THE Big FIGHT IS ON
THE GONG HAS SOUNDED
CANAL TOLLS REPEAL MEASURE GETS IT'S
START IN THE HOUSE TODAY
FIGHT UP ON DEBATE LIMIT
looked AS If House Will Pass the Repeal-Senate In
Doubt-Congressman Campbell Makes a
Bitter Attack Against the Bill

WASHINGTON, Mar. 26.-The battle
over the repeal Of the section exempt
ing American ships from paying tolls
In passing through the Panama Ca
nal began in the house at 4 o'clock
this afternoon when Congressman
Henry of Connecticut, republican,,
called up the special rule limiting
the debate to 20 hours. The house
galleries were crowded and the fight
will be the bitterest since the demo-
Gratis have gained control.
In the house the repeal seemed
certain. In the senate defeat loom
ed as a possibility. Before the house
met today the rules committee report
ed out the amended rule for consid-
Grafton of the repeal bill, providing
that the debate be limited to 20 hours.
The consideration of the repeal it.
self was delayed by the report and the
opposition of the conference report
on the urgency deficiency bill preced-
ing the rivers and harbors measure.
Campbell's Fiery Speech.
1.-The most abject and humiliating
surrender ever made by our govern
ment,,' was Representative Campbells
characterization of the proposal to re-
peal the canal bill.
"The president does not explain
what his embarrassment is that makes
this surrender necessary" Campbell
declared sarcastically. Does he fear
the murderous and illiterate bandit
Villa, will break off diplomatic re-
laticns with his administration, and
that in that event he will need the aid
of England? Or does he ask congress
to aid him in further humiliating the |
American people because England has
intimated she wants it done? Or is it !
to further the profit of England, as
our ambassador recently declared that
it added to his pleasure to konw the |
British would profit most from the !
canals use
every drop of red blood in Ameri-
ca protests against the humiliating
possibility of having every gate keeper
dip the American flag as their war
vessels went through the canal to
reach our Pacific coast cities"
In conclusion, Campbell declares
it is cowardly to repeal the free tolls
provision and urged the house to kill
the bill.

ARBITE CLAIMS
AT WASHINGTON
OVER $6,OOO,0O0 AT ISSUE IN
STRANGE OLD CLAIMS SUBJ
MITTED TODAY.
International Disputes Now Being
Considered by Court Sitting
En- Banc.

WASHINGTON, Mar. 26.-Six Mil
lion dollars is at stake in twenty-six
claims new being considered here by
an international tribunal on arbitra-
ton. The Commission, tucked away
in an obscure building, is slowly grind
ing away at it's work. Many Of the
claims are hoary with antiquity and
replete with interest
Most important is that made by
Great Britain in behalf of the Cayuga
Indians resident in Canada. 1t is
claimed that the ancestors of these
aborigiones were, prior to the war of
1872, deprived of their rights, which
they had in perpetual annuity Of
$4,000, which the state Of New York
agreed to pay for lands ceded to it
by the Cayuga nation. The petitions
held that since 1909 only American
Cayugas have been paid the annuity.
The amount claimed with interest,
amounts to nearly $1,OO0,e00.
Among the American claims there is
one by heirs of William Webster, who
they claim, purchased lands in New
Zealand from native chiefs about 70
years ago. Great Britain grabbed the
property. 1t amounts to $4,000. A
similar amount is involved In like
claim by one Studer, for concessions
given him by the Sutton Of lahore, and
which he was later deprived of. The
United States is represented in claims
for the seizure by Canadian officials
Of American fishing vessels, and
Britain in counter claim for vessels
seized in Bering Sea by the United
States. Great Britain is also pressing
claims for cutting of the oceanic cab
les at Cienfuegos, Cuba, in 1898 and
in Manila Bay during the Spanish
American war.
The tribunal to pass on the claims
includes Hon. Henri Fromageot, of
France; Hon Chandler P Anderson,
formerly councillor of the American
department of state; Sir Charles Fitz-
patrick, Chief Justice of Canada.

LECTURE BY G. c. CORBALEY
Spokane Publicity Man Talked to Uni
yersity Forestry Club on Forest
Bi-PrOducts.

Mr.. G. c. Corbaley, in his lecture to
the forestry club Tuesday evening,
talked of the application of chemistry
to the timber industry He spoke from
man, but of the practical business
man. Mr.. Corbaley is employed by
| the Spokane chamber of commerce to
| investigate some of the problems OF
industrial chemistry, and he has trav-
eled in all parts of the country, Wis
iting plants and talking with men
who are doing things along that line.
OF the work of the forest by-products
! laboratory at the university he said:
There is not any more progressive
work being done any place in the Uni
ted States than is being done in this
laboratory" He predicts that within
the next ten years enormous strides
will be made in the application of
chemistry to the industries, and
among those most affected will be the
wood distilling plants in this coun-
try that are being efficiently opera
ted, but there are many more that
have failed because of lack Of knowl-
edge and systematic business organiz
alton. Before the industry of wood
distillation can become successful the
business must be standardized so that
there will be certain staple products
for which there is demand on the
market.
"I am not sure but that the day
will come" said Mr.. Corbaley, when
the trees, instead of being ripped up
into lumber will be utilized by chem
ical processes. That may sound to
you like a dream, but when you real
ize the tremendous chemical progress
that is being made, it does not seem
unreasonable to believe that such a
thing may come to pass within the
next ten years."
"One branch of the industry that is
as yet practically undeveloped is the
utilization of cellulose. We are all
more or less familiar with cellulose
as cotton, hemp, and flax. 1t is also
well known in wood, of which it
40 to SO per cent by
weight Cellulose can be changed |
into many other forms. A
German chemist has estimated that |
a ton of pine wood sawed into lumber
IS worth about $12. The same ton of
wood made into artificial silk is worth
$1,000. Artificial silk made from eel
ulose is now a staple product on the
market. There is probably not silk
lress in the city of Moscow that does
not contain some of this artificial
silk.
"The carbon filaments in electric
lights are made from wood cellulose.
still another use is in the manufacture
If celluloid, which is made by putting
,ellulose into solution with alcohol
ind camphor. Cellu1ose can be made
nto sugar, but the process has not
vet been perfected so that it can be
.arried on with the same ease as that
# manufacturing sugar from corn.
these are few of the uses that have {
'een discovered, and there are many
more that have not yet been thought
f." {

Appeal Made to Students.
MIR. B. H. Lehman of the department
of English this morning made an ap-
peal to all his classes on behalf of
Wellesley, pointed out that an institu-
ton that had rendered such disting-
uished service in the field of higher ed
ucation should not be allowed to per-
ish for lack of aid at this crisis, and
mentioned the peculiar claims which
any institution visited by fire would
always have upon the sympathy and
help of the University of Idaho. Mr..
Lehman will continue in the task
of bringing to the attention OF
students and faculty the plan of send
ing a gift to Wellesley and will take
up the matter of securing the passing
of appropriate resolutions of sympathy
to accompany the gift.
The fact that Moscow has started
fund for the relief of Wellesley was
today telegraphed to the United Press
and to the Associated Press. Copies
of today's Star-Mirror will be sent
to other colleges with the hope that
the movement will become general.
