Senator Says Declination to
Submit Issue Would Be Re

I TRIBUNAL
IS SUGGESTED
Switzerland Would. Have Deciding
Voice, According to Proposed
flan Benefit of Exemption
i to Consumer Denied.
' WASHINGTON, May 1. Without
Waiting for the Panama tolls exemption
repeal bill to be called formally before
the Senate, Senator Norrls began de
bate today on the subject with an ap
peal for a resort to arbitration. He
favored the passage of the House re
peal measure, with an amendment ex
pressly declaring the United States
waived no rig-nts thereby, but called on
President Wilson to invite Great Brit
ain to arbitrate the dispute as to the
right of the United States to discrim
inate in favor of its own vessels.
The exemption of coastwise vessels
from tolls. Senator Norris contended,
amounted to nothing less than a sub
sidy to a class of vessels already en
Joying a monopoly and not deserving it
nearly as much as American vessels
engaged in the foreign trade and com
peting with all the ships of the world.
Benefit to Consumer Denied.
He argued that the exemption would
not benefit shipper or consumer, be
cause the difference in the cost of
transportation by rail and water was
so great 33 1-3 per cent that the
exemption would not affect the water
rate.
fie insisted the Government had no
more right to pay the legitimate cost
of transporting goods across the
isthmus than it had to build a free rail
road across the continent. Senator
Norris criticised the position taken by
Senator Lodge that the United States
has a right to discriminate in favor of
its own vessels, but should surrender
that right out of respect to the opinion
of the civilized world. On the other
hand, the Nebraska Senator said that
to decline to arbitrate the queslon
would be to reverse the pretenses the
United States has been- making in the
family of nations for years.
Makeup of Tribunal Suggested.
It would not do, he argued, to admit
the weakness ot the case by saying the
civilized world was against the United
States and therefore a fair tribunal of
arbitration could not be procured. He
suggested the court of arbitration con
sist of three members of the Supreme
Court of the United States and ' three
Judges of the highest court of England
with possibly the President of Switzer
land or a citizen of that country se
lected by the President of Switzerland
Bitting as the seventh member.

MANOS, Brazil, May 1. Colonel Theo

down the river, expecting to go direct
to the United States. Kermit Roose
velt, it is said, will go direct from Rio
Janeiro to Spain, as he -is soon to marry
the daughter of Ambassador Willard in

NEW YORK, May 1. Anthony Fiala,
the explorer in charge of one of the
Roosevelt expeditions in Brazil, re
turned here today with details of how
the Colonel wore out the Brazilian
hunters in their own familiar jungles.
Of one hunt for a tiger cat, Fiala said:
"The Brazilians did the best they
could and with the negro boys kept
up for several hours. But the pace eet
by the Colonel, even in their own jun
gle, was too much for them. Late at
night a boy returned to the camp and
said that the Colonel and Kermit were
about two miles off In the jungle. When
they finally came out their clothing
was torn to shreds and their arms and
legs were bleeding in many places. But
they were carrying the Brazilians' guns
and shoes. The Brazilians had quit and
were lying on their backs in a d;-y place
recuperating. The cat got away."
Piala said the Colonel had lost some
flesh but seemed to keep his health re
markably well. He added that the Bra
zilians regarded Colonel Roosevelt high.

bad previously exercised good offices. A
sixth development it was expected
would emphasize further what was be
ing done.
The conference of the Spanish Am
bassador with the mediators was to
discuss the general situation. As show
ing the directness of the mediators,
they are putting aside all diplomatic
circumlocution and sending cables di
rect to lluerta and Carranza and re
ceiving direct replies. '
Hurta'i Acceptance Published.
The text of the Huerta reply through
his Foreign Minister, accepting good
offices, which has heretofore been given
only in outline, was as follows:
"Mexico City. April 27. (Very ur
gent.) With reference to yesterday's
telegram, tell the Spanish Ambassador
that mediation is accepted in principle
and that we are) very much obliged
for his good offices, as well as to the
representatives of A, B-. C, which are
a proof of the solidarity of the peoples
of Spanish origin."
The Huerta reply to the armistice
proposal received last night was also
a direct cable to the mediators in re
sponse to their cabled inquiry.
The regular meeting ot the Cabinet
today was devoted largely to affaire
other than Mexico, showing that much
of the tension over the situation has
disappeared in Administration quarters.
Members of the Cabinet spoke hope
fully of the mediation prooeedlnKa and
felt from its present aspeet that it
would "work out."

States influence their attitude as an
independent and impartial tribunal de
tached from all pressure from any of
the parties concerned.
Secretaries Bryan and Daniels were
active during the day in their endeav
ors to neutralize the oil wells at Tam
pico. It developed that the local au
thorities at the town could take no
action until advised by their superiors.
So the British Embassy continued its
efforts to effect an understanding
with the Huerta government while the
United States communicated with
General Carranza. The reopening of
the American Consulate at Tampico is
expected to assist in keeping the wells
from being- destroyed. General Ara
gosa, tho federal commander, has prom
ised American Consul Miller protection.
Wells Capped With Cement.
Secretary Daniels said today he had
been informed that most of the wells
had been capped with cement and that
ordinary gunfire would not Ignite them.
Interference with foreign commerce
at Tampico caused much discussion at
the State and Navy Departments, but
no formal announcement of policy. Ac
cording to precedent. It was said, neith
er the rebels nor the federals have any
right to interfere with commercial
vessels, though they may seize the car
goes after they land.
At the War Department Secretary
Garrison announced his Intention of re
moving all the civil officers at Vera
Cruz, replacing them with Army offi
cers. Mr. Garrison said no reflection
was intended on the men already
chosen, as he did not know any of them,
but that it was customary under mili
tary operation for all officers to be
directly responsible to the War De
partment. He said Admiral Fletcher
had chosen civilians because the Navy
did not have the machinery for a mu
nicipal government, the Army having
legal oincers and others qualified to
handle a government such as was the
case in Cuba after the Spanish-Amer
ican War.
According to War Department offi
cials it is necessary to make the courts
at Vera Cruz military tribunals or dam
age suits against the civil government
mere mignt result in claims against
the American Government, martial law
relieving that possibility.

Huerta telegraphed to Mr. Canada
that he did not know that Dr. Ryan
was to be put to death, but that he
had ordered the federal commander at
Zacatecas to release him at once and
give him transportation to Mexico City.

promised to send him to Vera Cruz.
Representations in behalf of Dr.

-- No. 142 says that ten cents worth of wheat supplies almost
three times as much protein and ten times as much energy as
round steak, and with some other cuts of meat the difference is
even greater.
If then, one really desires to reduce her weekly meat and grocery
bills, she need only make more use of her oven.
