MASKED MEN DRIVE
WOMAN FROM HOME

ABERDEEN, Wash, Jan. 13.-
Driven from her homestead. IL miles
from here, by a masked band of 16
men, Mrs. Margaret NJ. Ross. well
known democratic politician. sent an
appeal to Governor Ernest Lister for
protection and announced that she
and her family would return to her
home as soon as she receives assur-
ances from the autohorities that she
the account told by Mrs Ross. the 16
men, all masked and armed forced
their way into the house, removed her
and her two sons and after setting
fire to the place, drove them L. miles
and ordered them not to return un-
der penalty of death.
The trouble began some time ago,
when Mrs Ross right to the claim
was denied. Her two sons were then
accused of assaulting a neighbor for
alleged slander OF their mother, leav-
ing him for dead on the road. They
were tried and convicted on an as
sault charge. but succeeded in getting
new trial. A bitter feud in the
neighborhood resulted.
Mrs. Ross was democratic eandi-
date for state representative from
Chehalis county in the fall of 1912.
and stumped the state in the interest
of the democratic ticket. Mrs. Ross
gained prominence in the campaign
by making addresses which. while os-
tensibly in aid of the democratic
ticket, were bitter attacks on the per-
sonal habits and character of Theo-
dore Roosevelt. The democratic state
central committee withdrew its en-
dorsement and her campaign speech
es were cut short. The incident gave
her a good deal of prominence in

QUICK TO FIX.
 RATE ON TOLLS Snappy Methods Employed to Fix Rates on Tolls
 Charged Vessels.
WILL SHORTEN ROUTES
Vessels Bound for New York to West Coast of 5. X. Will Have Voyage
 Greatly Shortened.
By Jonathan Winfield.

Washington, March 21-The adage that time is money" never has been more forcibly illustrated that in the methods employed to fix the rate of tolls which shall be charged vessels passing through the Panama canal. There are numerous elements enter in into the rate of 1.20 per net register ton which has been proclaimed, but chief among these elements is the question of time.
 South America has long been a barrier to more than half the com merce of the world. Ships have used the route around the southern tip of South America for centuries, freight has been transhipped by railroad and mule across the Isthmus of Panama for half a century and for nearly as long a time, freight has been tran shipped across the Isthmus of Te- hauntepec, the lower tapering stretch of Mexico. But of all effective de- vices to overcome the natural obstacle of the South American continent, the Panama canal promises to be most ef- fective.. It will shorten most of the commercial routes of the world. The nations of the earth have been linked more closely together.
 Vessels bound from New York to the west coast of South America will have their voyage shortened greatly. A vessel bound from New York to Val paraiso, Chile, will save S,747 miles by, using the canal. A freighter mak- on that trip. A vessel bound to Cal

lao. far north on the coast of South America, and therefore a shorter dis tance from New York as the crow flies, will save 6,250 miles or 2S days for a 9-knot vessel Ships bound from New York to San Francisco will save 36 days; from Liverpool to Valparaiso, IS days from New York to Mel bourne, 12 days; from Liverpool to Melbourne, days; from New York to Yokohama, 1G days; from Liverpool to Singapore, 31 days.
 Professor Emory Johnson, in pre- pairing report on the subject of tolls, made complete distance tables showing not only the actual miles that would be saved vessels using the Panama canal, but the time in hours that yes sells of different speeds would save.
 An exhaustive inquiry among steam ship owners revealed the fact that it {; costs about 10 cents per day net reg ister ton to move modern freight
 
 sheets were examined the operating cost was found to be nearly 10 cents per net ton per day in all instances and the e',eral average ascertained is almost exactly 10 cents.
 Having found these different ele- ments, the fixing of tolls became ! matter of arithmetic. Obviously, if it costs 10 cents per day to move net register of ocean freight, the ship owner can afford to pay 10 cents to save days operation The ship sail in from New York to Valparaiso, sav- ing 17 days steaming time, could af ford to pay $170 for the privilege of passing through the Panama canal. A higher toll would make it cheaper, so far as this single element is concern ed, for the vessel to adhere to the old Cape Horn or Straits of Magellan route. Consequently there is a limi- taton on the amount of tolls which can be collected Out of the greataverage of savings, it was found that the greatest amount of shipping probably would be attract ed to the Panama canal by a toll slightly in excess of $1 per ton and the exact rate of $1.2G, subject to change by presidential order, finally was de- cided upon.
 Owing to the greater safety of the Panama route, ship owners will make an additional saving through their ability to purchase insurance at lower rates than when they risk their vessels in the uncertain weather that is en- countered at the Horn. But the main consideration in fixing tolls was the saving of time. So much time saved so much money saved And by the amount of money which the Panama canal will save the shipping of the world the toll finally was fled.
