DREADFUL RESULT
is FORECASTED
If Congress Repeats Panama Canal Tolls
Exemption-Rep. Knowland of
California Is Very
Bitter.

Washington. d. c., March l4.-Vigor-
Gus denunciation of the Sims bill, which
he characterized as notice TO the world
that the United States had abandoned
its policy of an American controlled
Panama canal and virtually surrendered
its power to regulate its commerce be-
cause of new peace at any price policy
featured. the minority report to the
House to-day by Representative Know
land of California against the repeal of
the tolls exemption clause of the PAN
anna canal act. The interstate COM
a member, had favorably reported the
bill, proposing fat repeal.
Representative Knowland's minority
report says in part: "a situation un-
paralleled and unprecedented in history
now confronts the nation. The passage
of this bill gives British interpreta-
tion of the Hay y-Pauncefote treaty and
thus surTenders for all time rights vitality
affecting this nation commercially, stra-
logically and politically. Thousands of
patriotic Americans insist we cannot
maintain our national honor in the pres
ent controversy if we abjectly surrender
every American right at Panama"
The report warned the committee and
members of the House that the Sims
bill would foreclose the right of battle
ships to pass through the canal with
out payment of tolls.
Representative Lafferty of Oregon in
minority report said the president
made mountain out of mole hill
when he appeared in Congress urging
surrender of rights.

EDUCATIONAL REPORT CRITICIZED
By Vermont Educators Assembled at
Burlington.

Burlington, March l4.--The report of
the Carnegie Foundation on the second
airy school system of Vermont, with rec
concentrations for the reconstruction of
high schools into junior and junior CEN
trail high schools, received several jolts
last night at the semi-annual banquet
and meeting of the Vermont School
masters association at Hotel Vermont.
1t was the largest gathering of its kind
ever held, about 20 being present.
The sentiment expressed was that the
document was ably prepared and writ
ten by an expert who was also an ideal
st, and that it could do more at least
than to awaken Vermont to new sys-
tenn OF education. That it was written
by investigators who were not acquaint-
ed with conditions in Vermont was the
general opinion.
Principal Morrow of Bakersfield acad-
emy said that Vermont had been ap-
preached as the rural state by the Foun-
dation committee, which had submitted
a kind OF treatment ideal for rural peo-
pies.
Gov. Fletcher, who was present, said
the report was a good one, from the
fact that it had aroused controversy and
discussion, but he would reserve opinion
on it until the state commission had
submitted its report.
"If there be grains of truth in it," he
said, "let the state take heed"
Among the guests at the banquet were
Pres. Guy Potter Benton of the Uni
versity OF Vermont, Pres. John M.
Thomas OF Middlebury college, State
Supt. of Education Mason S. Stone and
other prominent educators.

Because of Collapse of Bridge Last
Summer.

Burlington, March l4.-Papers were
filed in the county clerks office yester-
day in the case of Eleanor Hale VS.. the
Town of Royalton. The action is in
trover and the pleadings state that the

of $4,000; that the plaintiff lost said
property and that the town of Royalton
found it and that the town, though re-
quested to do so, refuses to give it up
and has converted it. The facts seem TO be

Shell ExpIodes After Fifty Years.

Using small cap on an unexploded
shell, picked up on Gettysburg's field oil
battle 81 years ago, Abraham OrriS,
prominent farmer OF Lower frankfort
township, Cumberland county, saw the
relic blown into fragments, the powder
having remained active after half CEN
fury.
Mr.. Orris came into possession of the
shell rather recently when he secured il
from an estate OF which he was admins
traitor. He became nerI Gus about hav-
ing the unexploded missile about The
place and suggested TO a gang OF tele-
phone lnemen. who happened TO be dig
ging pole holes in his section, the advis-
ability OF placing the shell in one OF the
holes, attaching dynamite cap to same,
and by use of the battery exploding the
shell.
The linemen accepted the proposition,
and placing the shell in the hole, attached
cap 10 if, and then applied the battery.
The explosion was terrific and the shell
was blown into fragments, and more
earth was torn loose than six dynamite
sticks would have accomplished.
Many OF the shells sold in past years TO
tourists al Gettysburg would explode in
the same way, il is believed, if some eff
fort were made to "set them Off" No
one was hurt in the Cumberland county
mans experiment, but the wisdom Of
burying the shell before applying the
current was forcibly demonstrated.
