The Avenues of Relief.

Washington. Sept. s.-No fewer
than three separate and distinct
lines Of action" are open to the
British government in dealing with
the problem raised by the passing
OF the Panama canal tolls act. It is
assumed here that because there is
more than one available avenue for
the British shipping to seek relief,
the British foreign Office has said the
notice of appeal for arbitration was
premature.
President Taft has indicated one
method by which the problem NAV
be attacked. Congress, however. did
not think we'll Of the suggestion. That
was to include in the act a paragraph,
giving jurisdiction to. the American
courts to pass upon whether the act
constituted discrimination against the
British shipping in violation Of the
Hay ay-Pauncefote treaty.
Another means of dealing with
the British grievance would be to al
low any British ship owner to test
under the existing law before any
United States court his right to use
the canal under the treaty on terms
of equality with. American ship own
ers ,,'"'
The other avenue is relief through
arbitration, although many publicists
have held that owing to the change
of sovereignty over the Canal zone
and other events that have developed
since the Hay-Pauncefote treaty.
Great Britain has no actual right ia
demand arbitration.

This morning Judge Lyp' denied to one William Kenny of Blum and Sol umon d liquor license to conduct q ruadhouse. or saloon, at Solomon on the grounds the court was satisfied Kenny while at Blun had been violat ing the liquor law. in the giving of liquor to all who wanted it.

 The judge informed Kenny he could make application to Judge Murane upon his return, for he understood conditions better than he. in this part of the territory.
 The decision of the judge does in no way prevent roadhouse keepers from providing their guests with free drinks when they come in off the trail cold and wet, the judge taking the view there is vast difference between such method of giving. and the case al bar. according to the testimony.

The island is two and half miles long, and one and one-half wide, and the climate is such everything can be raised there to eat, and it makes an ideal summer home.
 Forselles stopped for several days at Ruby on the way down and reports that mining camp has a future in a small way. that there is sufficient gold in sight to warrant the present town existing for some time. and unless ad- ditional finds are made the town will not be any larger than at present for

DISTRICT ATTORNEY
 WHITMAN IN ACTION

Attorney Whitman.
 Whitman went tO Newport tC spend the summer. and help throw the gamblers and police implicated in the graft off and give them chance to ply their work and fall into the trap being laid for them by Burns. The murder of Rosenthal took place five days ahead of schedule time, ac- cording to the report of Burns. and this was hastened by Rosenthal "squealing" to the newspaper. and in timating he was to make a clean breast of the whole affair. In fact De tective Burns had secured confess sion from him. Police Lieutenant Becker had gotten wind there was something in the air, and Rosenthal had to be gotten out of the way. He refused to leave the city. and for that reason he was murdered. The chain of evidence. thanks to Detective Burns is complete and all guilty will be brought to the bar of justice.
