brought to police headquarters, influ-
-enced the police to make the charge Of
murder against Manning. One of these

WILSON PAYS HIGH
TRIBUTE TO BRYAN

Baltimore. Md. Feb. president
Wilson in a letter to William l.. Mar
bury. of this city. published in the
Baltimore Sun today, says that the
ships from Panama canal tolls CON
s~titutes a very mistaken policy from

high tribute to Secretary of State

mistaken policy from every point OF view.
Tt is economically unjust: as n matter Ut
fact. 1t benefits for the present Mt any

in clear violation Of the terms OF the Hay
Pauncefote treaty. There is. of course.

the last point as there is. no doubt. as to
the others. hut 1t is at least debatahla.

tiers are debatable. l for one, do not care
to debate them. / think the country
would prefer to let no question arise as
to its whole-hearted purpose to redeem It's
promises in the light of any reasonable
construction of them rather than debate
a point of honor.
Your reference to the secretary Of state
shows how comprehensively you nave
looked on during the last few months.

WHAT 1T COSTS TO LIVE
I'M MANHATTAN BOROUGH

New York. Feb. a.-on 81. income of
between $1,000 and SLIGO a year a
family of five ear live, under ordinary
conditions in fair comfort in the
borough of Manhattan; and an income
of between s1,100 and $1,000 probably
is necessary for the average family to
maintain unaided a normal standard
of living in that borough, preserving
health. mind, character, self respect
and proper conditions Of family life"
This is what the experience of the
New York Association for Improving
the Condition of the Poor in caring
for 81 families in the Home hospital in
the Vanderbilt tenements has taught,
according to a report issued by the or
ganization. For the daily budget of
an average family, based on its OBJ
servations. the association allows 65
cents for rent and $1.29 for food.
Clothing is given al 43 cents per day
and miscellaneous items bring the
daily expense to $780, or $1,OS2.25 a
year., for a family of five.

VESSELS CAUGHT IN
GREAT JAMS OF ICE
Two Fishing Schooners Trapped
and Navy Tug Cannot
Be Located.

Washington, Feb. s.-Wireless calls
We're sputtering out from the big navy
overs at Arlington today to the frozen
wastes OF the New Foundland coast,
searching for the navy tug Potomac,
lost In the ICE after an unsuccessful
attempt to rescue the crews Of the,
fishing schooners Hiram Lowell and
Frances Willard. They heavy ice packs
in the Bay of Islands turned the sturdy
Potomac back from her work Of rescue
after days of useless smashing at the
frozen fields that hold the Lowell and
the Willard prisoners. She left the
bay for North Sydney Thursday night
and should have put into port yester-
day. When the tug was not heard
from today, navy officers said there
was no cause for alarm, cut put tho
wireless feeling for her. They thought
h merely had beer delayed making
her way through the heavy Ice in the
straits.
The jam, however, probably will be
the salvation Of the crews of the Inn
prisoned fishing schooners. Officials
here are not concerned for their safety,
saying If their ships are crushed in the
pack they easily can make their way
TO shore over the ice.

EXEMPTION CLAUSE IN
TICKET Is NOT VALID

LONDON, Feb. 1o.-The court of APP
peals today dismissed the appeal of
the White Star Steamship company
and declared illegal the condition
printed OF the steamship tickets ex-
eInpting the company from liability for
loss by Il passenger, even through the
negligence of the company's servants.
The question of the legality of this
eXempting clause was raised in a test
case brought by an Irish farmer claim
ing damages for the loss of his son in
the Titanic disaster.
Lord Justice Sir Roland Vaughan
Williams. in delivering judgment. said
he thought the danger to the Titanic
was neither unforeseen nor unforesee-
able and hat practice did not justify
a vessel in maintaining her course and
speed when the warnings of dangers
ahead We're such as the Titanic re-
ceived. The clause on the back of the
ticket eXempting the company from
liability for negligence, was, he de-
clared, invalid.
