Taft Favors
Position of
Pres. Wilson
Associated Press.

Washington. ID. C., April l6.-The
Panama tolls hearing today before
the senate canal committee brought
out the hitherto unpublished speech
OF former President William Howard
Taft and the correspondence OF
Joseph II. Choate, American am
bassador to London, during the ne
gotiations of the Hay-Pauneefoote
treaty. The Taft speech is said to
have been delivered before the
Canadian club in Ottawa last Janu-
AIRY, and was introduced by Senator
simmons, who said he believed it
authentic. Taft Is quoted as saying;
We will doubtless have to arbi-
trate the matter unless congress re-
verses itself. There are some hot
heads who talk about the right of
the United States to manage the ca
nal in its own way. no matter what
she agreed to. but this is all froth."
Taft explained the idea congress
had in passing the measure and of
his signing it. saying:
when | approved coastwise exemption
that | favored breaking a treaty |
am not in favor of breaking treaties. "
The Choate letter maintained that
treaty should mean exactly what
it says and excludes the possibility
of exemption of any kind of Ameri-
can vessels.

Janifor Thomas Baked in
Plan TO Keep School Closed

Professor Berlin sent a communica-
tion to the Board of Education last
night asking the boards permission to
have the High School opened today, in
view of the fact that all the pennants,
flags, etc, were housed in the school
building which IN, students had pro-
posed TO use in their parade today.
Janitor Thomas claimed he had no
orders to open the school, and unless or
dered to do so he would not open the
doors. DIR. T. o. Cooper, acting as tenn
porary chairman at the board last night,
stated that Professor Berlin should have
applied for permission for the opening
of the school earlier than he did. AS a
result of the controversy the school was
ordered opened this morning.

Marine Thomas, janitor OF the High
School. essayed to keep the school
closed today, Notwithstanding that
the pennants and flags of the stu
dents to be carried in the parade to-
day were stored there and the stu
dents expected to get them during
the morning.
Through the insistence of Principal
Berlin, however, the janitor's auto
cratic stand was overruled by the
Board of Education last night, and
the school was opened today for the
distribution of the parade equip
ment.
Janitor Thomas, when asked to open
the school today to enable the distribu-
tion of parade equipment, said he would
not open the building unless otherwise
ordered to do so.
