ALL STEAMERS ID
 USE THE CANAL
Gregory Says Canal Authorities Must Wait for Convictions Before
 Barring Boats.

WASHINGTON, April 23.-Attorney General Gregory today ruled that all ships are to be allowed the use of the Panama canal until it is proven that they have violated the Sherman antitrust law, and then, if the courts order the company dissolved, they are not to be allowed to pass through the canal
 The attorney-genera insists that the law as passed by congress says that ships belonging to corporations vic lating the Sherman antitrust law shall not be allowed to use the ca nal" The head of the Department of Justice insists that the conviction of the violation of the Sherman law must be had before the canal authori- ties can refuse to allow the boats of the corporation to pass from ocean to ocean.
 As no trust company can exist af- ter the order of dissolution is up"eld the effect of the law is valueless as all boats can use the canal ct al! times up to the time of the dissolu- tion of any company, after wo.ch it no longer exists and its boats w-l be purchased by individuals or another company.
 Congress may be asked to change the law.

It is the latter movement which is now being ac- lively pressed to an issue.
 How the Germans have been able to hold the St. Mihiel wedge, with an occasional offensive, is no longer a military secret. In the autumn of 1912 a German company rented a large plot of ground close to St. Mi hiel for the manufacture of a chem

Treas. urer Mrs. Albert White made de- tailed report of the income and ex- penses of the board, which shows that the cost of maintaining the Valdez schools, including a four-year high school course for the year 1914-15, was a little less than $8,000.

swered. For time it was thought that Roosevelt would take his chances with the judge and refuse to answer but finally he replied to Barnes counsel, although in a sullen and defiant manner.
 Barnes and his attorneys feel con- fident that they will win judgment, as Roosevelt has failed to substantiate his libelous statements made during the campaign. The defendant insists that it was common report and gen erally known. He als doamits that detectives were hired by him after the suit was filed to secure the nec- essary coroboration of the statements made when he had no personal knowledge that what he charged was true.
 It is believed that the judge will in struct the jury that even if the evil dence secured after the libelous state ments substantiates them, if Roose' welt did not know they were true when he uttered them and gave pub licity to the islander with malice, then damages should be given the plain tiff.

The main address of the evening
was delivered by Rev. +. Il. Shout
Ter, pastor of the First Baptist
church. His topic was The Right of
and the work OF the Christian" and
was taken from the words of Paul,
All things are yours" First he raised
the question, why should anyone
worry about values if the world is
yours? The mountains, rivers, fields,
moon, planets, gold, silver and all
earthly things are yours. Love, joy
and sorrow are human possessions,
as they exist with hope and faith. The
possessions inherited from the ages
are ours and we contdibute to what
Will be.
Man Property OF God.
we begin TO feel quite at home
in this world until we find that we are
owned by another" he declared. for
Paul said You the Christ's and Christ
is God When we begin to boast we
begin to feel possessed with very
little. Then when we get everything
counted up, we find another in the
world, and we build a fence around
it.
Then a group comes in and we
pay taxes on all our possessions.
Then we find that we are ectually
owned ourselves. This illustrates the
fundamental principles of God, for we
possess everything and yet we are
owned and possessed by the king
dom" In the final analysis the speak
ed said, God bought us not with
silver or gold, but with his own life.
Thus we surrender TO His will, we
accept His ideas, we become His pro-
perry"
