Senator Percy in Debate on Canal Bill Claims We Cannot Discriminate in Favor of American Ships Under Treaty
IDENTIFICATION OF
 CANAL ARRANGED
But a Proposal by This Country for Discrimina- tion Would Have Left This Country Bound by Clayton -Bulwer Pact
ASSOCIATED PRESS D1sPArCHI

WASHINGTON, July 23-"I do not believe we should give free tolls through the Panama canal to our shipping either coastwise or inter- national" said Senator Percy of Mis- sissippi in a speech today in the sen ate. Neither does he believe that the Hay Pauncefote treaty with Great Britain permits the United States to discriminate against foreign shipping in the interests of American com merce
 Percy said the United States un- doubtedly had made a hard bar gain" in the Hay Pauncefote treaty, but that a sense of national respon- sibility should prevent this country from breaking it's contract. Great Britain had given up certain rights under the Clayton Bulwer treaty and without such action the United States would have been unable to build the canal
 Senator Bristow retorted that the Clayton Bulwer treaty had always been violated by Great Britain and practically had ceased to be opera tive before the Hay -Pauncefote treaty was made.
 Percy contended that there could be no abrogatiOn of the present treaty even if the Hague court should pass upon it.
 Senator Cummins said he believed the case could never be properly submitted to the Hague. Tt would rot be possible to get a fair. un- biased court" said he. T would as soon submit the case to Great Britain alone
 Percy declared that he believed a fair trial could be had. If a small community of interests among ma = tions made it impossible to secure an unbiased international court. we might as we'll pause in the develop ment of our international relations, " he said.
 Percy argued that the neutrality of the canal had been guaranteed by the United States in return for Great Britain's surrender of her protest rights against it's Qualification. The United States could not in fairness under the British treaty, therefore claim the right in favor of it's own ships If such a provision had been made a part of the treaty it would have been instantly rejected by Great Britain.
 Tt has been said that we cannot get a fair trial at the Hague" said Percy" If we are not to present to any court the claim that we are entitled to these privileges under the treaty we could not escape a charge on the part of all nations that we are making a disreputable attempt to evade our just obligations"
 Percy thought the United States enjoyed particularly no privilege un- der the Hay Pauncefote treaty which it is not bound to share with the world
 At the conclusion of Senator Percy's speech the measure gave way tc the sundry civil appropriation bill which hats pushed it aside for severa days. Senator Brandegee expressed little confidence today of early actior on the canal bill.

ticles | have read unon him picture
him as very wonderful individual.
In an elegantly furnished modern
house / found Abbas Effendi seated
on a sofa. waiting for me. He is
striking figure in any garb. and
when clad in white tarboosh. or
fez, with q white cloth wound around
1t, Moslem Style. and a long gray outer
cloak OF mohair, like a motor coat.
and two white clOaks beneath IL, he
would attract attention anywhere. He
resembles, In appearance and manner.
General Booth OF the Salvation Army,
more than any other man recall. He
has the same Roman nose, the same
restless, hawk-like eye, the same silver
beard and shaggy iron gray locks, the
same transparent skin.
AS he speaks Abbas Effendi opens
wide his big gray eyes beneath his
bushy eyebrows, and looks directly at
one, giving on appearance OF unsim-
ulated interest and sincerity. He is
a restless person-dOubtless those 40
odd years as prisoner have left
their mark on his neryes-and through
out the interview he wriggled and
twisted his body, sometimes revealing
the folded red bandana handkerchief
upon which he sat; sometimes cooking
his fez to the back of his head. and
again to the side, and sometimes rak-
lshly forward until 1t rested on the
high bridge of his nose. All the
while he was talking he twiddled in
his long white hands a string of moth
er-of-pearls beads, such as gentlemen
commonly carry In this part of the
world. Altogether, he looks the part
of benevolent old gentleman with
considerable force of character.
This positiveness was shown during
the interview. A gcntle-faced young
Erglishman, who looked filter for ESQ.,
teric discussions than for the football
field. had been doing the interpreting,
Abbas Effendi speaking in Persian.
The most difficult form of iDterpreta-

with saying that he had many friends

IDENTIFY with these centers that he con-
ducts his correspondence, for the
names frequently REQUIRED.
AS to the number OF Behaists in the
world he was equally vague, but wholly
honest When said that friend from
Persia had told me that fully half the
people In Persia are Behaists, he
promptly declared that he thought this
number entirely too high Equally
candid was he in saying that there are
practically no Behaists in Turkey; tho
following is found chiefly In Persia,
and then in India, America, Great Brit
ain, and n scattering in other coun-
tries. Quality" he remarked, sis
more important than quantity: better

aptness In the art Of illustration: this

main track Of the meaning OF Behaism.
