|BATTLESHIPS MUST PAY
TOLLS, KN0WLAND SAYS
California Representative Tells How
Change in Bill Makes Charge to
Nations Navy Necessary.
MEASURE WELCOME TO SHIPPING

Representative Knowland. OF California.
yesterday made public a statement in
which he taunted the trainers Of the
Panama Canal tolls exemption repeal
bill. Mr.. Knowland will lead the oppo-
sition to the measure in the House. On
Saturday Chairman Adamson, of the In
terstate and Foreign Commerce Com
mittee characterized the criticisf of Mr.
KnowIand that ships of the navy must
pay tolls as concentrated nonsense" On
tnis point the Californian said yester-
day:
Any member OF Congress who will
study the language of the Sims bill
carefully and understandinGly will not
be deceived by the cry Of 'monstrous
perversion Of the truth emanating from
the pen of Mr.. Adamson. Whom the
gods would destroy they first make mad.
THE Sims bill strikes from section
five of the present law the words
other than for vessels OF the United
States and its citizens The amendment
other than for vessels OF the United
States and its citizens was originally
suggested. as I recall, by Representative
Mann in order to reserve to this country
lne TlBnI 10 pass lIct VI lOi
ships. This is the language the bill
strikes out.
In Sir Edward Grey's note of Novem-
Der H. 1912, particular exception is taken
to the language other than for vessels
of the United States and its citizens and
in explanation His Majesty's represent
ative complains that the tolls in case
of ships belonging to the United States
and its citizens may be fixed at a lower
rate and emphatically declares that
this provision clearly conflicts with the
treaty.
''It will require the sending out of more
literature than can be printed with the
$500 left in the Carnegie fund of 10000
to convince the American people that the
bill does not foreclose our right to pass
government vessels through the canal.
Incidentally attention might be directed
to the fact that institutions and indi-
viduals who have heretofore started simi-
lar propagandas for the education of pub
lie sentiment have been termed insidious
lobbyists"
Representative Peters, of Massachu-
setts. introduced a bill to repeal that sec

Move when detectives tonight told her
that their search for seven-year-old
Warren McCarrick, who disappeared
last Thursday, had not developed any
clews. 1t is now virtually certain that
the boy was either kidnapped or killed.
Detectives are watching every mail de-
livery at McCarick's home in the hope
that those who have the boy, II he has
been kidnapped will make an oner to
return him to get the sl,OO reward
offered by City Treasurer William NC
Coach.
Tventy city hall detectives and a
DOZEN special policemen worked all the
dav on the case and found nothing. Some
of the detectives went into New jersey
following up a report that farmer
wagon. similar to that in which the boy
is thought to have been carried away
in, had been seen crossing ferry.
Detectives tonight started for Atlantic
City on the latest clue. This leads to
woman who became especially attacned
toward the child while he was spending
some weeks at the resort last winter
with his father and mother.
McCarrick, the father. told the detec-
tives late today that the woman had
bought toys and candy for his son and
had taken him on trips to pleasure spots
at the resort.

So far the detectives have been unable

scription OF the wagon driver seen talk

BUY A SHEEP, SHARE WITH
NEIGHB0RS, SAYS EXPERT
Agricultural Department Says That
Will Reduce the Cost
Of Living.

Reduce your meat bill by purchasing
mutton in quarters, or share a whole
sheep with your neighbors. This is the
advice of the food specialists Of the De-
partment of Agriculture, who are trying
to solve the high-cost- -of-living problem
for the housekeeper. They have found
that in nutritive value and digestibility
mutton is practically Interchangeable
with beef, and mutton has slight ad-
vantage over beef in that it contains
less water.
'In many markets where the pound
price of mutton and lamb is high," says
the circular Of the department, careful
shoppers will find that they can obtain
this form of meat very much lower by
buying hind quarters or half carcasses
instead of buying chops and roasts sepa-
rately by the pound"
The circular proceeds to tell how to
handle your purchase economically: "In
the case Of a hind quarter the chops can
be cut off and served for one meal, and
the roast will serve for another meal.
In this way the family frequently will
obtain chops at a price per pound lower
than that asked for roast alone by the
pound.
Where a half carcass is bought, in
addition to the chops and roasts. the
family will have fore quarter and
meat for stewing. The sheep is very
convenient for purchase in this way, as
it is small and can be kept in an ordinary
refrigerator
