ENGLAND FIGHTING CANAL
FA|RF0R SPITE, ANDREWS,
HOME FROM TOUR, says

That England apparently is doing
everything in her power to harm the
Panama Exposition and is using her
influence among the other nations of
Europe to prevent them from par
tlcipating in the big celebration next
year in San Francisco was the firm
opinion expressed Monday noon by
Walter P. Andrews on his return to
Atlanta from an extended trip abroad.
Mr.. Andrews was one of the mem
oers Of the commission appointed by
President Wilson to visit the Europe
an nations and obtain. their at
tendance at the exposition. The tour
was a remarkable success, but
through it all Mr.. Andrews said that
the opposition of England and Ger
many was felt. Mr. Andrews was
asked what generally was regard ed
as the animus for England's hos
tility.
England seems peeved at us for
some reason" he replied. Exactly
the cause of this feeling might be
alficult to determine. From what I
was able to learn, however, it was
the fact that the United States has
proposed to exercise its rights and
exempt its own domestic shipping
from tolls in passage through the
Panama Canal
Knocking" Fair for Spite.
Great Britain appears to be
knocking the exposition as an act
of reprisal Through all of our work
we encountered this sinister influ-
ence, In many quarters we heard
talk of compact between England
and Germany to ignore the eXposi-
ton. Whether there exists such a
pact, it is certain that these two coun-
tries are doing their utmost to harm
the project.
AN undercurrent of ill-feeling to-
ward the exposition exists in Eng
land. The general belief is that il
has been aroused because Uncle Sam
did not at once submit to England s
demand that American shipping in
the domestic service be penalized by
tolls along with foreign shipping
Il am happy to say, however, that
this influence was not strong enough
TO prevent the success of the com
mission The results We're better
than we had anticipated. We were
met on every hand by inquiries about
England's stand. OFFICIALS Of other
nations would ask us why England
was not going to be represented, and
1t was necessary for us to enter into
long explanations
Four Nations Plan Exhibits.
France, Greece, Turkey and Bull
garia gave us straight-out promises
that they would be represented and
would build pavilions. The paviliOns
were a feature for which we We're
especially eager. We desired that ev-
erv country erect a building which
should be typically representative.
"Roumania, Servia Portugal and
Spain before our visit had declined to
participate in the exposition, but at
our request reopened consideration Of
the matter. As a result Roumania,
Portugal and Spain have changed
their decisions and probably all will
build pavilions. Servia is hardly eN-
pected to attend, but without her we
obtained seven of the eight nations
that we set out to visit. We also Wis
tied Italy unofficially."
Mr.. Andrews was met at the Ter
minal Station by large convoy Of
brother Elks who gave him a riOtous
greeting and hurried him away to the
Elks' Home where he entertained
them with interesting incidents of his

man, a negro, found it such a difficult
matter to commit suicide that it is
now thought he has abandoned his
efforts in that direction.
After drinking a bottle of iodine, he
jumped into a well. Friends let down
a rope, but he refused to catch hold,
so graphing hooks were attached
Three times the hooks caught in his
clothing and he was hauled almost to
the top, only to have his clothing give
way and drop him back. He remained

was too shallow to drown him.
In the morning a negro entered the

Pretty Italian Miss
Learns to Write So She
Can Sign the License

When pretty Mamma Merini, an ar
rival from Naples of but week or
ten days, was told that she would have
to sign her own name to the applica-
tion for marriage license, she pouted
and declared her friends were just
teasing her because, she hadn't mas
tered the language of the American
ver' well.
When Antonio Puccarella, her
tiance, took her aside one evening and
explained the custom of the land of
their adoption, she grew very serious
and decided to study how to write.
She made her first attempt to-day
when she appeared with Antonio for
the license - and blushingly and
proudly signed her name.
Mamma Is 30; her husband 7o-be is

legally separated from his first wife
by the Allegheny county courts in

LEWIS WITHDRAWAL
STARTS G0SS|PERS'
Plainly lntimated That He Is Dis
gusted With the Progress
sive Leaders

Philadelphia, Jan. 5.-The retire
ment of William Draper Lewis, dean
of the University of Pennsylvania law
school, as chairman of the council of
the Progressive League is believed to
indicate a most serious break in the
lines of the Washington party in
Pennsylvania. Dean Lewis has ex-
planned his resignation by saying that
his duties at the law school COM
PEELED him to give up the executive
work which the craftsmanship en-
tailed, but 1t Is believed there is some
thing more than this back of his re-
tirement. He had been frequently
mentioned as the candidate of the
Progressives for Governor and was
believed to have the backing of Colonel
Roosevelt and William Finn, but GER
tain changes have come about which
led to the report that a man from
this end of the State will be chosen
to lead the third party movement.
At conference of the Washington
party leaders in Harrisburg next week
some details of the plans for the year
will probably leak out. Senator Clapp,
of Minnesota, and Senator Poindexter,
OF Washington, have been invited to
attend the conference and impart
some ginger. Men and women of the
Progressive school will attend, as
there must be reorganization Of the
party's working forces.
Among prominent Progressives in
this city and throughout Western
Pennsylvania there Is a growing feel
ing that the third party movement is
doomed to disaster and many promi-
nent Republicans who supported
Colonel Roosevelt have announced
their intention to line up with the old
party. 1t is also pointed out that such
Progressive leaders as United States
Senator Bristow, of Kansas, and other
Progressives in Nebraska and else
where are getting back into line as
fast as possible. Senator Bristow de-
clared recently he believed "the rank
and file of the Republican party fairly

F'our-year- David Wollenstein, OF

death by poison last night by physi-

some. His mother found him uncon-

pumped from his body and he was
given stimulants he was sent home.
