I QUESTION OF
I CANAL TOLL
President Advises
B r i t ish Ambassador
That He Thinks It Im
proper to Exempt U. S.
Ships From Paving
Tolls
London. April 15. The report sent
by James Bryce. British ambassador
to the United States, on the results
of a recent conversation with Presi
dent Wilson foreshadows, It Is under
stood, a favorable termination of ihe.
I controversy between the two coun
I tries over the question of Panama ea-
H nal tolls
The Manchester Guardian nnder
r stands that President Vllson will
H shortly make nn Important statement
on the Question.
Favorable to England.
Washington, April 15 While Pres
ident Wilson has never expressed
himself publicly on the question of
js.: Panama canal tolls, he has informal
ly :: ly Indicated to his friends that he be-
I lleveB in an interpretation of the trea
ty which would make it Improper for
the United States to exempt Its ves
sels In the coastwise traffic from pav
ing tolls. He Is al60 understood to
take the position that the exemption
se now proposed Is in effect a subsidy
and he has always been opposed to
subsidies.
The report that the president had
intimnico to Ambassador Bryce that
.. the settlement of the question would
bo favornble to Great Britain is cred
ited generally In official circles be
cause it 1b thought that Mr Wilson's
personnl friendship for 'lie retiring
ambassador would account for their
1 intimate conversation on this point
Just befor.? Mr Brace's departure, al I
though Mr. Wilson has been urced
not to give formal expression to his
: Views until the tariff Is disposed of
In the present session of congress
I Mr. Wilson Is said to realize that
the tolls question might, if brought
up ot present, divide the Democrat
if majority and cause embarrassment to ,
' the tariff question, which he regards
1 a3 paramount.
The; Inference drawn from the I,on- I
don report is that the president has j
Been fit informally to indicate to Eng
land that a favorable adjustment will
be fcn.hcomlng. so as to forestall i ..
!ly rcy.rejonttllons from Great Britain,
and f.o that the British government
might understand fully the strategic
rep son for temporary delav
The scope of any understanding
President Wilson may have reached
with the British ambassador concern
ing the Panama canal controvert ij
not known today by members of the!
senate who are chiefly interested In j
the fight over free tolis.
Scnatoi '"-'Gorman, chairman of the
Interoceai canals comm;ttee. said
he bad no informatior as to any j
prospective announcement by Pres-
Idcn" Wileon.

Jokes With Physician
"If It Is possible to Induce Pope
Pius to follow the orders of his med

slightly better he insists on haying

The clearing up of the weather to

the recovery of the pope. Father Par
ollu the pope's nephew, helped ln
uncle through his morning toilet to

MICE FOUND IN

FIELDS
Some of the farmers of the county
are speculating as to whether they
are to be visiter! by a plague of go
phers and mice, evidence of the pres
ence of the rodents having been dis
covered In places where the roots of
alfalfa have been cut.
William Dowers states that he has
discovered on his farm at Wilson ami
also at Rlverdale that burrowing ani
mal! have dug in the alfalfa fields,
and that In some instances great dam
age has been done Where the ani
mals have operatod most it is found
that Ihe roots of the alfalfa have beun
cut off and the plants are dying.
Reports from other sections of the
county have not been received but
si i Bow ers is of the opinion that if
the farmers will investigate a little
they will find that other alfalfa fields
are in about the same condition.
