Appears at Hot Springs Sunday
With Head of Militia to
Stop Violations.

Western Newspaper Union News Service
Hot Springs, twithstanding
the serious protest made by the State
Baptist Association to prevent auto
races being held on the 0aklawn track
here Sunday and the presence OF Gov
ernor George w. Donaghey and Gen.
B. w. Green head of the state militia,
who made a hurried trip from Little
Rock to see that the law was enforc-
ed, the program was carried out in
full.
No admission was charged for the
races, and the fact that there was a
free gate lost the State Fair Associa-
ton, which had contracted with the
American Automobile Association to
told races. very Yearly $4,000. Short
ly before the first event started Off
Gals of the fair association made an
nouncement in all parts of the
grounds, requesting those present to
contribute the amount they would have
paid had an admission been charged.
A committee of 20 well-known citizens
took up collection, and close to ST.
| NOu WAS itdliAtu Ill THIS HittHAti'
When Governor Donaghey declared
no admission could be charged many
/ thought the races were off. Hundreds
of persons had come from Little Rock.
/ Pine Bluff. England, Conway, Malvern
and surrounding towns. and a majority
of these returned 10 their homes on
the Rock Island train leaving here at
1870. Governor Donaghey also left on
the same train. When he reached
Hot Springs he sent for officials of
the State Fair Association and inform
ed them that he would stop the races
If an admission were charged. There
is no law to prevent racing when the
events are free. The governor said
he would have prevented the races
altogether had he been possessed of
authority.
News that Governor Donaghey and
General Green had arrived from Little
Rock To stop the races soon spread TO
all parts OF the city and caused the
greatest excitement. The chief eXeeu-
tive was bitterly condemned by many
for his interference. 1t was declared
that Governor DonaEhey had been
given a wrong impression of the state
fair in the telegram sent by the Bap-
fist convention.

New York. - Governor Woodrow
Wilson announced that Immediately
after his Inauguration as president oi
the United States ne would cal an eX.
traordinary session of Congress to

ment follows:
Il shall call Congress together in
extraordinary session rot later Than
April -. shall do this not only be.

further 10 say. Most OF the opinions
he had received from public mon
seemed TO be in favor of an extra
session. he declared.
The governor did not intend to cx.
press himself about an extra session
SO soon after his election. Although
he has favored the idea of an extra
session because the present arrange.
ment would not bring the new Con.
gress into session until l3 months
after its election he had expected to
spend more time in ascertaining pub.
lie opinion. With the time to be con.
sumed in discussion the governor felt
that If an extra session were not
called, the benefits of tariff revision
would be postponed for practically
Two years. Throughout the campaign
he reiterated that he desired an i'm.
mediate revision of the tariff and thar
the Democratic leaders knew perfect.
~ well how to proceed about il.
The governor was impressed b. the
argument also that with an earE an.
nouncement as to an extra session
Democratic leaders in Congress could
begin TO take counsel at an carly
date, so that much of the preliminary
detail could be worked out before
Congress convened on April 10.

RATES FOR CANAL
ARE ESTABLISHED
President Taft Issues Procla-

test Is ignored.

Western Newspaper Union News Service.
ashington.-Pr Taft has is
sued proclamation fixing the rates
that the foreign shipping of the
world shall pay for passage through
the Panama canal. The proclamation.
made under authority of the canal
act passed by Congress in August, es-
tablishes a merchant vessel rate OF
Sl.20 per ton of actual carrying ca
racitv, with a reduction of 40 per
cent on ships in ballast.
The provisions of the proclamation
are as follows:
/. On merchant vessels carrying
passengers or cargo, $1.20 per net yes.
sci ton-each 100 cubic feet-of &C
tual carrying capacity.
2. On vessels in ballast without
passengers or cargo. 40 per cent less
than the rate of tolls for vessels with
passengers or cargo.
8. Upon naval vessels other than
transports. golfers, hospital ships and
supply ships, 80 cents per displace.

4. Upon army and navy trans
port, GOLFERS. hospital ships and sup
ply ships. $l.20 per net ton. the yes
sells to be measured by the same rules
as are employed in determining the
net tonnage of merchant vessels
THE secretary of war will pre-
pare and prescribe such rules for the
measurement of vessels and such
regulations as may be necessary and
proper TO carry this proclamation into
full force and effect,
American eoastwise shipping was
exempted from toll payments by
Congress. 1t was TO this provision
of the act that Great Britain diplo-
maticaly protested. No reference to
the incident was made in the presi-
dents proclamation.
American naval vessels are exempt
ed without specific mention, esther in
the act of Congress or the proclama-
ton, because the authorities believed
ii unnecessary to explain the useless
ness of payment from its Navy De
partment pocket to the one belonging
to the Treasury Department The
rates named are practically the same
as will be in force at the Suez canal
next year.
The report shows that n foreign
traffic of about 5000 600 tons may be
expected through the canal during
the first two years OF operation, a
traffic of more than 100000 tons in
1921. and 100000 tons in 1925. Pro
fessor Johnson estimated that an in
crease OF so per cent decade IN ten
mage could he expected, making the
canal selfsupporing in twenty years.
