McMichen, his wife and a Mr.. Lowry,
whose first name l do not know. Mr..
McMichen was driving We were nor
going more than ten miles an hour

knew Of the presence of the fire
chiefs car was when it crashed into
us as we passed Boulevard. l saw
the hood Of the car strike our machine
and then | don't know what happen
ed until I got to the hospital"
In his report TO the fire department
Chief Pressly declares that the Mo
Michen machine which is a seven1
passenger touring car was travelling
al the rate Of 40 miles an hour. The
Chief declares he was coming down
Boulevard about seven or eight miles
an hour and failed to see or hear the
McMichen car until he turned tho
corner.
The fire department machine was
thrown almost straight up into the
air by the force of the collision, and
the other machine, skiddins, lurched
into the sidewalk, throwing the wom-
en- out, and then turned over.

MONEY IN
TOLL WAR
Peace Foundations Fight On
Tolls Exemption Only Actiy-
ity for Year, Probers Hear.

WASHINGTON, March 1s.-That
the s10,0O0,O0O Carnegie endowment
for International peace, of which
United States Senator Eiihu Root is
chairman, has appropriated $32,469 in
the last year for a propaganda in ia
vor of the repeal or arbitration of the
clause exempting American shipping
from the payment Of tolls, and Of that
sum has spent $2S,54S and that it
circulated under Government frank
IT'S 900 copies of Roots speech against
toll exemption was brought out before
the Senate Lobby Committee to-day
when James Brown Scott, secretary
of the foundation, took the stand.
The foundation also sent out 1900
600 copies of statement on the tolls
question, signed by members Of the
board of trustees, Scott said. This
propaganda. he declared, .eomprised
the whole activity of the foundation.
Fund Of $4,000 a Year.
He denied that lecturers were EN-
ployed or that press bureaus were
maintained by the foundation. The
work of the foundation is carried on
through income of 100000 year
from Andrew Carnegie's endowment
of $10.O00,OOO of per cent United
States Steel Corporation bonds.
Senator Root is also chairman of
the executive committee which or
dered the distribution of Panama Ca
nal tolls literature, but Scott ex-
planned that Root was not present
when it was voted to circulate his
speech.
Senator Reed asked what the re-
peal of the exemption clause had to
do with promoting peace.
Some believe that the way to pre-
serve peace is TO smooth out misun-
derstandings," replied Scott
IF there had been serious dispute
there might have been some reason
in circulating the speech" said sena-
tor Reed, who wanted to know why
the Root speech had been circulated
instead of the O'Gorman speech in
favor of free tolls.
What Chance Has U. ST"
Senator Roots speech insists that
we have no right to SO interpret the
treaty; the power and influence Of
your society was placed behind the
circulation Of a statement that we
had no case no right and conse-
quently had nothing to arbitrate,
said Senator Reed. He asked what
chance the United States would have
in arbitration when the rest Of the
world interested in the case sat in
judgment.
Il am not here to express an opin-
ion on that" replied Scott.
Clarence w. DeKnight, the WASH
ington attorney who told the commit
tee of the large sums he has made
through the promotion of legislation,
was i'll and unable to appear before
the committee to-day. His examina-
ton will be continued when he re-
covers.

copies we're distributed, declared that
the interest OF the United States was
to represent before the world the
principle of civil and religious liberty
and public efficiency and we'll being

This Is OF great material as we'll

Antony and Cleopatra.

One of the most thrilling, awe in
spring moments of George klelne's
glorious production of the Cines pho
to drama, "ANTONY AND CLEOP-
ATRA," is when the Egyptian Queen
orders her slave thrown to the croc-
odiles of the Nile for daring to have
falln in love with Mare Antony. The
picture is realistic in the extreme.
The huge monsters are seen SWIM
ming about the stream, which flows
at the foot of the palace steps, lay
ing in wait for any article of food
that may be thrown to them. The
I curtains of the entrance part and
Cleopatra and her retinue appear, fol-
lowed by powerful slave who car
ries the young girl securely bound.
At the Queens signal the slave
throws the girl into the waters. The
crocodiles make one dive for her and
all disappear into the depths of the
river. Meanwhile Cleopatra looks on
/ unmoved by pity, regal even in her
hatred and malevolence, flashing
proud fury from her eyes and a
sneer of conscious disdain and pow
er developing her features. 1t is an
episode both dramatic and sensational
that holds the spectator spellbound,
vet carries with it no feeling of re-
pulsion that might naturally be eX-
pected. 1t is superbly acted and su-
perbly carrid out. This is only one
of a host of scenes that go to make
the Cines "Anthony and Cleopatra
the greatest photo drama yet pro-
duced. The George Klein@ produc-
ton is announced for Tuesday, Matt
nee and night, at Kalbfeld's Grand

What the Vice President Said.

In his address before the FLORIDA
Press Association at Fort Myers last
week there was considerable anxiety
on the part of the assembled editors
as to what, if anything he would say
touching our trouble with Mexico.
But the Vice President touched only
briefly on the subject, when ne SAID:
"There is no war with Mexico, un7
less one has been declared since |
began speaking. The taking of the
customs house at Vera Cruz was not
an act of warfare. Under interna-
tional law it was simply an act of re-
prisal. Whether there is to be war or or
not | do not know. Nobody can tell,
The gambler would say that it lay
at the feet of fate. The poet would
saw that it rested upon the lever OF
chance. But, for myself, looking
back over 125 years of glorious his
torv, realizing all that it cost to lay
the foundation of country, | believe
this thing rests in the hands OF God
and | hope it may be the purpose OF
Him who rules the destinies of ma
tions as He does the destines OF IN
dividuals that this cup may pass from
the lips of the American people.
