TOLLS REPEAL
TO HALT JAPAN
CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE.

ment. to have the repeal come from the
House and apparently as the result of
spontaneous desire TO square our
| statutes with our treaties.
The Panama tolls test will be the Sc
verest trial Of the Presidents power he
has met in one years administration
and victory probably will mean the per-
manent suppression Of concerted opposi-
ton to the Presidents leadership. More
over the President will have to make
his fight without his strongest ally
Majority Leader Underwood-who viii!
stand by his vote of 1912 and oppose any
repeal of the tolls exemption clause. This
makes the test doubly important. not as
test OF strength between the Presi-
dent and Mr.. Underwood-for Mr.. Un-
derwood will offer no active opposition.
1t is understood-but as a gauge Of the
Presidents strength without Underwood.
Can Hide Behind Platform.
The coming tussle Is the first instance
where Democrats will have had an OPP
portunity to hide behind the party plat
form in opposing the President The old
time Democrats whom nothing could in
duce to lear the party reservation. and
who have been forced to follow the
President in the past by party caucuses
and platform declarations, now may vent
their spite for the Presidents patronage
course without fear of being read out OF
the party. With a show of justification.
they can charge the President with hav-
ing Jumped the party reservation py re-
pudiating the 1912 platform
Not that President Wilson will shrink
from his test. With the remarkable rec
ord Of the party under his leadership be-
hind him. and with a large sentiment in
The country favorable to absolute square,
ness in international dealings. TO say
nothing Of the consciousness OF power
which a year in the White House has
given him, the President Is not unWillins
TO learn how TO separate the sheep from
the goats in his flock. He has num-
her Of excellent lieutenants in the House
upon whom he can depend-Mitchell
Palmer, Swager Sherley, Judge Adamson,
and others-and who are anxious for
the opportunity of leadership offered.
VIII He Hardest Course.
That the President will have chosen
the hardest course if the House finally is
selected to initiate the Legislation is gen. |
orally conceded. Those who expect to
reverse tkeir vote in the House are
Crumbling because the President doesn't
make the Senate assume responsibility |
for the repeal as the body to which the |
gives concurrent Jurisdiction
with the President in the matter OF
treaties.
However, a great many will reverse |
their votes whethe; or no-part because |
Lhey conscientiously believe treaty OBJ |
legations should be strictly observed. and |
part because they don't want to break |
with Woodrow Wilson. 1t is an excellent |
wager that the repeal will go through |
without undue delay.

cording to the agricultural report to

FARMERS QUARREL
ENDS IN TRAGEDY
PlERSON HALSEY is KILLED BY
NEIGH5OR IN HAYFlELD
NEAR AMIGO.
SLAYER ENDS HIS OWN LIFE
Shooting elimination of Dispute Over
Lease on Hay Lot-Halsey
Was Son of Milwaukee
Circuit Judge.

Athens.-A dispute over a twenty
four acre hay lot resulted in the muir
der of Pierson Halsey and the suicide
of Herman Becker, prominent farmers
near Athens.
The tragedy was the elimination of
a series of quarrels in which Becker is
said to have been the aggressor. Two
years ago Becker leased the land in
question to Halsey. At the expiration
of the lease Halsey decided to en-
force the two-year extension clause.
This clause was the cause of the quar-
rel Becker is said to have made
threats against Halsey.
Halsey declared he would stand on
his rights, exercising the option of the
lease, and he proceeded to cut the
hay. He was working in the field
when Becker came with his shotgun,
loaded with buckshot shells. He APP
preached to within twenty feet and
shot Halsey in the left side, some shot
tearing through the arteries of the
neck and another entering the chin.
1t is said there was no quarrel at the
time of the shooting
Becker then went to his own house,
carrying the gun. He Immediately re-
turned 10 the barn, stood the double
barreled gun up against a grindstone
and shot himself, the buckshot charge
tearing hole in his left breast.
Halsey was 40 years old and a son
of Circuit Judge l.. w. Halsey of Mil
waukee. He was a graduate of the
University of Wisconsin law school
and practiced law in Milwaukee before
coming to this section. Becker was Sc
years old, and a bachelor.
