NO FORMAL PROTEST
MADE To GERMANY Y
Inquiry Has eeen Ordered on
German Oil Bill.

Washington, March 31.-President
Wilson described the recent instruc.
tons to Ambassador Gerard at Berlin
in connection with the German oil
monopoly bill pending in the reich
stag as merely In the nature of an
inquiry and not a protest.
He told callers that the ambassador
had been instructed to ascertain II
there were any discrimination against
American industry and to report his
findings to Washington.
The attitude of this government has
been that the German government
was within Its rights in creating an
oil monopoly and that the controversy
largely was between American con.
Germs, the Standard Oil company and
independent corporations.
II is believed that the instructions
to Mr.. Gerard were to learn particu.
larly If any American property were
to be confiscated as the result of the
bill, without due compensation.
Recent reports that the bill might
be killed in the reichstag on account
of Socialist opposition have been
noted with interest here.

MANAHAN SUBMITS
QUERIES ON TOLLS
Asks Colleagues II They Know
Of Rail Interest in Bill.

Washington, March 31.-A series of
questions, designed to put in wrong
advocates of repeal of free tolls
through the Panama canal were put
to the house by Representative Man
ahan.
why is my time so Limited that all
can do is to put a few questions to
the advocates of this bill?" asked Mr..
Manahan. why this unseemly haste
in forcing this measure through the
house?
Are the people yet awake to the
meaning of this contest? Do they
realize that it is the last desperate
effort of the great railroads to main
tain control of the transportation and
to hold the power of levying unrea-
sonable freight rate taxes upon con.
sumers? Is ii not clear that In de-
manding the repeal of the exemption
of tolls on our coastwise shipping
England is acting as attorney for the
Canadian Pacific railroad?
do not my colleagues from the
Northwest realize that in pleading for
Englands view of the treaty they are
rendering valuable service to the royal
house of Hill. in Minnesota? Does not
the elimination of water competition
mean millions in railroad dividends ?
Does not my colleague. Mr.. Stevens.
realize that water competition reaches
to the very heart of this country-to
Winona, ST. Paul, Minneapolis and Du.

the Great Lakes?"

Chihuahua City, Mex, March 81
One thousand soldiers-some of them

Opposing Forces in House
Discuss Sims Measure.
REVOLT LEADERS BUSY


Other Prominent Members Are
Bringing Every Effort to Bear
Against the Administration Forces.
Washington, March 30.-The legisla.
tive battle over the repeal of the free
tolls provision of the Panama canal
act was renewed in the house, where
administration supporters, flushed by
their victory in the opening contest,
were jubilantly predicting that they
would win when vote is had on the
repeal bill itself.
The contest in the house was
largely of the oratorical character, al.
though administration supporters con-
tinued their efforts to strengthen their
forces for the final struggle. which is
expected to occur Tuesday or Wednes-
day.
When consideration of the repeal
bill was resumed many members for
and against the proposition were pre-
pared to discuss it.
Representative Underwood, major.
ity leader, Representative Fitzgerald,
Minority Leader Mann, and other
prominent members leading the revolt
against the administration forces
brought every effort to bear against
the bill. Representative Sims, the au-
thor. was one of the days speakers.
Sims Charges Bad Faith.
In his speech Representative Sims,
father of the Panama canal tolls re.
peal bill, argued that the United
States will act ir bad faith If ii ex.
empts coastwise shipping.
THE very fact that the eoastwise
shipping interests made no claim that
their ships were not included in the
equal treatment terms of the Hay
Pauncefote treaty pending the nego-
tiations of the treaty" he said, "or
subsequent thereto is the highest cir
cumstantial evidence that they did not
so understand the terms of the treaty
themselves"
why should not nations as well as
individuals be governed by the Gold
en- Rule?" he pleaded. How are we
to build up our foreign trade If we at
the same time so demean ourselves
toward other nations as to give them
cause to complain that we are selfish
and greedy; that we are a driver Of
hard bargains; that we are narrow,
illiberal and picayunish"
