TAFT SENDS MESSAGE
!. ON PANAMA MEASURE
President Wants to Assure For.
eign Nations of Fairness and
Would Give Them Remedy

WASHINGTON, Aug. 19.-Presi-
dent Taft closed day of conference
on the Panama canal bill with a
special message to congress suggest
ing the passage of legislation which
would permit American ships to
travel the canal toll free and which
would also allow foreign nations to
test the legality this provision by
suits in the United States courts.
The president discussed the mes
sage with members of both houses
and the wording was decided upon
at a cabinet meeting. 1t was the
belief tonight that effort would be
made to meet the presidents wishes,
although some of the leaders were
inclined to think the message would
mean no further canal action at the
present session.
Action Would Abrogate Treaties
The president explained that he is
anxious to sign the present bill but
wished to assure other governments
of the spirit of fairness on the part
of the United States. The president
was told an act of congress would
have the effect of abrogating any
treaty previously agreed to and the
decision of the supreme court over
the Chinese exclusion act was given
as authority for the statement.
President Taft states he is conf
dent the exemption of the coastwise
vessels of the United States from tolls
was not violation of the Hay
Paunefote treaty.
The message after being read In
the house was referred to the inter.
state commerce committee. 1T Is
gone to bed so far as the house is
concerned" said Chairman Adam
SON" He said he had not been able
to get quorum of his committee for
three weeks. tere

BOARD OF MANAGERS
TO ASSIST MILITIA
Plans Discussed for Erection OF
Armory Here That Will
Be a Credit

The board of managers of the
Yakima Commercial club, at a meet
ing held last evening took cognizance
of the need of the two local COM
panies of the National Guard of
Washington for an armory. The
amount lost in the three fires with
which they have had a too intimate
acquaintance, would have paid the
interest for long time on the
amount that would have constructed
fine armory. North Yakima is the
only city in the state with two mill
tia companies that has no armory
The managers were of the opinion
that the local companies should be
backed morally and otherwise, and
that an armory should be built that
would not only do for the present, but
with an eye to the future 1t was
shown that there is no large hall m
the city at present large enough to
accommodate a large convention and
that. consequently the proposition
would not be liable to meet with op-
position.
The managers decided to assure the
National Guard officers that they
would stand by them in their hour Of
need.
Adjutant General Fred Llewellyn
was to have arrived on the train from
Seattle last night and hold a consul
tation with Secretary c. G. Ware on
what Is best to be done.

Several grounds were advanced, IN

Claim Lack of Evidence
It was argued that barrow was

against him and had been acquitted
and that the prosecution had no evil

in the recent trial. Judge Hutton de-
clared there was some foundation for

Tell Dramatic Story
Although told in an official report,
the story is one of the most dramatic
in colonial annals. For years Rogers
carried on lawless trade which pop
ular opinion credited him with net
ting him a fortune. The British Of
ficials of Soudan repeatedly and vain
ly tried to trap him. Rogers, accord
ing to Fox, had tablshed an or
ganized administration over the wild
trackless country and among the ma
tives was virtually an uncrowned
king. Not since Henry M. Stanley
pierced the jungles and found DR..
Livingstone has such story of hard
ships come out of Africa.
Outlaw Was Cunning
The pursuers spent weeks in plung-
ing through the jungles. Rogers cum
ningly led them through the densest
swamp and forests and before the
outlaw was overtaken, had crossed
the Nile into the Belgian Congo.
Creeping up the Uganda bank of the
Nile the expedition spent six weeks
before the quarry was located. Fox
and his men were almost facing star
yation in the wilderness Rogers was
not far, ahead and his natives taunt-
ed the soldiers.
Dying, Sends for Pursuer ,
Finally. Fox was summoned to
Rogers. who lay dying, accompanied
Ey n white man whom he addressed
as doctor and whose name is omitted
from the report, Rogers said he had
been shot by Fox's men. Just before
he died Rogers pulled his revolver
and aimed at the captain but did not
fire. He said: "Well. had my good
times as we'll as bad. 1 can't stand

Just live up to it," Then Rogers rec
