Cannot Afford Free Tolls.

In view of all these facts members
of the committee on interstate and
foreign commerce are asking whether
the nation can afford free tolls to any
body, even for the important purpose
of granting a subsidy to the American
merchant marine Members of the
committee who favored free tolls for
American ships when they sailed
from New York December 10 have
come home opposed to free tolls. AS
stated above, nearly every member OF
the committee who made the trip
takes this view, the other members
still favoring free tolls being those
who did not go and who as yet have
not had access to the testimony taken
by the committee while on the 18TH
mus.
/ 1t seems that every year one of the
executive departments which is d.
rectly interested in the canal is try
/ ing to induce Congress to increase its
appropriations The army and navy
have been mentioned, as has the
Treasury Department which has
charge of the public health and ma
rine hospital service, The Depart
ment of Commerce and Labor is back
of the proposition looking to free
tolls, which would enlarge its opera
tons.

Testifying before the committee On
the Isthmus, Colonel Goethals, chief
engineer in charge of the work, esti-
mated that the aggregate direct ex-
pense for the operation and mainte-
nance of the canal, including the gov
eminent of the Canal Zone, would be
S2S,000,O0 a year. This sum would
include $12,OOO,OOO interest on the
S400,000,000 the government will eN-
pend in the construction of the canal;
$4,OOO,00O a year for the cost of the
actual operation; about $1O,OOO,OCO
for military protection of the Canal
Zone, the military force to consist of
six regiments of infantry three bat
teries of field artillery, in addition TO
various auxiliary forces. The naval
contingent will consist of about 1900
marines which, with the other auXll
iary forces just referred to, would
cost about 100000 more.
So much for the direct expense
yearly. Army and navy officers init
mate quite clearly that the indirect
expense, in the course of time, will be
quite as great as the direct expense,
and that means that the government
is face to face with the proposition TO
appropriate every year something like
S600O0,0O0 in order to maintain the
canal when completed, at the highest
ntn of ,rnrlrinrr III ninnnrt

expense, in the course OF time, VIII be
quite as great as the direct expense,
and that means that the government
is face to face with the proposition TO
appropriate every year something like
$GO,OOO,OOO in order to maintain the
canal, when completed, at the highest
state of working efficiency.
Britain Fortifying Jamaica.
In this connection attention is
called by members of the committee
to the fact that Great Britain is az
present fortifying Jamaica, with
view to making it as nearly impreg-
nable as modern big guns will per-
nit Naval officers are unanimous in
telling the committee that it will not
do to have such a strong fertilization
directly in the line of communication
with Panama without having an
American force at both entrances TO
the canal to meet any contingency
that may arise. This means, reduced
to the Technology of Congress, that
provision must be made by that body
for additional battleships and arma-
ment, and that demands for these
things are to increase rather than
diminish by reason of the canal con
struction.
Eight Thousand Soldiers for Hawaii.
Then there is the well known fact
that service in the tropics means de-
terioration for the troops, and that it
is unwise to keep men in that part
of the world longer than two years at
time. This means a demand by the
War Department for a radical in.
crease of the size of the regular army,
with the cost such proceeding would
represent. The army plans with ref
erence to Panama include the crea
tion of three tropical divisions OF
troops, one each for Panama, Hawaii
and the Philippines, the first named
to consist of 5000 men, the second OF
5000 men and the third of 10000 men
This would absorb half of the avail
able strength of the army on its pres,
ent footing and clearly call for addi
tional regiments, if the regiments
sent 20 the tropics are to be relieved
| promptly. The War Department plan
is to have six continental divisions
/ from which to supply the three trop-
/ ical divisions. This would call Tor
nine major generals and probably for
two lieutnant generals, all this mean
| ing expense.
The public health and marine hos
pital service, as another item of indi-
rect expense, would require a large
additional permanent appropriation to
cover the inspection of all ships pass
ing through the canal and the main
tenance of sufficient quarantine regu-
lations throughout the entire Canal
Zone.
The estimate, therefore, is that the
indirect expence yearly of operating
the canal would in time be as great
as the direct expense.

TO RETURN
IN TIME FOR FRAY
Montclair Mayor Cuts Euro
pean Visit Short to
Start Campaign.

Word has reached Montclair that
Mayor Ernest c. Hinck, who is now
in Europe, will cut his visit short
and return to Montclair about a week
before the election in November. The
entrance of Councilman Walker
kidde into the mayoralty race has
something to do with the Mayors
hasty return, it is believed.
When the Mayor sailed for Europe
he said he did not intend to return
until November 10, and when re-
minded by a reporter for the Evening
Star that the election would take
place before that time, he replied:
4 am going fer a good time and
don't intend to let the election inter
fere with it."
AT the primaries last September
Mr. H1nek was unopposed on the Re
publican ticket for denomination, and
e he sailed for Europe there was
no talk of another Republican enter
ing the field. Since that time, how
ever, Councilman Kidde has been
nominated by petition.
The Mayors return to take part in
the campaign will make things lively
in the town, as he is a hustler on
the stump. Mr.. Kidde is a strong
candidate, and w. Locke Rockwell,
the Democratic candidate, has many
friends among all parties in Mont
clair. The last-named candidates
chances now look good despite the
big Republican vote in the town.

MAKING CAPITAL
OF ATTACK ON T.R.'
Wittpenn Accuses Roosevelt
Followers of Taking Un-
fair Advantage.

Mayor H. Otto Wittpenn, of Jersey
City, at a Democratic mass-meetins
In the Harrison Town Hall. last night
charged that the managers of Theo-
dore Roosevelt's campaign are making
capital of the attempted assassination
of the ex-President.. He declared the
presidential fight should be one of
principle and said no unfair advan-
tage should be taken by the Roose-
welt men.
Congressman Daniel j. McGilli-
cuddy, of Lewiston, Me-, in his ad-
dress attacked the Steel Trust. He
told of having. been a member of a
committee. which, for over a year,
investigated the trust. He pointed
out that iron produced in this coun-
try is sold by the trust at a cheaper
rate in Europe than it Is here. He de-
clared half of the capital of the trust
is watered.
Mr.. McGillicuddy declared the di-
rectors of the trust own one-twelfth
of the country's wealth. The speaker
expressed the opinion that these mag
mates never amassed their fortunes
honestly. Other speakers at the
meeting were Congressman James
Hamill and Eugene F. Kinkead, and
Assemblyman George Brensinger.
Councilman Edward J. Rice, of Har-
rison, was chairman Of the meeting,
Other Democratic meetings were
