ROOT RE0pENS
FREE TOLL FIGHT
Says United States Should
Recede From Position.
IS VIOLATION OF TREATY
Declares Hay-Pauncefote Agreement
Of 1901 Provides That the Proposed
Canal "Was to Be Open on Equaa
Terms to ALL"

Terms to ALL"
Washington, Jan. 22.-"The United
States either should submit the Pans
ma free toll question to impartial at
bitration or retire from the position
we have taken,' was the declarations
of Senator Root In the senate in
speech favoring repeal of the free
toll provision of the new Panama
canal act.
Senator Root took the position that
congress should not have passed
law last summer that Disseminated
against foreign shipping and granted
free tolls to American coastwise ship
ping. That action, he declared, had
been source of great regret to muf
titudes of our fellow citizens" and
had "created a painful impression
throughout the world"
Senator Root was an active oppo>
nent of the free toll provision when
the canal act passed last August and
his present speech opened a fight to
secure an amendment of the law be-
fore it goes into effect.
Advises Regard for Others.
"A decent regard for the opinions Of
mankind was one of the motives set
by the people Of these colonies into
the great declaration of their indie
pendence," said Senator Root Ha
outlined the relations between the
United States and Great Britain
which had led up to the making OF
the Hay-Pauncefote treaty in 1901,
under which the canal was construct.

obligations in that treaty were entire

Britain gave up it's rights to the pro

From the treaty with Great Britain
Senator Root read the declaration
that the proposed canal was to b
open ION equal terms to all"
THAT declaration is the corner
stone of the rights of the United
States at the Panama CANAL he ssid.

PLANS CENTRAL RESERVE

Proposes to Establish Commercial
Zones Throughout the Country, the
Banks Of Each Section to Contribute
to the Reserve Fund.
Washington, Jan. 22.-Former Rep
:esentative Charles N. Fowler of New
Jersey outlined to the house currency
'eform committee his suggestions for
'evision of the monetary system.
He proposed that all national banks
De authorized to do commercial, saw
ngs and trust company business and
make note issues as Canadian banks
10; that all holding companies" of
banks be prohibited and that all banks
se compelled to carry the same
amount of reserve, always in gold.
All banks should be under federal
control, he contended, as banking was
Interstate business, and that clearing
houses should be established at all
financial centers, to be designated as
commercial zones under the man.
lgement of boards of control elected
BY the banks. A bankers council to
let as court of appeals for each zone,
composed of business men and bank
ers, he also proposed. A deputy Unit
ed States comptroller would preside
over each board.
Central Reserve Proposed.
BY having all banks in the United
States contribute from to 10 per cent
bf their deposits to a central reserve
Mr.. Fowler estimated a gold reserve
Df upwards of $3.50, 100000 would be
created to be held in trust for all CON-
mercial zones and it's distribution in
times of need would be controlled by
board chosen from all the zones.
Such plan, Mr.. Fowler told the COM
mittee, would enable such an organi-
Eation as outlined to control the move
ment Of gold to and from the United
States and enforce discount rate for
gold transactions.
It's chief results, he said, would be
10 make each bank independent; to
make each zone Independent Of anoth-
er and completely decentralize all
bank credits in the United States.

ing NO FroteCCion.
Washington, Jan. 22.-Disquieting
reports Of grave situation at Vera
Cruz, Mex, caused state department
officials to seriously consider detach-
ing one of the warships from the First
division of the Atlantic fleet at Guam
tanamo for immediate duty at the
Mexican port.
Continued disorders and widespread
rebel activities are occurring in South.
ern Mexico, where, according to Off
cial dispatches, small towns and
ranches have been pillaged, women
have been carried OF and bandits have
demoralized the populace. Apprehen-
sion is felt here for the safety of
Americans in the disturbed zone.
That the Madero government was
providing little or no protection for
foreign interests again has been mads
evident by the recent action of Ameri-
can planters in announcing that they
proposed to pay tribute to the rebel,
Zapata, to protect their growing crops
against other rebel bands and raiders.
Admit Reports Are Grave.
State department officials admitted
that their reports were of a condition
so grave as to indicate that the pres.
ence of a United States warship might
be necessary to protect Americans.
While the discouraging reports re-
ceived affect the situation on the At
lantic coast the situation on the Pa
cific is no better No adequate fed
eral reinforcements have arrived at

ice. This time a year ago the river was

Surgeon Farenholt finds that after en-
lstment the saiIorman acquires tatooing
more frequently than the marine, the
percentage bling % to 80; that
tattoong is about as prevalent in the

the character of the designs shows a re-

Some speculation is being INDUCED in

Spain to visit the United States, but
nothing official has been heard on the
subject.
No plans for the entertainment of kings
were embodied by the fathers in the

pointed out that one drawback to such a
visit would be that the President of the
United States could not repay il, as he
cannot leave the country during his term
