CANCEL SAL|NGS
OF EvANGEl|NE
TOURISTS DO NOT CARE TO SEE
PANAMA CANAL AFTER 1T is
FILLED WITH WATER.

Jacksonville, Jan. 29-Because there
Is no tourist travel to the Panama
canal this winter, from any port on
the Atlantic coast, the Plant line,
southern division, has cancelled all
its sailings for the Evangeline from
this port, and will close its offices here
aturday of this week.
This is the statement of General
-lanager A w. Perry, who stated that
If they had given the sailing for Feb.
IL they would probably have had 100
passengers. This would have caused
loss OF $1,000 a day for this one
cruise, added to the cost of bringing
the Evangellne here from Halifax,
which would be $4,000, and the same
figure to take it back after the return
to Jacksonville.
He says that the Red Cross line has
cancelled all its cruises from New
York to the canal zone, that the North
German Lloyd has done the same, the
White Star has cancelled all cruise
sailings from New Orleans, that the
Hamburg-American has cancelled it's
America" and sent the Victoria Lou
lse down with the smallest passenger
list in its history.
General Manager Newsome, of the
United Fruit company, who was here
last week, stated that there is no busi-
ness to Panama this winter.
Capt. Perry says that the rush to
Panama last winter and the winter
before was evidently to see the big
ditch before the water was turned in
and that now it is filled tourists seem
to think that they could as we'll look
on the ST. Johns river, Or any other
stream and see practically the same
thing-mere water.
The Plant Line opened it's offices IN
the Seminole hotel here last Novem-
Der, and since that time it has spent
thousands of dollars in advertising
these cruises, and every railroad feed
ing this port has done the same, but
all to no effect Even Cooks, which is
uhe largest touring agency in the
world, has admitted. that it can secure
no profitable bookings for Panama
over any line from any port this win
ter.

Munroe had him down. Suddenly,

WILL DEBAT E ALL. SUMMER
Trade Commission Bill 70 Occupy Sen.
ate's Attention Until Late
in August.

Washington, June 8.-The house Is
through with antitrust legislation and
will be hard at work on the appropria
ton bill and general legislation for
some time to come. The passage OF
the tolls repeal bill with a senate
amendment will revive the subject in
the house, but it is not believed that
there will be any great difficulty in
getting that body. to accept the bill as
amended.
If the house does fail to accept the
amended bill, it must go to confer
ence, but the President is almost GER
tain to win his fight for repeal in
the end.
Few senators expect debate on the
trade commission bill to end in less
than two months. The bill itself
might not take such a great length
OF time, but 1t is open to amendments
OF any sort and there is little ques-
ton that many will be offered.
Unless they limit action to the
trade commission bill, congress seems
likely to be in session for a long
time to come. Though night sessions
might help toward an early adjourn
ment, many senators strenuously OBJ.
ject to working night and day during
a sweltering Washington summer and
at present the prospects for adjourn
ment before the middle of August. or
even later, are not particularly bright.
