Question Of Revenue.

Those Of us who advocated uniform
tolls rested our case largely on the
contention that the tolls would be
needed To operate the canal, TO prevent
operation and maintenance from be-
coming a charge on the Treasury. The
most Of those who advocated cxemp-
ton for the cOastwise trade professed
that If the government really needed
the tolls % operate the canal, then
they would not insist upon the eXemp-
ticn but they contendcd that there
would be a surplus Of tolls from other
vessels and that the exemption could
well be afforded considering the
plethora Of revenue.
on the other proposition, the adVo-
Yates Of uniform tolls. while it was
still domestic proposition and before
England had been heard from at all,
considered the treaty stipulations ana
sought 90 avoid violation Of them. The
advocates Of exemption, insisting that
there was no violation Of treaties, as
serted that they would not consent to
violate a treaty, and that if it really
was a violation Of "A treaty they would
not insist upon the exemption.
Their leading exponent on the hoor
Of the House suggested that the eX-
emption be made, and that, If Eng
land objected. a case be made for de-
termination at The Hague. Since that
exemption was made that gentleman

New York, June 5.-(Special)-A few
hours before he sailed to London to begin
his duties as ambassador at the court of
ST. James, Walter H. Page spoke briefly
to some of those who had met to give him
kindly wishes and parting greetings. Mr..
Page spoke as one having authority when
he said somewhat startlingly to his hear
ers, that in his opinion there were too
many American magazines, and that 1t
would be for the best if some of them
were given up.
Just before Mr.. Page sailed and, then,
again, shortly after his departure, there
were incidental proofs of the soundness
of his views Two publications which at
one time were very prosperous were sold,
one Of them to one publishing syndicate
and one of them TO another. And within
a few days announcement was made of
the retirement of Robert u. Johnson from
the editorship of one of the older and,
for many years, one of the most important
of American monthly magazines. 1t was
published especially for the cultivated. Mr.
johnson is to be succeeded by younger
man, and the probabilities are that rad
ical changes and reorganization will be
undertaken representing very different

This brought a reply from the adju-

been any discrimination. but that the
transfers were matters of office routine
but did not explain the fact that Bla-
locks chief of division had made re-
quest that he be retained permanently
in the regimental records, that his re-
quest had been approved by Mr. Frech
the chief clerk of the division, which
was also true as to Middleton.

and Elgin II. Blalock of Louisiana and
fellow clerks from Texas, have sue

Middleton is from Hamilton and in ad-
dition to being a clerk in the adjutant
generals office is a law student at
the University of Georgia, and will
graduate ON June 8. He is under the
civil service and has been a govern
ment clerk for three years. Middleton
is rather reluctant to talk of his case

mated against 1t appears that in
April, this year, he was with a number
of other clerks transferred from his

In October, last, Middleton, along
with Blalock and others, were trans
ferred from the Tenth street branch
to the regimental records division on
account of the increased work caused
by the passage of the Sherwood pension
bill. A few days ago when that work
lightened a number of clerks were
slated to again return to the dumping

mended by the chief of the division to
be retained and not included in that
number but the chief clerk put his
name, together with another white
clerk on the list to be returned, and
substituted the names of two negro
clerks ON the list to be retained.
Blalock suffered from the same treat
ment and appealed to Senator Thorn
ton and thereupon Senator Thornton
wrote to the adjutant general and ex-

WOMAN CARRIES
FIGHT TO COURTS

MONTGOMERY, June 5.-(Special MARY
p Robinson, heir of J. G. Crommelin, Sr.,
today filed a bill in chancery court to
break the settlement of a 100000 estate,
and to prove that misrepresentation was
used to get her to agree to division
which was not to her interest.
Crommelin died May IA. 1909, without
leaving will and John G.. Crommelin,
Jr was appointed administrator. The
property was divided among heirs several
months ago. Miss Robinsons petition al
leges that Crommelins division was not
fair and equitable and the court was asked
to set the settlement aside and admin
lister the estate. The Crommelin estate
consists of s2500Oo in real estate and
about $4,000 in personal property.
