STlMS0N SAYS CANAL
REBATES ARE LEGAL

WASHINGTON. ID. G., Feb. 12.-"I
have no doubts, as a question of law"
said Secretary Stimson before the
House Interstate Commerce Commits
sion today, that under the Hay
Pauncefote treaty the United States
could make from its treasury to Amer
lean ships any repayment of tolls that
II saw fit.
whether we could discriminate in
favor of American ships directly is an
other question. 1t all involves a ques-
ton Of national policy. My opinion IL
that the first method would be the
safer"
In this manner Secretary Stimson
dismissed the question of American
preferment In Panama Canal tolls be-
fore the committee. Stimson urged
modest tolls, declaring the first pur-
pose of the canal was the deN eopment
of commerce and that the reimburse
ment fot cost of construction should
he deferred.
Stimson said, as to provisions to pre-
vent the sitting of competition in
transportation rates by n combination
of shipping interests using the canal,
that he would leave such matters with
the President rather than Congress.
The Interstate Commerce Commission.
with broadened powers to cover coast
wise traffic, he declared, could meet
the situation.
Stmson said he would keep legisla-
tlon for the encouragement of Ameri-
can shipping apart from Panama Canal
legislation and would not operate gov
eminent owned steamships to the ca
nal, The pressure brought to bear by
the country for lower rates II the gov
eminent operated the steamships would

FRIENDS IGNORANT OF
AMUNDSEN'S MOVEMENTS

CHRISTIANIA, Mar. i.-Some light
was thrown on the secret South Pole
explorations Of Captain Amundsen.
who Is racing for the honor Of first
discovering the southern pole with
Captain Scott of England. when
Borchgrevink. the well-known antarc-
tic explorer. today discussed the sub
jcct Mt length, averring that Amund-
sen may have already discovered the
pole and continued past the pole and
across the continent toward Weddells
Bay. Borchgrcvink stated that news
Of the expedition could be expected
within the very near future. perhaps
within few days.
The Fran has gone to fetch Am
undsen," continued Borchgrevink. but
nobody knows what direction It has
taken. If the vessel proceeded to Rose
Bay, Amundsen has obviously returned
the way he went and the first telc-
grams from him may be expected from
New Zealand.
ION the other hand, If he crossed
the great white continent from Rose
Bay to Weddells Bay, the first news
of him will come from South America
or the Sandwich Islands.
Il am ignorant Of Amundsen's plans,
but hope that he has continued on to
Weddells Bay. for the crossing OF this
continent Is. In my opinion, practically
the most important geographical task
there Is left today"

WHO WILL INVESTIGATES TIM
MAYOR:

HAHTH reference to the power Of
\ W the mayor, under the proposed
new charter. to interfere with the
duties and suspend other elective
oficcrs Of the city. Il would bs we'll
for the voters to read both sections
10 and II. 40 that they will be able
to Judge Of the extent Of this power.
Section lo.--The mayor may nj
any time. with or without notice. In.
vsstiGatc In person or through one
or more competent persons appointed
BY him foe the purpose. the oalces
and accounts Of any department Of
the city or Of any employee. and the
oficlal acts and conduct Of any ON.
cial or employee In the administrative
servico Of the city. and the money. 90
curities and property belonging to the
city In the possession or charge Of
such department. ofdcsr or employee.
Section 1.-The mayor shall have
power to suspend. pending an oficiai

but the mayor ID not the proper man
to mako such IN investigation. or to
whom should be given the power Of
suspension. The only proper body to
order an Investigation 10 the city
council. The members OF that body
are the ones who should be given the
power to investigate any once at any
time. and also to suspend any oflicer.
even Including the mayor. pending
such oficial Investigation. II Il should
b deemed necessary.
II can readily BE- seen that . mayor
who might BE- sntagonistic to the po-
lice Judge. could so humiliate that
ofhcer - to force him to resign. and
would thereby b permitted to all this
important elective once with some
particular friend. On the other hand
. mayor and police Judge. II they
were 20 disposed. could 20 combine
that they could work great injury to
the city. Experience In other cities
where too much power is placed IN
the hands Of one or two men has re-
suited In hundreds OF cities. you
might say. In great loss BY graft. We
are unable to nnd anything In the
new charter that would permit the
people Of the city or the city council
from questioning the acts Of the
o6ciab or making an investiGatton Of
their records and books.
