Officers in Reserve
Corps Are Classified

Washington, April 24.--The 10000
officers in the reserve corps are be-
ing classified so that men fitted for
each definite assignment can be To-
Gated and called into active duty in
event of national emergency. The
War department announced that it
expected a complete record of every
officer in the organized reserves
would be in the hands of nine corps
commanders not later than June IS.
Although stating that the prelim-
mary classification was not expected
to be anywhere near perfect, the War
department said zone of the great
advantages of organizing the reserve
forces in time of peace is that the
mistakes of classification and assign
ment can be tested and corrected,
whereas the compilation of these
most important records and assign
ments are practically impossible to
obtain in time of emergency"

Republicans Complete
Plans for Restoring
Peace by Resolution

Washington, April 24.-Plans of
republican congressional leaders for
effecting peace by congressional
resolution were completed at an in
formal conference.
The Knox resolution to that end
probably will be reported to the
senate Monday by the foreign rela-
tons committee as revised, in tech
nical, by Senator Knox of Pennsyl-
vania. Debate in the senate will be-
gin Tuesday or Wednesday and will,
il is believed, be comparatively short.
As a matter of general party
policy most of the senate democrats
are expected to oppose the Knox
resolution, but republican leaders ex-
pect number of democratic votes.
A peace resolution similar to the
Knox measure is to be introduced
Monday by Chairman Porter of the
foreign affairs committee. Republi-
can leaders were said to have agreed
that the senate resolution would be
awaited before any action should be
taken in the house. The Knox and
Porter resolutions will be considered
concurrently in the house

Panama Canal Toll Fight
Proposed Legislation to Exempt American Ships Des'

Consideration This Week.

were paid by 1881 American ships,
S5,3s7,357 by S67 British ships, $685.
643 by l22 japanese ships and S4ll,-
Az by III Norwegian ships.
Surplus Predicted.
The maintenance cost, including
100000 for betterments, was $7,44S,
272, leaving surplus of $2,847 900
Since the canal was opened the up
keep cost has been $36,000,00O and
the aggregate tolls $34,000,000, but i,
is estimated that after July mex,
there will be surplus of S5,000,00C
a year at present toll rates with
American ships paying tolls.
The opposition to toll exemption is
based on a variety of contentious. |,
is asserted that it would be a viola
ton of the treaty and that even if a
new understanding with Great Bri-
tain is reached the exemption would
be a subsidy to American tonnage
using the canal, as well as discrim-
ination in favor of the seaboard pro-
ducing and shipping interests against
competing interests in the middle
west, which must depend ON rail
transportation. A Chicago manufac-
turer, for example, could not lay
down his rail transported product in
California so cheaply as his New
York competitor shipping via canal
toll free. 1t is contended that new
understanding with Great Britain can
be reached only by making conces-
sions valuable to England and which
will be tantamount to yielding in
matters of vital consequence to the
whole nation in order to procure a
privilege of benefit to a fraction OF
American shipping and to seaboard
interests.
American and Canadian ships now
pass through the Canadian canal on
equal terms and by some it is feared
that the proposed Panama discrim-
nation in favor of the American
ships would lead to retaliation by
Canada, both in regard to the present
canals and the contemplated St
Lawrence waterway

switchmen, drove to East Omaha late

tanned considerable doubt as to
whether they were the original four.

revolvers and relieved Adams of $ll
in cash. His companions had no
money with them and suffered no
loss.
Adams. farmer, reported the mat
ter to police. He admitted that when
they left the Bluffs in his ,automo-
bile about midnight they intended to
find the -Four Roses" roadhouse and
determine whether it was in operation
or not.
Last Wednesday night the place
was open, according to reports, but
Thursday it was dark and quiet. 1t
was found that Bluffs police had
threatened to obtain a permanent in
junction against the building if ii
continued to operate. Friday night
however, parties were holding forth
in full blast again, according to news

investigate the resort themselves. Be-
fore they reached it, they were
stopped by the gang OF highwaymen

BY ARTHUR SEARS HENNING.
Chicago Tribune Omaha Bee Leased Wire,


Washington, April 24.-Proposed
legislation exempting American ships
from the payment of Panama canal
tolls is destined to stir up a big rue
ton in congress in which President
Harding is expected TO take hand
at an early date.
The senate committee OH inter
oceanic canals of which Senator
Borah is chairman, is scheduled to
begin consideration this week, of the
Borah bill cxempting American
coastwise ships and of the Jones and
Poindexter bills exempting all
American ships from canal charges.
The republican national platform
last year, for the first time, declared
for toll exemption for all American
ships, but Senator Boraf, who en-
dorses the platform declaration,
thinks that, in view of the opposition,
it will be easier to put through a
bill applying to coastwise ships only.
Free tolls were, endorsed in the DEM
ocratic platform of 1912. but rcpudi-
ated in 1914 by President Wilson.
u. S. Ships Exempted.
Senators Borah, Knox and most
other advocates OF toll exemption
hold that such legislation would not
be in contravention of the Hay
Pauncefote treaty with Great Britain
under which the United States built
the canal, contending that the pro-
vision for equal passage terms to
the ships of all nations applies only
to the ships of all nations, other
than the United States.
President Harding favors toll ex-
emption, but has indicated that it
should be achieved through new
understanding with Great Britain.
Whether he will halt the proposed
legislation, pending negotiations with
England or endeavor to adjust after
ward. any differences arising with
Great Britain or other nations from
the exemption remains to be seen.
Last year the canal earned $40, !.
295,362 in tolls, of which $4,724,494
