CHOATE'S VERSION OF
 AY-PAUNcEFOTE TREATY
Believes Correespondence Preeludes Exemption of Tolls for Coastwise Shipping.

Washington. April 1S-Joseph H. Choate,. American ambassador to Great Britain during the negotiation of the Hay-Pauncefote treaty, believes that the correspond ndence with the British government a< that time preciudes the idea that American coaStwise ship ping can be exempted from paying tolls through the Panama canal
 Former President Taft, who signed the Panama Canal act containing the exemption clause, thought that in do- American coastWise shipping and be- Eeves that unless congress reverses itself the United States will have to submit the question: to arbitration.
 These points, both welcomed by the advocates Of repeal were brought out today at the hearing before the senate committee on interoceanic canals. Sen etor Simmons introduced a transcript of an address delivered by MT. Taft before the Canadian club at Ottawa last January and Mr. Choate's views were submitted in a letter to Henry White, secretary of the American eTn- bassy a. London. while Mr. Choate was am bassador- accompanied by 8 num- ber of letters addressed b3- him to Sec retary of State Hay, explaining the progress of the negotiations
 NIT. ChoaJe wrote that the core spondence established beyond ques- tion the intent of the parties in the negotiations that the treaty should mean exactly what it says and ex- ciudes the possibility of the exemption of any kind of vessels of the United States. Equality between the United States and Great Britain is the con stant theme"

 Before Interstate Commerce Commission.
TWO HAVE ALREADY YIELDED UNDER PROTEST
Counsel Stoddard Brands Resort to Criminal Procedure Unjust Arbitrary and TyranncaP P-Homer Cummings Notified that His Clients Must Submit Without Further Conditions.

and residents of the state of Connectt- cut. with the inevitable annoyance. trouble and expense connected with criminal proceeding in a jurisdiction far removed from defendants place of residence. Therefore, to relieve them selves from the burden of such an noyance trouble and expense, while they feel that your threatened action is unjust arbitrary and tyrannical, my clients, Messrs. Whipple and Field, are constrained to submit and to abandon this wholly because of the threat of such criminal prosecution
 Mir Folk, in reply, directed atten- ton to the fact that the commission had no power to punish for contempt as courts have, and, as a result had been given authority by the congress to proceed against recalcitrant wit nesses by criminal action. He added that so long as he was at the head of the law department of the commits sion the criminal statute would be invoked in every clear case of the re- calcitrancy of witnesses.
 Later MT. Folk today telegraphed Judge Stoddard to ascertain whether his clients would be willing to pro duce the books and papers of the Bil- the commission. To that inquiry no response has been received tonight.
 Homer S. Cummings, counsel for Samuel Hemingway and Samuel More house, through teiegrans to MT. Folk today sought further delay in the criminal proceedings. He was notified that his clients must submit their tes- timony to the commiss ion without fur ther conditions.

Washington, April Establishments were voted today by the federal grand jurv it is understood, authoritatively, against the four witnesses who refused to testify before the Interstate Com f,1erce Commission last Friday con- corning the relations of the Billiard company with the New Haven railroad system. The indictments probably will not be returned for several days, pend ing final word from the recaic1trate witnesses as to whether they desire to change their attitude.
 The men whose names are before the jury are Harry V. Whipple, pres ident of the Merchants' National bank of New Haven: Samuel Hemingway, president of the Second National bank of New Haven: Edward l. Field and Samuel Morehouse, all of New Haven.
 All four are supposed to have ofh- cial connection with the Billiard com- pany. through which it has been al ieged that millions of dollacS' worth of New Haven securities Have been illegally diverted.
 Henry Stoddard, counsel for Whipple and Field. today notified Chief Coun- seI Joseph W. Folk of the Interstate Commerce Commission that his clients, under protest, would testify rather than undergo the stigma of an indict- ment and criminal prosecution.
 You notify us,H wrote. MT. Stod- dard. that instead of applying to 8 court of civil Jurisdiction in order to have the question directly determined by a judge. who intend to resort to criminal proceedings. I suppose that means a criminal proceeding in the District of Columbia against citizens

 Threat Militia Will Shoot.

Tulsa, Okla, April 16.-A crisis is expected in the fight between the state authorities and the Tulsa Jockey club at the Tulsa race course this after noon.

 At the racetrack every entrance was guarded by soldiers, and none save horsenen were permitted to enter the grounds. and these were all searched for firearms

 RAILWAY WORKERS.
TWO MILLION MEMBERS
Has Been Approached and is Said to be Giving Favorable Consideration Organization Along English and German Lines.

Boston, April 16-Charles s. Mellen formerly president of the New York, New Haven and Hartford Railroad company, may become the active head of a wederated body supreme amoag the various organizations of the United States with which two million rail- road employees are affiliated.
 It became known today that Mir. MeIlen had been approached on the subject and that he was giving it fla vorable consideration. Thae new or ganization to be known as the Feder- ated Council of Railroad Brotherhood, will be formed at a meeting of dele gates in this city on April 26 and the former director of the New Haven railroad system will be nominated for the presidency.
 The idea of the council has been promoted by the Order of Railroad Station Agents, which met here in January and appointed committee to invite the many independent organ iZations of railroad men to send dele gations to the forthcoming meeting. It is stated that favorable reports were received and 10 delegates have been elected.
 At present there is no central body in this country and the organization will be along the line of the English deputy lord mayor of Westham, Eng l land, and associate secretary of the | federated transportation workers of | England, will be present to aid in or ganization. The council will repre- i present all branches of the service in | cluding conductors, engineers, brake | men, station agents, freight handlers, l telegraph operators. signal men and l track walkers.
 ! The plan to place MT. Iellen at the l head of the council was a direct out 1 come of a statement made by him in 1 an address made at a dinner tender ! ed him by employees of the Boston & Maine railroad here on November 30 | after he had resigned the presidency ! of the New Haven. He had talked 1 intimately to the men of the latent ] power in labor organizations and said that labor had not received the re-
 ward it otherwise might because ot | jealousy among the different bodies
 and lack of loyalty to the common | cause.
 Exercise your power with pru- l dence," he said. 'sBe fair, be prudent i but be stea dfast one to the other YoJ | have the power and others must pay 1 the price" With some feeling, ht ! concluded:

 like to advise you. I wan b heip ycI i Possibly the time vii! come when
