Senator Fall Proposes
New Plan for Settlement
of Tolls Controversy

Senator Fall of New Mexico injected
into the tolls controversy new aspect
by the Introduction of bill which
would provide that no tolls should be
levied upon vessels engaged in the
coastrise trade of the United States
nor upon vessels belonging to citizens
Of any country upon this continent and
engaged solely in trade between ports
Of North and South America or both.
and duly registered under the laws of
The country of which the owners of
said vessels arc citizens.
Senator Fall, in explaining his bill,
said that it will work out to a logical
conclusion the policies of the United
States as originally contained in the
Monroe doctrine.
1t would be convincing to Brazil, Ar
Gentfna, Chile, Mexico and other Latin
American countries upon this continent
said Senator Fall, that the United States
Is In good faith in its announced policy
of friendship and willingness to assist
these countries not only against aggres-
sions OF foreign powers, but in the de-
velopment of their own resources and
that in all its acts with reference to the
Panama canal 1t has had in view not
only its own interests, but the interests
Of every other country upon the CONT
nent, including the United States of Co
lomb bia."
Says Debate Will End in Two Weeks
Senator Owen, one of the adninistra-
tion's stanchest supporters in the fight
took issue today with the prediction ad-
vanced by opponents of the repeal that
tine Senate would require at least six
weeks to debate the issue. Senator
Owen expressed the opinion that two
weeks would be all the Senate would
require for debate.
of course, those who oppose this
measure Senator Owen said have an
idea that public sentiment which is be-
ing manufactured will have an influence
on the Senate. But the Senate is no
kindergarten. and / think most of the
senators realize an attempt is being made
to create sentiment in this matter by
the sending out Of circular letters to be
sent back to members.
Senator OGorman, leader of the opposi-
ton to the repeal in the Senate asserted
that nothing new had developed in the
situation and that the canals committee,
of which he is chairman, would do moth
ing until the House had acted
Senator Owen said he would be salts
ned TO wait until that time before urg-
ing the committee to action.
Opens the Discussion.
Opening discussion in the Senate SEN
ator Lewis urged his resolution to give
the President authority To suspend tolls
against ships passing through the canal.
He submitted his resolution, he said. first
TO suggest a method of applying tolls
and ITO give the democratic party an in
termediate course that il may avoid the
rocks on one side or the other"
Senator Lewis pointed to railroad in
iquities AS responsible for exemption of
tolls. He said it was deplorable that

Reports in diplomatic circles today are
to the effect that Ambassador Jusserand,
who has been the diplomatic representa-
tive of France In this country for the
past eleven years, and who Is the dean
of the diplomatic corps here. Is to be
transferred to London. 1t is understood
the British post was the only one which
the ambassador was willing to accept
after his government notified him of its
desire to make a shift. The ambassador,
it was added, was well satisfied here and
was not anxious to change.
Although not officially confirmed. the
rumor which the diplomats are discuss
ing came from such an authoritative
source that no doubt was expressed as
to its truth.
Scholar and Diplomatist.
Ambassador Jusserand. who has been
very popular in the diplomatic world
here, is a scholar as well as a diploma
tist, and has made deep study of Eng
lish literature, having written several
volumes on the subject. His wife is an
American woman. The ambassador was
a very close friend of former President
Roosevelt and made frequent visits to
the White House either to discuss liter
ature or to play tennis with the former
President
Ambassador Jusserand who presented
his credentials as his country's ambas-
sador extraordinary and plenipotentiary
here February 7, 1903, has been in the
diplomatic service of France since at
taining his majority. This was the
first post he held as ambassador, he
having been minister to Denmark at
the time of his transfer to this capital.
On account of his scholarly ability
degrees have been conferred on him
by Harvard, Chicago and Columbia
universities and by the University of
Pennsylvania.
His Literary Work.
Among his literary works are a his
tory of English literature and a his

of Shakespeare. He has shown great
interest in American history and has
written a number of articles dealing
with the important part played by the
French officers who came to this coun-
try and fought during the revolu-
tionary war.
The ambassadors wife was Miss Elise
Richards. During their stay in Wash
inston the Jusserands have entertained
extensive and have proved themselves
exceedingly popular in the diplomatic
set.

Federal and Rebel Agents
Here Worried Over Indefinite
News in Regard to Torreon

Both the Mexican embassy and the
headquarters of the constitutionausts in
Washington are admittedly worried today
over the failure to receive any direct
word confirming dispatches regarding the
conditions about Torreon- At constltu-
tionalist headquarters it is positively
stated that Villa has taken everything
save the main barracks at Torreon. but
the Mexican embassy does not credit this
report. 1t is said by Senor Alsara, charge
d affaires at the embassy, that had Gen
Villa been making the series of victories
that have been claimed he would before
now be occupying Torreon, and that the
embassy here would have been officially
notified of that fact.
In official circles and in banking houses
in Washington today considerable anxi-
ETY. is expressed as to what action will
be taken following the reported MESA sc
from John Lind, personal representative
of the President in Mexico, who Is quoted
In a Vera Cruz dispatch as having ad-
vised the State Department that should
Villa capture Torreon Gen. Carranza
should be urged to proclaim at once that
the constitutionalist government will re-
pu6iate any loans made to the Huerta
regime or obligation through sale Of old
bonds This message, coming at q time
when the Huerta government Is trying
to negotiate a big loan here, has caused
considerable feeling and is expected TO
provoke trouble.
Al Mr. Lind has no diplomatic stand
ing, and as this dispatch puts him in
the position of directly counseling the
revoIutionists. 1t is expected thst
Huerta will not hesitate to treat him
as a very unwe1come sojourner in the
territory over which the provisional
president still holds sway.

principles of the George Washington plan
for the original city to be the entire Dis
trict of Columbia. This plan has been
closely followed by Congress and by the

THE executive committee in its report
shows that this plan for the physical
improvement of the National Capital.
like the other plans for the moral prog
ress of the National Capital cannot be
carried out If the ''half-and-ha ar
ranGement is abandoned. The Senate
park commission plans for the develop

THE protest which 1 see has been made
by the Pittsburgh Chapter of the Ameri-

SO much to do with the formation of
the park commission plan. and with its
execution since 1902, is typical of the
feeling aroused by the legislation threat
ening the progress of the National Capt.
