"More lnllsli Than American." Carnegie Foundation Is Charged 'With Slander. WASHINGTON. May 7. Opposition to the bill for the repeal of the tolls exemption clause of the Panama Canal act was voiced in the Senate today in vitrorous speeches by Senators O'Gor- man and Bristow. Senator O'Gorman, chairman of the Senate inter-oceanio canals committee and loader of the opposition, based his protest on economic, lesral and po litical grounds. Senator Bristow said he opposed a bill which would bene fit England more than any other na tion, and declared that England had been the enemy of the United States in every hour of need since the Revolu tion. With these two speeches out of the way and others announced for tomor row and Saturday, the debate on the reneal bill ' may be completed next week. Many Senators are yet to be heard, but Democratic leaders desire to get through with the tolls issue as soon as possible. W,rk Would Deny Waiver. Senator Works today added another amendment to the many already pro posed for the perfection of the repeal bill. The amendment would provide that the United States by repealing the tolls exemption provision waives no right over the canal, and is similar to the amendment proposed by Senator Simmons, the leader of the forces back of the bill. "England," Senator Bristow said. 'has been our enemy in every hour of need and never once since, the Revolu tionary War patriots shed their blood at Bunker Hill has she not rejoiced when misfortune befell us. But never has the audacity of her selfishness been more manifest than at the present time. and unfortunately for this country we have an Administration in temporary charge of our National affairs which in its sentiment seems to be more Eng lish than American. Britain Chief Beneficiary. Senator Bristow pointed out that Crreat Britain, the principal protestantj against the toll exemption of Ameri can ships, owns about half the mer chant vessels which sail the seas. "In the construction of the canal," he said, "we have rendered her the greatest service ever rendered to one nation by another in the commercial history of the world, and this has been done without price or reward. Prob ably five timeB as many English ships will pass through it as American ships. In the face of this condition it cer tainly is an astounding pTopoBltlon for England to ask us to Incur all risk and then give her all the advantages in every detail that we have in the use of the canal. Yet this is what England asks -and what Mr. Wilson proposes we shall give her, "right or wrong," be cause she asks it." Senator Bristow asserted the Car negie Peace Foundation had spent . much money in carrying on a campaign to bring about the repeal of the tolls exemption law. "This association," he said, "has used its enormous resources to slander its own Government and stir up strife in its own country." O'Gorman Predicts Greater Contest. senator O'Gorman said that inas much as ex-Presidents Roosevelt and Taft and a preceding Congress agreed that coastwise vessels should be ex empt, another Congress should think twice before priving its approval to the repeal bill, for it in turn might find itself reversed, by a Congress yet to be elected. "This question of tolls," said the Sen ator, "is but an incident in a great contest now in its initial stage, which may determine the control of the Pan ama Canal for all time. The construc tion of the canal will rank among the worlds wonders, but the opinion of mankind will pronounce the surrender of our sovereignty over it a colossal blunder and a triumph of British diplomacy. "I know there is a vague suspicion that diplomatic reasons "require this National abasement, but my judgment, maturely formed and based upon such Information as is available, is that the gravity of our international relations has been grossly, though unconsciously, exaggerated. The American people want peace, but they fear no power on ORKCON WOODMEV SELECT NATIONAL. DELEOATE. I f -ILt V" -it " 4 r :- ' ! '' ? ; . Powell. Frank M ALBANY, Or., May 7. (Spe cial.) Frank M.

Interest on Delinquent Certificates Given Buyers With Xo Rebate, Is Allegation Traf Melting Covers Four Years. SPOKANE. Wash., May 7. (.Special.) Following two acquittals of ex-Coun ty Treasurer Zach Stewart on charges of unlawfully Juggling with interest funds alleged to belong to the county came the revelation today that a score of Spokane citizens have received something for nothing at the Treasur ers office. Many of these citizens are innocent of intent or knowledge of the peculiar transactions, but it is alleged others have been trafficking in the securities knowing they had a good thing. Expert F. u. Reinhard, employed by the County Commissioners to check the Treasurer's office, reports that the county lost 118,274.66 during a period from January, 1909, to January, 1913. The pork barrel, it la alleged, was delinquent tax certificates. They draw 16 per cent interest from the time tne taxes are delinquent in June each year. Purchasers of these certificates would buy in August, September or even later, and in hundreds of instances the full interest from the time or oeun quency would be given them without a rebate to the county. The expert reports: "As previously advised, the total amount of interest lost to the county is $13,274.56 as follows: "On certificates issued during 1909, $1671.61. "On certificates issued during 1910, $1103.94. "On certificates issued during 1911, $4277.85. "On certificates issued during 19.12, $6221.06. "Probably the worst feature encoun tered in examining the records in the County' Treasurer's office during the period mentioned was the matter of the different officials and employes of the office issuing certificates of delln quency to real and fictitious persons for the purpose that such officials and I employes might benefit by the interest which had actually been paid Into the County Treasurer's office."

MEANING OF X'S IS TOLD In Alienation Suit Plaintiff Denies That Marks Meant Kisses. SOUTH BEND. Wash., May 7. (Spe cial.) In alienation suit of William tMilkonen, against Captain Lundstedt, of Solano, the defendant under grilling cross-examination explained a half page of x's in an affectionate letter to the wife of the plaintiff, as meaning only that he was a poor writer in the Finnish language. The plaintiff's attorney tried to make Captain L.undstedt admit that the' x's were mean t for kisses. Thia the cap tain denied. were V ernal Backman and Clarence Bean, while the Oregon City debaters were Elbert Charman and William Mil ler. Each team had already talked its way through the preliminary series of debates to the finals in its section of the state. The Pendleton duo upheld the af firmative of the question, arguing for a gradual abandonment of the pro tective tariff and the placing of all in dustries Immediately upon a basis of duties covering the difference between the cost of production here and that abroad. However, this basis would be maintained a sufficient time only to give the industries an opportunity to adjust themselves to the new condi tions. TJie principle of tariff for reve nue only would then be applied com pletely, according to the plan of the affirmative team. In upholding the negative, the Ore gon City team maintained that some industries need to be prote6Hed perma nently to the extent of offsetting the difference between the cost of produc tion here and abroad. They further maintained that an entire abandonment of the protective policy would in time reduce the status of the American la borer to that of the foreign laborer. In rebuttal the affirmative met the latter argument by declaring that wages are regulated by the law of eun ply and demand and proposing that the wages of American laborers should be regulated by the proper restriction of immigration. Principal A. C. Hampton, of Pendle ton High School, has acted as coach of the successful team. "GLENHAVEN" NOT WANTED Ted varson Protests Proposed Change From "Jonesmore." J. Fred Larson appeared before the School Board yesterday to protest against the recommendation that the name of the Jones more school be chaneed to "Glenhaven."

Jonesmore is the largest subdivision of a tract known as Glen- baven. Mr. Larson said that virtually all of the present growth was in the immediate Jonesmore district and that there was a general spirit of protest in that territory against the change in name.
