VI0LINIST WILL PLAY
AT BAPTIST CHURCH

Bella C. w. Block, who has studied
under some of the finest teachers in
Europe, will play several selections
on his violin in the First Baptist
church Sunday evening. The pastor,
Rev. William II. Bawden, moreover,
has an interesting and profitable
topic for discussion, for he will at
tempt to tell What Girl Expects
of a Man" OF course, he knows
nothing about it; but he has the word
of a girl who is supposed to know to
lean upon. Moreover, he has dis
covered an ancient saying. pithily ex-
pressed, which makes him wonder
whether the girl in question did not
have it in mind when she said what
she did. The two will be placed side
by side, that the congregation may
decide. The service commences at
1880, and all are invited.

WILL AMEND THE
ANTITRUST LAW
By ASSOCIATED PRESS.

Washington, Jan. 24.-Recommenda-
tions in favor of several amendments
to the Sherman anti trust law were
practically decided upon today at an
executive meeting Of the senate Inter
state Commerce committee, held to
discuss a report on the hearings dur
ing 1911 and 1912. The committee re-
quested Senator Cummins of Iowa to
prepare its report.
The discussion indicated the mem
bers were in substantial agreement for
an amendment looking to the mainte-
nance of the principle of competition
rather than the regulation of monop-
oily.
Practically unanimous action was
taken but that conditions should be in
the form of supplemental action. This
is interpreted as meaning that all
combinations interfering with COM
petition shall be held to be Illegal.
Difference of opinion arose in con-
nection with the discussion of the SUI
preme courts Interpretation to the eff
feet that the word reasonable" should
be considered in the law.

c. E. Dobson, president of the Pen
sacola Commercial Association, left at
$40 o'clock last night for Washington,
d. c., where he will spend the next ten
days or two weeks in an effort to get
an appropriation from congress for tho
digging of the proposed Pensacola bay
to Mobile bay inland waterway
Mr.. Dobson decided yesterday to go
by way of Jacksonville instead of by
the more direct route. as Congress
man. elect Emmett Wilson is also going
to Washington and he will have com
pany by going with him. They will
spend four or five hours in Jackson
vile today, Mr.. Wilson having some
business there, and will leave shortly
after noon for the north
Owing to his suddenly formed de-
cision to leave by the $40 train OH
the Louisville and Nashville instead
of on the late train over the same
road, Mr.. Dobson had little time to
talk last night upon his trip.

board. next Monday. and get from
them and the chief OF engineers, e
possible, a recommendation to con-
gress that the present rivers and har-
bors Improvement bill be amended ~
include the building of the canal from
here to Mobile.
He expects while in Washington 70
ascertain what the future possibilities
of the navy yard located here are,
and to attend to some other minor
matters which he said last night may
occur to him while there. He could
not say what any of those might be.
1t is understood that 1t is his inten-
ton to try to have the engineers rec
ommend the project of making canal
in its entirety, advising the senate
commerce committee that they favor
an appropriation for insuring the
whole work.
When the matter was taken up in
Washington before, the board made
known that it is not in favor of ex-
pending any more money for river and
harbor extentions except the port
which the extension would benefit has
control of its terminals and shipping
already assured
The commercial association then
went to work to bring about the i'm
provement on a compromise basis
known as one-half the project.
The recent action of the voters in
assuring Pensacola it's own terminals
and the agreement of John Bernhard,
head of big inland waterways ship
ping concern, with Offices in New Or
leans, that they would utilize the pre-
posed canal extensively have, however,
given the plan new color.
Mr.. Dobson will be able now not
only to show the engineer board that
it's objections have been overcome, but
be in a position, besides, to ask that
the entire project be recommended.

LONDON PAPERS COMMENT
ON REPLY OF KNOX

London, Jan; 24.-Secretary Knoxs
reply to Sir Edward Grey on the ques-
ton of Panama is found unsatisfac-
tory by those evening newspapers
which comment on it.
The Westminster Gazette, generally
locked upon as the mouthpiece of thu
government, says:
THE Knox suggestion leaves the
door open to a long series of bicker-
ings which might do much to under
mine the good relations Of the two
&C untries''
The Pail Mall Gazette says:
Coming from any other country
than the United States, the tone of
Secretary Knox's reply would be deep
ly resented. Unless International law
overrides municipal law when treaty
rights clash with it, international law
has no existence and peaceful inter-
course between states become impos-
sible.
