GERMANY MIGHT
BUILD 4 CANAL
TO RIVAL u. S.
Attempts to Outbid This
Country for Rights in
Nicaragua Revealed
By the Nicaraguan
Minister
URGE THAT S3,000,000
OFFERED NOT ENOUGH

Washington, June 23.-Attempts by Ger
man interests to outbid the United States
for rights to construct an inter-oceanic
canal across Nicaragua were revealed to-
day to the Senate foreign relations COM
mittee by Nicaraguan Minister Chamor-
70. The minister said Germans had urg-
ed that the 100000 offered by the Unit
ed States for canal rights and other con-
cessions was not enough.
Senior Chamorro's statement was re-
ceived with surprise. Some members I'M
derstood him to mean that Germany had
officially approached the Niearaguan gov
eminent and the ministers difficulty in
speaking English prevented his statement
from being entirely clear.
Members of the committee who did not
believe Germany had made any official
suggestions to Nicaragua We're inclined
to the opinion that representatives, of
German bankers were responsible for
anything that had been done. or even
that Nicaragua might not be averse TO
playing the American game of bluff.
1t was recalled tonight that no nation
could expect to build a canal across Mic
aragua to rival that at Panama without
lars, and the opinion was expressed that
Germany hardly would be likely to en-
SAGE In such an enterprise.

CONFERENCE TO AGREE
ON SENATE AMENDMENT

Washington, June 23.-The admins
tration's proposal to sell the battle
ships Idaho and Mississippi to Greece
already approved by the Senate was
passed today by the House by vote
of ia to 81. One Dreadnought will be
built with the proceeds.
The action of the House allows the
House managers in conference to
agree to the Senate amendment, with
altera lions providing specific appro-
priations for the new Dreadnought
which will cost 81 600 exclusive OF
armor and armament. The proposal
provides immediate funds of $685., 00O
to begin work on the vessel as soon
as the sale is eonsummated.
The proposal was agreed to in spite
of the charge by Republicans on the
floor that the sale meant ''entangiing
European alliances and would in
volve the United States in the Balkan
troubles.
Rep. Padgett declared that the ad-
ministration believed the sale of the
two vessels would have a tendency ITO
preserve peace" between the nations
involved and asserted that he knew
of no protest against the sale being
made by either country
Formal protest from Turkey has not
altered the plans of the administra-
ton and the two warships probably
will be in the hands of agents of the
Greek government within a, week.
Final action on the appropriation
bill will be taken in the Senate to-
morrow or Thursday and the measure
will be sent to the President at once
for his signature. AS soon thereafter
as possible Representatives Of the
Newport News Shipbuilding Co. and
Bethlehem Steel Co., who have been
acting as Intermediates in the nego-
tiations, will call at the navy depart
ment and hand to Secretary Daniels
a certified check for about $4,000, 900,
the price agreed upon.

Scilly, Eng, June 23.-The Belgian
steamer Cortland from Montreal for

The Gothland was badly damaged
and all attempts to launch the boats
proved hazardous, owing to the heavy
sea that swept over the rocks. The
first boat fell from the davfts into the
sea and was smashed. The occupants
of the boat were thrown into the wa

was swung out, but with no better
success. Evidently all the passengers,

II COMP ANIES
LIABLE UNDER
COURT DECISION
Intermountain Ruling.
Likely to | n o " e
Many Millions Of Dol
lars in Preparations on
Their Shipping
ESTIMATE AMOUNT AT
ABOUT II MILLIONS

Washington, June 23.-Seventeen
railway companies, constituting trans
continental freight routes, are liable,
under the decision of the United States
supreme court in the so-called inter-
mountain cases for many millions of
dollars in reparation on shipments
made since the institution of the cases.
The precise amount involved in claims
already filed with the Interstate Com
merce Commission has not been esti-
mated but it approximates $12 O00, 600.
Neither in the original order of the
commission nor in the decision of the
supreme court was the question of rep
aration to shippers discussed. From
time to time, however. in the last two
years, petitions setting up claims for
reparation have been submitted to the
commission. All of them have been
held up pending final determination of
the several cases.
1t win be necessary for the COM
mission now to consider the restric-
tions OF the law and to pass upon
them as upon original cases.
