FOREIGN SHIPS PERMITTED
TO CARRY CANAL MATERIAL

WASHINGTON, Nov. 23.-With a de-
lay of nearly a year in the completion
of the Panama canal in prospect unless
foreign vessels are allowed to CON
to the canal zone. the interstate com
merce commission has decided to mod
ify it's recent administrative ruling that
shipments destined from points in the
United States to Porto Rico, the canal
zone or the Philippine islands are
coastwise shipments"
The precise terms of the modified
order are not yet available, but they
will amount practically to a withdraw
al Of the order.
The original ruling of the commits
sion was recognized as of vital i'm
portance to vessel owners throughout
the world. Under the status of this
country, coastwise shipping may be
carried only in American vessels. The
commerce between the United States
and the canal zone, Porto Rico and
the Philippines now is carried largely
by vessels flying foreign flags.
BY the terms of the commissions
ruling shipments to the territories
named could be carried only in Amer
lean ships. The ruling was hailed joy
ously by American shipbuilders, one
of whom informed the commission that
it would mean the doubling Of the
capacity of his ship yard
The government itself however, and
particularly the isthmian canal COM
mission. was thrown into a commo-
ton by the ruling. The matter was
presented Immediately to the comims-
sion with the statement that the rul-
ing. if 1t should stand, would be
heavy blow to the construction of the
canal. delaying its completion probably

WOULD BAR JAPANESE:
FROM OWNING PROPERTY

SACRAMENTO. Nov. 2S.-The first
note Of what may become a statewide
owning property in California was
sounded in the meeting of the eXecu-
tive committee Of the northern dis
trict of California Women's Clubs.
It is the first rumble of the ap-
preaching storm that is sure to break
at the next session of the legislature
when pressure will be brought to bear
to have the state of California carry
through the laws against .orientals
which were squelched in the legisfa :
ture of 1909.
Mrs. J. Henry Miller pointed out
the growth of the Japanese. their tao
tics of gobbling up property cheap by
first lowering its price by their pres
ence, and spoke of their standards of
living that forever bar them from
equal association with Caucasian races.
She told how Japanese had ap-
preached her with an exceedingly large
offer for her residence and explained
its size by stating that surrounding
property would drop in value as soon
as Japanese took possession of her
house. His offer was refused.
Delegate after delegate sanctioned
the views of Mrs Miller. The exec
utive committee was undecided wheth-
er il would be better to make an eff
fort to have such laws passed by the
Legislature or by congress. The wo-
men have not investigated the legal
phases Of the proposed movement

cotton vast mostly of a professional
character, but the volume of business
was enormous. 1t is said that Pell
during the past few days has liquidat-
ed a large long line and that various
other smaller interests have sold out
and that a prominent operator backed
by a large firm has sold short from
11a cents up. McFadden is credited
with having bought the greater pOr
ton of this cotton, partly for account
of spiners, and for this reason it is be-
lieved that shorts will experience
great difficulty in covering, except at
higher prices The name of James A.
Patton was also connected with the
buying, but nothing definite could be
ascertained. Trade in textiles was
never better and manufacturers are
unable to fill orders for goods at the
highest prices in number of years.

keeping well up to last year, when

LAFoLLET.rE HAS MUCH TO LEARN

; The Star Is disappointed in Senator
LaFoliette. 1t had always believed
him to be a progressive man with
ideas of national broadness in their
scope. IL his speech at Saginaw was
correctly reported. he is twenty years
behind the leaders OF his party. Of
the South he Is reported to have said:
IT don't know of any progressive
sentiment sor any progressive legisla-
fion in the South, and the strength of
the democratic party Is In the South.
ALI the strength OF the party in the
South IS the aristocracy. The Southern
democrat despises. alike the poor
white and the negro and that is not
the sentiment that makes for popular
government"
If Mr.. LaFollette spoke from ignor-
ance, he doesn't know enough to be
president OF the United States. If he
spoke from prejudice he Is too narrow
minded for the office. No such talk
has emanated from a republican pres
fdent in twenty years. Mckinley,
Roosevelt, Taft, all knew better, and
for any such a remark we have to go
clear back to Harrison, who the whole
nation repudiated IN 1892.

"THE THIRD DEGREE"
TOOK WELL. IN TAMPA

The Tampa Tribune of Tuesday
says of THE Third Degree" which
will be played at the Temple Satur-
day night, Jan. 10:
Tampans who went to the Tampa
Bay Casino last night had the salts
faction of seeing one of the notable
plays of American dramatic literature
presented by one of the most capable
companies visiting this city in years.
The Third Degree one of the noted
productions Of that master of modern
playwriting, Charles Klein, and hard
ly secondary in it's merit and popu-
larity to his other works, THE Lion
and the Mouse" and Warfield's famous
success, 1.-The Music Master" was the
play, and the company presenting it
justified the good things that have
been said of it by the press of the
country. The play deals largely with
police methods in the larger cities of
the United States, and the glimpses ii
gives of life among the officially and
commercially powerful of New York
City are rivaled in verify and interest
only by the strong situations Of Mr..
Klein's other great dramas Of con-
temporary date.
The plot is one that enchains the at
tention of the audience from first to
final curtain, and there are tense
moments when one fairly gasps with
establishment at the portrayal Of hui
man emotions which are so faithfully
depicted that it is difficult to believe
them other than real.
Every role is well allotted, and In
Messrs. Wells and Sprague and Misses
Ida Root Gordon and Grace Lord, the
company has a quartet of players who
rise to every demand of their exact
ing parts. The unfortunate freak OF
the weather, which gave Tampa g
rather gloomy Introduction to the
new year, deprived this excellent at
traction Of the liberal patronage tina
was its due, but it has the satisfaction
of knowing that there was not dis
satisfied patron in the house

SENSIBLE SUGGESTION
FOR SOMEBODY

We venture to suggest TO the ocala
Star In a very sincere and brotherly
spirit that reduction of the tariff does
not necessarily or even probably mean
that the receipts of the treasury will
be thereby lessened. The Income OF
the treasury depends upon the money
value or the quantity of dutiable arti-
cles imported. A reduction of the tar
IN would theoretically increase the
value and quality of the imports

The above is a very proper and SEN
sible suggestion. but just why the
Times made ii to the Star We are una
BILE TO understand. The Star has fav-
ored. q reduction of the tariff ever
since its first issue.
