son, and predicted that rehabilitation
of the American merchant marine

adopted by the preceding congress re-
speoting tolls at the Panama Canal"
Senator Brady has visited the presi-
dent as also the chairman of the in
teroceanic canals committee in the in
terests of this legislation. He is a
strong believer in the free toll bill as
passed by the last congress, and it is
believed that on account of his prac-
teal knowledge and experience along
this line he will WELD an influence
when the matter comes before Con-
gress.
Upon the invitation of the National
Woman's Suffrage association, Rep
