additional charge Imposed upon

Pacific to the Atlantic.
s The house put In a full day In discus
Ion of the measure; during Which It was
, sharply attacked by members from
,. Washington and California, led by Jlv
. resentatlve , Johnson of Washington.
Kastern members retaliated by charging
that the far western members were self.

The climax of the fight came when
Representative Hadley, of Washington
- offered an amendment providing that
i the existing' rules of measurement shall
apply to. all vessels in the coastwise
'''.trade, which would restrict the new leg
islation to -vessels In foreign trade. This
was defeated by a vote f 40 pa 14.

"Two bottles of Tanlac have helped
R)e so much that I feel like I have a new
.lease on life," was the statement of
games P. Kidney, Olympic hotel,' Portland,-
Or., who for 37 years baa been
foreman doing bridge work on the Uniou :
. Pacific.- Southern Pacific and Santa Fe
railroads. "'.:-.. v..
"I suffered from a bad case of stom
ach trouble," continued Mr. -Kidney,
- "and I got where I didn't want a thing
to eat and X had to force myself to sat
a little something to keep alive. I was
badlv constipated apd all the time I
had a heavy feeling right In the pit of
my stomach, just like my food had
rolled up In one big mass. ' My tight
arm from the tips of my fingers to my
l elbow would sometimes have a tingling
sensation just like somebody was stick
ing thousands of -needles In me and
the skin would itch so bad that I almost
felt like tearing It off. My blood circu
lation was bad and - at times my body
would get numb and cold all over, and
' I was so restless when I went to bed
that I hardly ever slept more than half
.the night, and in the morning I felt
' ' so tired out that often I would get up
- with an awful headache. t
When I started taking Tanlac I was
tnveucb a run-down, weakened condition
.that I had no Idea It Would do me any
good for all the ether medicines I had
. taken hadn't helped me a particle. I
r have just finished my second bottle of
Teniae now, and I am actually ashamed
ef the- way I eat ; why, I can hardly get
. enough, and ray stomach Is in such fine
. shape that I can eat Just anything I
please nd not hart a pain afterwards.
- My bleed circulation Is good now, and
the Itching and tingling in my right arm

constipated. When I wake UP every
morning now I have slept so sound all
night long that It just makes me feel

which permitted free passage through
the canal to American vessels. !
' "Representative Fordney of .Michigan
asserted this wag not correct, because
as the law now stands only Americas
vessels may - engage la " the coastwise
trade, and there would be no dlsecimina
Uon against other nations to placing all
coastwise trade under one rule, and all
foreign trade under .another. - !
Prior to the defeat of the Hadley
amendment repealing all tolls upon
ships In the coastwtde trade. This was
ruled out on a point of order. "The final
vote upon the measure was 24 to 14.
The Panama canal act authorized the
president to prescribe the rules for
measurement of vessels passing through
the canal and to fix tolls. In due time
this was done. : Under the law the net
registered tonnage was used as the unit
of measurement, and it soon develop!
that under this rule the $120 a ton toll
which had been fixed would exceed the
maximum limit 'of 11.26 a ton fixed In
the same, act when applied to lumber
carriers.
P. fcV RULES OOYBRX
The attorney general was appealed to
and ruled that to the' measurement of
vessels at the -canal the United States
rules must govern, and under these rulee
the deck space cargo la not Included.
The purpose of the bill passed by the
house is to measure tonnage on the basis
of all space where cargo may be carried.
It was alleged by Each that "freak'
vessels are built to carry deckload and
thus escape payment of toll. Foreigners
are the worst oirenders. he said, ana
since the canal 'was built the treasury
has lost 12.797,000 from non-payment of
toll on deck ; space. : Only 9145,000 of
this, it was asserted, was saved to the
lumber vessels of the Pacific coast, the
rest inuring to the benefit of other in-
terests.
Johnson asserted that the bill present
ed by the committee has been kept alive
for three years by war department in
fluenee and now, he said, "they are try
ing to sneak this thing through." Miller
of Washington declared that it will cost
1000 more under this bill to send a shipH
of a certain type through the canal
loaded with lumber than If loaded with
brick, because a ship eannot be loaded
to, capacity with lumbar by using the
hold alone. :

There has been very little actual
suppression of news during military
control at Gary, The newspapers
were ordered at first to publish no
news of raids on radicals, but later
the military decided that military
control, rather than martial law.
waa in effect, and the order was
changed to a request. With one or
two exceptions, the request bag been
complied with. .
The desire for secrecy In the army's
dealings with radicals is baaed on the
fact that new leads to further raids
were being unearthed. If the-feeta of
the raids were made 'public, thesmilltary
fear that seme ot their quarry would
seek other fields.
And the army Is not Interested In
chasing rede out ef Gary. It wants to
Ldeport them. General Leonard Wood,
situation, has very strong feelings re
garding the treatment that should be
meted out to -radicals who are trying to
undermine the government.
CURB FOREIGN AGITATORS
There can be no question that the situ
ation demanded attention. This is
free country, but we shall have to get
over the impression that it is free for
every agitated foreigner to tear down.
I do not see how we can do without
the army in crises such as this. There
Is no other agency to step In and bring
order out of a threatened chaos. Spe
cial police will pot do; neither will the
militia. Both were tried out in Gary and
labor was very antagonistic to both.
When the regulars rolled in by .motor
truck they were received with cheers by
the striken.
Many ef the strikers had been In the
army and they felt they would get a
square deal. Whether this feeling will
continue, only the course of the strike
will tell. Even now some of the more
radical labor leaders are charging Gen
eral Wood with playing politics.
MAXY MEETING PLACES B AIDED
But this charge on the part ef the
radicals is easily understood. The army
has followed every radical lead and has
raided dozens of houses, and meeting
