BRYAN EXPLAINS
TOLLS QUESTION
SECRETARY OF STATE BRYAN De.
FENDS THE REPEAL OF THE
EXEMPTION CLAUSE.
DEFENDS THE PRESIDENT
In Lengthy Statement Mr.. Bryan De
tends the Policy Pursued by
President in Tolls Fight.

Neutrality-suspicious. Bryan In a
statement lengthily reviews the Pan
anna tolls questions, and in the course
of the statement declares that the re-
peal of the tolls exemption in the
Panama canal act cannot be con-
strued to be a construction of the Hay
Pauncefote treaty." but is "simply a
refusal On the part of the United
States to raise that question in that
way"
Mr.. Bryan discusses various features
of the subject-the limiting of debate
in the house of representatives, the
Baltimore platform and the effect OF
repeal on the treaty.
Claiming that the opponents of the
repeal had seized upon the charge
that the president was "surrender1ng
to England" Mr. Bryan declared that
the opposition to the repeal had at
tempted to appeal to "prejudice rather
than to reason
what has Great Britain done,'' he
asked, ito justify the accusation that
she is trying to dictate to this coun-
try? She has simply called attention
to the terms of the treaty, and asked
for arbitration of the question Of con-
struction, in case this government diff
fers from the British government in
the construction to be placed upon the
language. The very men who are SO
insistent upon constituting the treaty
to permit free tolls delayed for months
the ratification of the treaty with
Great Britain because of their OppOsi-
ton to any arbitration of the subject.
In other words, they construed the
treaty to permit discrimination, and
then objected to allowing any interna-
tional court to express an opinion on
the subject. If, as a matter of fact,
the treaty grants the rights which
Great Britain claims, is it a surrender
to Great Britain for our nation to re-
peal a law that raised that question?
The repeal Of the law cannot be con-
strued to be a construction of the
treaty. 1t is simply a refusal on the
part of the United States to raise that
question in that way. In the contro-
versy over the Welland canal, Canada
withdrew a discrimination which she
had made in favor of Canadian ships,
in order that no cause for friction
with the United States authorities in
regard to the matter should exist
Why canot the United States with
draw a discrimination for the same
reason? When the treaty involved was
before the senate for ratification an
attempt was made to so amend it as
to permit a discrimination in favor of
coastwise vessels, but it was voted
down by a decided majority. With this
record to support them, is it strange
that foreign nations question our right
to make an exception in favor of
American vessels?"

RESERVE BOARD
ISSUES STATEMENT
COMMITTEE OVERWHELMS DIS
GRUNTLED CITIES WITH AVA
LANcHE OF FIGURES.
REPLY MADE TO CRITICISMS
Atlanta Was the Favorite of the Ma
jority of the Banks Asking for
Membership.

Washington.-Reply for the first
time to the criticism vented upon them
by the disappointed cities of New Or
leans, Washin gton and Baltimore, the
federal reserve bank organization com
! mittee gave out formal statement.
Quoting from the official records in
the comptrollers office the committee
showed that the Atlanta member
banks, which we're mainly national
banks, had more capital and surplus,
more loans and discounts and more
individual depositors than either Dal-
las or New Orleans.
More significant even than this SUI.
perior showing for last month was
the tremendous advance shown to
have been made by the Atlanta banks
in ten years. The national banks OF
Atlanta increased their capital and
surplus between September, 1904, and
March, 1914, 256 per cent; Dallas, 12O
per cent, and New Orleans only per
cent.
Particular attention was given to the
committees reasons for choosing At
lanta, Ca, and Dallas, Texas, in pref
erence to New Orleans; for selecting
Richmond, Va, instead of Baltimore,
and for naming Kansas City instead of
Denver, Colo, Omaha or Lincoln, Neb.
| The committee called attention to the
fact that since thirty-seven cities were
applicants and only twelve named,
twenty-five had to be disappointed.
with so many conflicting claims, -
said the statement, "somebody had to
judge. Congress constituted the com
mittee court and gave the federal re-
serve board the power to review. Dis
appointed competitors should seek a
remedy through the ordinary process
the law prescribes.

ECONOMIC SIDE OF REPEAL
Senate Committee, Considering Mat.
ter Excludes, Questions of obi.
cations.

Washington.-The economic side Of
the Panama Canal tolls controversy
occupied the Senate Inter-oceanic
Canals Committee to the virtual eX.
clusion of the treaty obligations in
volved and neither aspect was in evil
dence elsewhere about Congress. At
the White House, however, President
Wilson reaffirmed his belief that re-
peal of the exemption from tolls grant
ed to American coastwise ships would
not constitute an Interpretation OF
the Hay-Pauncefote treaty, but mere
ly would indicate the unwillngness Of
this country to bring up the question
OF discrimination.
The President agreed with the
views recently expressed by Secretary
Bryan that no amendment was neces
sary to the pending repeal bill, re-
affirming the sovereignty of the Unit
ed States over the canal.

WILSON FOR LOCAL OPTION
President Doesn't Believe Prohibition
Should Be Part of Politics.

should be Fart OF POLITICS..
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. Wilson is
for local option on the liquor question
and does not believe prohibition
should be made a part of a party pro-
gram. Since the order of Secretary
Daniels was issued prohibiting the
use of liquor by officers in the navy,
persons in position to obtain the
presidents views have learned that he
will stand by his letter written in
May, 1911, while governor of New
Jersey, to the Rev. Thomas B. Shan
non of Newark, N. J., in which he
said:
81 am in favor of local option. l
am a thorough believer in local self
government, and believe that every
self-governing community which con-
stitutes a social unit should have the
right to control the matter of the regu-
lation or the withholding of licenses
But the questions involved are social
and moral and are not susceptible of
being made parts of a party program"
Secretary Daniels told friends the
purpose of his order was in no way
to give a political aspect to the sub
ject of prohibition or to commit the
national administration, but only to
promote efficiency in the navy. The
president looks on the order as a de-
partmental matter, Secretary Daniels
having acted on his own initiative.

COLOMBIAN TREATY SIGNED
UNITED STATES AND COLOMBIA
DIPLOMATS SIGN IMPORTANT
DOCUMENT AT BOGOTA.
@25, 100000 PAID South American coun.
try for it's Interest in Panama
Canal Zone.

Bogota, Colombia. treaty be-
tween the United States and Colon
bia settling the Panama controversy,
was signed at the state department of
Colombia by the American minister,
Thaddeus A. Thomson, and represen-
tatives of the Colombian government.
The ceremony of signing the treaty
was an impressive one. The American
minister was accompanied by the sec
rotary of the legation, Leland Harri-
son. The Colombian signatories were
the Colombian minister of foreign af-
fairs, Francisco Jose Urrutia, and
members of the advisory committee,
Marco Fidel Suarez, first vice president
of the republic; Nicholas Esguerra,
former minister of state; Senator Jose
Maria Valencia, Senator Rafael Tribe
and Antonio Jose Tribe, president of
the house of representatives.
The signing of this treaty is looked
on here as a mOmentOus event in the
history of the foreign relations of Co.
1Ombia and marks new era for her
future. It is pointed out by those sup
porting the treaty that the friendship
of the government and the people of
the United States is of incalculable
value.
Misunderstanding of the treaty
of Bogota was the outcome of nego-
tiations that had been in progress
since soon after President Wilson took
office.
Details of the agreement have not
been made public in Washington.

Washington.-Free use of the Pana-

ships and navy supply vessels is pro-
posed in the new treaty between the
United States and Colombia signed
at Bogota to seal the breach between
the two countries over the separation
of Panama. Secretary Bryan announc-
ed with the explanation that the clause
in the convention was Identical with
one in the Colombian treaty negotiat-
ed by Secretary Root in 1909, with the
approval of Great Britain and ratified
by the United States senate though
never accepted by Colombia.
