jfiQS i yASIIIN'GTON. Dec. 11 Fore-
nffiS A cast,n ll'c reply of Secretary
HUB VV of stntc Knox 10 s,r Edwnni
HnS Grey's note suggesting arbltra-
EHm l'on of tho Panama eantil tolls
BBS! question, It In authoritatively stated that
(Ifllf the response will differ from the original
HNS8 position of Secretary Knox In only a
iHn negligible degree.
jHH Secretary Knox Is expected to make
'i Plain to tho British government thai
Nl the paramount consideration for the
BB United States lies In tho fact that tho
HH Panama canal act Is already a verity
H that cannot be overlooked and that the
9Bfl net has settled in advance the very
HB questions which have been raised by the
Hh British foreign office.
gflQK Further, the reply will intimate that
had congress not already acted, the
HH9 United States government might have
BD considered a form of arbitration that
ES could not, however, necessarily mean u
8 reference to Tho Hague. The stato de-
BHB partment, so far as Its view can bo
R learned on this dolicato point, feels that
B even hud arbitration been conceivable
B before tho passage of tho canal act, such
nH arbitration ought to be by and through
HO American sources and not through a
HHB tribunal which in tho nature of things
BM would sit in a prejudiced case.
Taft's Message.
HHfc This position of the state department
WKBu differs largely from the view of Prcsl-
B dent Taft, who shortly before the end
MB of tho last session of congress sent a
IB message suggesting: that legislation pro-
HHB vldlng machinery for testing the tolls
HH question by foreign powers In the United
H9 States should be enacted. It Js pointed
HB out that the main point of 'this question
H Is In its practical admission that Great
fJrltain, even after tho passage of the
Hn canal act, has some rights in tho toll
BH question requiring adjudication. The
HH president, however, in his message nc-
ffll companylng the signature of the canal
HMB bill, receded from his former message
Kflfl by characterizing tho British contention
HBH as leading to an absurd conclusion. All
HIX through the controversy Secretary Knox
I has held tho unequivocal position that
tho canal is American property on Amer
ican territory and that It Is for tho
United Slates to manage and control the
waterway without dictation. He has
not receded from tho position ho held
oven before the policy of tho United
States became fixed by tho passage of
the act.
Secretary of War Sllmson, while fa
voring the taxing of American coastwise
ships for' tho use of tho canal, will cut
but llttlo figure In the controversy. After
tho tentative discussion of tho British
note is completed bv the cabinet the case
I will rest with tho president and Secre
tary Knox as tho chief diplomatic offi
cials of the United States.
No Hasty Action.
The state department docs not Intend
Jo rush a reply to Great Britain. After the
formal answer from this country Is filed
there will be a counter statement from
tho British foreign office and tho com
pletion of the exchanges may carry the
discussion over to tho Wilson administra
tion. Jf Great Britain insists on an early
reply, tho indications ure that President
Taft will insist on the preparation of a
special protocol by Secretary Knox In
sisting that grave questions are Involved
and casting the final settlement of the
controversy Into tho senate.
The fa to of this maneuver will be swift
and. certain. Tho overwhelming sentiment
nf the tenato is against arbitration withr
out regard to party lines. From a. care
ful review mado by tho International
Newa Service, following Is a forecast of
tho scnato on tho result:

As a two-thinks affirmative vole Is re

nothing short of a political catuclysm
will change the present attitude of the,
senate.
.Much Interest Is being evlnred In the
probable stand of President WIIfoii and
his secretary of state if the British con
troversy becomes n legacy to his admin
istration. 'While the Baltimore platform
declared for free canal passage for Amer
ican coastwise ships, this was one of the
topics avoided, by the president-elect in
Ida speech of acceptance,

clubs undor the name of Roosevelt-Pro
gresslve clubs. I ask you not to do it.
This Is not a one-man movement, but
a movement for a principle. Don't ever
name- any Progressive club after a. man
who is not dead. As soon as he Is ucad
ho ceases to excite antagonism. "We arc
not m this fight to further the fortunes
of any one man."
The day was a comparatively quiet one
for the former president. Besides attond
ng Uxe luncheon he received callers at
his apartment, ho passing on whom
should bo admitted. Throughout the
morning there was a. crowd outside his
rooms and many persons did not obtain
an audience.
Night Schools Advocated.
Butter Vance of Louisville came for
ward today with a proposition to estab
lish night schools for Progressive work
ers. This plan, he said, had been adopt
ed in Louisville. There Jt Is the Intention
to teach political workers how to work
at and In the polls, laying special stress
on the duties of election officials.
Throughout the day one- of tho assem
bly rooms on tho lower floor of tho Hotel
La Salle, where the meeting Is behjg
held, was crowded with Progressives who
held no official position but came to ex
change views. About half a hundred
speeches were delivered and many of
them were heated.
Several speakers voiced their criticism
of the manner In which tho gathering
was belntr conducted, maintaining that
not onough was being done and that too
many speeches were being heard. How
ever, this did not seem to be tho general
opinion, and when A. L. Garford of
Elyrla, O., made an attempt to adjourn
the meeting at 0:30 o'clock there wore
many objections. It finally was agreed
to adjourn until 8 o'clock tonight. At.
that time O. K. Davis appeared and read
the report of tho national committee.
Criticisms of the members of the Re
publican party did not appeal to Lester
A. Pease of New York, and when he
obtained the floor during- the day sosslon
ho trained his guns on some of the
speakers who had preceded him.
"We are indulging in too much tauc
here and not doing enough work," he de
clared. "I heard ono speaker here say there
wasn't a good man In the Republican
party. That Is not true. Some of us like
William Barnes, although wc don't stand
for his principles,
"If wo Progressives expect to win we
must do so by hard, oarnest work and
teaching. "We never can, win by abuse."

Special to The Tribune.
3niWATJK12E. Wis.. Dec. 11, Frank
J. Cannon, former United States senator
from Utah and a former member of the
Mormon church, arraigned the Mormon
control in an address on the menace of
tho "Mormon Kingdom" at the Grand
Avenue Methodist Episcopal church.
Mormon elders In Milwaukee were
highly Indignant at tho former member's
attack upon the church and after his
address distributed circulars to the au
dience, quoting statements made before
his excommunication in which he rep
resented the Mormons in a highly fa
vorable light.
A number of Mormons heard Cannon's
disparaging address and asked him aues-

church and creed was on the attitude
taken by believers In their pledge to

members of tho church had rcpcatcdlv
broken their pledges concerning polyg"
amy and that the testimony of one -of
tne Mormon leaders before the senate

Indicated the attitude of the Mormons

Cannon alleged that the Mormons con

Servia Insists Upon Adriatic
Port in Spite of Menaces
of Austria.
LONDON, Doc. Jl. A not over
optimistic view of the international sit
uatiou was expressed by Sir Jidwurd
Grey, tho British foreign secretary,
whou ho formally announced in tho
House of Commons this afternoon that
embassadors of the great powers would
meet in Loudon simultaneously with
tbo plenipotentiaries of Turkey and of
tho Balkans, who nro to discuss peace
here.
, Sir Edward defined the object of tho
embassadors' gathering as an "infor
mal and noncommittal consultation
which is, of courso, an indication that
tho European powers are not sure that
a solution of all tho dillioulliea is in
sight."
Hopes Varied.
Commenting upon tho European sit
uation, tho secretary of foreign affairs
said:
"Hopes and anxieties have varied
from day to day and may contiuno for
fiomo time to vary. It io diflicult to
say anything -without causing undue
pessiminm or mising hopes which might
subsequently bo disaDDointed. Tho re
lations with tha governments- of the
powers aro amicable, the diplomatic
situation is favorable and the anxiety
is lest some untoward or unforeseen
incident occur.
"Tho consultations of, the embassa
dors are to be informal aud nonconimit
tal. This is, of course, an indication
that tho European powors aro not yet
euro that a solution of all the difficulties
is in sight."

made this declaration in an interview
with a correspondent of the Temps and
added that Sorvia was surprised fey the
enigmatic and disquieting attitudo of
Austria.
In spite of tho mennccs of Austria, he
continued, Servia was leaving her
troops in tho territory they had al
ready conquered.
Referring to the intorviow ho had
just had with Raymond Poincaro, tho
French premier, M". Novakovitch said:
"I have the conviction that tho just

JSKS PROTECTION
JOIST POLICE
NEW YORIv. Dec. 11. Mary Goodo. a
confessed keeper of a resort in tho tcn
dorloln district, as a witness before tho
aldcrmanlc. committee, which Is Investi
gating police conditions, testified today
that many women of that section had
banded together In an association and had
appealed to Mrs. O. II. P. Belmont to aid
them in 'protection against police graft.
She declared that the "Becker pocket
hook" had set an example of graft to
policemen and that since the Becker ex
posure officers were "wild In their de
mauds of money."
From her own experience, she told of
having paid $60 a month for pollco pro
tection. Somo larger places, she said,
were forced to pay from ?100 to $220 a
month.
"The polico want more money all tho
time," she said, "They keep raising their
demands. ThR" is all on account of the
Becker poclcetbook."
She said there wcro 35,000 women In
the city affected by the police methods.
we want to be put under a committee
or citizens." she said. "Wo want to be
protected from the nolico."
If this were done, sho added, tho women
w-ould help the commltteo In ridding tho
city of somo of its worst elements. Thc
woman said that "Gyp the Blood," one of
the Becker gunmen, and four other
armed men entered her premises one
night and robbed tho inmates.
