CANAL TOLLS ARE FID
MERCHANT VESSELS ARE TO PAY
$1.20 PER TON NET OF ACTU
AL CARRYING CAPACITY.
Rates Practically the Same as Those
to Be in Force at the
Suez Canal.
Washington. President Taft has
issued a proclamation fixing the rates
that the foreign shipping of the
world shall pay for passage through
the Panama canal. The proclamation
made under the authority of the canal
act, passed by congress in August, es
tablishes a merchant vessel, rate ol
$1.20 per net ton of actual carrying
capacity, with a reduction of 40 per
cent, on ships in ballast,
The provisions of the proclamation
are as follows:
1. On merchant vessels carrying
passengers or cargo, $1.20 per net
vessel ton each 100 cubic feet ol
actual earning capacity.
"2. On . vessels in ballast without
passengers or cargo, 40 per cent. lesE
than the rate of tolls for vessels with
passengers or cargo.
"3. Upon naval vessels, other than
transports, colliers, hospital ships and
supply Bhips, fifty cents per displace
ment ton.
"4. Upon army and navy transports,
colliers, hospital ships and supply
ships, $1.20 per net ton, the vessels
to be measured by the same rules
as are employed in determining the
net tonnage of merchant vessels.
"The secretary of war will prepare
and prescribe such rules for the meas
urement of vessels and such regula
tions as may be necessary and proper
to carry this proclamation into full
force and effect.''
American coastwise shipping was
exempted from toll payment by con
gress. It was to this provision of the
act that Great Britain diplomatically
protested. No reference to the Inci
dent was made in the president's proc
lamation.
American naval vessels are exempt
ed without specific mention, either In
the act of congress or the proclama
tion, because the authorities believed
It unnecessary to explain the useless
ness of payment from its navy depart
ment pocket to the one belonging to
the treasury department, ine rates
named are practically the same as
will be in force at the Suez canal
next year.

TO SURRENDER.
TURKEY IS AGAIN ntrrriMp'

Powers Once More Asked to 8top th !
War Cholera Is Raging in
Turkish Army. I
Belgrade, Servia.-The Turkish
fortress of Monastir has surrendered
to the Servian troops.
Fifty thousand Turkish soldiers and
three generals laid down their arms.
Monastir virtually had been sur
rounded by Servian troops for some
ime, while Greek troops, coming from
the south, had cut off the Turkish line
of retreat to Ochrida.
Monastir is the headquarters of the
Sixth Turkish army corps, command
ed by Fethi Pasha, but many other
Turkish troops, fleeing from surround
ing towns which had been captured
by the Servians, concentrated theje.
Wavid Pasha, the commander of tlie
Seventh Turkish army corps, went
there with many of his soldiers after
the fall of Uskup to the Servians.
Possession of the heights command
ing Monastir by the Servian army
rendered the fortress untenable.
Fethi Pasha, former Turkish minis
ter to Belgrade, was one of the first
to hand over his sword. At the be
ginning of the war he made the re
mark: "We will soon invite our
friends to dinner in Helgrade."
London, Knglund. Any idea that
the Turkish government may have
had of benefiting by continued re
sistance must be shattered by the
news of the fall of Monastir. In the
capture of that important town the
Servians took three pashas, including
the commander-in-chief, Zekki Pasha,
50,000 men and forty-seven guns, thus
achieving the greatest individual sue
cess of the war.
Monastir was the second city
importance in European Turkey.
was Turkeys stronghold in Macedo
nia, and by Its downfall Macedonia
passes completely out of Turkish
hands.
With cholera and typhus ragint
within her demoralized army, and
powerful enemy hammering at her
gates, Turkey again appeals to th
allies for terms.
PUBLICITY LAW ATTACKED
Brief in Behalf of Newspapers Filed
Before Supreme Court.
Washington. The opening attack
upon the constitutionality of the sec
tions of the recent postal appropria
tion act requiring newspapers to give
postal authorities access to their cir
culation record and to publish the
names of their stockholders and bond
holders, as well as to label political
articles as advertisements, was made
before the United States Supreme
court in a printed brief filed by Rob
ert C. Morris and G. H. i'lante on
behalf of the Journal of Commerce
and Commercial Bulletin of New
York. The case Is set for argument
orally on December 2.
The attorneys for the newspapers
contended principally that the sec
tions violate the constitutional liberty
of the 25,000 newspapers, magazines
ind periodicals published throughout
the United States.
Unlike public service corporations
the newspapers, the attorneys claim,
posssess no elements which give the
government a right to regulate their
business, except in so far as the- pub
ic morals or public welfare is con
cerned.

auu nopes soon to be out again.
A wave of genuine sorrow swept over
the entire community Sunday evening,
when Ihe news was received that Elsie
Wylie bad been claimed by the angel of
death, and passed from earth into
eternity; not sorrow for Elsie, for she
dearly loved her Savior and her tender
young life has been taken from the
cares and trials of earth and transplanted
into the life of peace and joy eternal,
there to await the coming of her loved
ones. But it is lo the bereaved father
and mother, and Ihe young sisters,
whose family circle has been broken,
where there must be a vacant chair, that
the hearts of all go out in lenderest sym
pathy and sorrow.
Elsie had been ill for several weeks,
but was improving daily, and Salurday
evening for the first lime since her ill
ness, came lo the family sunncr table.
amid great rejoicing that she could be
with (hem all once again. Sunday
although not quite so well, no appre
hension was full, and when, early in the
evening the summons came for her to
enter into rest, so swiftly and silently it
came lhat her passing away was a shock.
Monday afternoon friends from far
and near gathered at the Wylie home,
to pay their linal tribute of love, and
shower the casket where rested Ihe
form of their little friend, with beautiful
flowers. Softly her favorite hymns
were sung, her pastor, Rev. A. P. Johntry
conducting the tenderly solemn service.
Eight young girls, her friends and
schoolmates, carried Ihe wealth ol
floral offerings, her boy friends acting
as pall bearers, and just as the setting
sun flamed into golden glow, the small
casket was lowered to its final resting
place in the beautiful home cemetery on
the Berkelmann homestead. In the
home, in the school, and in the Sunday
School where she was one of the most
faithful, Elsie, with her bright, sunny
ways, her lovable personality, will be
sadly missed. Born here, in January,
l')00, her short, sweet life has all been
spent in this community, where she
will be long and lovingly remembered.
Mr. Wylie and his family desire to ex
press their grateful appreciation of the
universal sympathy and kindness shown
them in their hours of affliction, by
their friends and neighbors; to the
teachers and pupils of the school, which
was dismissed on Monday afternoon,
and lo all who gave so lavishly of their
i lowers, they extend Iheir thanks.
