MUST HALT EACH SIDE
PUBLIC RESERVATION
Change Ordered in Stopping of
Cars at Southeast Street
intersections.

A complaint filed with the District
electric railway commission by the East
Washington Citizens Association has re-
suited in the discontinuance of the prac-
tice of the Capital Traction Company in
having its cars stop in the center of the
reservation at 14th street and Pennsyl-
vania avenue southeast. The association
said that the stopping OF the cars at that
point required passengers to walk across
the reservation. on which there are no
foot walks. The matter was brought to
the attention of the railway company,
and the. motormen have been instructed
to stop their cars on each side before
the reservation is reached.

being in a position to guarantee that the

rotary Knox processes to be unable to
see what England is complaining about
In other than diplomatic language. he
thinks that England has gone off half

but that the act does not afiiX the tolls.
He charges them with ignoring the Presi-
dents proclamation, which he thinks puts
at rest practically all the fanciful in
juries that Sir Edward Grey thinks are
about to descend upon British shipping
He says their protest Is a protest more
against what may happen than against
what has happened He thinks Great
Britain is suing us because We have the
power to commit trespass against our
neighbor rather than because we have
committed such treSpass.
In concluding his reply to Sir Edward
Grey, Secretary Knox politely asked him
to wait until the act and the President )
proclamation do Indicate that they will

, When Secretary Of State Philander I.
Knox wrote the reply of this government
to the English notes protesting against
the Panama canal act he politely told
Sir Edward Grey that the British for
eign office displayed so little knowledge
of the. Presidents proclamation fixing
tolls on the canal that ne could scarcely
believe it had been read before Sir Ed
ward drafted his note of protest. This
was something of a case of tit for tat.
since Sir Edward had expressed the be-
lief in his note that President Taft had
not been able to catch the purport OF the
Innes note Such is the course of diplo-
matte indirecton. Mr.. Knox then re-
called the fact to the britsh foreign
minister that he had probably protested
before his country was hurt, since his
note was published the day after the
proclamation was issued, and therefore
seemingly before Great Britain could
have understood the effect of the Presl-
dents proclamation. Mr.. Knox informed
Sir Edward that the whole tenor of his
note was protest against what the
President might do rather than against
what he had done. He declared that since
it was evident that England had protest
ed without waiting to understand the
Presidents proclamation. the diplomatic
situation that Sir EDWARD was QlSCuSSlil6
was wholly different from the one now ex-
listing. Mr.. Knox In this tacitly ignored
the British contention that it was vio-
aton of the treaty to assume the right
to exempt American ships, whether the
exemption was actually made or not.
The three direct objections to the canal
act urged by the British government are
that it exempts coastwise traffic from
paying tolls: that 1t gives the President
power to discriminate against foreign
shipping. and that It gives the govern
,nent-owned vessels of the republic OF
Panama the right to use the canal free.
Taking up these objections in reverse Or
der. Secretary Knox expresses surprise
that England should drag Panama into
the matter. He says that the treaty
with the republic of Panama providing
for this toll exemption has been III effect
for decade. and that until now not q
syllable of protest has been heard. He
concludes that all the facts in the case
indicate that England does not want to
submit that matter to arbitration.
With reference to the allegation that
the canal act gives to the President the
right to fix tolls in way that would be
discriminatory against British shipping,
Secretary Knox advises England that il
will be time enough to consider this queS-
ton when the President takes such ac-
ton.

Coastwise Shipping
Exempted by Britain

| that in its first note it practically conced-
| ed the right of the United states to eN-
| empt its coastwise shipping from toll
! charges. when it said that if "the trade
should be regulated as to make it certain
that only bona fide coastwise traffic !"
| would be benefited by this exemption it
| may be that no objection could be taken
Secretary Knox then drives another argu-
| ment home by asking if the United States
| is to be denied the right to exempt such
| traffic simply because England has a sus-
picion or believes there is a possibility
| that the regulations yet to be framed
may not restrict this exemption to coast
wise traffic entirely.
The Grey note expresses the fear that
the United States will, in RENTING the
| tolls on coastwise business. assess the en-
tire charges of maintenance of the canal
upon vessels in the foreign trade and
thus cause them to bear an unequal bur-
den. To this Secretary Knox has replied
that the British government is far from
the facts. He shows that this coastwise
traffic was computed by Prof. Emory

will fall solely upon the United States.
He Furthermore calls Englands attention
to the fact that the treaty gives the
United States a right to charge. in the
very words Of Sir Edward Grey himself.

States 1.-The interest on the capital ex-
