OBJECTS TO
CANAL TOLLS
Formal Note Of Protest VIII
Ask That All Shipping
be Free
STATE DEPARTMENT
GETS ADVANCED ADVISE
IN The unIted Press.


WASHINGTON. July 11.-Great
Britaih's objections to free Panama
canal tolls to American vessels will
be outlined in a formal note expected
soon, according TO information re-
ceived at the state Department today.
An indignant protest is not expect
ed. But the British view, alleging un-
fair discrimination against tolls as
sessed foreign ships, will be out
lined in the note, for presentation to
the Senate.
Consideration in the Senate Of the
Panama Canal bill will not be post
poned however, to await Great Bri-
tains statements OF objections, it
was declared today by Senator Bran
degee, chairman OF the committee In
charge OF the measure. He gave out
the preliminary "hote," transmitted
to the State Department by Alfred
Mitchell Innes. charge d'affaires OF
the British embassy II was tele-
gram, as follows:
Il shall shortly be in a position to
make a communication regarding the
proposed Panama anal dues. / trust
that II may be possible for you in
the meanwhile 70 postpone the fur
ther consideration Of the bill by Con-
gress."
Innes sent his telegram from Kineo,
Maine Ambassador Bryce is touring
Australia, the British embassy being
deserted
Il replied that the Senate cannot
and will not postpone the taking up
OF the Panama Canal bill" said Sem
ator Brandegee today. "rhe bill was
reported to the Senate June 12, and
is on the calendar for hearing. IL
Will come up very soon if tariff leg
islation goes off.
II think probably the section pro-
hibiting railroad owned ships from
using the canal or the American free
tolls provision, or probably both, are
Objectionable to Great Britain" said
Senator Brandegee "The free tolls
for American shipping is said by
many diplomats and Senators to vio-
late the Hay Pauncefot treaty OF
1901. under which this government
acquired the canal site The third
clause Of this treaty reads The
canal shall be free and open to the
vessels of commerce and war of all
nations, on terms of entire
equality, so that there shall be no dis
elimination against any such nation,
on charges of traffic or 9TH
erwise
"The Senate committee is at odds
over the entire bill"
Germany. France and other ship
ping nations are reported to be in ac-
cord with the British protest. but are
letting Johnny Bull act as spokesman,
according to reports at the State De-
partment
Il was understood that part Of
Great Britain's objection was founded
on the extensive shipping interests Of

PESKY FLIES

CITY JUDGE HOLDS.

The question Of whether the keep
ing Of anything that attracts swarms
Of flies can constitute legal reason
for ordering it's removal was prob
lem brought up In City Court this
morning. j. Austin Ellison, secre-
tary Of the Board Of Health, and DR..
Julian Aoair, appeared against Sam
uel Brosky a dealer in hides, testi-
flying that when they visited his
premises. No.f113 West Second street,
yesterday. they found the odor of the
hides very strong and large swarms
of flies attracted. DR.. Adair stated
that the odor in itself would not be
detrimental to the public health, but
that the flies could carry disease
germs from any OF the hides to hu-
man beings. Secretary Ellison said
the Brosky place was Kept as clean
as possible
Other hide dealers. have been re-
moved from the neighborhood because
of the bad condition Of their prem

that at the Fame Fire Company's

odors annoyed them from the hides
kept by Brosky. Maurice Altman
also said the complaints in the

ALLEE TOO LATE
FOR ABBOTT MEAL

Under the caption. "a Sad Accident
IN Fourth Avenue" the New York
Sun editorially says;
Every real friend OF the Progressive
cause must regret the unhappy acci-
dent which occurred in the Office OF
the Outlook on Tuesday. BY reason
OF this accident the Hon. J. Frank
Alice, still memorable for his part in
a fairly recent uplift campaign in
Delaware arrived too late to join Or.
Lyman Abbott and his staff at their
modest MONDAY meal.
A whole political world has reason
TO mourn the accident for it is plain
there could have been no design in the
thing. The spectacle of Dr. Abbott
and the former Senator from Della
ware discussing the spiritual and
practical aspects OF the Progressive
campaien over their flowing break
ers of milk could the limits OF sim
gle campaign measure its inspiring
APPEAR e..
Unfortunate as was the accident, It
does not completely obscure the
visit OF the Hon. J. Frenk Alice to the
headouarters of virtue. Where else in
this great battle for human liberty
would the lieutenant OF the Hon. j,
Edward Addicks go? The moment he
read the list OF the financial hackers
of the Bull Moose undertaking his
heart was in the cause. The appeal
to the Colonel has been issued to the
Minute Men Of 1912, and here is the
Hon. J. Frank Alice almost on the
minute.
AS for Or. Abbott, We trust he will
be able to repair his loss He owes
IL to himself. his cause and his jour
nal to devote at least hall an houi
to the improving conversation of th'
Hon. ]. Frenk Alice For the in.
struction and delight Of future gen
erations. too, we hope that neither
the dictagraph nor the moving pic
ture machine will be excluded on that
memorable occasion

reflected upon to make the following
statement:
1T has been stated that | received
a letter from the young man. re-
ceiyed a postal, enclosed IN an en-
velope. All IL contained was, as near
as / can recall, the said postal now
being in hands of another party, I
am all right. Don't worry. Don't
know how l got here, nor where / am
going This was mailed somewhere
on train, between New York and Buff
falo as near as we can judge from
railway service stamp.
$50 far as can be ascertained there
was absolutely no reason why the
young man should have left home.
His family relations have always
been of the most pleasant character.
ldolized by every member, he was in
fact master of that home Neither my
self nor any member OF his family ever
had a harsh word with him, (and to
this / can take OATH; every sacri-
flee was made for his advancement,
and he was apparently devoted to all.
Reports from his university, with
additional inquiries made since his un-
fortunate step, show that he was in
good standing mentally and morally,
and a bright future for him was an
ticipated
HE, at long intervals, was gently
and Kindly advised by parents in mat
ters pertaining to associations and
hours of rest until he should have
completed his university course, but
this advice was never given harshly,
and he seemed to accept 1t in the
same loving manner in which 1t was
given. There can be found no Grim
inal or moral reason for his action.
In search of our consciences we can
find no record of 'nagging' nor
unkind act, and are utterly at a
loss to find a basis for reflections upon
the happiness of his home life, said to
be contained In a letter the original
of which has never been shown to a
member of his family, though seen by
others not so closely interested.
May God watch over and save him
from any i'll consequences arising
from such a rash and unaccountable
act, false step without apparent rea-
son or mlnutest cause.
None can regret more than myself
the excitement TO which the cOmmu-
nifty has been subjected. / wish to ex-
press to each individual my heartfelt
thanks for all their kindness TO me
and mine during week of untold
trial, and simply say that time will
probably reveal the true motive in his
action, and God will place the respon-
sibility, as He only knows where il
should rest without prejudice.
I'm the interval let US forget night
of narrowing dreams, and awaken in
the full possession OF our normal
faculties, refusing alike to listen to lie
or gossip
with deep regrets for all the tur-
moil brought about through so unac-
countable an act, | tender my sincere
thanks to the community for its kind
ness and patience under such trying
circumstances.

velop.
George S. Capelle. president of the
National Bank of Wilmington and
Brandywine, being asked for infor-
nation concerning the proposed local
bank merger. stated that so far as
the National Bank of Wilmington and
Brandywine is concerned the holders
of the necessary two-thlrds of the
stock Of the bank have signified their
assent to the plan, and that there
fore under the National Banking Law
the plan has become effective.
Mr.. Capelle further stated that
nothing more remains to be done by
The National Bank of Wilmington
and Brandywine, except to take the
appropriate steps under the National
Banking Law for such liquidation
OF the Banks affairs as will enable
its assets to be consolidated with the
consolidated banking institution.
Upon being asked what is the
status of the stockholders that have
not assented, Mr.. Capelle stated that
all stockholders that have not assent
ed have until July 10 to avail them
selves of the Wilmington Trust Com
pany's offer. Ali stockholders who
do not avail themselves Of the offer
by July Is will receive their pro-
portionate part OF the banks assets
through the process OF liquidation.
Upon being asked as to where the
consolidated banking institution will
conduct its business, Mr.. Capelle
stated that the banking house at Sec
ond and Market streets, now occupied
and heretofore occupied by The Ma
tonal Bank of Wilmington and Bran
DIVINE will still remain open and be
conducted as one of the banking
houses of the consolidated bank,
under the charge and management OF
the same officers, and that the Gus
toners, of the bank will be accommo-
dated there as heretofore. but with
all the benefits of the increased facili-
ties

ment along lines similar to those of
Mr.. Capelle. Mr.. Winchester said teat

mington Trust Company to buy their
stock or exchange 1t for some cash
