one cold booded murder, a disembowelment, a suicide. seven or eight

THE FORMAL
PROTEST OF
The BRITISH
Is Filled Against the Panama
y Canal Bill g.. .
Freedom Of American Shipping
From Tolls Hurts
Question May Be Taken Before
the Hague Tribunal

Washington, Dec. 1O.-With the
formal presentation of Great Britain's
protest against the Panama canal bill,
Secretary Knox today began a careful
study of the objections raised by Sir
Edward Grey in the lengthy note
transmitted yesterday by Bryce. The
British minister of foreign affairs bas-
led his principal objection on the pro-
po5al to relieve all American shipping
empting it from charges or remitting
the tolls paid, and contends taht sec
ton Of the law violates the Hay
Pauncefoote treaty. He proposes that
the question be submitted, If no other
was is available, to the Hague for arr
bitration.
The question of how the matter may
be submitted to the Hague is now the
center of interest, the existing arbi-
tration treaty between the United
States and Britain expiring by limita-
ton next June. If the controversy is
delayed until then, there will be no
treaty under which dispute might be
arbttrated. In any case, a special
agreement, approved by the senate, is
necessary before the dispute can be re-
ferred to the Hague. Meanwhile, Knox
will prepare friendly note in reply
to Britain's message.
How Congress Feels,
Some official expressions prior to
the delivery of the British note affords
ground for a belief that while not
agreeing with the British contention
that the canal toll act is a violation
of the Hay -Pauncefoote treaty, the
administration is inclined to admit the
subject Is one over which there might
be a fair difference Of opinion. 1t is
known the president doesn't regard
the subject as effecting the vital
interests of the country, but rather as
of purely pecuniary consequence and
therefore not among the prohibited
subjects mentioned in the existing
special arbitration treaty with Britain.
Therefore while that result may not
be reported Immediately, 1t is probable
that finally, the administration will
hold the question clearly an arbitrable
one.
The next step will be to negotiate
with the British ambassador with
view to preparing draft of agree
ments specifying how the matter may
be arbitrated. which must go to the
senate for approval. 1t is said that
the president feels, that should the
senate withhold its approval, he would
have maintained record as con
sistent advocate of settling inter-
national disputes by arbitration.

e. j. Weiser, president of the as
sociation was in the chair and the
time, after the election was concluded
was spent in going over the work that
had been done by the association dur
ing the past season. The report of
the secretary, Thomas, Cooper showed
that great deal OF work had been
accomplished by the association and
these reports were discussed at length
and favorably passed on. The officers
or the association were commended
for the work they had done, and were
especially congratulated on the fact
that they were now busily engaged in

Mostly Routine Matters. ....-
At the noon hour the directors as
sembled in the private dining room of
the Pirie Co. and had a dinner, at
which the questions discussed in the
morning were continued. The future
was talked about to a, considerable
extent and it was decided that the
work during the coming season be
prosecuted even more strenuously If
possible than last season. The 1direc-
tors were all of one mind that the
work that had been done had been Of
inestimable value to the people of the
entire. state and to the farmers In
particular. The question of stock rails,
ing was discussed somewhat and 1t
was the unanimous sense Of the meet
ing that the farmers would get good
returns from the raising the stock and
they will likely be urged to begin this
work in earnest in the very near
future. The meeting was still In ses-

formal opening of the progressive
conference today Colonel Roosevelt
repeated his criticism of the act of the
supreme court of Idaho excluding the
names of progressive candidates and
presidential electors from the ballot
at the November election.
Not to have criticized the decision
for which several Boise editors who
quoted Roosevelt's platform have been
called for contempt, would have been
cowardly, the former president assert
ed. .... 81. .'.
''T hold the decision as outrageous
he said, "the court has within its
power, by inflicting sufficiently
heavy fine, to ruin the only paper in
Idaho with enough strength to hold
out against it."

party pay any fine inflicted and send
the best lawyers obtainable to Idaho
to fight the case"
Colonel Roosevelt sara the party
does not contemplate making terms
with the republican party as a party,
Regarding the leadership, he said
the events of tha next two years
could be trusted to develop the best
men who have been chosen without
difference to their own desires but
solely with their regard to the needs
of the people.
The progressive in congress and the
state legislatures urged the pushing
of progressive legislation. Colonel
Roosevelt congratulated the national
committee and other leaders "WhO ac-
complished so much in SO short a
time" "5

Lively Clashes Between Frew
and Untermyer

Washington, D. c., Dec. 1O-Lively
clashes between Walter Frew, presi-
dent of the Corn Exchange bank of
New York and president of the New
York Clearing House association, and
Samuel Untermyer, occurred at the
house money trust investigation today,
over the power which the clearing
houses exercised over the banks.
The witness declared he"didn't ad-
init the clearing house commission has
autocratic powers" and held a bank
could only temporarily be excluded
from the clearing house by the clear
ing committee and that body didn't
have the final decision as to it's ex
pulsion. Frew admitted a suspended
bank couldn't clear through another
clearing house bank
Then, if a bank is suspended there
is no way it can clear through another
! bank?p
"Rc, but a bank can carry on its
business without that privilege,' an
swered the witness.
Frew appeared in connection with
the inquiry to determine how great a
control is held by the clearing houses
at large in cities over a bank doing
business through them.
