~ 80 p. ; thursday. The president
has pre- 4 brief address in which
he set % IN his opinion that con-
gress $ Id reverse itself and keep
the atoms of the Hay-Paunce-
fote tre-ty, which, he believes, were
violated by the Panama canal act.
The president holds that national
honor is a. stake and that European
nations should not be allowed to be-
lieve treaties made by the American
government are not adhered to both
in letter and in spirit. The exemp-
ton clause, he pointed cut, was pass
ed on the assumption that while the
Hay-Pauncefote treaty guarantees
equal treatment to all nations in the
matter Of tolls, the document was TO
| be interpreted as meaning all nations
except the United States.
The president believes there should
be no debatable ground on treaties
once made. Originally he had not
intended to deliver a message on this
subject. He had conferred with SEN
atorS and members of the house and
sentiment in favor of the repeal ap-
peared to him to be strong. Some
leaders however, were Of the opinion
that international phases of the situa-
ton should be emphasized in q COM
munication from the president to con-
gresS to impress upon those who had
voted for the exemption previously
the necessity of changing their votes.
regardless of any domestic question
, involved.
Since the tolls question was before
congress last the president has told
senator's that Europeans generally
we're taking the view that the United
states had violated the Hay-Paunce-
fote treaty
The governments Of the world, he
made it clear, were beginning to be-
lieve the United States was not sin
cere In construction OF treaties.
The message to congress will open
thc fight in earnest. Senator O'Gor-
man, chairman Of the inter-oceanic
canals committee, is expected to op-
pose the presidents view. Lately it
has been said majority of the COM
mittee would favor a repeal. The
, White House IS confident the repeal
viii be passed, Republicans joining
Democrats in making the change.
! Sir Cecil Spring Rice, the British
ambassador, discussed the Mexican
situation with the president tonight,
but White House officials said the
canal tolls subject was not mentioned.

WORK TO REMOVE SNOW.
THOUSANDS OF NEW YORK

Trains Run Late, Though Tracks arc
Kept Open for Regular Service
Fresh Supplies of Food Short.

New York, March 3.-Eew York
partly dug itself from under its deep
blanket Of snow and ice today and
reestablished something like normal
communication with the outside
world.
Within the city 5000 snow shov-
elers, $500 extra teams, the entire
equipment of the street cleaning de-
partment, millions of gallons of
water for thawing and flushing, about
six hours of warm sunshine and the
cooperation of many citizens and
public service corporations made il
possible on the trunk thorcughfares
to regain a semblancc of normal traf-
iic. Little, however, could be done
on the side streets.
Except in a few cases railroad
tracks leading into the city were
available for regular use, but trains
continued to be late. The Lakewood
Atlantic City express, stalled for Sc
hours in an IS foot snow bank near
Red Bank, n. j., returned with it,
sc passengers to Jersey City late to-
day. Trolley car transportation was
still badly crippled in suburban and
rural districts.
Such perishable food supplies as
milk, butter, eggs, fresh vegetables
and in some cases meat, were still in
short supply, due to disorganiZed
train service and interrupted street
traffic. The same conditions still
hampered coal deliveries
The eight seagoing barges and
their crews reported still in danger
near Fire Island early today, to-
night were proceeding to their des-
tinatiOns, seven of the bages having
been picked up by tugs and the eighth
