INSTIGATOR FOR

BELIEVED UNITED KINGDOM RE
SPONSIBLE FOR FIGHT OVER

WASHINGTON, July 17.-Con-
gresham Knowlahd told President
Taft today that the American rail
roads, acting with the Canadian
transcontinental lines, had instigat-
ed England 5 protest for free tolls
for American vessels through the
Panama canals After a conference
Knowland said 1T is the railroad
fight. Free tolls for American yes
sells means lower railroad rates.
We built and financed the canal
and congress will not concede Eng
lands right to dictate the tolls"
1t is doubted whether America
will be willing to submit the ques-
tion to The Hague, because all
the foreign interests will be against
America. A British protest is ex-
pected tomorrow, to be forwarded tc
to the senate. Taft may also sent
special message.
