This in effect, was the testimony
of General Peyton {. March, chief

cording to General March, considers
Bergdoll 'an exceptionally bad

1t was on the initiative Of General

than dealing with numerous strikes, y
Oberlies said.
The present plan of the board OF

employed by the government i'll

Oberlies stated today that the
board would visit the various sites
offered by Nebraska towns and that
a location for the reformatory would
be the first step in its erection.

Opposition Reported in Mid
West to Exempting American
Ships in Panama Does
Not Appear.
Hearings May Be Held

BY ARTHUR SEARS HENN1NG.
Chicago Tribune Omaha Bee Leased Wire.
Washington, May 9.-1he bill
exempting American ships from pay
ment of Panama canal tolls will ap-
ply to all American bottoms, instead
of coastwise vessels only, according
to the predictions of members of the
senate committee on interoceanic
canals, following their meeting today
to begin consideration of the meas
ure.
The committee, by large major
ity, favored such legislation and
Senator Johnston of California
moved to report the bill to the senate
at once. 1t was decided, however,
to afford mn opportunity for pro-
ponents and opponents of the, toll
exemption to be heard by the COM
mittec if they so desire, before final
action is taken by the committee.
Medwest May Object.
1t has been stated that the manu-
facturers and producers of the middle
west are strongly opposed to the ex-
emption bill. on the ground that the
remission of tolls would constitute
not only subsidy to American ships
using the canal. which arc less than
ore-fourth of all American shipping,
fhstf-
tid> \, .ter competitors. The conten-
ton is that the New York manufac-
turer, for example, shipping via the
canal in toll exempt ships, could lay
down his product i'll the Paclfic states
at much lower price than the
Illinois manufacturer shipping all
by rail-
Chairman Borah stated that no re-
quests for hearings had been received
from the opponents of the proposed
legislation and none of the mid
western senators and representatives
was on hand to argue against it be-
fore the committee today.
Midwestern organizations of man
ufacturers and other commercial in
terests and individuals desiring TO
submit arguments against the toll
exemption bills can arrange to be
heard by writing or telegraphing to
Senator Borah, who will set a date
for such hearing before the commit
tee considers action on the measures.
Repeal Toll Exemption.
In 1914, congress, at the request of
President Wilson. repealed the toll
exemption act of 1912, mainly on the
ground that it was violation of the
Hayne- -Pauncefote treaty providing
for equality of treatment of the
ships of all nations. The majority
of the committee, however, takes the
position that this provision means
equality of treatment for the ships
of all nations other than the United
States, the builder and protector of
the canal.

carry into effect the republican plat
