RATES FOR CANAL
ARE ESTABLISHED
President Taft Issues PrcCla-
ton in Which British Pro-
test Is Ignored.

Western Newspaper Union News Service.
Washington.-Pres Taft has is
sued a proclamation fixing the rates
that the foreign shipping of the
world shall pay for passage through
the Panama canal The proclamation.
made under authority of the canal
act passed by Congress in August, es-
tablishes a merchant vessel rate OF
s1.2O per ton of actual carrying ca
racitv, with a reduction of 40 per
I cent on ships in ballast.
The provisions of the proclamation
are as follows:
l.. On merchant vessels carrying
passengers or cargo, $1.20 per net yes
sci ton-each 100 cubic feet-of ac-
tual carrying capacity.
2. On vessels in ballast without
passengers or cargo, 40 per cent less
than the rate of tolls for vessels with
passengers or cargo.
3. Upon naval vessels other than
transports, colliers, hospital ships and
supply ships, so cents per displace-
ment ton.
4. Upon army and navy trans
port, colliers, hospital ships and sup
ply ships, $1.20 per net ton, the ves'
sells to be measured by the same rules
as are employed in determining the
net tonnage of merchant vessels
THE secretary of war will pre-
pare and prescribe such rules for the
measurement of vessels and sucn
n ations as may be necessary and
proper to carry this proclamation into
full force and effect"
American coastwise shipping was
exempted from toll payments by
Congress. 1t was to this provision
of the act that Great Britain diplo
matically protested. No reference tc
the incident was made in the presi
dents proclamation.
American naval vessels are exempt
ed without specific mention, either II
the act of Congress or the proclama
ton, because the authorities believed
it unnecessary to explain the useless
ness of payment from its Navy De
partment pocket to the one belonging
to the Treasury Department. Th'
, rates named are practically the SAM
as will be in force at the Suez cana
next year.
The report shows that foreig1
traffic of about 100000 tons may b
expected through the canal during
, the first two years Of operation, =;
traffic of more than 100000 tons Il
1921, and 100000 tons in 1925. Pre-
fessor Johnson estimated that an IL

WILL ENFORCE
LAW ON SIGNS
Must Not Protrude Ovey :
Feet from Buildings.

AS the result of a controversy over
the erection of a large electric sign
in front of John S%lobodien's shoe
store in State street, steps will be
taken by the city fathers to prevent
continuance in the breaking of an
ordinance governing street obstruc-
lions. Under the ordinance, signs
or other distractions may lot pro-
trude more than three feet from any
building line. The police have en-
forced the law. but politicians have
often i%nterfered, according to Chief
of Police Burke.
Acting Mayor Garretson. Alder
man F. A. Seaman and Alderman
Richard j. Calvin agreed hat the
S~lobodien sign, which was in shoe
form and about seven feet long, was
a beauty and said they would not
hinder It's erection. They took this
position following Mr.. Slobodien's
argument that there were so many
other sign violations. Patrolman
Quinlan had previously stopped the
erection of the sign.
1t became known today that Act
ing Mayor Garretson had stated after
the incident of yesterday that no
more signs would be permitted il
they were In violation of the law.

M0NC00SE IS MORE
DESTRUCTIVE THAN RAT

In India and other parts of the
world there is a little animal known
rs the mongoose. 1t is more prolific
than the English sparrow or the
guinea pig. 1t is more destructive
to crops than the rat, the mole or
the prairie dog. 1t is SO pestiferous
that q price is placed upon its heau
wherever 1t appears. In Hindustah
II is kept in many houses to rid them
of reptiles and other vermin. 1t is
such a quick little scamp hat a snake
runs a poor chance with it in a free
fight. 1t It's snakes and grows fat
on them. All this has led the Hin
docs to believe it immune from snake
poison. Science has shown, how
ever, that its immunity lies in its
ability to dodge the snakes fangs.
There is a law which prohibits the
mongoose from landing in this coun-
try, and great wa~tchfulless is excl
cised TO see hat it is kept out. Not
long ago one was landed %surreptit-
iously in Everett, Washington. II
was discovered and killed by the
Federal authorities a few weeks
later. This incident shows in what
strange ways Uncle Sam is at WORN
day and night looking after your
welfare. There are hundreds OF
pages of equally as striking informa.
tirn in the new book. THE American
