BRANDS EFFORT
To REPEAL TOLL
ACT AS TREASON
Congressman KnowIand, of Cali
fornia, Attacks Administrations
Position as Un-American.

WASHINGTON. March 14.-Charg
ing that British influence is forcing
this Government to surrender control
of the Panama Canal and abandon the
policy OF American independence,
Representative Joseph r. Knowland
of California, of the House Interstate
and Foreign Commerce Committee
to-day filed vigorous minority re-
port. denouncing the bill for repeal Of
free tolls.
Il assert exclaims Mr. Knowland
that it would be far better to abol-
ish the canal itself than TO surrender
its control to a foreign power. To
surrender would be a national dis
honor To acquiesce now in the de-
mands of Great Britain, after this
Government, speaking through a for
mer Secretary of State, has upheld
the American position, would be
nothing less than an act of national
cowardice.
81 vigorously protest against the at
tempt to force Congress through a

fote treaty, thus surrendering for all
future time rights vitally affecting The

of the House Interstate and Foreign
Commerce Committee, also presented
a report protesting against repeal OF
the free tolls act. They quote from
statements in original protests of the
British Government that free tolls fol

BUCKHEAD FOR
FAIR TRIAL FOR
FORREST ADAMS
Citizens Of Morgan County Town
Resent Report That Prisoner
Was Threatened There.

citizens of Buckhead, Morgan
County, resent the charge that they
are hasty, or that they are IN any
way inclined to interfere with a far
trial for Forrest Adams, who killed
w. c. Chivers, Chief of Police al
Buckhead.
The resentment was voiced in a
letter to The Sunday American, sign
ed by an imposing number of Buck
head citizens, which protested that
Forest Adams was not brought to
Atlanta because there was any threat
of lynching him in Buckhead. The
statement declared that Adams would
be as safe from mob violence in the
Morgan County jail as in the Fulton
County Tower.
The letter from Buckhead says:
Forest Adams is not a youth, hav-
ing a wife and two children living in
jackson County He is between 20
and 80 years old His father, A. S.
Adams, is not wealthy. but is cit:-
zen of moderate means We want him
