TO AMEND CANAL ACT
MEASURE IN SENATE TO REPEAL
CLAUSE ExEMPTlNG AMER
ICAN SHIPPING.
SMITH ATTACKS PRESIDENT
Senator Criticizes Wilson Because of
His Attitude on Canal Tolls in View
of Democratic Platform-Other
Comments on Message.

Washington, March 7.-On Thurs
day after President Wilson had called
upon congress to act, Senator Chiffon
of West Virginia introduced a bill to
amend the Panama canal act and per-
NIT the repeal of the clause exempting
American coastwise shipping from the
payment of tolls. The text of the Pro-
vision reads:
THE president Notwithstanding
anything herein contained is hereby
authorized and empowered by procla-
nation to make, suspend, alter,
change, or abolish any tolls contem-
plated or provided for by this act,
and may prescribe tolls to be charged
in any case in which tolls are pro-
hibited herein"
Comment upon the presidents mes
sage among members of the house
was widely divergent. Representative
Floyd of Arkansas of the Judiciary
committee, said:
Il absolutely approve of the senti-
ment expressed by President Wilson.
We made great mistake in ever pro-
viding for free tolls"
Representative Doremus of Micht-
gan, chairman of the Democratic con-
gressional campaign committee, said:
THE president has not changed my
mind bit. I have been for free tolls
all along and will continue the fight
against any repeal"
Representative Mondell of Wyom-
ing. Republican, declared:
Il have taken the same position on
canal tolls as the president now so
belatedly takes, but l fear that it is
not SO much the logic of economics
nor the meaning of the language OF
the treaty that has convinced the
president as the fact that to recover
from the mistake in politics which
he has made as to Mexico he is will
ing to conform to a policy in Panama
approved by British craftsmanship"
Representative Kahn of California
Republican, said:
"One thing appears to me evident:
That is that we are called upon to
retrieve the mistake of the admins
tration in it's dealings in Mexico where
British interests have been seriously
affected by sacrificing In Panama an
other interest of vital consequence
to our people"
In the senate Senator William
Alden Smith made an attack on Presi-
dent Wilson because eof his attitude
on canal tolls in view of the Demo
cratic platform declaration

HITS AT THE TARIFF
LOUISIANA SEEKS U. S. COURT
AID TO COLLECT SUGAR DUTY.
Gulf State Asks Injunction to Prevent
Assessing the 60 Per Cent
Duty.

Washington, March 5.-Louisiana on
Tuesday asked leave of the Supreme
court of the United States to file q
suit for Injunction against Secretary
of the Treasury McAdoo and Assist
ant Secretary Of the Treasury Ham
lin to. prevent them from assessing
duty of only so per cent. of the Ding
ley tariff rate on sugar imported from
Cuba and ordering them to collect
duty Of 80 per cent. of such duty on
Cuban sugar.
The suit is aimed at the validity OF
the free sugar section of the Under
wood tariff law. The court took the
request under advisement. Former
Senator Joseph W. Bailey Of Texas is
counsel for the state, which is acting
in the interest of the sugar cane grow
ers
Under the Cuban reciprocity treaty.
Cuban sugar received q 20 per cent.
preferential under the Dingley rates.
Under the Underwood tariff law, re-
duction of rs per cent. in the rates
assessed upon all sugar was made.
Louisian claims that the law making
the Cuban reciprocity treaty effective
never has been repealed and that the
McAdoo calculations are unlawful.
The treasury now is collecting upon
Cuban sugars a duty Of 1.01 cents per
pound, whereas Louisiana claims the
lawful duty should be 1.25 cents per
pound.

CARRANZA ASKS QUIZ
REBEL LEADER DIRECTS BENTON
INQUIRY BE MADE.
Takes Action After Conference With
Constitutionaiist Cabinet - Brit
ain Friendly to United States.

NOgales, Sonora, March 5.-General
Carranza appointed a commission to
investigate the death of w. S. Benton,
a British subject, after long session
of his cabinet Tuesday. 1t was said
that no change had been made in Car
ranzas stand that the death of Benton
should be taken up by the British gov
eminent and not by Washington au-
thorities.
Washington, March 5.-Great Brit
aims pronouncement through Sir Ed
ward Grey that the United States was
in no way responsible for the execu-
tion of William S. Benton and that the
American government would not be
asked to resort to force as result of
that tragedy at Juarez was the chief
factor in the Mexican situation and
served to relieve the tension Tuesday.
In addition to saying that Great
Britain would not ask the United
States to use force to avenge the exc
cution Of the British subject, Sir Ed
ward told the house of commons that
Great Britain would not employ force
or send troops into Mexico. Neverthe-
less, Great Britain would not let the
execution go unavenged It would
wait until 1t could obtain reparation
in its own legitimate way.
President Wilson, in a conference
with Sir Cecil Spring-Rice, British am.
bassador, and Sir Lionel Garden, Brit
ish minister to Mexico. is understood
to have expressed his approval and
appreciation of the friendly sentiments
uttered by the British foreign secre-
tary.
1t is clear that the Benton incident
has developed an intention on the part
of the American government to take a
more aggressive attitude toward the
contending factions in Mexico.

GIVEN A DRINK ON
TRAIN, MIND GONE
Woman Who Is Placed Un-
der Arrest Unable to
Recall Name.
STORY READS LIKE FICTION
Well Dressed and Apparently Highly
Educated Woman Thinks, as Well
as She Can Remember, That
She Was Victim of At
tempted Kidnapping.

Springfield. - Unable to remem-
Der her name, her home or the
names of her father and mother, and
believing that she was the victim of
an attempt to kidnap her, well
dressed and apparently highly edu-
Gated woman was placed in the county
Jail by Deputy Sheriff Foster Land
aker.
Attention was directed to the wom-
an when she was seen in and 10
cent store inquiring of various persons
what her maybe was. Coroner Howard
Austin was supmoned while in the
store and the sheriff's Office was no
titled.
Recalls One Detail.
The only detail of her life which
the woman can recall is that she has
been in rescue work and has acted as
a missionary, evidently in the slums.
She said that the church for which
she worked was a Methodist church,
and that it was large stone building.
The efforts of the woman to recall her
identity are pitiful. She asked the at
taches at the jail not to think that she
was always this way"
As much of her story as she is able
to recall reads like fiction. The wom-
an remembers being either upon an
electric or steam train. She recalls
engaging in conversation with wom-
an who sat in seat in front of her.
Drinks, Then Falls Asleep.
After talking for while the strange
woman asked her if she would like to
have drink of water She replied in
the affirmative, and the woman went
to the front of the car and returned
with cup Of water in paper vessel.
"A short time after this l fell
asleep" sobbed the woman 81 remem-
Der the woman wanting me to go to
Columbus with her."
That her brother is member of the
state legislature was another alleged
feature of her life which the woman
recalls. She said that during the food
last spring Gov. Cox allowed her
brother to leave his duties and go to
the rescue of the flood sufferers.

Unless City Auditor r. S. Sweet, of
Bowling Green, can present evidence
to Secretary of State Charles H.
Graves tending to show moral turpi-
tude on the part of the members of
the Wood county board of elections,
his petition for their dismissal will
likely be ignored. This was the posi-
tion taken by Mr.. Graves after an in
formal hearing before him. The
charges of misfeasance, malfeasance
and misconduct grew out of the ac-
tion of the board in denying to the
Citizens ticket a place. on the ballot
in the municipal election in Bowling
Green in the November election. The
whole matter grows out of personal
bitterness in the politics of Wood
county, where rival factions are at
each others throats. No wilful in
tent to violate the law has been
shown

however, that he had been greatly dis
satisfied with the management of the
state department under Secretary of
