Resistance Promised.

in addition TO supporting these points
by long arguments. Earl Grey indicates
clearly that strong resistance will be
offered TO amy attempt to exclude from
the canal British ships owned by Cana
dian railroads or whose owners may be
guilty OF violating the Sherman anti
trust act. He holds that this section of
the act cannot apply to British shipping
but only TO United States vessels.
He indicates that underlying the OBJ
lection to the exemption from toll of
American cosstwise ships is an appre-
hension that in the future the principle
might be extended 10 cover American
ships in the foreign trade.
Otherwise the note is. devoted almost
entirely TO an effort to demonstrate that
any such exemption OF American ship

with the terms OF the Hay-Paucefote
treaty and that President Taft was clear

MONSTER GUN BLOWS
Up At SANDY HOOK
Fragments Hurled in All Di-
rections, but the Men Es-
cape Without Scratch.

NEW YORK, Dec. "a gun Of four
teen-inch caliber, of fifty tons weight,
the largest and newest type built by
the United States government, at q cost
OF $3.50. 000. exploded at the Sandy Hook
proving grounds today. While the eX
pIosion Of smaller guns has taken scores
of lives. the big fourtcen-inchcr blow to
pieces without causing 4 scratch to the
men around H.
The two-ton brecch block was blown
a quarter OF mile. tho muzZIe WAS
hurled stiil further away, and fragments
were spread In every direction, but ord
nance Officer Brennan, who was stand
Ing ON the temporary disappearing car
riacc. was not struck. although the
structure Itself was wrecked.
Brennan was thrown many yards. but
sustained hardly Il bruise, The other
officers and men in charge of the firing
were behind bomb proof wall which
protected them.
The big gun. which hurled Il proJectiic
weighing 1860 pounds at a range OF L.
600 yards, was successfully fired several
times in tests made last month and was
believed TO be in perfect condition. A
der is used.
When the lanyard was pulled today n
tremendous explosion followed and
broken pieces OF the gun were sent in
all directions. The muzzle was hurled
toward n railroad, where II ripped up a
large section of track.
Speculation as TO the cause Of the ac-
cident brought out the belief that the
sudden drop In the temperature had
some effect on the gun. Another re-
port was that the experiments made to-
day were to determine how large a
charge the gun would carry, Lieutenant
Colonel Babbitt who commanded the
firing. said the cause of the explosion
had not been determined,

Work in Secret.

The work OF the detectives has been
very secret and while it was known that
there were women detectives OF the Salt
Lake police force, their identity did not
become known until yesterday.
At the Hotel Utah last night the young
women admitted their identity when ac-
costed by Tribune reporter. They said
they had no objection 10 being inter
viewed. but said they did not want their
pictures published. lest the publication of
their photographs defeat their purpose in
detecting crime, since those violating the
law might recognize them from their pie
lures. They intend to remain in the city
and continue their work as at present.
