No-ToLL CANAL BILL PASSES
House Votes for Measure Giving Ben
eft to American Ships

Washington, May 2S.-Vessels en-
gagged in the American coastwise
trade will be required to pay no tolls
under the terms of the Panama canal
bill which passed the House today by
an Overwhelming majority. The vote
on the toll proposition was close
one and could have been swung the
other way by any eleven members
changing their votes.
1t also marked the end of a bitter
contest between the tidewater mem
bers and those from the inland states
and tidewater Congressman won by
a vote of lat to 1876. Practically all
of the tidewater states voted solidly
against taxing coastwise chipping for
the use of the canal. The Pennsyl
vania delegation voted solidly. Re
publicans and Democrats against tolls
on coastwise ships.
BY vote of 206 to 81 the House
also decided that railroads must part
with their interest in or control over
steamships with which these raj
lines compete for traffic.

Two years ago more than five
thousand persons in this country
were killed or seriously injured as
result of the use of explosives on the
Fourth of July Last year many cit
les and towns took up the safe and
sane variety of celebration, and the
result was that the number of accid-
ents and the number of fatalities was
reduced nearly one-half. These fig
ures are pretty good argument in
favor of cutting out some of the hor-
rors attendant on July 4. 1t is not
vet too late for the Bennington vii
lage trustees to enact rules on this
important matter There is no good
reason for giant crackers, metal cane
bombs and blank cartridges which dc
the most damage Better substitute
some other kind of sport in place OF
these menaces to lives and property

FIGHTING BOB" EVANS.
His Meeting With His Confederate
Brother and the Result.


Tradition has ii that after young
RobleN D. Evans went to Annapolis he
wasn't long in showing his mettle.
The story of his first assertion of his
personality runs after this fashion,:
When he left for the Naval academy
his mother gave him framed copy Of
the Lords Prayer and instructed hin
to hang it over his bed. He complied,
notwithstanding the fact that the rules
Of the academy forbade the placing Of
decorations In the rooms. An inspec-
tor demonstrated with him and ordered
him to remove the prayer. Evans
swore that he would smash the face Of
the first man who touched it, The in-
spector referred the act of insubordi-
nation to the commandant who took 1t
up with the secretary Of the navy.
Evans wrote home about the episode.
1t got into the papers. An indignation
meeting was held in his home town
and a protest made TO the president.
In the end a special dispensation was
granted, allowing the cadet to keep his
decoration"
Being a Virginian, young Evans was
urged by his mother to throw in his lot
with the south when the civil war
came. This he declined to do, so It fell
out that he and his brother fought on
opposite sides during the civil war.
On one occasion Robley Evans entered
restaurant In Washington and OBJ
served his brother eating.
"An exchange Of glances between us
was quite enough" said Evans after
ward. Not a word was spoken by
either Of us. He paid his bill and has
tlly left the place, knowing very well
that / would report his presence In the
city. | ordered more oysters than
wanted and took plenty Of time to eat
them. He had come across the Poto-

ed to give him a brotherly chance TO

his boat and escaped, though a soldier

1t appears that the new Progressive
Republican League which was formed
at Montpelier, did not endorse Mr..
De Boer for governor, as was report

any candidates, but to make its fight
for principles only. After the meet
ing was over the supporters Of Mr..
De Boer had a separate meeting. and
doomed their candidate as they had
a perfect right to do. There is no
question that there are a good lot of
progressive things that Vermont
