HEARINGS
ON TOLL,
BILL end

Washington, April 2S.-Hearings on
the bill to repeal the. free tolls pro-
vision of the Panama canal act were
closed last night and the senate Ca
mails committee today began consid-
Grafton Of report to the senate.
The committee is said to be about
evenly: divided for and against repeal.
Chairman Osctorman thoug1I ne e1-
ecutive deliberations might last two
days, but it seemed certain that a
majority will favor some sort Of re-
port so that the measure may be
brought before the senate the present
week.
Senator Simmons, one Of the lead
ers in the fight for repeal, said the
committee might report the bill with
an amendment which would declare
in substance that the United States
valves no rights over the canal.
Others. suggested that owing to the
division in the committee report
without any recommendation whatever
could be looked for. In any case the
big fight on repeal will be made on
the senate floor where the debate is
expected to last several weeks.
The hearings of the committee be-
gan April and continued without IN
terruption until last night. Scores OF
witnesses we're heard and many diff
ferent arguments, economic and legal,
were presented.
Joseph N. Teal Of Portland, Ore, on
behalf of the Portland Chamber Of
Commerce, and other Pacific coast
trade organizations, protested before
the committee against the repeal, and
criticized severely the Taft proclanna-
ton fixing tolls on the carrying ca
pacity of ships.
r. H. Phillips Of Kensington, Nd.
expressed the opinion that the proper
Yankee way for the democrats to get
out of a bad hole the republicans had
placed them In was to exempt all
ships passing through the canal from
one coast of North or South America
to the other coast.
r. A. Jones, member Of the Arizona
state corporation commission, said
that the inter r-mountain country was
Just as much interested in free tolls
as the Pacific coast. President Dod-
son Of the Pensacola Chamber Of
Commerce favored repeal OF tolls ex-
|emption.

MEXICO SAFE

New York, April 28.-John w.
Butler. the representative of the
board of foreign missions Of the
Methodist Episcopal church In
Mexico City, with a number OF
missionaries in his party, is be-
ing prevented from departing to
Vera Cruz. according to a cable
gram received by The Christian
Advocate in this city.
The cable was sent to Frederick
F. Wolfe and Raymond A. Car
hart, two of the missionaries who
contrived to get out Of Mexico
City by taking advantage of
British protection. Last Satur-
day after the two missionaries
had arrived in Vera Cruz, they
were joined by DR.. Buffers secre-
tary, who, being a German, had
been allowed to leave Mexico City.
He said that DR.. Butler and his
party were still being held, but
were unmolested and that the mis-
sion property was still unharmed.
"On Friday" read the cable
gram, many American business
places were severely damaged.
but there was much individual
sentiment friendly to Americans.
Various missionaries OF other
churches are still in the city. The
authorities are trying to arrange
to bring Americans out. Ameri-
cans are still refused passage by
the government"

Rescue OF Americans
Inland From Iampiico

Washington, D. c., April 2s.--
Admiral Mayo reported that Admiral
Cradock of the British cruiser
Hermione had dispatched Major Clark
and a DISPLACEMENT Of British royal
marines forty miles inland from
Tampico to rescue eight Americans
at Orange HILL They are expected to
return tonight. The Hermione sent
thirteen refugees aboard the Des
Moines.
Admiral Badger reported it would
be inadvisable to send an American
ship to the Yucatan district, "as 1t
might start anti ti-American demonstra-
tions" In regard to reports from
Tampico that American citizens there
were indignant because of the de-
parture of American battleships from
the river, Secretary Daniels said his
action was taken after Admiral Cra-
dock had informed Mayo that he

would undertake to receive Americans
from Tampico aboard the Hermione
and transfer them to the Des Moines
upon the American battleships taking
position at sea. This arrangement
it was thought, Daniels said would
make anti-American demonstrations
less likely:
'I will go and bring the refugees
to you" the British admiral Is re-
ported to have said to Mayo.

Fortunately, growers who wish to
avoid this variety can readily identify
it by the presence of Russian KNAPP
weed seeds. These seeds have not
been found anywhere except in COM
mercial Turkestan seed, and here
they are practically always present.
Russian knapweed is. in some ways
similar to quack grass, Johnson grass
and Canada thistle, spreading both
by seeds and underground rootstocks.
The seeds are slightly larger than
those of alfalfa and cannot all be re-
moved by any practicable method of
machine cleaning. Their chalky
white color makes them especially
conspicuous, and their symmetrical
form slightly wedge shaped-dis-
them from the notched
seed Of other species often found in
varieties Of alfalfa from other sec
tons. The kapWeed seeds, however,
are not usually found in large quanti-
ties and any lot Of alfalfa should,
therefore, be examined in bulk. The
examination Of small samples is not
sufficient to show whether the alfalfa
comes from Turkestan or not.

I TI-SUFFRAGE 2 MEETING: :

/. The National Association Opposed
to Woman Suffrage, is cooperating
with the State Association in the
campaign that is being conducted on
this issue this fall in North Dakota.
They are sending a speaker, Mrs.
o. D. Oliphant of New jersey. who
will make addresses in many Of our
larger towns and cities. She is an
entertaining, forceful and convincing.
speaker; her coming will afford a
very vital opportunity for the voters
Of North Dakota to hear one side Of
this controversy. -. ~.
The recent action of both the re
publican and democratic parties in
inserting in their platforms planks
urging the Importance of correct
decision of, the Suffrage question, and
calling upon the voters to post them
selves thoroughly in this matter, to
the end that they may vote intelli-
gently, at the coming election, makes
it incumbent upon the electorate to
hear both sides in order that they
may be thoroughly informed.
The State Association is anxious to
extend this opportunity to the citi-
:zens of Dickinson and Mrs. Oliphant
will probably visit Dickinson the Oath
of September. Later notice giving
the exact time and place will be
furnished.
It, is hoped that the citizens of
Dickinson will bear this in mind and
be sure that they do not fail to hear
Mrs. Oliphant.
