Wilson Will Read
Address on Tolls
Joint Session of Senate and House to
Emi President's Ideas on Xtepeal of
Tree Toll Clause Tomorrow.
Washington; March 4. President
Wilson's address,- to be read to con
gress tomorrow, advocating the repeal
of the clause exempting American
shipping- from tolls under the Panama
canal act, wilt be a short one, it was
stated today by officials in touch with
the chief executive. In substance, it
was said the president would tell the
lawmakers he considers the exemption
clause- a violation of the Hay-Paunce-f
ote treaty, and that he believes the
United States should respect such ob
ligations, both in letter and spirit.
It was understood the executive, as
usual, would read the message at the
Joint session of the two houses in per
son and the belief was general that it
would be the signal for the beginning
of a sharp fight over the canal tolls
question.
Both houses of congress arranged
today for a joint session tomorrow to
hear the president's address. Repub
lican members will line up solidly
against the exemption of the free tolls
clause from the canal act, as favored
by the president.
President Wilson conferred this
afternoon with Representative Coving
ton regarding the chances for early
passage of a bill repealing the exemp
tion clause.

That the censor had prevented the

The writer expressed the strong
opinion that the Englishman was lnno
;cent of the .offense charged against
lilm. His belief was that officials, en
dangered by the graft investigation,
were trying, by making him a scape
goat, to divert attention from them
selves. He inferred that they chose Poolev
as the victim of their plot partly be-j
cause, as a. newspaper correspondent,
he probably knew more than they liked
of the scandal, partly because he was
unpopular with Japanese officialdom
as a result of repeated refusals to
suppress news at their request, and
partly because he was Just quitting
his post with Reuters and might be
j presumed to have less Influence than
previously.
He lost his position as a result of an
arrangement by which Reuters with
drew from Japan under an agreement
j to exchange news with a newly organ
.' j. lzed semi-officoal Japanese agency
.headed by J. R, Kennedy, former Jap
anese correspondent for the- Associated

It was considered certain that diplo

OF CARL GRAY
HILL TAKE POSITION
St, Paul Report Says Hill to
j Be President of the Great
Northern Temporarily.
United Press Leased Wire.)
St. Paul. Minn., March 4. That
Louis W. Hill does not Intend to re
main permanently as president of the
Great Northern railway was reported
here today on what seemed to be good I
authority. He took the post intending J
to hold It, it was said, only until a !
(Suitable man could be found to relieve
him.
The story gave fresh rise to rumors
that Carl R. Gray's retirement from
the presidency was due to pressure
from the Hill interests. If Gray had
retired, as ne said he did, simply
because he had found a broader field
in the east, good Judges of the situa
tion remarked that it was unlikely
that he would have done so so sud
denly as to necessitate a stop gap
appointment of a successor to him.
j Moreover, commentators on the sit
uation could not see why the Western
Maryland railroad afforded him a larg
er field than did the Great Northern,
unless, perhaps, it was added, he meant
that his hands would be more free to
run the Western Maryland as ha saw
fit than was the case with the Great
Northern.
ihe general opinion was that the
slump in the Great Northern's earnings
since Gray became president In 1912
had caused dissatisfaction on the Hills'
part, and that really that was the
reason for the change. Whether or not
the Hills had anyone else In mind for
the position, nobody seemed to know.
O-ray definitely announced today that
he would leave for the Atlantic coast
March 10 to take up his new work,
