the chief issue was whether negroes

lied by President Wilson, with the
announcement that the nomipation of
Col. George W. Goethals to be first
governor of the Panama canal would
be sent to the senate in a few days.
Colonel Goethals' idea of zone
man" government is carried out in
the executive order, which was made
public by Secretary Garrison immedi.
ately after the cabinet meeting. The
authority of the governor will be SUI
preme under the secretary Of war.

FREE CANAL TOLLS
OPPOSED By WILSON
PRESIDENT HOLDS EXEMPTION
TO AMERICAN. COASTWISE YES
sells VIOLATES TREATY.
THREE COURSES ARE OPEN
Question Of Panama Canal Tolls Ia
Subject Discussed About Capt.
toll in Washington.

Washington.-How to dispose Of the
Panama canal tolls question was the
subject uppermost in discussion about
the capital when the attitude Of Pres
ident Wilson, outlined to the senate
foreign relations committee, became
bile. The presidents position was
asserted to be that the provision OF
the Panama canal act granting toll
exemption to American vessels is in
violation Of the Hay-Pauncefote trea-
ty, which proclaims that the canal
shall be free and open to all nations
ION terms Of entire equality and
that Charges Of traffic should be Just
and equitable"
Before definite action is taken in
congress, it was said administration
leaders will await the public state
ment from the president on the ques.
ton. President Wilson himself, after
the conference with the senator's, said
he would proclaim his views "at a
future time"
Three courses are open to congress.
Great Britain, which persistently has
opposed the toll exemption for Ameri-
can ships, has offered to arbitrate the
question as to its being a violation OF
the Hay-Pauncefcte treaty. The ma
jority in congress, 1t Is believed, oppos-
es this, maintaining that the United
States should settle the issue for itself.
Another course is to carry into effect a
resolution submitted by Representative
Adamson, which would suspend, for
two years, the operation Of the pro-
vision exempting American ships from
the payment Of tolls. Should this be
adopted, diplomatic negotiations could
continue in the meantime. The third
proposal is that congress repeal the
free toll provision.
Representative Adamson said that
the committee on interstate and for
eign commerce undoubtedly would re-
port the free tolls suspension bill to
the house favorably, but that this ac-
ton would be held up pending def
mite word from President Wilson. Mr..
Adamson expects the president to COM
municate his views to congress soon
