London, April 15.-The report sent by

the United States on the results of a
recent conversation with President VIII
son foreshadows it is said a favorable
termination of the controversy between
the two countries over the question of

The Manchester Guardian under

question.
Washington, April 15.-Although
President Wilson has never expressed
himself publicly on the question OF
Panama canal tolls he has informally
indicated to his friends that he be-
lieves in an Interpretation of the treaty
which would make it improper for the
United States to exempt vessels In the
coastwise traffic. He is also under
stood to take the position that the eX-
emption as now proposed is In erect
a subsidy, and he has always been op-
posed to subsidies. The report that the
president has intimated to Ambassador
Price that the settlement of the queS-
ton would be favorable to Great Brit
ain generally is credited in official cir
cles because it is thought Mr.. wilson's 8

ambassador would account for their

lust before Mr. Bryce's departure,
though Mr.. Wilson has been urged not
to give formal expression to his views
until the tariff is disposed of in the
present session of congress.
Mr. Wilson is said to realize that
the tolls question might, if brought up
at present, divide the Democrat ma
jority and cause embarrassment to the
tariff question which he regards as
paramount.
The inference drawn from the Lon
don report is that the president has
seen fit to indicate informally to Eng
land that a favorable adjustment Will
be forthcoming so as to forestaH early
from Great Britain
and so that the British government
might understand fully the strategic
reason for temporary delay.

KILLS 4 Chill LDREN
CraZed Father Then Turns Gun
on Himself.
Effort to Escape Futile
BrOOded Over Health.

Fitchburg, Mass, April 15.-Ernest
Moschner, a laborer, 35 years old,
called his four children to his bed
room from the yard. where they were
playing late yesterday afternoon, lined
them up before the bad and, draw
ing a 32 caliber revolver, shot Elsie,
IL years old, dead.
From the appearance of the room,
it is believed the other three children
fled Ernest, 6 years old, the young
est child, was found 1ifeless on the
floor of a closet in the front room
on the same floor.
Myrtle, aged IL, and Norman, s
years old, ran down stairs. There
Myrtle sought vain refuge in a closet,
but the maddened fathers unerring g
aim brought her down just as she
stumbled over the threshold.
Norman, the older boy, was found
in the coal bin, his torn clothes and
blood-spattered club beside him,
giving mute evidence of a brave, but
futile struggle.
Moschner then retraced his steps,
first covering up Norman's body with
rags and boards. Hating at the
closet on the first floor, he covered
MyrtIe's body. Then entering his bed
room, he drew a sheet over Elsie's
form and standing beside her, sent a
bullet into his brain, causing instant
death.
Two hours later Mrs. Moschner re-
turned home from work. Missing the
sound of the children's voices and no
ticing the overturned furniture, she
rushed up stairs to her husbands
room and found his body and Elsie's.
She fell in a faint and when she re-
covered ran shrieking out of the
house.
Moschner, the police learned, up to
a short time ago had been a tuber-
culosis patient at the state hospital.
When his health broke down he
bought a delivery wagon and deliv-
cred bakery goods. When he grew
too weak for this work, his wife took

FOR OPENING DAY
Governor and Mayor Battery
for Topeka.
State House, City Hall and
Stores and Offices to Close.

The Topeka baseball season opens
Friday, April Is, with the Denver game
Governor George H. Hodges will pitch
the first ball and Mayor r. L. Cofran
will receive it. A half holiday has
been proclaimed at the state house
and the city hall. Merchants will be
asked to close at 2:30 in the afternoon,
and the game will be called at 3. 1t
is probable that the Santa Fe offices
will close. Spring is here, and the
great American game is on.
Governor Hodges is an enthusiastic
fannie played on the Olathe nine fiji
teen years ago, has a strong arm, and
will give Mayor Cofran a swift throw.
The mayor admits a latent liking for
the sport, but was dubious about clos
ing the city building. When he was
made to understand that April IS IS
a red letter day, and that the citizens
of Topeka wish to observe it as SUCH
he consented to proclaim a half holiday
City employees received the announce
ment with a cheerful grin. The mayor
is going to try to catch the ball that
Governor Hodges throws, and will
probably joy it.
The state house and the city nall
are expected to be dark and deserted
on Friday. Those who don't go to gee
the game will go to see the governors s
pitch. Banks will close, dry goods
shops, and groceries. Everyone's going
to the ball game.
An innovation at the games this
season is to be the selling of score
books for five cents a copy. This is
done in the larger league cities. There
will be no bulletin board with lineup.
Each score book will contain complete
lineup, also number either in an ad-
vertisement or blank page. After the
fifth inning the umpire will draw four
numbers from a hat; the spectators
holding the lucky figures will receive
a free ticket to the next game. New
books will be on hand for every series
