DOUBT OF BOAST IS HELD Senator Says Conditions Have Rap idly Grown Worse in Past Ten Years State AValrows lit Slough of Disgrace. WASHINGTON, Jan. 25. Senator Tillman today replied to the resolution recently adopted by the House of Rep resentatives of the South Carolina Leg islature, calling upon him to produce evidence in support of his charges of corruption in that body. The Senator declared he had done nothing except write a letter last Au gust, just before the state primaries, in answer to Governor Blease. in which he charged that the General Assembly had been influenced by railroad attor neys. This, he asserts, was a mere warning and could not be construed as a reflection on. any but the holdover State Senators. "I have boasted in my lectures In the North that there is not enough money in Wall street to buy South Carolina, and I believed it to be true. I still believe it to be true, but pub lic morals in the state have rapidy grown bad in the laBt 10 years, and I am coming to doubt whether my boast could now be made and sustained. We will see the temper of the General Assembly by its action in purifying and nrotectine the primary. It has the op portunity to lift the state out of the slough of despond and disgrace m which it now wallows." PROCTOR DIVORCE STANDS Former Baroness, Titanic Passenger, Fails to Annul Decree.

If Money Is- to Be Spent, Declares Taft Commissioner, Other Lines Should Get It. PHILADELPHIA, Jan. 23. Professor Johnson, special commissioner of the United States on Panama traffic and tolls, in an adoress here tonight said that the owners of vessels In the coast wise trade would derive greater bene fit from the Panama Canal than the owners of .any other vessels; that double the rate fixed by the President would not prevent coastwise carriers, from using that waterway; and that :n view of these facts it seemed Just that those who derived immediate benefit from the use of the canal should pay reasonable tolls. Professor Johnson, who spoke be fore the American Academy of Politi cal and Social Science, said the canal should be made commercially self supporting. He continued: "Ninety-nine shippers out of a hun dred will pay the same freight ratas. between the two seaboards whether there be tolls or no tolls charged the shipowners. "The owners of coastwise ships hava been relieved from the payment Jt tolls for the purpose of aiding the merchant marine under the American flag. The public funds, however, will go to shipowners that need no aid. and not to the owners of the American vessels that serve our foreign trade vessels that need assistance. "There are reasons why the United States might well seek to have a strong line of vessels under the Amer ican flag running from the west coast of the United States by way of Hawaii.
