A i u I SENATE 15 FOB EXEMPT TOLLS O’Gorman Says American Coast wise Ships Will Go Through Canal Without Charge. iy JOHN TEMPLE GRAVES. WASHINGTON, April 18/—From the White House has come a sweep ing denial of the report that Presi dent Wilson was about to issue a proclamation declaring he favored Rngland’s contention in the matter of the Panama Canal tolls. The statement is simply that Presi dent Wilson is not "about to issue a proclamation on this matter and that he has not as yet taken up the prob lem and decided it." There is no denial that the Presi dent’s views are definitely understood and that they are as I have stated them. It is not likely that so wise and prudent a diplomat as James Bryce would have misrepresented to the English people the attitude of the American administration. Senate’s Firm Stand. The one matter of supreme impor tance to the American people is the continued attitude of the American Senate toward the Panama tolls with or without servile regard to the ex ecutive branch of the Government. Upon this question no man is per haps so well authorised to speak /is .lames O’Gorman. Senator from the State of New York, chairman of the. Committee on Interoceanic ' anals, and perhaps more potential than any other man in the Senate on the ulti mate decision of this question. Senator O’Gorman, I am authorized fully to say, stands firm in his posi tion for tolls free for American coast- wise ships operating through the Panama Canal. He says that he believes the Sen ate is with him on this question, no matter what the President or anybody else might say. The New York Senator holds un changeably that this is a question of vital importance to the nation that each Senator must determine for him self. , ., When the Root bill, which provides that American coasting ships shall not be exempt from paying tolls, was before the Interoceanic Canal Com mittee at the last session it was laid on the table by a vote of 10 to 3. sen ator O'Gorman is chairman of the new committee. He says that the new committee is as strongly in favor of the exemption of coasting ships as the old committee. He feels confluent that the Senate will, adhere to its original position, when the original canal act was patted by a vote of 44 to 11.* , , . . Senator O'Gorman and other friends of the canal hold resolutely that the administration of that waterway is a purely domestic question, in which no other nation is concerned so long as the Government of the United States treats all other nations equally. Senator O’Gorman and many other Democrats contend the question qf the administration of the canal is not h political question. They say it is a matter of domestic economy pure and simple President Wilson may have one view or he may have another; he has not yet definitely let it be known what his views are. But when he does, these views, these Senators say. will be given careful consideration, and Senators will then vote fearlessly and inde pendently for the policy their own judgment dictates os the best policy. it is not known that the President intends to seek to influence the Sen ate on this subject. Senators are as suming that he will not. Should the President attempt to control Senators on this subject, it is safe to predict even at this early day that he will ut terly fail to accomplish his purpose. Xo lime is to be lost bringing ^ .no subject to an issue. The bill of Sen ator Root is before the committee. Issue Up Tuesday. Senator O'Gorman issued a call for the first meeting of the committee to be held next Tuesday. The Root bill v ill receive the consideration so se rious a subject requires. Senator Root may ask for hearings. If he does reasonable hearings probably ■will be granted. The test in commit tee however, will come on a motion to lay the bill on the table. This motion will prevail by a two- thirds or perhaps by an even greater vote—the most emphatic of all votes. It will require a complete reversal of opinion in the committee to reopen the canal subject. Senator O'Gorman is convinced there will be no repeal of ihe toll ex emption for American ships.

"I have two pupils whose instincts are more commercial than artistic/’ said a music teacher who lives in In man Park. “They have caused me much amusement by a little trick with which each gets two lessons for the price of one. They are friends and started coining to me together. While I am giving a lesson to one the other listens, and then in turn the sec ond listens to my criticisms of her friend. I believe each is learning fas ter than she could if she had come alone.” Used His Tobacco To Balk the Moths. "Never lay in a supply of your fa vorite tobacco in the spring,” said a confirmed smoker, whose home is in East End. “Why not,” asked his friend, “doesn’t it keep well?” "Not that. You may do as you please if you’re not married. But last week I stocked up with my favorite brand—the one that's almost too costly, you know. Well, yesterday 1 went to fill my pouch, but never a bit of tobacco could I find. My wife heard me hunting and explained, it seems she had been putting away things for the summer and being out of moth balls had used my tobacco as a substitute. That’s why I have added a new one to my list of don’t*.” Bird in Window Attracted Crowd. A little flower store in, Whitehall Street hit on a plan the other day for a window display which drew a crowd that blocked the sidewalk. The plan's in the window were arranged to give the effect of a flowerstrewn bit of greensward. That wasvery pretty, but the thing that drew the crowd was a bird that hopped about picking up seeds arid hunting its dinner among the plants without the slightest trace of the self-consciousness of the “dem onstrator.” Didn’t Know Himself After Losing Beard. “I’ve heard of absent minded per sons,” said a barber, “but the strang est case I ever know of happened In this shop to-day. “A customer who has been wearing a beard for years, and has come in once or twice a month to have it trimmed, came in this morning and had*it taken off. After the operation 1 wouldn’t have known him if I'd met him in the street. “But a stranger ihing was that he didn’t know himself. When he got out of the chair and looked at his face in the mirror he turned around to see who the strange chap was whose face he saw in the glass.” Feed Their Appetites Through Their Eyes. "Did you ever watch the crowd that gathers in front of a window of a cafe or restaurant where tempting eatables are displayed?” asked a woman. “It certainly affords an opportunity for thought. The other day an old woman with a faded shawl stood and gazed longingly at the tempting delicacies. She moved away and her place was taken by a man whose ap pearance indicated that he spent much time on the benches in the park. As I watched these two walk away with unsatisfied appetites I wish I could have taken them inside and giv en them what they would like, but I didn’t have the price.” inxli dangerous lh ?f U vmi have catarrh, usually bv sniffling, stopped-up head. <;rei, Dings in throat, anil morning . ,,, ling there is an irritated state of ihe mucous membrane which affords an ideal lodgment and culture me dium for disease germs, especially .i,,,se of consumption. i.m not allow the dangerous germs which may he breathed into the throat and lungs to begin their work of de- struction. . , , . , The easiest, simplest, quickest, sur- , e st and cheapest wuj to check ca- tarrh is bv the direct method, breath- ing Hyomei.

CLEflN-UP HOSTS OVERRUN CITY Thousands of School Children Enlist Recruits for the Annual Beautifying Campaign. “Lei nol a house escape' was the order given to-day when an attack ing army of school children was turned loose upon the householders of the city. The forces were organized, equipped and instructed by the City Federation of Women’s Clubs and the ChaVnber of Commerce for the annual engage- ment against the winter's accumula tions of dirt and refuse. The foray into the enemy's country to-day is only a preliminary skirmish The real battle will come to-morrow when the householders, properly subdued, will^join with the children and give the city the most thorough cleaning- up it ever has received. Each of the youngsters was armed* with a card. On it was a blank for the householder's name. A signature indicated that the owner or occupant of the house pledged himself to assist in the big clean-up to-morrow; to clean the sidewalks, paint his build ings, plant flowers in the front yard, remove the refuse from the back yard or perform any other task that was greatly needed about his home. Children Asked to Insist. The children were instructed not to leave any home until they had the signature. Forty thousand of these cards were in the hands of the children when the campaign began to-day, more than enough to go into every home in the city. The young people will turn them back to their teachers Monday and the teachers will give them to representatives of the City Federa tion of Women's Clubs. The schools which produce the largest number of signed cards in proportion to the at tendance will be given prizes. When the suggestion was made that many of the persons who were persuaded to sign the cards might proceed to forget all about their promise. Mrs. Charles J. Haden, president of the federation, said: Pledges Nearly All Fulfilled. “It is a remarkable fact that last year practically all of the pledges were fulfilled. The people owning and occupying houses appeared to be as enthusiastic about “clean-up day” as the children themselves. They took a pride in having their own yards and buildings as spotless as tht»se of their neighbors. “But we are going to see how it works out this year. Those who fail to keep their pledges will be discov ered, for the women of the federa tion are going to make a trip about town in about a week to see just what has been accomplished. 'The last of the cards were distrib uted yesterday. More children are in terested in the ‘clean-up day’ than last year. All are more eager and enthusiastic. 1 think that it will be even a greater success than last year.” ‘FIRST KISS' NEW “Maiden's Blush” and “Hitchy Koo” Are Names Given to Other Late Styles. LONDON, April 18.—Half of fem inine London crowded the show-, rooms of a dressmaker, who by a ju dicious use of a title, combined with | artistic sense, has succeeded in mak- i ing for herself a special place among the costumers of the world. Dainty frocks for debutantes were distinguished by quaint titles. "My Best Girl” was a delicate blue tus sore calling dress; “Maiden’s Blush” was a dance dress in rose-petal satin; “Hitchy Koo" was a pale blue serge coat and skirt; “First Kiss" was a calling suit in pink charmeuse; while “Cutest Little Thing" was a del icate mauve pink crepe tussore dress, with ivory lace. Every evening corsage was slight and diaphanous. Most were of chif fon with embroidered edges and ki mono sleeves. A success was achieved by the “Eldorado,” a white satin din ner gown with a high black velvet belt, from which long wide streamers depended to form the train. An original ball dress named “L’Heuro Supreme" was made with folded draperies of hydrangea blue chiffon from the waist, with glimpses of blue and green satin. This gown eclipsed the delicate radiance of “Aphrodite,” a bright rose charmeuse da nek frock with a wide scarf to match. Altogether nearly 100 dresses for the 11*13 season were shown. They make it clear that draperies narrow at the feet and ample at the hips, with the waist in the natural position, but hign irt front and slightly over hung by the bodice at the back, and the belt d coat and V-shaped opening at the throat will characterize the fashions of to-morrow. II How He Got Kid of ‘' Rush Orders. ’ ’ “Several times in the past few weeks we have been called to the phone by some woman who was trying to get a meat market,” said a bachelor who keeps house with several other men. "Apparently this woman had a way of giving the butcher shop’s num ber so that is sounded like ours. The voice was always the same and the woman invariably had a rush order. It was amusing at first, but it be came tiresome. So last week 1 did something." “What did you do?" “1 took her order for a dozen chops to be sent around at once .and -he hasn’t given me an order since." “Chicken Pie To-day" Stirs Up Whole Street. Flapping his arms to right and left, raising them over his head, describing eccentric orbits with his hands, a sailor in the uniform of the l\ S. Navy crossed the Forsyth Street viaduct yesterday at about 1 o’clock. Such unusual conduct was enough to draw the attention of every one in the street. Some stopped to watch him, with amused smiles. As the “Jackie ' approached a superstitious negro dodged. The sailor seemed not to notice what a stir he was making, lie kept his eyes skyward. “Crazy as a loon/' remarked one pe destrian with a grin “Oh! 1 guess not,” answered his companion. “Look up there.” In the window of the recruiting sta tion stood a petty officer watching in tently. “He’s wig-wagging," explained a by stander. “I was in the signal corps once myself. What he telegraphed was that the lunch room on the corner has chicken pie to-day.” NEGRO PUGILIST SEEKS HOME IN SOCIETY SECTION CHICAGO, April 18.—Word has been received in Chicago that Jack Johnson, negro pugilist, was negotiat ing for an estate in Rutherford, N.

Advocated Professor Munsterberg Would Test Workers' Mental Capacity for Their Occupation. WASHINGTON. April 18.—“A Government bureau in the Depart ment of Labor, it seems to me—a bureau of psychology, if you please— ought to be established for the ex amination of persons who are en gaged in the industries." declared Hugo Munsterberg, professor of psy chology in Harvard University, who spent some time with President Wil son yesterday. "I have long advocated Federal ex amination of persons in the indus tries." continued Professor Munster berg. “My plan would be to have a corps of experts in psychology make a study of persons engaged in all kinds of industrial work, with a view to de termining their fitness for the employ ment they select. The mental capac- itv of men and women is just as im portant as their physical soundness. ’ CHICAGO SWITCHMEN AND RAILROADS COMPROMISE CHICAGO, April 18.—Railroad switchmen and general managers of Western railroads entering Chicago to-day have settled their difficulties. A compromise was reached under which the switchmen agreed not to push their demand for time and one- half for overtime and the railroads granted an increase in pay.

Some undigested food is left n the stomach daily, which the liver should clear away.
