INVESTIGATION IN ABEYANCE

Although the American Ice Company,
which faced an investigation by the grand
Jury for alleged violation of the Sherman
antitrust law has promised to be good
and to secure the abrogation Of the con-
tracts considered by the Department of
Justice to be in restraint of trade, a
hitch may yet occur, 1t Is said, before the
consideration of the matter Is dropped by
the grand jurors.
The American Ice Company has, it is
understood. contracts with eleven local
ice concerns which form a part Of what
the government claims is system such
as was condemned by the United States
Supreme Court in recent decision by
Justice Lurton.
The court there pointed out that while
one such contract might not be viola
ton of law, several such agreements, OF
which the other contracting parties had
notice, constituted a system of contracts
which amounted to monopoly Of trade.
Now. while the American Ice Company
has expressed its Willingness to recall Its
agreement under these contracts. 1T must
obtain the consent of the several other
parties TO the contracts. II was sug-
gested Herein lies the difficulty, as one
or more of these companies might decline
to let the American Ice Company out of
its agreement, according to the sugges-
tlOn, anu might threaten suit IOT Odm-
ages for breach of contract.
Conference Is Adjourned.
In order to give the officials Of the ice

DISCUSSES PANAMA Bill

The legislative, executive and judicial
appropriation BILL passed by the House
and Senate with the seven-year tenure
clause eliminated, but the Commerce
Court abolished, had not reached the
White House early this afternoon. It is
expected some time today or early tomor-
row morning. President Taft. it is known.
will not tarry long In again vetoing the
measure. Mr. Taft Is q strong believer in
the usefulness of the Commerce Court,
but bases his objection to the bill upon
the fact that 1t contains special legis.a-
ton that ought to be confined to separate
bills.
That the bill must eventually go back
to the President without the objection
able features Is practically certain. The
vote in the Senate yesterday demonstrat-
ed to the White House a fact heretofore
known there-that it viii be Impossible to
put the bill through the Senate over the
veto Of the President.
President Determined.
| The President will stay in Washington
all summer. he has told his friends, be-
| fore he will sign the bill as it stands.
The expectation Of callers Is that Con-
gress, after a few bluffs. will pass the
bill in shape that it can be signed by the
President.
Among congressional callers at the
White House today the impression pre-
vailed that it would not be the legis-
lative bill that would hold up final
adjournment There are other appro-
pria ton bills that are not yet ready
for action at the White House. That
it may be ten days longer before ad-
journment was a view pretty generally
held by visitors.
The Presidents attitude on the
doubt He had a conference today with
A. Mitchell Innes. the charge d'affaires
of the British embassy, and it was I'M
doubtedly in regard to the Presidents
efforts to have a concurrent resolution
put through Congress that will recOg-
nize the HayPauncefote treaty as to
the canal Mr.. Innes would not discuss
his visit or what England may think of
the whole matter.
Cabinet Discusses Bill.
After comforting with the ranking Off
cial OF the British embassy the President
Joined his cabinet officers at the regular
meeting of the cabinet, and the Pana-
ma canal bill, which has not yet gone to
the White House. was again discussed,
this being the third time within few
days the President has gone over the
question with his advisers. There would
be no hesitancv on the part of the Pres
ident to sign the bill if he could get from
the leaders of the House and Senate any
promise that they will pass a resolution
that acts to prevent the repeal of the
Hay Pauncefote treaty.

Favors Clear Stand.

Il am sure that it is not the intention
of Congress to violate the Hay Paunce-
fote treaty or to enact anything incOn-
sistent with its provisions, and that it
certainly is not its purpose to repeal, by
subsequent enactment, the treaty. in so
far as 1t represents the law of the land
IL is of the highest Importance. however

known to the nations OF the world, and
that We should avoid any justification for

Opinion of President.

The Presidents message said:
This language negatives absolutely
any desire on the part of Congress to re-
peal the HayPauncefote treaty or to vio-
late its provisions by this legislation, and
leave open to any person who deems him.
self aggrieved by the provisions of the
act an opportunity to appeal to our
courts
II think the Importance of our stand
ing before the world as anxious to give
the world an opportunity to test this
question in the courts is an earnest of our
good faith in attempting TO keep within
our treaty obligations.
After a full examination of the treaty
and of the treaty which preceded it,
feel confident that the exemption of the
coastwise vessels of the United States
from tolls, and the imposition of tolls on
vessels of all nations engaged in the for
eign trade, is not a violation of the Hay
Pauncefote treaty. But distinguished law
yers i'm the House and Senate differ from
this construction, and the Secretary of
State has received an informal protest
from the British government that the
contemplated legislation is a violation of
her treaty rights.

BROWNING'S GREATNESS
His Style Always Adequate to the
 Subject Matter He Handles.

Much of Browning's obscurity harshness and uncouthness falls im- mediately into it's proper place, is, indeed, necessary, as he believes that evil was necessity in the progress of the world.
 The proof of his true greatness, not as philosopher, thinkeS, psy- chologist, but as poet, lies i'll the simple fact that when the subject matter he handles is beautiful or sublime, his style is usually adequate to the situation.
 "The Ring and the Book, for ex- ample, must be taken as a whole. It is full of exquisite beauty, amazing felicity of expression, fluent rhythm and melody; full also of crudities, jolts, harshness, pedantry' wretched witticisms and coarseness. Why these contrasts. Because ft is study of human testimony. The lawyers talk like tiresome, conceited pedants be- 
 cause they are tiresome, concelted pedants; Pompilia speaks Hike spiritual woman in love with Cap ansacchi, which was exactly her na- lures and her state of mind. Guido speaks at first with well-controlled smiling irony, and later rages like a wild beast caught in spring-trap. In each instance the language of the poet is we'll adapted to the subject If Pompilia's dying tribute to Cap onsacchi had been expressed in Ian guage as dull and flat as the pleas of the lawyers, then we should be quiet sure that Browning, whatever he was, was no poet.
