FARM FOR LOS ANGELES
 INEBRIATES OPENED


 LOS ANGELES, Jan. 22,-The city farm for inebriates was formally op' ened today.
 There are eleven acres in the tract, four planted in berries. The build ings will provide accommodations for forty persons, and in the summer this number can be increased by the use of tents. The idea is to give con firmed drunkards a chance to bring
 about their own reformation and re- juvenation by getting back to nature working outdoors and living on sim pie diet to be prescribed by a doctor who will be constantly on the ground.
 Inebriates will be sent to the farm at the discretion of Judges before whom they are brought. Their terms there probably will extend from four to six months. They will be placed on the honor system. Any of them caught violating their promises in this respect will be returned to jail to serve out their terms.

KNOX WILL URGE TOLL,

WASHINGTON, Jan. 22.-Secretary of State Knox is at work on his re- ply to England's protest of the Pan ana Canal tolls. In substance his note will state that the United States Government has the right, under in- ternational law and the Hay-Paunce- fote Panama Canal treaty, to levy any reasonable tolls for foreign shipping or grant to American vessels engaged in coastwise trade free passage through the canal just as long as the United States does not discrim- mate between Great Britain and some other foreign country than the United States.
 It is probable the Secretary will ex' press willingness to arbitrate the ques tion. If he does he will add that 1t must be before an arbitral board composed of citizens of the United States and Great Britain, and not be- fore the Hague Tribunal
 President Taft is anxious to have any arbitration of the question begun during his tenure of office. There can be no arbitration without the con sent of the Senate. At present the indications are that the Senate will refuse to arbitrate. In such an event the President will not drop out of the fight.

 Won Jagow, German Ambassador at Rome, is a dandy in dress, an anna teur in Italian art, and literary di- lettante.

The German phrase used was peculiarly offensive because usual ly employed in connection with cer- tain notorious night restaurants.
 However, Von Jagow has succeed ed in commenting himself to Emper- or William and the present Chancel. Tor, although, according to his critics, he was "too deep in mediavel Italy to notice that modern Italy was send ing troops to Tripoli."
 Like Kidderlen-Waechter, he is un- married, but otherwise there is the sharpest contrast between the two. Kidderlen-W -Waechter was gruff. Ja- gow is suave and rarely loses his temper. lie employs an Italian rapier
