today by the police in an effort to
clear up the murder last night of Will

Jones' cafe, a notorious resort in the
redlight district.
A woman, described as young and
pretty, was with Franche and Woods

no trace has been found of her today.
The murder followed a quarrel over
woman's suffrage.
Jones admitted to reporters that a
shooting had occurred in his cafe, but
denied he knew a man had been kill

men were heard to engage in an angry
argument. Franche became enraged

drawn a revolver and fired, the bullet
piercing Woods heart.

pending the settlement of the status
Of the alley between the Charles Wool

Support to President Dur

Wilson's Request.
TREATY GIVES RIGHT
TO ENGLAND'S CLAIM
Massachusetts, SolOn Serves
Notice Only Death Will
Prevent Opposition to Sec
Ond Term.

WASHINGTON, April 9.-The SEN
ate battle over the Panama tolls re-
peal bill is on. Hearings were opened
before the committee on interoceanic
canals when senators appeared to ex-
plain and defend the measures they
have introduced to dispose Of the tolls
problem in a manner different from
the Sims repeal bill which passed the
house.
While the committee proceeded with
the hearing, which will continue for
fifteen days, or possibly longer, Sena-
tor Henry Cabot Lodge, of Massachu-
setts, delivered the first of a series of
speeches in which Republican sena-
tors will endorse the presidents ac-
tions.
The senator declared, however, that
the Hay-Pauncefote treaty was not a
barrier to exemption of American ships
from the payment of tolls, and this
point was Immediately noted by op-
ponents of repeal.
Right to Exempt.
81 am of the opinion that under the
Hay-Paunceforte treaty we have legal
right to exempt our own vessels, no
matter what trade they are engaged
in," said the senator. THE existence
of right and its exercise are two
different things. Either as individu-
ais or as nation we may possess GER
tain undoubted rights any yet it might
we'll be that it would be the height
of unwisdom to exercise them. In this
case it would appear to me that it
would be most unwise to exercise the
right of exempting our own vessels
from the tolls simply because we have
the right to do so.
The declaration that the United
States has the right to exempt it's
vessels from tolls, no matter in what
trade they may be engaged, was of
vast Importance, because Senator
Lodge had charge of the Hay-Paunce-
fote treaty during its course through
the senate, and is accredited with
knowing as well as any man knows,
precisely the consideration that led to
it ratification and the decisions that

Three street flusher companies to-
day submitted bids to the board of
public works, but no flusher will be
purchased by the city until all the
machines have been inspected and
the board will then select the one it
believes will give the best service.
The Studebaker Corporation, South

The St Louis Sanitary Street Flush

as yet the company has not invited

company invited the board to inspect
