EXEMPTION IS OPPOSED

I S-Afc
Views of ex-Ambassador Expressed
in Icttcrs to John Hay Equal
ity oT United States and Brit
ain "Constant Tlicmc."
WASHINGTON, April 16. Joseph H.
Choate, Ambassador to Great Britain
Pauncefote treaty, believes the corre
Bpondence -with the British government
at that time precludes the idea that
American coastwise shipping can be
exempted from paying tolls through
the Panama Canal.
Ex-President Taft, who signed the
Panama Canal act containing the ex
emption clause, thought that in doing
so he was granting a subsidy to
American coastwise shipping, and be
lieves that unless Congress reverses
itself the United States will have to
submit the question to arbitration.
Toft's Addrei Introduced
These points, both welcomed by the
advocates of repeal, were brought out
today at the hearing before the Senate
committee on interoceanic canals. Sen
ator Simmons introduced a. transcript
of an address delivered by Mr. Taft
before the Canadian Club at Ottawa
last January, and Mr. Choate's views
were submitted in-a letter to Henry
White, secretary of the American em
bassy at London while Mr. Choate was
Ambassador, accompanied by several
letters addressed by him to Secretary
of State Hay explaining the progress
of the negotiations. Mr. Choate wrote
that the negotiations "established be
yond question the Intent of the parties
in the negotiations that the treaty
should mean exactly what it says and
excludes the possibility of the exemp
tion of any kind of vessels of the
United States. Equality between the
United States and Great Britain is the
constant theme."
Lanadovrne's Attitude Reviewed.
He reviewed the attitude of Lord
Lansdowne by saying that "he abro
gated the Clayton-Bulwer treaty, gave
us an American canal, ours to build as,
and where, we liked, to own, control
and govern, on the sole condition of
its being always neutral and free for
the passage of the ships of all nations
on equal terms, except that if we get
into a war with any nation we can
Ehut its ships out and take care of
ourselves."
Mr. Taft in his address asserted:
'There are some hotheads that talk in
absurd tones about the right of the
United States to manage her own canal
and her own property as she likes, no
matter what she has agreed to, but
this is all froth. These are the explo
Eivistas." He added that he had hd
Idea of breaking a treaty, but the ques
tion was "what the treaty means."
Dr. Ernst Richard, of New York,
president cf the German-American
Peace Society, and James Cowles, of
Washington, D. C. were the only wit
nesses before the committee today.
Dr. Richard declared the Unit?d States
should live up to treaty obligations,
nd said the only people to gain by
coastwise shipping exemption would
be shipowners.
GRAZING ENTRIES FAVORED
House Committee Reports Bill to
Allow 640-Acre Entries. :
WASHINGTON. April 16. A bill to
provide for the opening to homestead
entry of "stock-raising lands" in the
public domain was reported to the
House today by the public lands com
mittee. It was agreed on after con
ferences between the House and Sen
ate members and officials of the Inte
rior Department.
The measure would authorize the
secretary to designate as subject to
entry in tracts of not more than 640
acres "lands, the surface of which is,
in his opinion, chiefly valuable for
grazing or raising crops and which,
in his opinion, do not contain mer
chantable timber and are not suscepti
ble of irrigation from any known
source of water supply."
Entrants in order to perfect title
would be required to make perma
nent improvements on the land tending
to increase its value for-stock raising
purposes amounting to at least 11.25
an acre.
BERLIN HITS CANADIANS
Representative or Bourse Members
Would Escludo Road's Stock.
BERLIN. April 16. A banker repre
senting many members of the Berlin
Bourse applied oday to the listing com
mittee to exclude any further listings
of Canadian Pacific stock because the
prospectus Issued by the company in
March for $60,000,000 of new stock con
tained no mention of the case pending
lor the reduction of Western freights.
The petitioner declares that such a
suppression of information would debar
any German company from further list
ings. The committee did not indicate
what action it would take.

GET RID OF
Dry. moist, scaly tetter, all forms
of eczema or salt rheum, pimples and
other eruptions come from humors,
which may bo either inherited or ac
quired through defective digestion and
assimilation.
To treat these eruptions with dry
ing medicines is dangerous.
Hood's Sarsaparilla, the old reli
able medicine, helps the system to
discbarge the humors, and to im
prove the. digestion and assimilation.
From your druggist get Hood's
Sarsaparilla. which may be confi
dently relied upon to do its work. It
purifies the blood, tones the stomach,
and builds up the whole system. It
goes to the roots of diseases, and its
beneficial results are permanent. It
sets thino to rights in the system.
Remember to ask for Hood's 8arisa
parilla, because nothing else acts like
it and nothing can take its place.

SALEM BEER
the most popular beverage on the
Pacific Coast?
SALEM BEER is brewed in one of the most modem
plants on the Pacific Coast. It is aged in steel
glass-lined tanks. It is conveyed by modern pipe
line system direct to the bottle house, bottled under
pressure and therefore never comes in contact with
the air from the time it leaves tbeferzuenting tank
until the bottle is opened by the consumer. The
consumer is absolutely assured a beer of ideal
effervescence, snap and purity.
A trial will surely convince any one of the ex
