England's Formal
Protest Presented

WASHINGTON, Dec. 10.-The formal
protest of Great Britain against that
section of the Panama canal act which
exempts American coastwise shipping
from payment of tolls for passing
through the Panama canal, written by
Sir Edward Grey British minister OF
foreign affairs, was presented to Secre-
tary of State Knox last night by the
British ambassador
James Bryce read the note word for
word to the secretary at the latter's
home. 1t is an elaboration of the points
of objection in the note presented to
the state department last July.
In brief, these objections are:
That while it was clearly in violation
of the Hay auncefote treaty either to
remit or to refuse tolls on all American
shipping using the canal, the same OBJ
lection probably would apply to the
coastwise trade shipping, in view of the
probable impossibility of foreign regu-
lations that would not result in a pref
erence to American shipping.
In addition to supporting these points
by long arguments, Sir Edward Grey
indicates clearly that strong resistance
will be offered to any attempt to eN-
clude from the canal British ships own
ed by Canadian railroads or whose
owners may be guilty Of violating the
sherman antitrust act. He holds that
this section Of the act can not apply TO
British shipping, but only to United
States vessels.
He also indicates in his note that I'M
DERIVING the objection to the exemption
from toll of American coastwise ships
is an apprehension that in the future
the principle might be extended to cover
American ships in foreign trade.
otherwise the note is devoted almost
entirely to an effort to demonstrate
that any such exemption Of American
shipping as is proposed is in direct con-
tliCt with the terms of the Hay Paunce-
fote treaty and that President Taft was
clearly wrong when he took the con-
trary view. Generally, the British note
might be summed up as a clear detini-
ton of the differences between the two
governments regarding the construction
of the Hay -Pauncefote treaty, winding
up with a proposal that the issues
should be settled by arbitration. pro-
VIded they can not be adjusted by mu-
lual agreement, for which a way re-

EAR-BEER TAX
IS LONG OVERDUE
Special Agent Named to Get
Behind Savannah Dealers
and Hasten Payment.

Governor Brown has appointed Will
liam c. Brown, of Savannah, special
agent of the state to collect the near
beer tax from Savannah beer dealers,
very little of which has so far been
RENTED to the state treasury. notwith-
standing the fact that it has been due
since January l.
The Savannah near beer dealers al
ways are backward about paying this
tax. Heretofore it has been necessary
to jog their memories in order to make
them come to time, but never before
have they been as late as they are this
year.
The law providing for the collec-
ton OF this tax makes it the duty of
the ordinaries of the counties to re-
ceive it, but provides no compensation
to them for the same. In many coun-
ties, therefore, the ordinaries make lit
tie or no effort to get the tax in hand,
and in Chatham county no effort at all
has been made, it appears
The state has had trouble collecting
this tax in a number of counties In
Bibb it was necessary to make eXtraor-
binary efforts to get it, and in Fulton
the governor had to call the attention
Of Solicitor Dorsey to deinquents in
order to make them pay up.
The governor has instructed his spe-
cial agent in Chatham to get right in
behind the tardy ones there, and make
them pay the tax, without favor imme-
diately.

PATENT OFFICE NOT
ADEQUATE TO NEEDS.
COM MITTEE SAYS

WASHINGTON, Dec. 10.-That the
United States patent office is wholly
inadequate for the efficient and eco
nomical transaction of business; that
the rooms are crowded and so poorly
lighted and ventilated as seriously to
threaten the health of the EMPLOYEES
working there, and that the provisions
for eNtiEguishing fire among the val
liable records are so Inadequate that a
slight blaze might at any time envelope
the entire building, was reported to
congress by the committee on economy
and efficiency, working under the Joint
resolution of August 81 last
The commission recommended to con-
Sress that an entire new building es-
pecially designed and equipped and fur
nished be constructed in the city for
the exclusive use Of the patent office
and that the force of employees be in
creased about Is per cent with an in
creased payroll of $236,5OO.
Delay in the securing of patents was
also severely censured by the commits
sion.
The fee for filing an application. said
the commission, should be increased
from SO to 500, which. it is estimated,
will increase the revenues of the pat
ent Office 100000.
Another important recommendation
was that the life of a patent be so linn
tied as to expire nineteen years from
the date Of filing the application ex-
GLIDING the time during which an ap-
plication may be in litigation.

AUGUSTA RAISES
NEAR-BEER TAX
Saloons To Be Restricted to Is,
With $500 License Fee for
Next Year.

AUGUSTA, GA. Dec 1O.-The
finance committee of city council has
fixed the near-b beer license for 1913 at
$500, The number of saloons will be
restricted to rs in the coming year The
present near-beer license is $500 and
there are about 100 saloons in the city.
There is practically no prohibition in
Augusta and a $500 near-beer license
means that whisky can be sold also. OF
course the city council and the whisky
dealers do not enter into any such
agreement but it is generally under
stood that those who pay the $500 are
running legalized places, whereas the
man who runs a grocery store and sells
a little whisky in the rear of his place
and does not pay the $500, is running
blind tiger"

Refine Davies, Prima Donna,

Ceutering her all in her profession is

tain her greatest success, a profession
al woman should have interests entire
ly foreign to her calling, she maintains
In this way and in this way alone can

her theory. She practices what she
breaches. In private life, she is Mrs.

inent and wealthy theatrical manager.
there naturally is no necessity for her
to work for a livelihood. She works
because she loves her profession.
But she does not allow her entire in
terest to rest in her home life and her
stage work Miss Davies is an ardent
advocate of outdoor life. She is famous
as horsewoman and riding is her prin-
Cipal diversion.
At the recent New York horse show
she was awarded twelve blue ribbons in
some of the most closely contested
classes
OF course she knows that beauty is a
stage asset. She knows, too, that a
healthy outdoor life is an aid to beauty.
but it is not for this that she practices
it. The mental relief that she gains
by the variety of her interests is the
thing sought for.
Before becoming prima donna of the
popular Madame Sherry" Miss Davies
scored pronounced hit in vaudeville.
