PANAMA BACKS
DOWN ON PLAN
Of RESISTANCE
President Porras Orders
Coto Evacuated for
Costa Rican Officials.
Washington Notified
Territory Will Be
Given up by Country.

Panama, Aug. 23.-(By the Associ-
ated Press. )-COto has been ordered
evacuated by the civilian authorities
so that the Costa Ricans on their ar
rival will find no Panama government
representatives, Ricardo Alfaro. Sec
retary of government and justice. made
this announcement Tuesday afternoon.
The Pan-American government has
notified the state department in Wash
ington that Pan-America will not re-
sist by force the demands of the Unit
ed States that Costa Rica be permit
ted to occupy the disputed territory.
President Porras of Panama made this
statement to the Associated Press.
The same would not have been the
case in connection with a demand or
ultimatum from Costa Rica alone,
which would have been rejected BY
the PanAmerican people by force of
arms, the message to the American
government said.
''The Panama government Presl-
dent Porras continued, before taking
definite decisions as to the attitude it
should assume and with regard to the
terms in which the last note from the
United States must be answered. be-
lieves the time opportune to make
clear certain points. In this connection
it sent a cable dispatch to Washington
Saturday afternoon, addressed to Mar
ciso Garay (the Panaman foreign min
lister, who is visiting the American cap
itaD, which constitutes decisive
declaration of what the chief executive
of Panama believed to be MS duty"
A paraphrase of this dispatch fol-
lows:
The panaman government is under
the impression that the last note from
the state department is couched in such
terms that it permits of the interpret
alton that the United States is standing
aloof from the conflict between Pan
anna and Costa Rica, but that it will
permit the resumption of hostilities
Immediately it is intimated to us that
Costa Rica will proceed to destroy by
force the status which has existed for
seven years since the Porras-Anderson
agreement
This government agrees that while
Panama will not resist by force the
demands of the United States. the case
is not the same as if there had been
demand or ultimatum from Costa
Rica, which would be rejected by the
sPanaman people, who would use force
against force and for which purpose
Panama Immediately would begin prep
arations.
Panama wishes to reach an under
standing as regards this point before
answering the last note from the state
department of the United States to the
end that she may be able to determine
precisely if any new armed conflict
with Costa Rica threatens or if this is
to be the end of an incident with the
United States which. while it is much
to be regretted, is only of diplomatic
character. This means that Panama
desires to know whether the United
States intends not to permit Panama
to use force against the announced
intention of occupation by Costa Rica."

WESTERN GRAIN MEN
CLAIM EASTERN GUT
DOES NOT HELP THEM
Reduction to Meet Canadian
Line Rate from Chicago to
Atlantic Coast no Benefit.

| Washington. Aug. o3-Witnesses
for western grain men testified before
the interstate commerce commission
Tuesday that eastern railroads had
reduced rates on grain from Chicago
to Atlantic ports for export in order
to meet competition from Canadian
carriers which previously had effected
radical reductions. The hearings are
being held to determine whether do
mestic rates on grain and hay shall be
reduced.
The grain men introduced the testi-
mony, they said, to combat impress
sions that the reductions on export
grain would benefit the farmer and
increase the amount of grain exported.
Application Placed In Record.
Over the objection of attorneys for
the carriers their recent application
for authority to reduce by seven and
one half cents hundred pounds grain
freight rates from Mississippi river
territory to the Atlantic coast was
placed in the record. 1t said:
The proposed reduction is to meet
competition of the lake and rail rates
from Chicago via Buffalo and the
Georgian bay ports. An extraordinary
volume of grain has moved from Chica-
go via the lake routes during the
present season as compared with pre-
viOus seasons.
Your petitioners do not feel that
they can further forego participating
in this traffic particularly in view of
the fact that at this time the volume
of general tonnage moving is particu-
larly light
Claims Average Lower
c. b. Bee, rate expert for the Mis-
souri, railroad commission, introduced
statistics intended to show that the
movement of grain from Chicago via
the lakes never had been more than
100000 bushels or an average of
II per cent in any previous June, but
due to the Canadian rates. 14,161 900
bushels or % per cent of the total, had
moved by lake this year.
While Daniel Kelly, rate expert for
the South Dakota railroad commission, |
was on the stand, Commissioner Pot
ter asked whether the solution to the
whole problem of high rates would not /
be reduction of operating expenses
and whether another wage reduction |
of railroad workers could not be ex-
pected to be reflected in lower freight |
rates Mr.. Kelly replied that in all
both could be expected.
