WASHINGTON, D C„ Dec. 2.—The !
i fortfliration "f the Panama canal will!
| hnv* tin' uqnullbed support 'if St na
tor Muni', of Visod-sippi, the mlnoritj
leader ■! the upp-r house of Congress.
"Those who talk about neutralizing the
canal by treaty don't know what they
| are talking about," raid Senator Money
j to the United Press to-day. "When
i the question of a canal tlrat arose, in
| 1RS7, 1 stood for an American canal
and for fortifying It. I have not chanpr
: eti my mind."
Senator Money regards the attempt
to neutralize the canal hy treaty as u
mistaken i<Iea of economy. He be
t lieves th&l the waterway, costing a half ;
hillion dollars, should he defended, and
, doubts the efficacy of an international i
agreement to guarantee Its neutrality.
“If Japan or any other country do- j
dared war," he snId. "they would not j
serve notice in the newspapers. They j
would gelzc the canul first Moreover,!
In the elash of war, treaties are silent.
Uespito the neutralization of the Suez;
canal hy treaty, the Kngtish closed it
fofeight days while they bombarded ,
Alexandria. If we are going to leave
the Panama canal unfortified wc might
as well ask the Kngllsh to tear down
their fortifications at Gibraltar rind also
along the Mediterranean."
j Many Democrats are expected to
adopt Senator Money’s attitude.

the city." he added.
“Rut I would ijk, to say that 1
am the only mayor of Richmond who
has ever prevented three indecent
shows from giving performances here
and I think that's oomethinff to my
credit. These shows were "The i!ir.
from Rectors," "Charlotte Temple"
| und "The Blue Mouse."
Chief among those who rapped
; the mayor was Mrs. W. M. Dicker*.
! president of the Ri hmond union. She
: expressed regret that h, was not in
sympathy with the women In their
move for purer moral*, as forint I'
Mayor McCarthy was. The women

ing out that even Unde Sam him
i self in some instances was plctureo
! as Haunting forth bottles of the "finest
brands."
! One of the features of the after

Howard M. Hog,., husband of Mrs.
Hnge, president of the State organi
sation, conducted the Interesting cere
