HIGHER DUTY 0N
 GERMAN PRODUCTS Move Fraught With Grave Possibilities of Retaliation
 and Tariff War

Washington, August 22.-A eountervail- ing duty in importations of wheat and rye, flour and split peas from Germany, vas ordered by Secretary MaeYeagh to- day because those commodities enjoy a bounty from the German government. This decisive step was necessary. off eials declare, to protect the American split pea industry which, 1t is added is being destroyed by German competi- fion. grown to formidable proportions by reason Of the bounty.
 While the move is fraught with grave possibilities of retaliation and a conse- orent tariff war between the United States and Germany. officials were in- clined to take the hopeful view that Ger many would repeal the bounty as it l. said not be popular in that country.

A great quantity of German reas enter the United States annually Germany, it is said, practically has driv- en American split peas out of the mar ket in the eastern states and is making inroads in other parts of the country
 This action is taken under the Payne tariff law providing a countervaiiing duty equal to the bounty granted by d for eign country on any exporta ton. The German bounty on peas amounts tc about thirty-six cents on each loo pounds

Walkesbarre, Pa. August PA severe attack on Senator Penrose of Penusyl- Vania, was made tonight by Colonel Roosevelt. The senator he said. was like a cutie fish which, lacking the eour- age to fight its enemy. squirts ink. in the hope that 1t might escape. In de- nouncing the Senator Colonel Roosevelt repeated his denial that he had known of any Standard oil contribution to the presidential campaign of 1901.
 Colonel Roosevelts speech was made in the armory at meeting held in con nection with jubilee of the Rev. Father Curran. After Colonel Roosevelt had paid tribute to Father Curran he said:
 And now word about honesty. We can't have any reform unless we have honesty in both business and politics By natural sequence of thought I now come to Senator Penrose of Pennsyl- vania.
 Recently certain definite specific charges were made against Senator Pen rose. I personally knew nothing of them and had not even looked into the charges until Mr Penrose succeeded in riveting my attention upon them. Yes terday he got up in the Senate to deny thoses charges and brought in hearsay charges against me.
 'I call your attention to an analogue to Senator Penrose among the inferior forms of animal life; the cutie fish.

 PENROSE TO A CUTTLE FISH

When the cutie fish is attacked by at. enemy which it lacks the courage to op- pose fl sauirts ink and escapes hoping that the enemy will attack the ink in- si cad of the cutie fish. l now propose to clear away the ink and attack the cutie fish.
 "The statement of Mir Penrose was that he had heard that by my direction sl0o,OO0 was asked for from the Standard Oil company for my campaign eontribu- tion and that a further sum was asked for. AIr. Penrose gave this evidence on hearsay. It is a thoroughly base and contemptble thing for MT. Penrose to repeat such evidence on hearsay'
 Colonel Roosevelt then referred to the letters which he gave out last night which he sent to George B. Cortelyou, chairman of the republican national committee in 1904. directing that no cam paign contribution be received from the Standard oil company.
 Any man who reads those letters, ' he continued, "is bound. if he Is an hon. est man. to state that l acted in ab- solutely the right course
 '''rhe proof of the pudding is in the eating Every trust controlled news raper in the land is doing everything in it's power to beat me. Do you think that those trust papers would be trying tc beat me if I had been satisfactory to the Standard oil company and that crowd?

 | This is the precise equivalen. to the | sl 25 maximum tolls which the Panama canal act prescribes for vessels, passing through that waterway.
 Prof Emory R. Johnson, whose ex- | liaustive investigation of the financial aspect of the Panama canal. as special commissioner for the war department. | formed the basis for the action of the | congressional committee in fixing the toll fates on the canal, held that if the Pan sma project was to be success finan- ciallv and commercially. it's tolls should be | lower than those of the Suez canal. This I was on the basis that the Panama route would secure at least a minor share Of | tne shipping moving between Europe and | the Pacific coast ports of Asia. Even ]. lower tolls at Panama, he neld- would not draw away from the Suez canal a large part of the Oriental trade because tf traffic opportunities the price of coal and ether supplies which nave deter minins effect upon the selection of routes.
