PUBLICITY FOR
 TOLL DISCUSSION
COMMITTEE ON lNTEROCEANlC CANALS DECIDES TO HOLD
 HEARINGS IN PUBLIC.
Administration Leaders Urging the
 Committee to Hasten It's Considera- ton of the Bill.

Washington, April 6.-Publicity for the deliberations on the Panama toll exemption repeal was determined upon today by the senate committee on interoceanic canals which tomor- row will begin consideration of the controversy in all it's aspects.
 Senator O'Gorman, chairman of the committee, decided upon open ses- sions at the outset after a conference with his colleagues. Whether hear ings are to be held has not been de cided, but this will be determined when the house repeal bill and vari- ous compromise senate measures are taken up formally. How long the committee will deliberate on the issue before making a report to the senate no one would predict tonight, but administration leaders let it be known that any effort to prolong the preliminary consideration would be opposed even to the extreme of nov ing to discharge the committee from consideration of the subject.
 Senator OGorman. leading demo crat opponent of the repeal and others who join with him in the fight, still insist, however, that there wal he no effort to delay in committee, When the issue reaches the floor ol the senate various forces at work to complicate the situation make it i'm possible that vote can be reached for several weeks.
 Senator McCumber, republican, or North Dakota, member of the for eign relations committee, who stead fastly refuses to join the party op- position to President Wilson's policy addressed the senate at length today in support of the repeal bill. He l flatly declared that toll exemption 1 for American ships was a violation of the -Pauncefote treaty and l CONTINUED ON PAGE EIGHT.

Memphis, Appril 6.--Nine men lost their lives today and nine others mar rowly escaped a like fate when a shaft leading to the underground workings on the foundation for the Harahan railroad bridge being con structed across the Mississippi river here became filled with poisonous gases Eight of those suffocated were descending the shaft to take their places in caisson, ninety feet below the surface. and the ninth man, Peter Watson, a watChman, lost his life in an attempt to rescue his comrades. Those rescued were at work in compartment adjoining the gas-filled shaft. They were hauled to the surface through an opening used to send material to the work men.
 All of tie dead were white mon. Those rescued are negroes.
 The dead:
 Peter Watson, Liberty Ind.
 A. Winker, Chicago, John Clayton, St. Paul, Minn.
 A. w. Johnson, Brooklyn.
 P. J. Farrell, Kansas City.
 Mike Burke, Providence, k. l.
 Thomas Leonard. John King.
 Jack Powers. /
 The places of residence of the three last named could not be ascer- tained.
 Divers, protected from the poison ous fumes by their armor recovered all of the bodies.
 Officials of the company construct ing the bridge stated tonight that they had been unable so far to defi' nitely determine the cause of the gas , formation. A physician who exam ined the bodies stated that they bore evidence of carbon-monoxide poison ing which might have been formed | through the burning of the oakum ] and rubber lining on top of the cais- son, the fumes penetrating into the shaft Another surmise was that a deposit of marsh gas" was pene trated in making the excavations.

 "I possess a deep admiration for the American people and hold in great personal esteem President Woodrow Wilson and Secretary of State Bryan. I know they are men of the very highest mentality as well as moral and political aims, and for that reason I think that their friend ship toward Mexico and the sym pathy evinced for the principles of the Mexican constitutionaiists are not only sincere, but entirely disin- terested, and are the result of the existing harmony between the aims of the cause which I have the honor to represent and the ideals of Ameri. can democracy.

 'T sincerely regret that incidents of an international character should have given rise to an interpretation not entirely in accordance with my real attitude as chief of the consti- tutionalists. l have striven 10 place myself in the legitimate light de served by the high aims of our party without overlooking the cordial sug- gestions which were offered me within the attitude just expressed, neither evading responsibility nor ignoring diplomatic customs and usage.
 "ln pursuance of this attitude, all representations and matters called to our attention by the United States in an unofficial way have in the past received our prompt attention and assure you that hereafter the same attention will be given to all repre- sentations and matters presented to us through the United States in be- half of other nations in conformity with international diplomatic usage and custom, notwithstanding the fact that we always have deemed it pre- ferable to avoid responsibility being thrust upon the United States by other powers as a result of it's atti- tude toward the political conditions now existing in the republic of Mexico.
 @In accordance with the views above expressed. I repeatedly have stated and now reiterate that am at all times disposed to give attention, for instance, to foreign representa- tions brought to my attention through the officers of American rep resentatives, provided, of course, that we are notified that such media ton is at the request of such power.
 "I can conceive no better evidence of tue spirit of friendship which we bear towards the United States than our willingness to receive unofficial representations and claims made by uhe United States government in re- gard to all matters concerning it's citizens within the republic of Mex ico I must, however, call your atten- tion to the fact that we could not without sacrificing our hard-fought- for prestige, consider representations made through the good offices of the United States in behalf of foreigners unless we be previously informed that such meditation has been re- quested of the United States by the interested nation"

the taxes and revenues on
the liquor traffic butt
who ultimately pays these
taxes but the poor people
who are the least able to do
so?
The sooner this state and
other wet states join the
ranks of the dry the sooner
will congress pass the Shep-

vides for a nationwide pro-

As long as people have
always been drinking, and
can't do without liquor even
If prohibition does come In,
the best way to handle liq-
uor is to license a man just
like having a hunting and
fishing license, and each
time a man goes to a saloon
for a drink he must show
his license. If he fails to
show his license the drink is
refused him, and should the
saloon-keeper sell him any
liquor without his having a
license the saloon-keeper
should be punished by law.
And If a man fails to sup
port his wife and neglects
his home duties, his wife
can report him to the audi
tor or clerk or police chief
and his license will be taken
away and he can't drink any
more.
