PANAMA CANAL BILL
IS SIGNED BY TAFT
President Still Questions Pos
sibility That Treaty Has
Been Violated.

Washington, d. c., Aug. 27.-Prest-
dent Taft signed the Panama canal bill
at Z p. m Saturday night. Following
this he sent to congress a memoran-
dun suggesting the advisability of the
passage of a resolution which would
declare that this measure was not
considered by this government a viola
ton of the treaty provisions regarding
the canal.
In discussing the British protest
against the exemption of American
shipping from the payment of tolls for
the use of the canal, Mr.. Taft says
the irresistible conclusion to be drawn
from 1t is that although the United
States owns, controls and has paid for
the canal, it is restricted by the treaty
from aiding its own In the
way that all the other nations of the
world may freely do"
In view Of the fact Mr.. Taft con-
tinues, that the anama canal Is be-
ing constructed by the United States
wholly al its own cost, upon territory
ceded to it by the republic of Panama
for that purpose, and that unless 1t
has restricted itself. the United States
enjoys absolute rights of ownership
and control. including the right to al
low its own m the use of the
canal on the terms 1t sees fit. The
whole question is: Has the United
States (by terms of the H~ay-Paunce-
fote treaty. deprived itself of the ex
ercise of the right to pass it's own com
merce free or to remit tolls collected
for the use of the canal?"

CONCERNS
MUST STAND TRIAL
Court Rules Against Adams
and American Companies In
Government Suit.

Washington, D. c., Aug. 26.-The
Adams and American Express compan-
les, Indicted for violations OF the inter
state act, must face trial.
There is nc escape through pleading
that they are not corporations or com
panies within the meaning of the law.
That, in effect was the decision of Fed
eral Judge Hazel at Buffalo in an
opinion today in the case begun by h
Interstate Commerce commission
against the two companies alleging
o~vercharge and granting unlawful con
cession.
Very recently Judge Hollister, in the
United States district court at Cincin-
natl ordered u similar indictment
against the Adams company quashed,
because, he held, the company, being
merely a stock company and not a cor
poration could not be indicted. He
held that 1t would be necessary for the
Interstate Commerce commission to Sc
cure the Indictment Of individual stock
holders in order to maintain a case in
court. The commission realized that
such a proceeding would be impractic-
able.
Judge Hazel held that the indict-
ments brought at Buffalo We're sound,
because, in law, the express companies
are legal entities and i%ndictable as
such under the interstate
act. The commission will press the
case.
