Exemptions Is Voted

Believed Measure Will
Be Indefinitely De-
layed There
By Associated PrPssl

Washington, Oct. 10.-The Borah
bill for tolls exemption Of American
coast wise vessels passing through
the Panama canal was passed by the
senate today, Al to 81. The measure
goes to the house where it is expect
ed it will be subject to indefinite de-
Law in consideration, at least until
after the conference of limitation Of
armament.
Before proceeding to a final vote
the senate rejected without a roll
call, two substitutes offered by SEN
ator King, Democrat, Utah, to au-
thorize the President to negotiate
the arbitration of the tolls question
and to appropriate $6,OOO,OOO as a
subsidy for American vessels using
the canal. Debate on the Borah pro-
posal disclosed a split in party ranks
opponents declaring the bill was in
opportune while Senator Borah, Re-
publican, Idaho, declared he had
talked with President Harding and
Secretary Hughes and they did not
share such views.
Twelve Democrats voted for the
bill on the roll call, while seventeen
Republicans voted in opposition, so
that the Democratic support was re-
earded as the determining factor.

Left His Impress Here
The history of Putnam county
bears the impress of the individu-
ality and ability of John P. Wall, who
in various ways was identified with
its material development and with
its political activity. While repre-
senting his district, in the state
senate, his official record was one
which reflects credit and honor upon
the state of Florida. He was born in
Barnwell, South Carolina, January
%, 1848, and came of Irish, English
and Welch ancestry. His parents
were Eliza and Mary Angelina (Rob-
erts) Wall, who were also natives
of the district in which their son was
born, but in 1849 moved to Florida.
On coming to Florida his partnts
settled in Putnam Hall, where their
days were spent. They
were among the first settlers of this
section of the state and secured the
land on which they farmed from the
