GERMAN LAWYER DEFINES
u. S. RIGHTS ON CANAL


BERLIN. Sept. 3.-The privileges
accorded by the Panama canal act to
Amer vessels engaged in the
coasting trade is a violation of the
Hay-Pauncefote treaty. according TO
Wilhelm Kaufman, the well-known
professor of international law at Ber-
lin University.
In an article published in today's
Tageblatt, in which the professor
deals point by point with the con
%troversy, he says that in many re
spects the United States is entitled TO
impose compensatory dues or exeluds
entirely the sh ps u nations waich
pay subsidies, and thus violate The
conditions of entire equality provided
for by the treaty. The exclusion of
railroad-owned shipping IS, he says,
justified because those vessels are
practically subsidized.

MAYOR MUTAG GIVES
OUT STATEMENT
Will Run Again and Declares
There Is No Graft in
West Orange.

Mayor s.. A. Muta, OF West Orange,
who finally gave his consent TO again
become the candidate for mayor on
the Democratic ticket, after his
friends insisted he should, filed his
petition. In accepting denomination,
Mayor Muta made the following
statement:
Upon the earnest solicitations OF
my friends, | have decided to be a
candidate to succeed myself as mayor
of West orange, though shall make
no campaign whatever to gain the
Office. No prediction promises or
pledges were made by me in the pre-
vious campaign, except that ! would
personally see to 1t that the meetings
of the Council would be conducted in
an orderly and dignffied manner, and
that so far as was within my power
the towns business would be carried
on as economically as possible.
This have been explicitly fulfilled.
1.-The powers of a mayor under a
town government are very limited
he is the chairman of the Town Coun-
ell with one vote in a body of eleven,
and has no power of veto whatever
on the other hand he has many
duties, so unless one is willing 10
sacrifice himself and his time in the
cause of civic pride he finds he is
very poorly remunerated in the honor
he obtains from the title of mayor,
and the $3.50 salary he receives each
year.
TIC the best of my knowledge and
belief there is not a dishonest official
in the town; a great deal is heard
these days about graft, but | sin
cerely and honestly believe there is
none in West Orange"

THREE LINES OF ACTION
OPEN IN CANAL QUESTION

WASHINGTON. Sept. S,-No less
of action" are open to the British gov
eminent in dealing with the problem
raised by the passing of the Panama
canal tolls act. 1t is assumed here
that because there is moro than one
available avenue for British shipping
to seek relief the British Foreign
Office has said the notice of an appeal
for arbitration was premature.
President Taft has indicated one
method by which the problem may be
attacked. Congress, however. did not
think well of the suggestion. That
was to include in the act a para
graph giving jurisdiction to American
courts to pass upon whether the act
constituted a discrimination against
British shipping in violation of the
Hay-Pauncefote treaty. This sugges-
ton may yet be adopted at another
session of Congress.
Another means of dealing with the
British grievance would be to allow
any British ship owner &c test. under
existing law, before any United States
court. his right to use the canal under
the treaty on terms of equality with
American ship owners. Chairman
Adamson, of the House committee on
interstate and foreign commerce. and
many senators and other represent
atives have declared that if British
rights have been infringed there was
already a remedy in the statutes.
The last avenue of relief is arhitra-
ton, though many publicists have
held that owing to change of SOW
ereignty over the canal zone and other
events developed since the Hay
Pauncefote treaty Great Britain has
no actual right to demand arbitra-
ton.
As the canal cannot be opened for
a year and a half, there will be ample
time for the British Foreign Office to
elect which method of relief shall be
employed.
