2 FREE CANAL FOR AMERICAN SHIPS NOW ASSURED Senate Passes Panama Bill. House and Taft Expected to Approve It. WASHINGTON. Auk 10.- The Pan- I ama <anal administration bill, which passed In the senate late yesterday by a non-partisan vote of 47 to 15. is ex pected to pass the house without dan gerous opposition, despite the fact that the original bill b id one of its most drastic features modified. As the origt j inal bill came from the house it eon- I tained a tlat prohibition against the ownership or control by any railroad line of a steamship line. This was i toned down to prohibit the passage of ; railroad owned ships through the ca nal. Sponsors of the bill declare they expect President Taft to sign the docu ment. ' As the bill stands now it provides free passage to American ships, prohib its the passage of ships owned by rail road systems through the waterway and authorizes the establishment of a one-man government for the zone, it is expected that railroad systems own- i Ing steamship lines may assault the I constltutlongllt) of the bill in the courts If it becomes a law However, if the attack Is not tpade a.nd the bill stands in Its present form, It will prove a powerful instrument In the hands of the government in anti-trust warfare. To Aid Commerce Commission. The interstate commerce commission, under the senate amendments to the bill, will become a powerful force. The amendments endow the commis sion to a large extent with the enforce meht of the anti-trust law. It had been expected that the pas sage of the bill in face of opposition from the British government to the clause granting free trills to American ships might be used for campaign ma terial. However, the senate vote was so divided that party lines were split up. A similar condition is expected when the bill comes to a vote in the house.

SEARCHING SIDELIGHTS ON GEORGIA POLITICS By JAMES B, NEVIN. In making prohibition frankly the paramount issue of the present cam paign, Hooper Alexander is taking a long chance, so far as the cause of pro hibition is concerned. , This may be a sign of great political courage or a sign of great political foolhardiness, as one cares to view it. It will be argued by some that Mr. Alexander can not lose any more by making prohibition the primary cause of war, no matter how the battle goes; that he would lose If he sought to be little it. Therefore, some people hold that it Is good politics on the part of Mr. Alexander to view with alarm and "holler" prohibition with as much dis tress in his voice as he can muster. There are prohibitionists, however, who think that the gentleman from DeKalb Is about to play the deuce and Tom Walker with the cause of prohibi tion. and they argue this way. Mr. Alexander will raise the issues of lawlessness, anarchy, debauchery, corruption and blind tigerfsm through out Georgia, with such vociferous as sistance as he can obtain—he will em phasize the crying necessity for more statutory prohibition and better prohi bition as it never has been emphasized before the people directly before—and when the vote counting time comes, he will receive a handful of votes only, comparatively speaking. Many ardent prohibitionists hold that this will leave their cause In worse shape than It ever has been in Geor gia—and they are saying that they are being called upon to sacrifice much on the altar of Mr. Alexander's doubtful ambition. % If a scattering vote throughout Geor gia is to be the answer to Mr. Alex ander’s vehement appeal for more pro hibition. where does the cause of pro hibition get off? It may be that Mr. Alexander can beat Mr. Slaton —but not one man in ten believes it. Colonel Roosevelt is coming to Georgia to "bull moose” around a bit! A lot of people in Georgia are afraid they will wake up some morning and find themselves for the colonel, as it is. Nash R. Broyles, recorder of the po lice court of Atlanta and candidate for a seat on the court of Appeals, talks interestingly of the suggestion recent ly advanced that he Is "a candidate of the prohibitionists,” and that there is objection to him In south Georgia be cause "he hails from Atlanta, where one of the present judges of the court of appeals lives.” Mr. Broyles says: ”1 am ‘toting my own skillet.’ I am not running on a prohibition platform, tor there are other questions In Geor gia as important as the prohibition question. "I stand in my race Yor the enforce ment-of all of our laws, which, of course. Includes the prohibition law, and for the abolishment of the old moss-grown technicalities which hin der, Impede and defeat justice In our courts.

Hooper, Nebraska. —"I am very glad to tell how Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound has helped me. For five years I suffered from female troubles so I was scarcely able to do my work. I took doc tors’ medicines and used local treatments but was not helped. I had such awful bearing down pains and my back was so weak I could hardly walk and could not ride. I often had to sit up nights to sleep and my friends thought I could not live long. At my request my husband got me a bottle of Lydta E. Pinkham’s Veg etable Compound and I commenced to take it. By the time I had taken the seventh bottle my health had returned and 1 began doing my washing and was a well woman. Atone time for three weeks I did all the work fer'eighteen boarders with no signs of my old trouble return ing. Many have taken your medicine after seeing what it did for me. I would not take SIOOO and be where I was. Yov have my permission to use my name if it will aid anyone. ’’ Mrs. Susie Tem pleton, Hooper, Nebraska. ThePinkham record is a proud and peer less one.

Why don’t you try it if you needsuch a medicine? is on the court. I submit to the peo ple of Georgia that this reason is not a sound one. If I am elected, I shall represent on the court of appeals, not Atlanta, but Georgia. "I submit that she only fair, sound question in this contest is, not whether an Atlanta man or a Blakely man should be elected, but. of the two can didates, w’hich one is the better qual ified to serve the people of Georgia on the court of appeals?” John M. Slaton apks unanimous consent of the legislature yearly to do one thing only—give a bar becue. And never yet has the leg islature denied him his request. To Mr. Gower, of Crisp, will be given credit for putting through successfully perhaps the very flnest and most com mendable piece of legislation that will be set down eventually to the credit of the present legislature. The general insurance act recently passed is statesmanlike work. It brings order out of chaos where order »most urgently was needed. It puts on the statute books of Georgia laws under which the business ••{ life Insurance- may he conducted, and must be conducted, along absolutely clear, safe and specific lines. It imposes upon insurance men good, had and indiffer ent—and Georgia has had her share of all three kinds of late years—the ob ligation of common honesty and de cency In conducting their business. Under its operation the sharks and irooks in business can n»t live in Georgia—that's all. Mr. Gower, one of the younger mem bers of the present house, was chair man of the special committee of the legislature under the direction of which this law was drawn. As such chair man. the work of getting the bill through the house fell almost entirely on him. He acquitted himself with great credit. No better work has been done In Georgia in many years—and no better work will be done soon. Joe Hill ptall speaks all of the time. Hooper Alexander speaks some of the time, and Jack SlatOjh speaks none of the time. Voters can not complain that there is no choice between the candidates, anyway. "Old Man” Callaw-ay, ofe.Tattnall, en joys the unique distinction of being the one man in the legislature to hold a corner on that affectionate appella tion. There are a number of “Uncles” in the house, but there is but one “Old Man,” and he is Callaway. Mr. Callaway Is an experienced leg islator, and is sent to the house from Tattnall whenever he wants to come, w ithout protest. He is a quiet and un demonstrative fn.e(Tiber, rag»i»'*/naking a speech—and if he does, it is so short that one has to hurry in order to. get there before it is all over. Like many modest men, Callaway is invariably on the job when wanted. He never misses a vote and never ex plains one. He is rated safe and sane on all questions and is one of the house’s most dependable men. SIOO Reward.

I IN WEEK f Seven of Them Will Be Exe- cuted at Sing Sing Prison on Same Day. r NEW YORK, Aug. 10. —A record for wholesale official electrocution in New York state will have been established next week when E. F. Davis, of Corn ing, N. Y., the official executioner, snuffs out the lives of eight murderers con demned to die by the New York courts. Besides these men, there are eighteen additional murderers now In the death cells of Sing Sing, Auburn and Clinton prisons who must shortly pay the death penalty unless now trials are ordered by' the highest court of the state. The eight doomed men all are guilty Os crimes which at the time of their perpetration excited wide interest. Five were implicated in the murder of Mrs. Henry Hall at Yorktown, Westchester county, on November 6, 1911. They are Italians, who, with robbery in view, entered her home in the absence of her husband. One stabbed her to death as she was being held by the others. The sixth member of the gang. Santo Zanzo, already has paid the death penalty, it having been established that he ac tually did the stabbing. He was ex ecuted on July 8 last. The three men who complete the list of doomed are: Joseph Ferrone, also an Italian, who murdered his wife in New York city.on October 24 last by cutting f her throat; John W. Collins, a negro, who on July 1, 1911, shot and killed Po liceman Thomas Lynch in New York, and Jphn Matuszewski, who shot Po liceman Charles Schaeffer, of Buffalo, on September 11 last. Seven of these men afre in Sing Sing, and, according to officials of the state prison department, little more than an hour will be necessary to execute them. They probably will be killed on Mon day. Karuszewski, who is awaiting his end at Auburn prison, will be executed on another day. Coal Jumps Up in value when the thermometer falls down.
