BRITISH INSIST ON :.
KNOWING .CARGOES
Won't Halt Ships if Masters
Confer Before Sailing.

Washington, Dec. 16.-Sir Cecil
Spring-Rice, British ambassador, adj
vised the state department. that his
government is willing to .forego the
exercise of the right of search of yes
sells carrying cargo from American
ports, if the shipmasters will confer
with the British consuls at the ports
of departure and satisfy them as to
the neutral character of their cargoes
Unless this is done cargo ships will
be subject to the ordinary rules of
variegated cargoes of modern ships,
high seas or taken to the nearest Brit
ish port for that purpose if it is i'm
practicable to get at the whole cargo
otherwise. .-- ..s -
Owing to the large dimensions and
varigated cargoes of modern ships,
the ambassador pointed out, it had
been found impracticable in many
cases to conduct searches at sea, con-
sequently many merchant vessels
were diverted far out of their course
into British ports for examination.
Great Britain through Sir Edward
Grey made the positive declaration
that cotton is not contraband or con-
ditional contraband and cablegrams
from the American embassy in Lon.
don said cotton is not being and will
not be stopped on the high seas.

Washington, Dec. 16.-Preparedness
of the United States to defend the
Panama canal in case of war was the
subject of a series of questions put
to Commander Stirling, commanding
the Atlantic fleets submarine flotilla,
at the hearing before the house naval
affairs committee.
The commander expressed the opin.
ion that in addition to the navy a
large mobile army would be required
to protect the canal and keep it open.
Questioned about the Pacific coast
he declared he thought both coasts of
the United States were equally safe
as long as the canal could be kept
open for passage of the feet.
The commanders testimony that
the battleship was the prime factor
in naval defense attracted earnest In,

Washington, D. G., March 81
! Another chapter of the Wilson admins
tration's Constitution OF peace" for the
business world was written yesterday
when an agreed decree" was entered in
the United States district court at
Portland, Ore, in settlement of the anti
trust suit against the Pacific Telephone
/ & Telegraph company, one OF the Ameri-
can Telephone 4 Telegraph company's
biggest subsidiaries.
The list OF antitrust cases thus set
/ tied out of court now includes the
American Telephone & Telegraph reor-
ganization, the New Haven railroad mat
ter and the important case settled yes
terday morning.
| The suit against the so-called Pacific
| telephone combination, consisting of a
number of the Bell companies, was in
stituted last July. II named as defend
ants the American Telephone g. Tele-
graph company, the Pacific Telephone g.
Telegraph company, the Sunset Tele-
phone & Telegraph company, the Pacific
States Telephone g. Telegraph company
and other smaller companies, whose
total capital was estimated at above
$50 600, 900.
The government charged that the de-
PENDANTS had entered into a combination
to monopolize the telephone business of
Idaho, Washington and Oregon through
the purchase of competing exchanges
and methods designed to restrain com

The management of the Bell COM
panies indicated, soon after the an
nouneement of the important agreement
with the department Of justice for re-
organization last December, that it de-
sired if possible peaceable settlement
of the Pacific suit; but some doubt has
been expressed as to the possibility OF
a satisfactory agreement.

AMUSEMENT NOTES.
Howe's Pictures at the Opera House To-
night-"Peg o. My Heart" Saturday.

"How does Howe do it" is the ques-
| ton usually asked by those seeing Ly-
man III. Howe's most recent triumph--a
comprehensive reproduction depicting
details as well as the magnitude of the
gigantic task of constructing the Pan
anna canal. 1t is a natural question to
ask because so many other photograph
ers have tried and failed to do Justice
to the immensely OF the undertaking.
| They found that to record on motion
films how this browning achievement since
the dawn of history was consummated
was as battling as the actual job of Dig
ging the "big ditch" was for the French,
who finally abandoned il in despair But
where others failed to film the immen-
sity of the undertaking, Mr.. Howe has
succeeded in securing the only reproduc-
ton which shows the prodigious project
adequately and in all its phases. Now
that the canal is practically completed,
this reproduction is of course of the
most timely interest, but entirely aside
from this, its Impotence ran never be
denied or over-estimated because it por-
trays what must be considered for cen
turtles to come as the epitome of human
endeavor. The program at the Barre
opera house tonight will include many
other big, new features.--Ady.
"Peg o. My Heart" Saturday.
There are few dramatic offerings that
can boast of two years continuous
run on Broadway, but "Peg o. My
Heart" in which Laurette Taylor is now
appearing for her second uninterrupted
year at the Cort theatre in New York
is one of these. peg o. My Heart" will
be the attraction at the opera house on
Saturday, March 2s, matinee and night.
This is a play that has plausible story
in which laughter and tears are deftly
mingled and has also, for its central
character one of the sweetest of hero
ines. "Peg" is an unsreiled, irrespon-
sible bit of a girl whom chance throws
in the way of naughty, unnatural fam
ily. They are so unlike her that she is
made very unhappy, but in the last act,
through the man who has won her love,
her smiles return. Mr.. Morosco, the pro-
Queer. has selected the following cast of

of them use the vacation months in any
profitable way. An average addition of
$500 to the annual salary of city school
teachers would require a total of less
than sl0,00O,0oo, or about 3 per cent. of
the total annual cost of the schools.
For most teachers the additional months
would not be a hardship, especially if
the school days were shortened. Ger
tainly this is true if teachers could be
relieved of large amount of the neces-
sary bookkeeping report making, and
examination reading with which they
are now burdened"

HUERTA STANDS
STRAIN WELL.
After His First Year in Presidency OF
Mexico He Is Far From Physical
Collapse, as Predicted.

Mexico City, March 27.-After a year
in office, General Huerta appears in bet
ter health than when he undertook the
presidency. The difficulties he has en-
countered have left no stamp upon his
features. Six months ago some of his
friends and most of his enemies predict
ed early physical collapse and there were
some who would not have been surprised
had his intellect suffered as the result
of the enormous odds.
"Take things as they come seems to
have been the lifelong philosophy of
Huerta, tempered always, however, with
