youngest brother, Joseph r. Wilson,
a newspaper man of Nashville Tenn.
The governor met the newspaper cor
respondents tonight at a local hotel and
was asked concerning those planks in
the Baltimore platform which he did
not mention in his speech of accept
ance
Omissions did not mean opposition,
explained the governor. The things
omitted did not happen to come in my
theme
With respect to the navy, the gov
ernor indicated. that discussion of the
subject at the present might be con-
strued as an assumption on his party
"of the privilege of directing the House
of Representatives" He intimated he
would take up in his future speeches
the navy question as we'll as other Is
sues not touched upon In yesterday S
speech.
kilograms lauding Governor Wilson's
speech of acceptance were given out at
national headquarters today from many
prominent democrats, Including w. J.
Bryan, Speaker Clark, Governor Marshall.
Senator Kern OF Indiana. Louis b. Bran
deis of Boston, Senator Hoke Smith or
Georgia, Mayor Fitzgerald or Boston,
Norman e. Mack, Governor Dix of New
York, Mayor Carter H. Harrison of Chi
cago Governor ONeal of Alabama and
Elmois W. Hurst of Illinois.
Norman e. Mack called on the new ma
tIonaI chairman, William F. McCombs,
today and promised to visit national head
quarters as often as possible within the
next three weeks and render as much as
sistance as he could.
Mr. McCombs today met number OF
national committeeman from states re-
garded as doubtful. He will continue
to have conferences In the next few days

British Question

1t will not be necessary for secretary
Knox to advise the British government
OF the aofion taken exemptins American
vessels from paying canal tolls, unless
Great Britain cnose TO make specific i'll
quiry on that point.
Although there has been ITO formal
statement of the views Of the administra-
tlon In regard 10 the matter Of tolls for
American shipping since ane pending
canal bill vas reported from the House
committee In inter-oceanic canals. II may
safely be inferred that there has been
no change IN the position since, In public.
President Taft and Secretary Stlnson
both asserted the right OF the United
States 10 remit the tolls or grant rebates
TO American ships
Students Of the situation point ut that
Great Britain could reduce the tolls OF the
Suez canal to a point that would divert
to the suez, a great share OF the pros
pectiye business OF the Panama. canal

Railroad Control

The Senate worked tonight ON the rail-
road control feature of the Panama bill.
Senator Bristow opposed the plan of rail-
road controlled vessels, suggested by tie
Senate committee, and urged the adop-
ton of the plan passed by the House,
which would give the interstate commerce
commission Jurisdiction
one important restriction was placed
upon the Williams free ship amendment
adopted today This provided that no
foreign built ship admitted to American
registry should be allowed to participate
in mail carrying contracts unless 1t was
constructed with particular reference to
speedy and economical conversion into
an auxiliary naval cruiser.
A somewhat similar restriction was
made upon tho granyag Of the free toll
privilege to American vessels engaged i'll
foreign trade The provision adopted by
the Senate specifies that owners of yes
sells engaged In foreign trade must agree
TO sell their ships to the United States
In time OF wal or other emergencies TO
be- exempt from the payment Of tolls.
The Senate struck from tho bill pro-
vision to authorize Immediate settlement
on the Isthmus Of claims for damages
to ships passing through tho canal.

ANOTHER FAD DISCOVERED.

About thirty years ago there was

the reflected rays from blue glass
cured all manner of diseases, and
made the skin soft and the complex

would sit for hours before blue glass
screens. Now another fad is about
TO be originated. Moving picture films
are ma,le in dark rooms only illumi-

Garkened rooms for nine hours a day.
