CITE SUNDAY OR EG ONI AN, PORTLAND, APRIL 19, 1914. TO TOLLS OPPONENTS Ex-Secretary Bonaparte Says Not to Retain Control of Canal Is Absurd. POSSIBLE ENEMIES PROFIT Garrison Would Be Forced to Stand Idly By Even While Japanese Fleet Steamed Through to Attack Atlantic Cities. WASHII.n'OX, April 18. Advocates r.t the exemption of American coast vis& vessels from Panama Canal tolls liad their inning- today before the Sen ate canal committee, when the first witness appeared in opposition to the repeal of the exemption clause. Ex-Attorney-General Charles J. Bon-appj-te, of Baltimore, Russell L. Dunn, ot Kan Francisco, and Representative Humphrey, of Washington, attacked the repeal on various grounds. James Brown Scott, secretary of the Carnegie Kndowment for International Peace, was questioned by Senators Bristow and O'Gorman as to the motives of the organization in participating in the propaganda for the repeal of the ex emption clause. Conditions Declared Different. Mr. Bonaparte asserted no nation would have been so foolish as to build the canal with the understanding that it was to derive no special privileges from the canal. He said the position that the United States was bound by the same conditions in the use of the canal as the other nations of the world was "unreasonable and absurd under all circumstances." "If we were at war with Japan, our garrison on the Isthmus," said he, "would be mere Idle spectators of the peaceful passage of the Japanese fleet to attack New Orleans or New York. If we were at war with Germany, the troops would look tranquilly on while Herman vessels traversed it to take San Francisco, and the net result of our enormous expenditure for the con struction of the canal would be to make our coast much more vulnerable than It was before." Mr. Bonaparte contended that the rules of construction required the Hay Pauncefote treatji to be interpreted as not requiring the United States to use the canal on the same terms as the other nations of the world. Bounty Regarded ah Winer. He contended there was no question that the exemption granted a bounty to the owners of coastwise vessels and added he believed it would have been wiser, as a matter of form, to collect the tolls and refund them. As a general rule of law. Mr. Bena parte told the committee, when one person grants "to all persons" a right to use his property, the grantor is not understood as including himself among those to whom the grant is made. A specific expression to include the grantor is necessary to bind the owner to the conditions, he added. "Applying this principle to the pres ent case," he continued, "if it had been the intention of the parties to this treaty .that the United States should use he canal only on the same terms as other powers, then to give effect to that understanding the United States ought to have promised in so many words to observe these rules In its own use of the canal. Western Industries Affected. Russell L. Dunn, of San Francisco, said the collection of tolls on Ameri can coastwise ships would Interfere with the passing of California lumber through the canal. He eaid that a re duction In the price of California, pe troleum would follow if that product passed through the canal with no tolls. He said that "free tolls'" would develop borax production in California. Representative Humphrey said the benefits the Pacific Coast states had expected from the canal were about to be given to British Columbia. Senator Bristow aroused Dr. Scott's ire by asking If the Carnegie endow ment was not espousing the claim of Great Britain in advocating the repeal of toll exemption and circulating some 700,000 copies of Senator Root's speech favoring the repeal. Dr. Scott Insisted neither he nor the endowment was consciously advocating the cause of England, but that they had taken their position irrespective of what Great Britain desired.

DRUG EVILS ARE SHOWN Prisoners, in Tombs Sec Picture Drama or Terrors of Habit. , NEW YORK, April 16 Two hundred prisoners in the Tombs, many of them owing their downfall to the use of drugs, according to officials of the De partment of Correction, saw six reels of moving-picture films dramatizing the terrors of the drug habit. The faces of many of them showed that the les son struck home, and one muttered as n. particularly telling scene flickered before his eyes: "That shows you what the eiuff will do. It's to get the habit." The pictures were shown with the approval of Commissioner Katharine B. Davis, of the Department of Correction. HEARING GIVEN Those present to observe the effect of the scenes on the prisoners were Bur dette G. Lewis, Deputy Commissioner of Correction; Ernest K. Coulter, coun sel for Mrs. William K. Vanderbilt in her campaign against the drug evil, which resulted in the recent passage of stringent bills at Albany to suppress the traffic: Frederic H. Robinson, of "The Medical Review of Reviews"; Dr. Helen Knight and Charles B. Towns, a specialist in drug habit cures. The films were presented in two runs, first for the oldtimers on the seventh and eighth tiers and then for those on the firth and sixth tiers, ranging in age from 18 to 30 years. Among the pris oners were 10 who are awaiting trial for homicide. After they had viewed the pictures a number of the prisoners were interro gated with a view to finding out what sort of an impression had been made upon them. Mr. Lewis said that he believed the pictures had a good effect on the men. many of whom owed their present troubles to the use of drugs. He said that the pictures did not portra'y some of the worst phases of drug evil, al though they were telling in their ef fect. It is proposed to take the reels later to Bedford Reformatory and to Hart's Island. 'DRVPLATFORM ADOPTED HOOSIER PROGRESSIVES INDORSE HOBSOX RESOLUTION. Senator. I'olndextcr, of Waabincton, Starts Boom for Roosevelt In Speech to Convention. INDIANAPOLIS, April 18. The plat form of the Progressive party, unani mously adopted today at the state con vention; pledges the party to work for the elimination of all breweries and saloons in the state and Indorses the Hobson resolution now before Con gress. The platform attacks the Dem ocratic Administration and criticises its Mexican policy. Other planks indorse the initiative, referendum and recall for all elective and Judicial offices, a state-wide di rect primary law, the short ballot, equal suffrage for women, home rule for cities, elimination of the judiciary from politics, prohibition of injunc tions in labor disputes, revision of state laws to eliminate technicalities, a min imum wage for women, free school books and a law to compel the giving of ample notice before a strike or lock out. Another plank opposes the approval of any treaty with Colombia which provides for the payment of $25,000. 000 to that country. Albert J. Beverldge, ex-United States Senator, was Indorsed unanimously for United States Senator. He accepted the nomination. Senator Poindexter. of Washington, in a speech before the convention, launched a, Roosevelt boom. He criti cised the Administration's policy to ward canal tolls, and added: "Now it is proposed in pursuance of the same futile policy to pay $25,000, 000 of the people's money to the Repub lic of Colombia, presumably to buy its good will. There seems to be a mania in this Administration for making treaties. It is urged as a " basis of peace. As a matter of fact, they are the source of our controversy and dis agreement, leading to unfriendly rather than peaceful relatione. This proposal of $25,000,000 to Colombia is nothing but an unwarranted raid upon the American Treasury." SIX WED IN ONE, CEREMONY St. Louis Woman Sees" Two Sons and Daughter Married ii Day. ST. LOUIS, Mo., April 15. Three members of the Wors family were parties to a triple wedding per formed in the office of Justice Werre meyer In Clayton.

BULL MOOSE, NOT FEARED Politician of 78 Say 9 Republican Candidate in 1916 Is Likely to Be Some Man "Wlio Is Not Generally Known Yet. NEW TORK. .April 14 Uncle Joe Cannon arrived at the Waldorf recently with a pocket full of cigars and a heart full of optimism for everything and everybody save the Democratic party, which Uncle Joe firmly believes la headed straight for perdition. Leaning back In his chair and cocking his feet on the table, he grumbled: "Who wants to hear from an old re actionary?" "Millions. Mr. Cannon," ventured a reporter. "They'd like to know how you feel at 78; what you think is going to happen to the Republican party; whether you are going back to Con gress " "Well," Uncle Joe broke in. "I've had a helluva time with the grippe. It had me tied up in double bow knots, but I'm feeling pretty chipper now. I'm going to Bermuda in a few days, after I run over to Washington to. see some people. I have always wanted to visit Bermuda it ought to be a good place for an old 'has been' to boil out in. "Let me tell you about the Republican party, son. I wouldn't trade even on its chances for victory in 1916. Not even, by a darn sight. What's more, I thing we'll win a majority of the House next November. I don't believe we'll get the Senate. There are a lot of little states that will keep on sending Demo cratic Senators because they started wrong end foremost, but I'm betting we'll have the best hand in the House showdown. "Me? Wait a minute. Have a cigar. Got her lit? All right. I'm just as sure as I'm setting here that I'll be returned to Congress next November. They only beat me 700 votes last time, but the Bull Mqose are petering out in my dis trict and the Republicans are getting a lot more gumption. My judgment Is that the Bull Moose is losing out all over the country." "How about Colonel Roosevelt in 1916, Mr. Cannon?" "Well, what about him?" snapped the elder statesman. "I don't believe Theo dore Roosevelt is as popular today as he was 13 months ago by a sight. Where's he going to get his votes from? I don't believe he'll get any more Re publicans, but if these Democrats keep a-yank yankin' around in Congress he'll get some of their votes. There goes that infernal telephone." Uncle Joe informed a woman that she wanted Senator Cannon of Utah, not Joe Cannon of Danville, I1L "Who do you think the most likely Republican for a Presidential nomina tion?" the reporter asked when Uncle Joe surged back to the. easy. chair. "Let me answer that," he replied, "by asking you how many of the 100,000,000 people in this country ever heard of Woodrow Wilson three years and a half ago? The woods and corn fields are full of good Presidential timber. My notion is that the nominee is very like ly to be a man you hardly ever heard of. a brand-new discovery. Don't know but what that would be the most sensi ble thing anyway." "Tlng-a-ling-a-ling-a-ling!" called the telephone, and Uncle Joe uttered a com ment which Is never printed In the Congressional Record or other family Journals. He was back in a minute and had a fresh cigar going with the expertness of a prestidigitator. WOOD BRIQUETS PAY BRITISH COLUMBIA MILLS FIND PROFIT IN NEW FUEL. Sawdust, Bark, Chins and Other Waste Lumber Products Made Useful. New Industry Promising. OREG'ONIAN NEWS BUREAU. Wash ington. April 18. The high cost of fuel can be greatly reduced and the profits of lumber mills in Oregon and other Coast -states materially increased if the lumber manufacturers will follow the example of their British Columbia com petitors and convert their sawdust, slabs, bark, chips and other waste into briquets. In Victoria and in Vancouver lumber mill waste is now being treated and made into briquets at a cost of about 13 a ton. The briquets find a ready market at $6 a ton and are prov ing superior to coal or wood for many uses. In describing the sawdust briquet In dustry of Victoria and Vancouver, Consul-General Mansfield, stationed at the latter city, says this industry is Just becoming well established in British Columbia, but because of the success thus far met promises to assume large proportions. It has been found by the British Columbia experimenters that there is a loes of about 20 per cent of the cut in the manufacture of lumber, and the residue from the cutting of 1000 feet of lumber has been found ample to make one ton of briquets. The total waste of the British Columbia mills, he estimates, would make an nually $1,417,000 worth of briquets. If made according to the approved process now in' vogue in the two cities to the north. The sawduet briquet process was de veloped in British Columbia in response to the demand for cheap fuel which Would produce less ash than coal and be less expensive than either coal or wood.

CAREY PROJECTS TO WAIT Desire to Join States In Completion of Works Is Futile Unless Con gress Passes loan Bill to Provide Funds. OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU, Wash ington, April 18. Notwithstanding the desires of Secretary Lane, the Federal Government will be unable to do much in .the line of co-operation with the Western states to complete Carev act and other private Irrigation projects that are in trouble, unless Congrress passes a bill authorizing: an additional loan to the reclamation fund. While the desire of Secretary Lane was made apparent at the recent con ference of Governors at Denver. It is to be remembered that the Interior Department has allotted to Govern ment projects practically every dollar remaining: in the reclamation fund, in cluding: (20.000,000 lent to the fund by authority of Congress Several years aero. Moreover, Secretary Lane has di rected that rapid progress be made on all the Government projects for which allotments have been made. Bills Are Plgreon-Holed. When Congress convened last De cember Secretary Lane advocated a loan of $100,000,000 to the reclamation fund and had in mind a plan of co operating: with the state to- complete private projects that threaten to be come failures unless some outside aid is given. Congress has not acted upon the Secretary's recommendation; bills authorizing: such a loan are in the pigeon-holes of the Senate and House committees on irrigation, and appar ently little effort is being- made by Western Senators to get action on the loan bill. This particular loan, however.

It was found long: ago that the money now available will not be sufficient to complete all existing: Gov ernment projects and it was this dis covery that first induced the Secretary of the Interior to recommend a loan. Administration Support Needed. Apparently only one thing: will push the reclamation loan bill through Con gress, and that is the influence of the Administration. Every measure that bears the Administration stamp goes through both Senate r.nd House with out serious objection. The reclamation loan bill, of course, will be objected to by. Eastern Congressmen and those from the South, for those two sections have never been favorably inclined towards reclamation, but the Influence of one President forced the reclama tion bill through Congress, and the Influence of another can get the J100. 000.000 loan recommended by Secre tary Lane. Without the influence of the Presi dent behind it, this will will have hard sledding. As yet the President has done nothing to aid in securing the passage of the bill so strongly rec ommended by his Secretary of the In terior.
