the newly liberated territory.
I'VE shall not discuss any of the
problems among the allies themselves,
raised by unforeseen developments Of the
war. until we secure for all together the
commonly earned fruits of victory. But
we will settle these problems amicably."
This is the sentiment Of other men,

ton Of European Turkey to a limited
area, a fair war indemnity and adjust
ment of the Turkish debt in Macedonia
favorable to the allies. and not only to
the financiers.

CANAL TOLLS IN SENATE
Poll Indicates Probable Ma
jority Against Arbitrating
the English Protest.

That the question Of discrimination
raised by the protest of Great Britain
against the granting of free tolls to coast
wise ships using the Panamt canal will
not be submitted to arbitration is pre-
dicted. es a result of pol of the Senate
which has recently been made.
A two-thirds vote Of the upper house
of Congress would be necessary to send
the quets;on to arbitration, and the poll
indicated that it is doubtful If even 4 ma
jority of the Senate would vote for arbi-
tration. OF the senators who have been
recorded in the poll. eighteen declared
themselves in favor of arbitration. thirty
against it and eighteen were non-comMit-
tai.
Suggestion of Repeal.
One settlement Of the question suggested
Is the repeal of the clause In the Panama
canal law providing for free tolls for
coastwise shipping. That would require
only a majority vote. But the Senate Is
at present made up practically as 1t was
when the clause was inserted in the law.
and there is no probability that the
senators will back water in the face OF
the British protest. What the next SEN
ate may do is q question, as a good many
new senators will then be on its voting
rolls.

tee chairman, and the final announcement

F. McCembs of the democratic national

tiOnal information in regard to the chair
manship had been received today. John F.

w. V. Cox for the place.
The friends Of Robert n. Harper, the
other leading candidate for the position,
are using today to get in final word in
his support.
Henry E. Davis, whose name has been
mentioned as a possible appointee as
chairman of the inaugural committee, to-
day emphatically denied that he was in
the race for the Office. He said:
ST am not now, and never have been, a
candidate or aspirant for the place, and if
my name has been mentioned to Mr.. Nc
Combs for the craftsmanship it is without
my knowledge or my approval"
President Taft's Joke.
Mr.. Costello made friendly call with
Representative Dyer of st. Louis upon
President Taft today. He did not discuss
the inaugural craftsmanship or other Local
affairs. He is to see the President next
week on these matters.
Costello said the President with a
smile, IF you democrats do not make any
more progress in filing offices after
March than you have in selecting a
chairman of the inaugural committee
most of the republicans now in office will
hold on for another four years"
Mr.. Costello had to agree that it did
look somewhat that way.

LITTLE KNOWN TO AMERICANS
Declared to Be Native of Pennsyl-

Married to Chilean.

PARIS, December 14.-Further compli-
cations have developed in the sensational
shooting affair of Thursday night, in
which Mrs Barnes, an American woman,
and Walter Mumm, the well known
French sportsman, were the principals.
Mumm, it appears from the police COM
missary's report, attacked the woman
during violent quarrel and kicked her
in the face and neck. Whether he fired
at her has not yet been established, but
she was so badly injured that four doc
tors were called by the servants in the
house and they attended her for an hour
after Mumm's departure.
Within a short time after the physi-
clans had left a man called at the fiat,
and. with the cook, who was the sole
witness OF the shooting, helped Mrs.
Barnes down the servants stairway into
an automobile.
Mrs Barnes, the man and her cook
then drove off, and no trace of them has
since been found by the police, who be-
lieve she was driven to a sanitarium I'M
Paris or its envirOns. They are search
ing all these establishments systemat-
ically.
