DEMOCRATS HARKEN
TO WILSON'S CALL
Panama Canal Tolls Policy OF
Party Platform Likely to Be
Reversed by Caucus.

Clear intimation of the purpose oil
Democratic leaders to reverse them
selves on the Panama canal tolls ques-
ton and yield TO the wishes of the
President is given in a letter which
Senator Stone of Missouri has sent to
Senator Kern. the Democratic leader.
Senator Stone denounces as utterly
puerile" the suggestion that the canal
tolls plank in the Baltimore platform
was Joker" but he defends the pro-
rosal to ignore the plank If the party
should be convinced that "the nation
cannot honorably and in good faith carry
out the policy proclaimed in the plat
form
He declares he thinks there is good
reason to reverse the party policy that
would exempt American cOastwise ves-
sells from payment of tolls, at least
temporarily.
1t appears clear the Democrats In
both House and Senate are to take
similar position in beating a retreat on
the exemption clause in the Panama
canal act.
The Senate Democrats will caucus and
attempt to tie the hands Of Senators
like O'Gorman of New York, unless
they remain out of caucus.

DOUBLE FARE FOR
PULLMAN ROOMS
Railroads to Increase Price
for Single Occupants Under
New Tariff.

Eastern railroads, in an effort to
utilize all available car space in their
Pullman trains, have filed a new
schedule of rates applicable to Pullman
sleepers TO become effective March l,
next, unless suspended by the Inter
state Commerce Commission. Under
the new tariff a double fare will be
charged for single occupancy of a draw
ing room and fare-and-a-half for a
compartment.
BY this order, recently issued by the
Trunk Lines Association, all roads east
of Chicago and north of the Potomac
will put the new rates into effect the
first of the month At the Interstate
Commerce Commission it was said this
afternoon that no protests have yet
been formally filed against the pro-
posed rates.
contend that at present they are
charged full rates by the Pullman Com
pany for drawing rooms and CompaTt-
ments, whether they be occupied by
one or more persons, but they in return
can only demand fares according to the
number of occupants. The new system.
railroad officials say. will conserve car
space, and enable railroads to collect a
proper return for the cars that they
haul
The Pullman company will not benefit
under the new rates, but. on the con-
trary, will be called upon to do more
work. as the tendency will be to fill
drawing rooms and compartments.
Since such is the case it has been sug-
tect to a renewal of contracts on the
existing basis.

Wolf and BarthoIdt Score New
Excise Law at Entertain

In serious and satirical vein. more
than 400 members of the Washington
Saengerbund, who assembled last
night for the annual fools carnival
of that organization, devoted the
principal portion of their time and
attention TO consideration of the new
excise law.
While the majority of the speakers
and merrymakers were content to
poke fun at this legislation, which
has met with the general disapproyal
of the German organizations of the
city, Simon Wolf and Congressman
Richard Bartholdt confined their re-
marks to straightforward arguments.
Mr.. Wolf, declaring that this ma
ton is facing a crucial period in its
history, remarked that If the Ger
mans, the Irish, and the Hebrews,
who, he said, constitute a controlling
power in the population. would get
be enacted. Measures of such nature
as the excise law may be adopted he
added, but they cannot be long-ltved-

the theft.
II is understood that disappearance OF

inG the homeward trip. At the navy
yard an attempt to smuggle the valu-
ables out in an express wagon aroused
the suspicioEs Of the sentry, and a
bundle was sent back aboard ship for
examination. Its contents were identi-
fed by the officers who had been
robbed.
Rumors among the crew are persistent
that one of the engineer officers has
been accused OF the thefts.
