the Continent ever since the Panama
Canal DILL became law, and in conse-
quence there has not been any oppOr-
tunity for the government TO frame It's
programme
It is possible that the government
will await the result Of the elections in
the United States in the hope that the
United States government may find a
way afterward of meeting British
wishes
The basis of last evenings announce
ment was an informal private declara-
ton made by an official Of the Foreign
Office 10 the reporters OF two news
agencies. The reporters thought it was
intended 10 be an official announcement
for publication, but the denial issued by
the Foreign Office this morning shows
that there was no such intention and
that the official had no authority to
make any such statement.
Some uncertainty existed at the For
eign Office this morning as to whether
the announcement should be contra
dicted. A denial was sent out early I'm
the morning, but later OH the news
papers were requested TO withhold its
publication. A short time afterward
the denial was reaffirmed and permitted

London. Sept. 4.-No diplomatic ac-
ton has yet been taken by Great Brit
ain with q view to invoking the pro-
visions OF the arbitration convention
Of 1905 By which any disputes on inter-
probation OF treaties between the
United Kingdom and the United States
are to be referred 10 The Hague.
Before any such step is taken both
the Panama Canal bill and the memo
rRndum In which President Taft de-
tends the preference given to Ameri-
can coastwise shipping must be ex-
am.ned by the law officer. OF the
crown. Their report will then be con-
sidered by the Cabinet, which Will de-
ternaine what action shall be taken.
II may be pointed out, adds The
Daily Mail" that the contention that
the Hay-Pauncefote treaty is voided by
the change Of nationality Of The terri
tory through which the Panama Canal
passes cannot be maintained. The
treaty contains special provisions
against Just such an eventually as
the transfer q territory.

uonents OF international law through
out the world against Americas att
tude is proposed by Professor Wilhelm
Kaufman, who occupies the chair Of
international law at the University Of
Berlin. Professor Kaufman says j
is IN the most urgent interest Of al
seafaring nations that international
law experts from all parts Of the civil
lized world should unite their voices
in declaring emphaticaily that the
Panama Canal act Is contrary to the
provisions OF the HRy-Pauncetote
treaty. as well az o. the treaty OF

PRESIDENT MAY
RULE CANAL ZONE
House Committee in Planning Per-
manent Government Gives Ex-
ecutive the Direct Control.

A bill providing a permanent form
of government for the Panama Canal
Zone and prescribing regulations for
the conduct of the great waterway
is nearing completion in the Inter
state Foreign Commerce COMMITTEES OF
the House of Representatives.
This measure. which Is OF vital con-
Germ to the commercial interests of
the United States, and which may to
some extent affect this. country's in
ternational relations, is certain 10 pro-
woke one of the liviest debates Of the
session. The big fight on this bill
will be waged over the question of
tolls. Representatives from the Mid
die and Northwest States insist that
the future business stability of those
sections Is dependent upon the levy
ing of charges on tranic passing the
canal, whether such trafic Is handled
by American or foreign shippers.
On the other hand. representatives
from the Atlantic and Pacific coasts
declare that the object sought by the
canal will not be attained unless the
canal Is made free to the commerce
of the world. They add that in any
event American ships should be admit
ted free or given the advantage Of
President Taft.
A canvass OF the House committee dis
closes that a majority is unutterably op-
posed to the Panama Canal being made
free waterway. Most of the Repub-
licans and all OF the Democrats will fight
the proposal of the President that tolls
be imposed on all ships, but that the
charges be remitted to American vessels.
The Democrats argue that the sugges-
ton of the President, II adopted. would
mean the payment of subsidies. The Re-
publican opponents of the plan, most Of
whom come from the Central West, in
sist that a free canal. or the remission
of tolls to American shippers, would re-
duce the volume OF business In that re-
gion by Is per cent
The bill now In course OF preparation
in the House Committee on Foreign Com
merces- win provide that the Canal Zone
shall be administered by the President
through a governor and such other Of
ficers as the President may appoint. This
will give the President practically auto
cratic power on the isthmus. A majority
of the committee is In accord on the
proposition that the President shall.

sented Edgar c. Snyder as POSTMASTER.

Warren told Of his life Of toll from his

vice in the war. and his acceptance of
Greeley's advice which landed him in

QUESTIONS TRUTH
or LABOR REPORT
Senator overman Would Have Com
mittee Visit Southern
Cotton Mills.

A committee Of United States sena-
tors may visit the cotton mill districts
of the South to make personal investi-
cation OF charges that have been made
BY the Bureau Of Labor as to conditions
that prevail among the min employees.
The charges are contained in a report
made public yesteday. and Southern
members Of Congress have manifested
much resentment over them.
Senator Overman declared last night
that he would introduce in the Senate
resolution requesting the appointment
Of a committee Of Senators to investi-
gate the truthfulness Of the report,
which. they SAID. was filled with lies
from beginning to end.
Il want the country 20 understand how
conditions In the mill sections Of the
South have been misrepresented by these
reports said Senator Overman. T
want a committee from the Senate TO
visit Atlanta, Greensboro. and Burling-
ton. N. c.. to see for themselves how
the cotton mill employees live.
Il haven't read this latest report care
fully. but from the newspaper accounts
am convinced that IL Is a pack Of lies"
Senator Overman yesterday had a eons
ference with Secretary OF Commerce and
Labor Nagel about the report, and the
Secretary agreed to write him fully
about the matter. The letter will give
the Senator something upon which he
may proceed IN the Senate.
Senator Overman belieYes that the pub
lication OF the reports Is inspired. in part.
by an organized movement to discredIt
the cotton mill industry of the South.
A misleading headline appeared in The
Washington Herald yesterday. the state-
ment that Southern mills are bad as
prisons being credited to the Bureau Of
Labor report. As a matter Of fact, the
report stated that the food upon which
the mill operatives In the South are
to live is worse than that
which was served to the prisoners IN
the Atlanta penitentiary. The report did
not reflect upon the conditions in the
mills themselves.

At last the good news can be pub

years eyeglasses and spectacles VIII be
so scarce that they will be regarded
as curioSities.
Throughout the civilized world there
has for several years been a recognized
movement by educated medical men.
particularly eye experts. toward treat
Ing sore. weak or strained eyes ra-
tionally. The old way has been TO ut
pair OF glasses as soon as the eyes
were found to be strained. These
glasses are nothing better than
crutches. They never overcome the
trouble. but merely give little relief
while being worn. and they make the
eyes gradually weaker. Every wearer
OF eyeglasses knows that he might as
well expect to cure rheumatism by
leaning upon q walking stick.
The great masses of sufferers from
eye-strain and other durable optic dis
orders have been misled by those who
were making fortunes out of eye
glasses and spectacles.
