did not mean that the proposed step was disappfeved Any declaration of policy on the subject of canal tolls has been avoided since President Wilson assumed office last March.
 When Ambassador Bryce left Wash ington in April it was generally under stood that he had secured some sort of assurance that no effort would be made by the United States to execute the free tolls provision of the canal act There has been no official con- hrmation of this, but significance has been attached to the fact that nego- tiations between Washington and Lon- don in regard to the tolls question came to a complete stop about that time, and the British government has made no effort to resume them, al though MT. Bryce's last note practical ly committed the British foreign office to the delivery of another communlca- tion amplifying and strengthening the points adduced by the ambassador in opposition to the argument of the state department in support of the existing canal tolls act.
 Surplus Expected from Tolls.
 Those of us who advocated uniform tolIs,' said Mir, Adamson, rested our case largely on the contention that the tolls would be needed to operate the canal, to prevent the operation and maintenance from becoming a charge on the treasury. Most of those who advocated exemption for the coast wise trade professed that if the gov ernment really needed the tolls to op crate the canal, then they would not insist on exemption, but they contend ed that there would be a large surplus of tolls from other vessels and that tn exemption could well be afforded, considering the plethora of revenue.

SCHMIDT DECLARED
 TO BE A PARANOiC.
Several Prominent AIienists Testify for
 the Defence.

New York, Dec. 23.-Alienists called by the defense testified today at the trial of Hans Schmidt for the murder of Anna Aumuller that the prisoner is a paranOic. Examination of alienists will be continued when the trial is re- sumed tomorrow.
 Dr. William A. White of the United States hospital for the insane, Wash ington, D. C., said he was convinced the defendants insanity was of the paranoic type. Schmidt, he believed, had perverted understanding of the nature of his act, but looked upon it as a glorious sacrifice, which he had been commanded to make.
 Dr. Henry Cotton, of the New Jersey state hospital at Trenton, was then called. His testimony coincided with that given by Doctors Jeliffe and White. He thought Schmidt had suf- fered from alteration for at least six years and was incurable
 That Schmidt was insane at the time of the murder was the opinion of Dr.. M. $. Gregory of Bellevue Hospital of this city. He described the mental state of the defendant in the terms used by the other aienists.
