WILSON DEFENDED
IN TOLL ACTION
Senator Stone Says American
Ships Should Help Pay
for Canal.
From Tn. Tribune Bureau.

Washington, May 5.-Proceeding upon
the theory that the canal tolls question is
a domestic rather than foreign problem.
and differing with the Presidents view
that the exemption Of coastwise vessels
from the payment OF tolls Is a violation
OF the Hay-Pauncefote treaty, Senator
Stone, chairman OF the Foreign Rela-
tons Committee. appeared to-day as the
defender OF the administration.
He said, in part
II was equally convinced that the
United States had the right under the
treaty TO exempt our coastwise trade YES
sells from the payment of tolls. That was
my conviction in 1912, and II is my convic-
ton to-day. AS TO whether We should ex-
empt any class OF American vessels from
the payment OF tolls | then regarded,
and now regard. as a purely domestic
question with which foreign nations justly
and lawfully have nothing to do.
II deal with the tolls question from the
other standpoint. that OF treating II as a
question with which We are alone con-
cerned. II is now proposed to repeal that
American coastwlse ships from the pay
ment OF tolls. That is now a question OF
our own, with which foreign nations have
nothing to do. We have now taken up
this question on our own initiative.
ION the merits OF the pending question
I can find no satisfactory reason why the
American people should grant subsidy
OF millions 10 this special interest. None
but American vessels can enter into this
coastwise business; It is a monopoly en-
joyed by the American ships engaging
in II.
THE construction Of the canal has cost
the American people 100000, and It
will require millions annually to maintain
and operate II. Every vessel passing
through the canal will entail an expense.
Why should these already favored ships be
permitted to utilize this waterway with
out contributing farthing toward It's
maintenance

La Toilette Tells About
Railroads Efforts to
Influence 1t.
RULING is SOUGHT
FOR FREIGHT INCREASE
Senator Would Make II Felony
to Employ Such
Methods.
From The Tribune Bureau.

Washington. Gay "a bitter denuncia-
ton OF what he charged was a wide
spread campaign to coerce the Interstate
Commerce Commission into granting the
S per cent freight rate increase asked for

Senator La Toilette to-day in support OF
his bill TO make It felony to try to In
nuence the commission.
Senator La Toilette intimated that the
railroads had made preparations for a
publicity campaign even before the APP
pllcation for the rate increase was made
that they had induced business men 70
lend their aid in influencing the commits
sion. and that the President himself had
not been Jealous In contradicting reports
that he was in favor OF the proposed in
crease.
Senator la Toilette reviewed the COM
munications received by the commission
and placed in the record twenty-eight
publications sent out by railroad public
ity bureau in Philadelphia These, ne
said. were "a monument OF shame" Re-
ferring TO communications that he had re-
ceived he added:
These asked me as a Senator to use my
influence with the Interstate Commerce
Commission The moral sense Of these peo-
pie is so blunted that they can't see the
iniquity OF the whole proceeding. Congress
Is derelict I'm its duty TO this organization,
and has left it exposed to every form OF
attack. Some are so offensive that IL
stagsers the mind to think Of them
Mr.. La Toilette said that running
through nearly all OF the letters ad-
dressed to the President and members OF
his Cabinet. which they In turn had re-
ferred to the commission, was the sug-
gestion that the political party which dld
not preserve prosperity regardless Of JUS
tice could not retain power. He said
there were about 40 letters addressed 10
the President. or TO Joseph A.. Iumulty'
his secretary.
Later, Senator Hughes told Mr.. La
Toilette that he had called up the White
House and had been Informed that the
transmission of those letters to the COM
mission was the routine duty Of a clerk.
More than 5000 communications nave
been received by the commission. Senator
La Toilette asserted. including 700 petit
lions. resolutions and letters, urging the

Frutas secas

ce un articulo por c. F. Langyorthy So
bre frutas secas como alimento.
Los puntos que hay que considerar al
decidir en- cuanto al abaratamiento, dI-
ce ell autor es el costo por libra, la can
tldad de proteina y energla suministra-
da la cantidad del artlculo, combus-
tible, y trabajo requeridos al preparar-
10 para mesa. Por ejemplo, ell precio
de las uvas por 10 general es mas bajo
que ell de las pasas, pero las uvaS contie-
nen mas aqua; asl tambi6n algunas fru-
tas muy baratas necesitan az1car, ira
bajo Y combustible para hacerlas conf
bles. Hay ademas, la question del des-
mo por ejemplo, en- alimentos con sin

Sin embargo, por 10 general immune
rabies experimentos han probado que
las frutas secas son baratas, consideran-
dolo todo, en- comparaci6n con otros ali
mentos sencillos y que como fuentes de
energia procediendo del dulce otros
carbohydrates que contienen, son mas
baratos que la carne, tan baratos como
| los productos de leche, pero mas caros
que los cereales y legumbres harinosas,
tales como las patatas Y guisantes secos.

su composition entire una fruta y la
