Pauncefote treaty so is
that portion of the law prohibiting

Nothing of the sort. The evident
meaning Of the treaty with England
is that the canal charges shall not
discriminate against any nation. For
instance it would violate the treaty to
admit American coastwise commerce
through the canal free and not allow
Canadian coast to coast ships the
same privilege.
But to bar railroads from operat-
ing steamship lines through the ca
nal would not be discriminatory tow
ards Canada if American railroads are
included in the restriction as is de-
sired.
For many reasons it would be
wrong to allow the railroad companies
to make use of the canal. A railroad
company that operates a steamship
line in competition with its rail bus
mess never conducts bona fide COM

form of monopoly for by such course

Railroads should be barred from
operating steamship lines through the
canal and barred from the navigation
business on inland waterways. A
railroad owned steamboat is but q
wolf of the water. 1t operates not to
provide competition but to kill Of
competition.
1t is obvious, however, that the
question Of free tolls and the question
of railroad owned ships are two sep

ANOTHER STORM
ON ITS WAY HERE

Another storm, every bit as bad as
the one which has just passed north,
Is on its way up the coast, and until
It reaches Cape Hatteras the weather
In Newark will remain unsettled, with
almost anything likely to happen.
There will probably be further drop
in temperature tonight, but how
great a drop will depend on the course
of the storm.
If it is shunted to sea off Hatteras
the last of the week will be quite cold
in Newark. If the storm clings to the
coast and passes the Nirgible capes
the temperature will not change so
very much, but residents may expect
a storm tomorrow night with north
west gales.
While the storm which has just
passed is one of the record breakers,
both for duration and damage, the to-
tai rainfall in Newark has been less
than three inches, and there must be
n further fall of six inches during the
remaining three weeks of the year, II

precipitation. At the start of Decem-
Der the annual precipitation was
nearly nine inches shy.

much snow in Montclair and Caldwell

TELLS Of SCENE
At DEATHBEDOF
WOMAN TESTATOR
Mrs. McKinney's Foster Son
Says He Called Grandson
a Murderer.

Argument was begun today before
Judge William p Martin. in the Or
phan's Court, on the will Of Mrs.
Frederick Mckinney, which her
grandson, Charles F. Mckinney, a
Newark lawyer, is contesting. The
action is based on alleged undue in
fiuence on the part of the testators
foster son. Francis Rutherford Nc
Kinney, a building inspector en-
ployed by the city.
The estate is estimated to be valued
at 100000, OF which Francis Ruther-
ford Mckinney was bequeathed about
one-third. Charles f. Mckinney was
not mentioned in the document
The cross examination of Francis
Rutherford Mckinney took up most
Of yesterday afternoons session of
the court Robert H. McCarter, of
counsel for the plaintiff, drew from
the witness the story of scene which
the foster son says was created at the
beahbed when Francis Ruhrford Nc
Kinney arrived home the day before
the testator died and found her
grandson In the sick chamber.
Come out of there, Charlie" the
witness said he called to the grand
son. You're a murderer"
The witness said at his direction
Charles F. Mckinney followed him
out of the sick room to one of the
rooms on the floor below. where the
two held conversation. The witness
declared his reason for calling the
grandson Mrs. McKinney's murderer
was because he believed the action OF
Charles f. Mckinney in bringing his
grandmother to court to settle the
dispute over the ownership of the
ID Ind w m
sponsible for the aged woman's i'll
ness.
Witness declared that during the
conversation that followed, he had
| asked the grandson how he could
have the heart to bring the old lady
to court" The plaintiff according to
the witness. said he was sorry for
what he had done. and because Of
this expressed sorrow the two made
up and were good friends.
and you, knowing as you say you
did, that Mrs. Mckinney was dying,
/ called her grandson a murderer in her
presence?" asked Mr.. McCarter. The
witness replied in the affirmative
Asked what reason he had to be-
| lieVe that the grandson was In any
way responsible for Mrs. Mckinney's
illness, the witness said the attending
physician had told him that the ner-
vousness occasioned by the suit ID
! chancery had rendered Mrs. Mckin-
ney physically susceptible to cold, or
other Illness.
What was considered by counsel for
the defense a strong point in its favor
was the statement, made under cross
examination by Mrs. n lie Weston,
the nurse who attended Mrs. McKin-
ney. She testified that the patient
first began to loose consciousness
about 10 D. m. on Monday, about three
hours after Mrs. Mckinney had made
her will.

RIFLE CLUB
PERMIT IS DENIED

The instruction committee of the
Board of Education voted last night
to refuse the request of Central High
School boys for permission to form a
rifle club, Commissioner r. Elmer
Throssell saying that such an organi-
cation would tend to rouse a military
spirit and also would endanger lives.
The request came from Professor
Wiener, head of the Central High
School, who stated in his letter that
about thirty boys had come to him
and declared they would like to start
rifle club. These clubs are under
indirect supervision Of the secretary
of war and the National Board for
the Promotion of Rifle Practice in the
United States. To start such a club
permission of the school authorities
is necessary.
Following a complaint, the COM
nlittee passed a motion that in future
whenever class pins were to be pur-
chased they should be as cheap as
Iy,ssible and should be purchased
from local manufacturers. The COM
plant was to the effect that the
pupils had to pay too much for such
pins and that they were not from
home firms.
