ROOTS PANAMA BILL
NOT HELPING MATTER
Secretary of State Knox Going Ahead
in Preparing Answer to the
English Protest.

The fact that Senator Root next week
will urge the passage of his bill repeating
the provision OF the Panama Canal act
" hich grants free passage to American
ships engaged in the Coastwise trade. will
not alter the course Of the Department
OF State in its exchange of notes with
Great Britain relative to the protest
a lainst the canal tolls act made by that
government. Secretary of state Knox
and Chandler =. Anderson. counselor Of
the Department of State. are still en-
gagged in the preparation of the note
which will be sent in reply TO that of
SIR Edward Grey. When this task is
completed. it is stated. the note will be
communicated to the British government
regardless of discussions, pro or con, in
the Senate
No one could be found at the State
Department yesterday of the opinion that
Senator Root Is helping matters any by
introducing a bill for the repeal of the
free-tolls clause OF the canal act, and
announcing that he will speak on his
measure in a few days. The State De-
pGrtment is now engaged in defending
the very piece of legislation which Sena-
tor Root seeks to have repealed. While
the task of Secretary Knox would. of
course. instantly vanish II the free-tolls
clause were repealed. there is thought to
be no reason for believing that the Sena-
tor will succeed in inducing the Senate,
much less the House, to repeal any por-
ton of the Panama Canal act. Conse-
quently. it is felt at the State Depart
ment that this administration probably
would end with nothing done in the PAN
anna Canal controversy il the sending
of the reply to Sir Edward Grey's note
were delayed pending the outcome of
Senator Roots proposal

Resolution Against Change.

The question of inaugurating a service

exclusively by colored people. was set
tied. as far as the Randle Highlands Cit
izans' Associat ton was concerned. when
last night the organization instructed
its delegate to the Federated Citizens
Association, p. +. Mckinney. to vote
against any such move at separating the
races. 1t is the sentiment Of the asso-
citation, as expressed in the speech of

getting a more adequate car service for
the suburbs than they are with separat-
ing the colored people from the white.

RECORD REFUTES
SIMS ATTACK
ONO. {. GLOVER


explanation of the Senate report contain
ing figures for two different projects, in
dicates clearly that both Mr.. Andrus and
Mr.. Sims were themselves misled and
had no intention of misstating facts.
Mr.. Sims, as was true OF Mr.. Andrus
during the latter's tenure OF Office. COM
mands the respect of every member of
the House, and his integrity OF word or
purpose is not subject to debate. In ris-
Ing to a question of personal privilege
yesterday, Mr.. Sims said:
ANY member of this House who in
debate on the floor would willfully make
false statement and mIslead the men,
bers and cause them to vote otherwise
than they would ought to be expelled"
Mr.. Sims explained that. in 1909, when
the bill in question was before the House,
he had come into the chamber after Rep
resentative Andrus of New York had con-
cluded his remarks. Mr.. Andrus, he
said. had unwittingly quoted the wrong
figures in connection with the price set
up on the Rock Creek Park addition
tract by mixing them up with figures
contained in Senate report on the bill
proposing the purchase of the Meridian
Hill property.
Statement Related.
Therefore. how could the gentleman
from New York or myself, either OF US,
have made a false statement, knowing
II to be false at the time" asked Mr.
Sims. after explaining that both prof.
ects were referred to in the report from
which Mr.. Andrus read.
The number Of the bill was given by
the gentleman from New York. the num-
Ter OF the report was given by him and
read from in my hearing: but the facts
are that not a word in that report or in
the speech of Mr.. Andrus or myself ever
charged that Mr.. Glover had an option
on that land at si:3.NJ and was trying
10 sell it to the government at $4,000
Il will admit that by Mr.. Andrus say
ing il was th!sfdentical bill. and reading
from the report of the Senate committee
made on the same item in a former bill,
l did think myself that was what it re-
fcrred to. not being a member of the
committee that had Investigated it"
Referring To Mr.. Glovers statement
that up to few days before his recent
appearance before the insurance investi-
eating committee he had known only i'll
substance Of Mr.. Andrus' remarks Mr..
Sims declared that three years ago he
and Mr.. Glover had discussed them in
the Riggs Bank. and that he had told
Mr.. Glover then that he would be glad
to correct any false impression that |
might have crept through confusion OF
the Rock Creek extension and Meridian
Hill projects
