carried the fight to the floor of the
convention.
The Allentown Shriners were
fortified with certified check for ten
thousand dollars to show their good
faith. They lost on the ground that to
establish new temple the consent Of
the mother temple is necessary, and
this consent the majority of the men,
bers Of Rajah Temple, of Reading, re-
fused to give.

ton Due To Suspension OF Rail-
road Service Brought Abou,
BY Revolution In Mexico.

Washington, d. C.-For the 6u
time in the world history Waterfront
traffic is now passing through the Pa,
ANA Canal.
AS matter of fact, according 10 n.
Panama Railroad reports, the serva
actually began May IL, and a stea,r
stream OF barges Is now passh,
through the canal.
The tremendous congestion IN lnts
oceanic commerce caused by susbe,
sion of service on the Tehuanteu|
railroad in Southern Mexico as an ln,,
dent to the rebellion brought about
this rather premature opening Of d,
canal to trade. Several of the ger
freight liners, which in conjunctIc
with the similar service on the Paclt,
maintained trade lines between EuroN
and the Far East via Tehuantepe
have recently appeared at Colon ah
Panama Offering cargoes for trans
shipment overland far beyond h|
capacity OF the Panama RAILROAD
Finding that Col. Goethals was wlllit,
10 assist them by clearing an adeQuat
channel for barges, at least throuh
the Cucharacha slide, the company
secured lot OF the barges that have
been used for harbor purposes al
Colon and Panama and established thI
service as an overflow to assist h,|
railroad In meeting the trade demand
Col. Goethals has not yet reported
to Washington just when the can,
will be opened to merchant shipping
but the understanding here ia that ths
waterway is practically finished and
that even now there is a sufficient
channel through the Culebra cut ir
almost any warshlp or liner, and that
il Is only from n desire to avoid a pol
sible serious accident through an uI
expected renewal OF the earth move
ments in the cut that Col. Goetheh
has determined to allow a period 70;
before actually ODeniH,
the canal.
1t is understood that this barge sen,
ice is to be operated on about y houn
schedule from the Atlantic 10 Tho
Pacific. which allows about an hours
delay in each Of the locks.

FOR COMPENSATION
ConstitutiOnaIists Flooded With
Claims For Indemnity.
FORCED LOANS MUST BE PAID
Tho Spanish Ambassador Asks Bryan
What Can Be Done For 300 Span
lards Elected From Torreon
BY Rebels.

Washington, d. CA phase OF the
complicated Mexican situation that at
tracts much attention in official circles
here was the embarrassment which
success brings to the Constitutionalists
in the form of demands for compensa'
tion for losses to foreigners within
their sphere of influence, which foreign
governments are pressing with increas'
ing force the further the Constitu-
tlonalists establish themselves as re-
sponsible masters Of Northern Mexico.
Spain takes particular interest in
this question of compensation, many
Spanish subjects having submitted
complaints against Carranza and his
subordinates for confiscation or de-
struction OF their property, forced
loans, Imprisonment or election from
the country.
The Spanish Ambassador called at
the State Department to see what
could be done for 500 Spaniards elected
by the Consututionalists from Tor
reon. He also has bill TO present for
$20,000,000 worth of Spanish-owned
cotton, alleged to have been condscated
by the Constitutionalists at Torreon.
Diplomatic and legal measures to
prevent the export and sale of the
confscated cotton are preparatory to
steps to secure either the return of
the cotton to the original owners or
payment for it. 1t was declared in
diplomatic quarters that no market for
this cotton could be found in Europe
even should the Constitutionalists at
tempt to export it from Tampico.
"Forced Loans"
Forced loans" levied upon foreign
ers in Mexico, furnish further occa-
sion for strong diplomatic representa-
tlons the nearer General Carranza
comes to establishing government to
which such representations can be ad-
dressed with prospects of success.
The case of William S. Benton, the
British subject killed at Juarez, also
looms threateningly on the Constitu-
tionalist horizon.
Though much interested here in the
sudden displacement of General Mas
in command of the Federal forces out
side of Vera Cruz the War Depart
ment has been unable to procure any
adequate explanation, and General
Funston reported that even at Vera
Cruz the reason for this change is un-
known.
