2 THE 3IORXIXG OREGOXIAX, TUESDAY. APRIL 7. 1914. SENATOR LANE ON SIDE OF REPEAL Me-s&age as Good as Declares in Favor of Mr. Wilson's Tg4Is Measure. SOLEMN PLEDGE IS CITED larshfield Chamber of Commerce Fails to Get" Promise to Oppose President's Bill and Instead Finds It Defended. MARSHFIELD, Or., April 6. (Spe cial.) United States Senator Harry Lane, in replying to a telegram from the Marshfield Chamber of Commerce urging him to vote against the repeal of free tolls for American ships using the Panama Canal, has as good as de clared his intention of voting for the President's measure, although declining to express himself to that effect. In his telegram he says: "I am in receipt of your telegram of March 20, stating your view that the repeal of section C of the Panama Canal act, which exempts American vessels from tolls, would be unjust and detrimental to American shipping, and only in the interest of foreign nations and railroad companies, urging me to use my best efforts against the repeal of said section. "In reply I would say that the ques tion has not yet come up in the Senate, but will do so in a few days and there will be much discussion on the sub ject. President' View Told. It is merely a Question at this time I assume, as to whether or not the Government has made a pledge to al low other nations to use the canal on the same terms as our own. President Wilson has assured me personally, from his study of the question and perusal of state documents, etc., that he has been compelled to conclude, much against his personal preference in the matter, that this Government is under solemn obligation to permit Knglish vessels to use the canal on the same terms as our own. "As near as I can ascertain the facts, this Government, in the acquisition of the Canal Zone, and in its active par ticipation in bringing about a rebellion in the Nicaraguan government, by which it secured possession of the ter ritorv, has infringed upon the rights of England and Germany, and in orde to placate those countries was com Delled to yield this concession in re sard to tolls. It also found itself In nositton where it was compelled to purchase the French claims to the ca nal at an exorbitant price. Tolls Sjtem Favored. "If I had my way about the canal, would levy a toll upon all vessels go ing- through 1t, both American and ior eign. at a rate sufficient to pay in part for the expense of operating the same, also to provide a sinking fund which would eventually repay this country for its outlay. I would then endeavor to secure an agreement between all na tions for policing the same, prevent ing its destruction In time of war by any nation. This would save the American Government the heavy ex pense of having war vessels stationed at both ends of the canal, far from their base of supplies in this country. It would be the beginning of an inter national police system which would ' eventually put a stop to the upkeep of the Navy and would be an arrange ment fair to all. "I am retaining the privilege of vot ing upon this question purely on the merits of the proposition. "Thanking you for writing to me on this subject and assuring you that I will weigh the question carefully be fore casting my vote, I am. very truly jours, HARRY LANE.' BANKER TO BE CANDIDATE W. I. Vawter Accepts Tender Mjadc by Business Interest. 1IEDFORD. Or.. April 6. (Special.) As a result of solicitation by busi ness Interests W. I. Vawter, president of the Jackson County Bank, repre sentative from Jackson County two terms, former chairman of the ways and means committee of the House and a man prominent in the social and business circles of Southern Oregon, has consented to be a candidate for Joint Representative from Jackson and Donelas counties.

Ptone, a rancher of Central Poiit, and W. P. Mealey, a lawyer. other nations in conformity with In ternational diplomatic usage and cus tom, notwithstanding the fact that we have always deemed it preferable to avoid responsibility being thrust upon the United States by other powers as result of its attitude towards the political conditions now existing in the Republic of Mexico. In accordance witli the views above expressed, I have repeatedly stated and now reiterate that I am at all times disposed to give attention, for instance, to foreign representations brought to my attention through the offices of American -representatives, provided, of course, that we are notified that such mediation Is at the request of such Veign power. I can conceive of no setter evidence of the spirit of cordial ity and friendship which we bear to wards the United States than our will ingness to receive unofficial represen tations and claims made by the United States Government in regard to all matters concerning Its citizens within the republic of Mexico. Prestige Sfot to Be Sacrificed. In this regard I must, however, call your attention to the fact that we could not, without sacrificing our hard- tougnt-lor prestige, consider represen xations made through the good- offices of the United States in behalf of for eigners unless we be previously in formed that such mediation has been requested of the United States by the Interested nation. "As I desire to reciprocate with the disinterested suggestions of Senator Morris bheppard called .to my attention tnrougn your kindness, I beg of you to advise him of the ideas hereinabove expressed, which ideas are the expres sion, of our desire to harmonize Na tional dignity with the cordial relations which, on account of our common In terests and principles, must exist be tween the American and Mexican people. Assuring you of my pleasure In re peating the above principles, yours very truly, V. CARRANZA."

She writes: "About three months before the earth auake of 1906 I was stricken down with a most severe case of sciatic rheuma tism, and began taking electric treat ments. The fire coming along deprived me of those treatments. The shock and exposure at that time made my case apparently hopeless and unfitted me to take up my work. After taking many medicines, with poor results. I came to the conclusion that there was no cure for rheumatism, and was told the same by some doctors. "I noticed in the papers that Akos was highly recommended by many re sponsible San Francisco people. I called for one month's treatment, and. to my surprise, before the month was up saw a decided change for the better. j ' - k j Ji 1 CARPENTER FINDS WAY TO BUILD UP HEALTH Former Oregon City Builder Now Re siding Here Recommends Plant Juice to AIL Si "The first month I was married I baked my own bread.
