Senator Root Delivers Vigorous Speech Regarding
 the Panama Canal Controversy
DECLARES FREE coAsTMsE TOLLS ILLEGAL
Unless Same Concessions Are Made to Foreign Ships 'thall We Inform the World That the United States h False Its Agreements and Pledged Word?" He Ass- Brandegee and Root Strong For Repeal.

Washington, Jan. 21.-"ShaH we in- form the world that the United States Is raise to its agreements, false to it's pledged word? Shall wesl1ave it made known the world over that you must look out for the United States or it will get the advantage of you? That it is astute, cunning. slippery"
 With this vigorous denunciation of the attitude of this country in the Panama canal controversy with Great Britain, Senator Root closed a two hour speech in the senate today with an appeal for the submission of the Panama question to arbitration, or to the repeal of that section of the canal law that would give free passage to American coastwise ships.
 6randegee Lines Up With Root.
 Speaking from the experience of a member of President Roosevelt's cab inet when the Panama zone was pur- chased and when over twenty-five ar bitration treaties were made with for eign nations, Senator Root delivered the most vigorous attack on the pres ent attitude of the United States that has been heard since the Panama con- troversy with Great Britain arose.
 It became known following the sen- ator's address that Senator Brandegee, chairman of the inter oceanic canal committee, will call a meeting in a few days to take up Senator Roots amend ment for the repeal of the free toll provision. Led by Senators Root and BFandegee, both Of whom opposed the original passage of this provision, a determined effort will be made at this session of congress to change the law before 1t goes into effect at the canal so that the cause of dispute with Great Britain will be removed.
 Free Tolls Are Illegal.
 Senator Root declared the United States would violate all of it's pledges and promises to the world; would be guilty of false pretenses'' in it's advo- caey of general arbitration and would proclaim itself indifferent to national honor and integrity if it refused to submit to arbitration or to retreat from the unjust. position it had taken.
 He declared free coastwise tolls to American ships were illegal, unless the same concessions were made to foreign ships. The claim that the United States had domestic rights over the canal because it owned the canal zone constituted a violation of the express guarantee of the United States to Great Britain, he said.
 Our Territory Only in Trust.
 'Tt is not our territory except in trust" he declared. Treaty or no treaty, we have long asserted that the nations of Central America had no right to debar the world from it's right

THE SLINGSRY BABY
 MYSTERY DEEPENS.
Conflicting Testimony Given Regarding
 infants Identity.

San Francisco, Jan. 21.-Conf1icting testimony given here today before the district attorney deepened the mystery in the SEngsby case, which hinges on the question of whether Mrs. Dorothy Slingsby, wife of Lieut.. Charles Slings- by, of the British navy. claimed as her own son of Lillian Anderson. An inheritance in England, said to have been left to the first male heir of the Slingsbys, is 8 feature of the case.
 Mrs. Amanda Koch, who was living with Mrs. Slingsby in the fall of 1910, swore in the hearing today that no child was born to Mrs Slingsby on Sept. 1, the edate of its announced birth.
 Dr. Martin Regensberger, president of the state board of health, testified he had attended Mrs. Slingsby just prior to that date, and that an heir was expected.
 Mrs O. H Bain declared Mrs. Slingsby had given birth to stillborn babe in her establishment on Aug. Is, two weeks earlier.
 Word came to the officials today that the Slingsbys, now in England, had taken steps to be represented in the hearing, and in the arraignment of having falsifed the birth certificate of the baby alleged to have been substt- tuted. Thay have also engaged detec- tives and are endeavoring to trace Lfl- liam Andersen.
 Lieutenant slinRsby has already come into possession of his own in herftance, q largo English estate, but the disposition of property valued at about half 8 million dollars vested in success of their attempt to establish his identity.

WILSON REFUSES TO
 DISPLACE REPUBLICAN
Turns Down Request of Delegation of
 Labor Men.

Trenton. N. J., Jan. 21.-Ef1ciency in public service and the merit system rather than partisan politics will be the basis upon which President-e elect Wilson will make his appointments to office, he indicated today.
 Governor Wilson had occasion to declare himself in this connection when a delegation of thirty men representing various labor interests made an earn est plea for the appointment of a democrat to fill the state commission ership of labor now held by a repub- 1ican.
 John T. Cosgrove, democrat and a labor leader. was urged for the po- sition to succeed Colonel Lewis T. Bryant the present incumbent who was appointed by republican govern or.
 The president elect told the delega- ton he recognized the force of their argument that labor should be repre- scented in the government by one who knew its interests. but he saw no reason to dispIace Colonel Bryant, who had performed his duties faithfully and efficiently.
 The coIloquy took place in the big anteroon just outside of the gov whG headed the delegation, remarked that Mir. Cosgrove's appointment might not be exactly acceptable to the man ufactUrers and employers.
 'Oh. class opposition does fot af- feet me one way or another" quickly interrupted the governor

Turkey Seeks
 Explanations
ADDRESSES NUMBER OF CUES
 TONS TO POWERS
DELAY REPLY TO VOTE
Desires to Have Powers Eluoidate Several Points Before Answer is Made to It-criticism of Europe.

London, Jan 21.-Turkey. before presenting her reply to the joint note of the powers, wishes to obtain expla- nations concerning certain passages in the note. Instructions to this effect have been sent to the Turkish ambas- sadors accredited to the powers. Rechad Pashas head of the Turkish peace plenipotentiaries, and Tewfk Pasha, ambassador to Great Britain. have been particularly enjoined to seek elucidation, as they are in London, where the note was prepared. Expla- nations are to be requested on the fol- lowing points:
 The Fate of constantinopIe.
 The joint note says that in case of the pro1ong gatfon of the war the fate of Constantfnople might be put in ques- tion. Does the note mean that the allies might be allowed to attack, con does it mean that the powers them selves might control the government in the Ottoman capital?
 Moral Support of Powers.
 The note speaks of the moral, ma terial and benevolent support" of the stand by that? How is this support to be extended; under what form. to what extent, what guarantee Is there of fulfllment of this promise?
 .Europe's Broken Faith"
 Similarly. what assurance do the powers Offer Tor the settlement of the question of the Aegean Islands in such a manner as to exclude further menace to the security of Turkey?
 It is stated that the Turkish dele- gates. in endeavoring to obtain satis- factory answers to these questions, have made reference to what they de- scribe as .fEurope's broken faith" in failing to live up to the promise made four months ago that the status quo would not be changed, whatever the result of the war.
 Diplomat Loses Patience.
 A distinguished diplomat, losing pa tience, has recommended them not to pretend to be more naive than they are. since the Turks know well that the statement of the European powers contemplated only a case in which the Ottoman arms were victorious, as in 1897, when Turkey defeated Greece, on which occasion Europe would not per- init a change in the status quo.

 AGAINST FREE MEAT
But All Texas Democrats Voted in
 Favor of It.

Washington, Jan. 21-'Free meat proposed by the house democrats at the last session of congress, but blocked by a presidential veto, was indicated as part of the extra session of congress tarfn revision programme at the hearing before the house com mfttee on ways and means today.
 Members of the committee empha- sized t%e majority sentiment in favor of free meats and a strong trend to- ward free cattle.
 Protest against putting cattle and meats on the free list was voiced by $. H. Cowan of Texas, spokesmanu for the cattle industry west of the Mis- sissippi river. He said free meat would mean a flood of cheaper meats from South America and ruin to the indus try in Texas.
 Didn't all the Texas democrats in the house vote for free meats last ses- sion ?' asked Representative James of Kentucky.
 Yes" said Mir. Cowan-
 And all of them were reelected?"
 Yes"
 Then you are going counter to the vote of a state"
 No" replied Mfr. Cowan, but the democrats in Texas always vote the democratic ticket regardless of such matters, their allegiance to the party being too strong to do otherwise
