ROOT TAKES SIDE
OF (MI BRITAIN
Delivers Most Vigorous Attack
on Attitude of U. S. in Pan
ama Controversy.
APPEALS FOR ARBITRATION
'We Long- Asserted Central
America Had No Right to
Debar World from Pass
age across Isthmus."
Washington, Jan. 21 "Shall wc in
form the world that the Unltod States
Is fain- to its agreements, false, to Its
pledged wot- IV .Shall wo have It matin
known the world over that you must
look out for the Piilted States or It
will get tlie advantage of you? T'tat
It Is astute, cunning, slippery?"
With this vigorous denunciation of
the attitude of thl country In tho
I'anama cnnal controversy with Great
lirltaln, Senator Mllhit Hoot closed a
two-hour speech In thn Senate to-day
with an ajipeal for tho submission of
t ie Panama ciuestlon to arbitration
or the reju-al of that soctlon of tho
cnnal law that would give, free pass
age to American coastwise ships.
Sjieaklng from the experience of a
member of President Ttootevelt's cab
inet wii-m the Panama canal zone was
purchased and when over 2n arbitra
tion treaties were made with foreign
nations. Senator Knot delivered fie
most vigorous attack on the present
attitude of the I'nlti-d States that has
been heard since tlie Panama contro
versy with r.rcat lirltaln arose.
It h-ranie known following the senator's
address that Senator lirandegee. chair
man of tlie Intcrocoanle canals committee,
will cull a meeting within a few days to
tnl'.e up Senator Tlont's amendment for
the rejienl of the fiee toll provision. Led
by fen. ltois Hoot and lirandegee, both of
whom opiiosci the original passage of
tills provision, a determined effort will be
made at this session of Congress to
clinngi- the law before It goes into effect
at tin- canal so thai the cause of dispute
with ejieat Hiitalu will be removed.
vvori.n vim. ATI-: ai.i. Pi,i:Dni:s.
Senator Hoot declared tlie fnlted States
would violate all of Its pledges and
liroiiilses to the wot id; would be guilty
of "false prvteiifciv." In Its advocacy ot
general ai Miration and would proclaim
iiM'll indifferent to iiatinn.il honor and
Iniigiity. If It refused to submit to
ai liltr.itlon, or to retreut from the unjust
lio.-liloii It had taken.
lie declared free coastwise tolls to
Auiiileuu ships wen- illecral unless the
same concessions were- made to foreign
shioii. TI.e claim that tile I'nlted States
l ad ilotneMlrr lights over the canal, he
cause it owned the canal zone, constituted
a violation of tlie express guarantee of
tin- Pulled States to (Jriat, In- said.
"It Is not our territory except In trust,"
he declared, "treaty or no treaty, we have
long asserted thut the nations of Central
Amerlian had 110 right to dbar the world
f 1 0111 Its right of jiansnge across tlie lsth

our entire lo tion, which resulted In our

He Term Invention "Cold Light.'-
i'aris, Jon. 20. M. Dussaud, a French
fx-ientlst. who has discovered a moans
for the production of what ho terms
"cold light," gave to-day some details
of his discovery, which It Is thought
may revolutionize electric lighting.
Stnrting on the principle thnt reat Is as
essential to matter as to animal organ
Imu, he has constructed nn ele-ctric lamp.
In which the light Is concentrate-el on a
single point by filaments working suc
cessively, thence the light Is projected
through a lens magnifying a thousand,
fold. Thus lie has succeeded In concen
trating a 2.W0 candle power light on
one point and In passing its volts Into
nn eight-volt lamp, which with the ordin
ary light would burst.
nxjierlments with this lamp have
established that the new light Is ab
solutely without clangor, ns no heat Is
given off and It requires a hundred
times less current than the ordinary
lamp. It can he worked by a tiny
battory or sufficient motive power
can bo obtnlned from a jot of wator
from nn ordinary faucet, or oven a
squirrel turning a rage,
Thn light, It Is said, offers a great
uilvantage In photography, as Its pho
togenic jiower Is four times that of
the magnesium llashllght,

SENATE FEARS
HAND O&CZAR
Hejects Immigration Bill Provi
sion Requiring Certificates of
Character from Emigrants.
U Washington. Jan. 20. Control that
itusBla and other euiintrlejs might oxerclso
over emigration to the United States led
the Senate to-day to refuse to accept the
conference report on the Uurnett-Dllllng-ham
Immigration bill. The. bill was sen'
hack to conference with the Senate's dis
approval of the provision requiring
certificates of character from emigrant
coming from countries where such certi
ficates are Issued.
This feature of the bill was attacked by
Senators La Folletto, O'ftorman, Root,
Stone and others as dangerous tu the
future of Amorlcan Immigration The
provision had been recommended by the
federal Immigration otllclals. Senator
Lodge-, In charge of the conference re
port, asked thut the bill be sent back o
v conference where the "certificate of
character" provision probably will be
eliminated.
"I believe the Introduction of this clause
was at the sincere desire of the Immlgr -gratlon
ofllcluls, to aid them In lo pirn,
out members of the- Illack Hand .m l
the Camorra." raid Senator Root Hut
It would open the door to foreign conn
tiles to limit or prevent the right of citi
zens to emlsrato to tlie United States.
Hundreds of telegrams and protests
were received hy the Senate from Jewish
societies and Immigration organizations
It was claimed that Russia by refu.Mng to
Issue certlllcatfH of character could
practically stop Immigration to the Uni
ted States.
When someone Is forced to sell prop,
erty quickly, even nt a sacrifice, It Is cer
tain that such property will be adver
tised. That's why many of the. real e-s.
tute ads are actual opportunities to In
