HEARINGS TO CLOSE
ON TOLLS REPEAL
Senate Interoceanic Canals
Committee Begins Last Day
for Public Testimony.
COAST TRAFFIC EXPERT
is ONE OF THOSE HEARD
W. H. Wheeler, San Francisco, Fa-
vors Exemption-Dr. Mary
Walker Asks to Speak.

The Senate interoceanic canals COM
mittee began early today what is ex-
pected to be the last day of open hearings
on the Panama canal tolls repeal bill. As
soon as the hearings are closed. the COM
mittee will consider the bill in executive
session, and 1t may be several days be-
fore a report can be decided upon.
1t was said today by member Of the
committee supporting the repeal bill that
there was strong probability that an
amended bill will be reported. The
amendment will state definitely that the
United States does not yield its sover-
eighty over the canal. although repeating
the clause Of the law exempting Ameri-
can coastwise vessels from the payment
of tolls.
1t is not believed however, that any
amendment of the repeal bill will be ac-
ceptable to the President and his sup
porters in the Senate and House probably
will resist any amendment vigorously
The administration will do all in Its
power to get the repeal bill through the
Senate as speedily as possible but at
least a month will be occupied by the
debate in the Senate, 1t is expected. Ulti-
mately the repeal bill is expected to pass.
though perhaps in amended form.
Opposes Repeal Bill.
W H Wheeler of San Francisco,
recognized as traffic expert, today
opposed the repeal bill at the hearing.
He spoke for the Chamber Of Com
merce of San Francisco.
Mr.. Wheeler insisted that the United
States. under the treaty, was entitled
to exempt it's coastwise trade from the
payment of tolls through the canal.
He was closely questioned by Senator
Simmons of North Carolina, supporter
of the repeal bill. as to whether this ex-
empton would not be a discrimination
against Canadian vessels engaging in
coastwise trade through the canal to
American ports. Mr.. Wheeler insisted
listing law Canadian vessels were not
permitted to engage in American coast
wise trade he did not think it would be
a discrimination. He pointed out that
American vessels were not allowed to
engage in Canadian coastwise trade.

fore | could rise from my knees he

furious assault that at first | could

patience that his visit had been quite
unexpected on my part, and that
had asked him to stay overnight only
because he was an old man, and had
had a long walk from his parish.
Pm much obliged to your rever-
ence," said my husband, who was
quivering with fury, but my wife
is perfectly capable of answering for
herself without your assistance. and
as for your parish you would have
done better to stay there instead Of
coming to NEEDLE i'm this one"
Aren't you measuring me by your

busybody who polIes his nose into

my house TO make MISCHIEF between

Are you sure" said Father Dan,
that some woman isn't in your Mouse
already making mischief between
wife and husband?"

husband looked at me with flashing
eyes and then said;
"As | thought, You've been sent
to help my wife to make great to-
w VI li0i lllidS llldIN grievances,
You're to stay in the house too, and

down his gathering anger, but he
only said:
Say no more my lord No true
priest ever comes between a man and
the wife whom God has given him.
It's his business to unite people, not
to put them apart As for this dear
child. ! have loved her since she was
an infant in arms, and never so much
as at the present speaking. so | don't

up like a wounded lion, but it's not
