Canal Toll Rates
Are Given to Public
by War Department
REGULATIONS FOLLOW CLOSELY
THOSE OF SUEZ CANAL
COMPANY.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 21.-The
rules covering the collection of tolls
using the Panama canal have been
formulated by the war department
and some of the features were made
public today.
The rate OF 81 20 per net vessel ton
were fixed by President TAFT last year,
net ton being one hundred cubic
feet of capacity available 70" passeng-
ers. or cargo. Ships without passeng-
ers or cargo are to be allowed re-
duction of forty per cent in the tolls
Warships other than transports, col
liers. hospital ships and supply ships
are to pay tolls upon their displace-
ment tonnage, that is upon their weight
rather than upon their capacity.
Two general principles controlled
in formulating the Panama tonnage
rules, that is. that the gross tonnage
of vessel should include the entire
closed-in capacity, and that the net
tonnage should correctly express the
actual space available for passengers
and carCo--the earning capacity. The
Suez Canal company's tonnage reguia-
tions are based on these principles.
and the Panma rules are nearer to
those Of the Suez company than to
the American, British, or ether ma
tional rules

VIII SONS POLICY

WASHINGTON, Nov. 2f.---Sir
George Paish. editor of the London
Statist. who has been in Washing
ton most of the week. sent dis
patch to his paper from Washing
ton today, saying:
81 am convinced that President
Wilson is pursuing strong, pa
tient and persistent policy In
Mexico, and that he will accom-
plish his purpose. His desire is not
conquest, nor is ne antagonistic to
foreign interests. He wishes to
promote the permanent welfare OF
the Mexican people, and to prevent
the repetition in other Central and
South American countries of acts
such as those recently witnessed in
Mexico.
Strong hopes are entertained
here that the Mexican people will
themselves reCtify the existing sit
uation. The American govern
mcnt will give ample opportunity
to the Mexican people to do SO.
"It Is believed here that the sit
uation In Mexico will shortly right
itself, either by the resignation Of
President Huerta. or by concerted
action by the Mexican people, or by
the successes of the constitutions
aIists, and that no active intervene
ton by the United States Will be-
come necessary" ---------------------

ESCAPES HUSBAND
BUT GOES TO JAIL

pretty young woman listened in Judge
Rossllsky's part of general sessions
today while three husbands told how
she, had married them, wearled of
them, and returned TO her father. each
time soon afterwards to contract an
other marriage. The first husband,
Edward j. Murphy, pleaded with the
Judge to be ienient with her. Hus-
band number two, Charles Vollaman,
appeared Indifferent to het fate, but
husband number three thought that
the Judge ,uldn't give her long
enough sentence. He was Samuel w,
Jones, a butcher, and he married the
young woman on February 10, 1903,
after he had known her three months.
She lived then with her father, and
Jones testified he had known her as
Miss Lulu Powers. and had not known
that she was married before.
Murphy pleaded for the SRI. saying
that her stay in jail had been punish
ment enough, but Judge Rosalsky SEN
fenced her to year in the peniten-
