CANAL TOLLS
MAY GO TO WILSON
Washington SpecuIates Upon
Outcome of Knox Note.
HAY-P CEFOTE PACT.
Pointed Out That British Protest
Was Premature and Is Based
On Supposed Not
Real Actions.

Washington. Whether the Panama
Canal tolls dispute with Great Britain
shall be heritage Of the Taft adj
ministration to President-e Will
son is the principal topic of discus
ton among diplomatists here. 1t was
admitted that the Knox rejoinder to
Sir Edward Grey's note of protest
would probably require the inter-
change of at least two or three adj
ditional notes.
The Hay-Pauncefote treaty which is
the basis for Great Britain's objections
to the free tolls for American coast
wise vessels granted in the Panama
bill expires June A. Great Britain's
attitude is that the actions complained
of occurred during the tenure Of the
treaty and their settlement need not
take place before actual termination
of the pact.
The Knox note clarifies the situa-
ton by limiting future interchanges
to these points that the British pro-
test was premature, being based on
hypothetical Interpretation of the Pan
anna bill; that the Presidents procla-
nation fixing rates, promulgated after
the British note was prepared, does
not meet these hypothetical objections
and that it does not violate the
treaty.
It was pointed out that President
Taft might submit to Great Britain
for ratification the amended arbitra-
ton treaty approved by the Senate.
but which he has not yet submitted
to Ambassador Bryce. Such prefer
is directly made in the Kncx note,
together with new diplomatic plan
for referencesof the whole controversy
to- a joint commission of inquiry.

ALFONSO eREETs WILSON.
A Message OF Good Will Through
Marques Inclan.

Trenton, N. J.-Preside Will
son received personal greetings from
the King Of Spain through the.
Marques de La Vega Inclan, the royal
commissioner, delegate to select
site for the Spanish exhibit at the.
Panama Exposition at San Erapc 60.
1t was the first message Mr. Wilson
has received from an European ruler.
The envoy, besides conveying to the
Presidents the Kings personal
message of good will, expressed in be-
half of the King deep interest in the
exposition at San Francisco. He told.
the Governor that Spain had been
planning similar exposition for the
same year, but now intended to post
pone her worlds fair until 1918.
The President-elect inquired if it
were true that King Alfonso would
visit the United States soon and
learned that the laws and customs OF
Spain made it practically Impossible
for its monarch to leave the country
for any length of time.

WOMEN DECLARE
WAR TO THE knife
Militant suffragettes Are Anger
ed by Defeat.
TREACHERYIS CHAR GED.
Decision BY the Speaker OF the
House Of Commons Moves the
Prime Minister To Withdraw
the Franchise Bill.

London. England is on the brink
Of another campaign by the suffraget-
ties in comparison with which former
outbreaks Of the militant women wiz
appear insignificant.
The women believe that the poll
ticians have played carefully studied
trick upon them, and the decision Of
the government to drop the franchise
bill is likely to entail serious conse-
quences.
In the House Of Commons the
Speaker, Right Hon. James William
Lowther. in response to an inquiry by
the Prime Minister, announced that IL
any Of the amendments to the fran
chise bill giving women the vote
should be adopted, he would be>obliged
to rule that they made it substantially
new bill. which would compel its
withdrawal.
Mr.. Asquith thereupon announced
that the Cabinet had decided that
under such circumstances it would be
useless to proceed This was an
nounced to crowded house, which
displayed more interest in the subject
than had been shown in the last,
stages Of the Home Rule bill
The Premier repudiated the sug-
gestion that the government had been
guilty Of sharp practice regarding the
question of woman suffrage. He de-
clared the members of the Cabinet had
honestly endeavored to carry out their
pledge to challenge a decision from
the House. The government, he con
tinued, had now pledged itself to give
to woman suffrage bill introduced
by private member next session the
same facilities as 1t had given to the
controversial government measure,
allowing members complete freedom
to vote in accordance with their indi-
vidual predictions

Never the Ike Of mozart

In an account of Mozart night
arranged by the members OF musical
organization in Dresden. the writer de-
parted from comment on the various
performers to say this Of the COM
poser:
He died at thirty-six, 100 years ago.
and the world has never seen his like.
From babyhood until the life fame
was extinguished Mozart's thoughts
were only of music. He was lust
past his fourth birthday when he re-
ceived his first lesson from his father,
and two years later he composed short
pieces. and two years later played his
own sonatas on the organ in x the
Chapel Royal, London. When his first
opera was produced Mozart was not
vet fifteen years old His genius ex-
cited wonder, admiration and audula-
ton; but, frail in body. melancholy
and in constant fear of death, he was
never happy"

0METH|NG THAT
NOBODY KNOWS
Who Is Going to Be in President
Wilson's Cabinet.
GREAT PUZZLE or THE DAY.
Mrs. Wilson Asks Question, Indicat-
ing That She Is lnquisi-
tive, But IN
the Dark.

New York. Here is the real posi-
tive truth about President-elect VIII
sons cabinet. National Chairman
William F. McCombs doesn't know
who's going to be in it.
Vice. Chairman William G. McAdoo
doesn't know
Joseph H. Tumulty. the Governors
secretary, doesn't know.
Dudley Field Malone, his closest
personal friend, doesn't know.
United States Senator-elect William
Hughes, of New Jersey, doesn't know.
William J. Bryan doesn't know.
Mrs. Woodrow Wilson, his wife,
doesn't know.
Miss Margaret Wilson, his Oldest
daughter, doesn't know.
Miss Jessie Wilson, his second
daughter, doesn't know.
Miss Eleanor Wilson, his youngest
daughter, doesn't know
Not one Of the men who will even
tually be in the cabinet knows.
And Woodrow Wilson himself
doesn't know.
Within the last few days a personal
friend of the Wilson family spent the
evening at the Wilson home in Prince
ton. After Governor Wilson had left
the parlor for moment to answer
the telephone Mrs. Wilson said to the
visitor:
sDo you think Woodrowsis going to
put Mr.. Bryan in the cabinet? q
Her real anxiety for definite infor-
nation was shown by her words and
expression, which reflected clearly the
attitude of mind of Wilson's own wife
and daughters. They don't know, and
they are just as curious to find out as
anybody else.

FALLING WALLS
KILL MANY PE0PL
Fire Follows Crash and Victims
Burn to Death.
INJURED ARE MOSTLY WOMEN
TWO Buildings, One Occupied BY =
Department Store, Collapsed
Without Warm
ing.

Mckinney, Tex. The most appall.
ing tragedy in the history of this city
or county was enacted in the collapse
Of two of the city's largest brick
buildings, both filed with customers
at the time.
Until the ruins, which caught fire,
are completely cleared from the fatal
spot, the exact loss of life cannot be
ascertained, but it is stated by Mayor
Finch that it cannot fail to be less
35. Willing hands, by hundreds tore
apart the smoking bricks of the fallen
buildings. Hurting aside smoke-black-
ened and water-soaked timbers and
four hours after the collapse the man
gled and crushed bodies of seven per-
sons had been tenderly moved by 800
workers and the forms of Is injured
persons carried to the four hospitals
Of the city or to private houses after
emergency medical attention.
The collapsed stores were the three
story Odd Fellows Building, occupied
by the dry goods store of Cheeves
Brothers, crowded with women and
children attending white goods sale
at the time, and the adjoining two
story implement store of t. J.. Tingle.
The buildings collapsed shortly be-
fore o'clock. The implement house
was also doing thriving business.
Those in the buildings suddenly heard
a sound of the grooming OF tiInbers
A harsh cracking followed, and clerks
and customers alike broke for the
safety of the street.
Pressed outward by the weight of
the heavy implements and of the
stock, the walls Of the implement store
sWayed, sagged and burst through into
the department store. In an instant
hundreds of tons Of merchandise and
wrecked and shattered building ma
teriaI reared into a tremendous Heap
of debris on the site of the ruined de-
partment store, piling 80 feet high
into the air and settling in cloud OF
dust that rose like pail above me
buried bodies, while jagged timbers
thrust ugly heads from the mass.
After moment of stunned amaze
ment, of paralyzed Inactivity, hun
dreds of willing workers pitched into
the ruins. Scarcely had they mounted
the heap when tongues of flames burst
through it, and an alarm of fire was
added to the confusion. From all
over the city came workers, hundreds
of them, and as they came they were
formed into relays by Mayor Finch
and those assisting him.
AS one shift became exhausted an
other took its place. From mound
Of debris the smoking, steaming ruins
became crater. Bricks were hurled
aside, timber torn out and cast into
the street and mangled and crushed
forms were tenderly lifted from the
twisted mass Of wreckage and hurried
to various hospitals in wagons.

TURKS YIELD 70 POWERS.
The Allies May Demand the Payment
Of 5000, 0Oo,0

Constantinople, Jan. %. -Yielding to
the demands of the powers, which it
now appears amounted to nothing less
than an ultimatum, the Grand Coun-
ell of the Ottoman Empire decided late
today to cede the fortress of Adria-
nople to the Balkan allies and to
leave to the powers the question of
the disposal of the Aegean Islands.
This action, it is believed here, win
lead to the resumption of the peace
conference in London tomorrow and
an early termination thereof, with the
allies complete victors in the war with
Turkey and in the diplomatic conflict
that followed it, without further blood
shed.

BANK NOTES MADE TROUBLE


Occasionally an imperfect or mis-
printed bank note win evade the Wig
lance Of the inspectors Of the bureau
OF engraving and printing. The most
extraordinary misprint that ever
found its way into circulation was @
$50 national bank note.
A clerk in western hotel in maxi
ing up his accounts found discrep-
ancy that could not be explained. He
placed the pile Of bills at his left,
hand and as he counted each one
turned the note over and put it on .
pile at his right He discovered that
when he counted from left to right
his cash balanced exactly, says the
Youths Companion, but that when he
counted from right to left there was
q shortage OF $50. The clerk spent;
more than two hours in trying to find
out what was the matter. Finally in
desperation he called upon the cash
Ter for assistance.
The cashier had no better success.
Again and again he counted the bills
with the same result one time the:
cash would balance and the next time
It would show a shortage. Finally he
examined each bill both face and back,
whereupon the mystery was explained.
One Of the bills bore the design of
$50 on the face and that of 500 on
the back. The clerk had taken the bill
for 500.
Upon corresponding with the treas
ury department they found that the
department had a record Of the bill.
In 1890 one sheet of bank notes for
national bank in Kansas City had been
reversed in the press. One plate bore
the diverse OF a $50 bill at the top
and the diverse Of a 500 bill at the
bottom. The other plate bore the re-
verse Of the two notes. AS each sheet
was printed 1t had been laid aside to
dry before being run through for the
reverse printing Inadvertently the
pressman had turned one sheet upside
down, with the result that two mis-
printed bills came forth with a
$50 face and 500 back and the other
with 500 face and a $50 back.
The cashier of the bank had been
the first one to become aware Of the
error. He found that something was
wrong, after he had paid out the note
with the $50 face and the 800 back,
BY coming across one with the 500
face and the $50 back. This note was
returned to the treasury and destroy
ed and q perfect one issued in it,
stead
Another curiosity is ST note Of the
Second National Bank Of Rayenna, 0.
A. lacks the signatures Of the presi-
dent and the cashier. although it was
circulated without challenge.
