ADAMSON HEADS
FIGHT ON FREE
CANAL TOLLS
Georgia Congressman Lines Up
Support Behind Repeal Act
To Be introduced.
BY THEODORE X. utLER-

WASHINGTON. March 17--COn-
gresham William q. Adamson, %
Georgia. chairman Of the house COM
mittee on interstate and foreign com
merce, and Congressman Thetus Sims,
OF Tennessee, a member Of the COM
mittee. are lining up fight for the
early repeal of the free tolls section Of
the Panama canal act
Congressman Sims will introduce at
the beginning OF the extra session his
bill to repeal this section. Mr.. Adam
son whose committee did not include
free tolls in the Original canal bill is
In sympathy with the plan.
Mr.. Sims said Senator Root is ready
TO Introduce and press in the senate n
bill to repeal the free tolls clause. Sen
stor Root believes the clause is in con
PREVENTION OF treaty obligations. Mr..
Sims. that II amounts to subsidy.
Up to Wilson and Bryan.
The question really IL up 10 Presi-
dent Wilson and Secretary OF state
Bryan II is not believed the house and
senate will rescind their former action
without DEFINITE word from the presi-
dent and state department Reports
stiIl are prevalent that President VIII
son is opposed TO free tolls. II left to
their own devices. the house leaders
might put through repeal legislation,
but II il practically certain the white
house will speak before the Sims bill
makes material progress
The agitation for repeal Is embarass-
ing TO tho administration, IN that the
Democratic platform squarely favors
free tolls. The platform virtually was
drawn by Bryan, now secretary Of state
who has fallen heir 60 the Great Britain
protest Senator O'Cforman. of New
York, on the resolutions committee al
Baltimore is opposed to repeal. and he
probably WIN be chairman Of the senate
committee on inter-oceanic canals
Presidents Aid Needed.
Unless President Wilson lines up be
mind the Sims Root bill the indications
are there will be no repeal legislation
Like Chairman Adamson, Mr.. Sims
asserts THE passage OF this bill not
only will prevent giving subsidies to a
highly protected trust in the coastwiso
shipping trade, but viii prevent en-
forced or voluntary arbitration with
Great Britain and other nations"
Opponents OF repeal maintain lobby
OF railroad interests is maintained here
and that President Wilson will be ac-
quainted with this before he commits
himself on the question of free tolls.

The Vindication

There has been q studied effort in
certain quarters 10 impugn Senator
Hoke SMITHS loyalty to his colleague,
Senator Bacon, in the latteTs unsuc-
cessful though thoroughly worthy am
bition TO be named president pro TEN of
the senate. II has not been openly
charged that Senator Smith was I'M
faithful in this matter, for his own con
duct from hrst TO last would have re-
futed such an assertion. But II has
been insinuated through tricky rumors
and distortions of the facts that he
knew Of Senator Bacon's impending de-
feat vet failed TO give due warning or
to take due steps to prevent #. So per
sistently and cunningly have these in
nuendos been dropped. that even a few
members Of the senate were deceived
and one Of them. Senator Tiumau, i'm
petuously declared that Senator Smith
had acted IN bad faith
But Senator Smiths yindicatioh IS
now complete and IL Is a yindication
from the senate itself. At the caucus Of
Democratic senators yesterday Sena-
tor Smith went directly and vigorously
into the TinmaH statement He de-
clared that he had no intimation Of the
opposition to Senator Bacon for the
presidency pro tenn and he called upon
every senator present who had voted
against Senator Bacon to state whether
or not this was true They not only
verified Senator Smiths position. but
Senator O'GOrm8n declared that ten
minutes before he mad presented the
name Of Senator Clarke for president
pro tempore ne had not fully deter
mined to do So Thus It was Conclu-
sively established that Senator Smith
did not know and could not have known
OF any plan TO defeat Senator Bacon.
As browning touch to the entire
vindication. Senator Tillman himself
convinced Of his error. withdrew his
implication against Senator Smith ana
apologized for the unjust attitude he
had been led TO assume
Not only was Senator Smiths exon
Grafton of any appearance of disloyalty
to his colleague complete, but In recog-
milton Of his leadership and ability. the
Democratic caucus assigned him places
on seven highly important senate com
mittces. notably those on education and
labor, OF which he is chairman, on
finance, postofiices and post roads, agr1-
culture. manufacturers, coast and in
sular survey and coast defense
This unfair and indefensible scheme
to discredit Georgia's Junior senator has
fallen nat. His loyalty looms out UNI
spotted and his merit receives its Just
reward at the hands Of his colleagues.
What will be the next fiasco Of his en-
emies in their studied efforts to impair
his usefulness to the state and the
country?

Representative Wants
Government Line to
Solve Tolls Problem

WASHINGTON. March 17.-Reprs-
sentative Stephens. of California. in
tends TO introduce at the special ses-
sion a bill providing for a govern
ment owned line of freight and pas
senger steamers to ply between At
lantic and Pacific ports, if the free
tolls provision OF the Panama canal
bill be repealed. Mr.. Stephens regards
government owned vessels as the
solution of the tolls problem.
Those in favor of free tolls are pre-
pairing to see President Wilson to tell
him that Canadian interests are work
ing for the repeal of the clause. Sen
ator O'Gorman, of New York who ia
vors free tolls, is slated for the chair
manship Of the committee on inter
oceanic canals in the next congress.
This may still further complicate the
situation.

inches. as If the two occurrences had
had common impulse. Assured that
he was alone, Jarvis pushed the lid all
the way back and slowly sat upright
in the bottom of the trunk The ex-
IRENE caution of his movements was
not so mueh due to the fear Of being
overheard as to the conviction that the
long pounding he had undergone had
rendered him brittle, and that a sudden
movement would inevitably break a
piece of him off somewhere.

earnestly when he had at last gained an
upright position. He sat, squirming

WHAT HAS GONE BEFORE

The scene of the story is laid in
the Vanderlip Hotel, New York
city. The Princess Maria Theresa
or Segura, a beautiful Spanish
woman, is suddenly awakened in
her suite by the sound of pistol
shots. She hears a man running
down the hall. He crashes against
her door, breaking the lock, and
enters. She sees he is a tall, good
looking young man, dressed in
evening clothes. He is carrying a
revolver in his right hand, and
blood is dripping from a wound in
MS left. He begs the Princess to
hide him. She, moved by some in
descrtbable impulse, decides that

inner room, and a few minutes
later, when the hotel detective
knocks on the door, she tells him
she Is all right and sends him
away. The young man, who is
warren Jarvis, of Kentucky, comes
out or his hiding place, and the
Prlncess, for the first time, notices
MS wound. She is moved to SYM
pathy and showers him with ques-
lions as to what has occurred. Jar
Wis tells her about a Kentucky
feud between his family and an
other named Markham. He saws

lists, but encountered one Of them

shots. The Princess declares she

stranger question, Are you afraid

grows solemn when the Princess
tells him she has dangerous work
for him to do. She makes him
swear allegiance, and creates him
her 'vassal." Then she tells him
to get her trunk, which is going
to be shipped to a steamship on
which she sails to Spain the fol-
lowing day. First Jarvis tells her
to telephone to his servant, Rusty
Snow, a negro. The servant is in
structed to procure passage for
himself and Jarvis in the ship.
Jarvis then prepares to get into
the trunk, but first begins to ques-
ton the Princess about herself.

her. But his wicked little triumph was

showed it in his own way.

pressed it, was instantly gore" at that

master gasp above his own wheeling
and groaning.

Jarvis nodded energeicaIly. That's
just what I want to know" he declared
with hearty emphasis. From what
overheard there is something queer
about your castle. You forget am

from durance. The old servant was
dismissed wondering what Marse War

in the situation.

said Dona Maria, divining the reason
for these orders. We're out of the

He shook his head uneasily. You

As I understand it, you are taking me

begun could not but hold some measure
of woe for him. II he had this feeling
