TOLLS REBATE STORY
DENIED BY BRITAIN

Special 10 Tar Sun AND NEW YORK HERALD.
WAsttINGToN, April %. Denial OF
reported rebate Of Panama Canal tolls
to British shipowners by the British
Government was made to-day TO the
State Department by the British En-
bassy.
American shippers haHc accused the
British Government OF this practice
which would give them 4 distinct ad-
vantage over American shipping inter-
ests. To meet this situation steps have
been taken by the shippers here for the
enactment of legislation providing for
the free .passase through the canal of
American ships in the colstwise trade.
The explanation made to the, State
Department says the British Govern
ment only pays Panama Canal dues in
a -tew cases where th- British GovIn-
ment has vessels on time charter. And
in doing so, 1t is added. it only tulflls
the. ordinary liability of time charter.

The following letter received by the

exposes the methods used by organ
izcrs of the new wet Order of Camels
to secure free advertising and how
they showed their disapproval when
their plans failed:
Il feel it my duty, while at the
same time it is pleasure, to advise
you and through you the Anti-Saloon
League of America, that Mr.. II. B.
Gentry, general manager of the Sells
Floto circus is, and has been for many
years, an ardent and consistent Prohi-
bitionist.
"Sonne time ago the leaders of the
Order of Camels approached Mr..
Gentry and asked him to furnish
them a band, four camels and some
equipment with which to conduct a
parade in the city of Chicago, repre-
senting to Mr.. Gentry at that time
that this order was similar to the
Elks, Bull Moose and other organi-
cations OF similar nature, and that

deal OF attention and bring recruits to
the organization.
"Mr Gentry has always been very
general in the matter of furnishing
elephants, camels, moose and other
animals to different orders requesting
them for civic and social purposes,
so he made this occasion no excep-
ton. But when it was brought to
his attention that this order was TO
be organized and conducted for the
sole purpose of opposing the Federal
Prohibition Act and in the interest of
annulling that Act and its effect, Mr..
Gentry declined absolutely to fur
nish the order with the cameis, and
it was only after great deal of per-
suasion and hard feeling that he fin
ally permitted them to use one camel,

Then Uncle Wiggily and Noodle

So the two bad chaps went along

the two bad chaps were so near them.
But Noodle, feeling rather hungry,
