Washington, March 30.—On tfa£ eve
of the vote in the House of Repre
sentatives on the repeal of Atnerican
toll exemption in the Panama. Casal
Act, Congress tofisy was completely
absorved in the controversy. Verbal
artillery thundered throughout the
day in both the House and the Sen-
ate.
While oppbsingr forces -were clash
ing in oratorical fights at the cap^
itol. President Wilson took occasion
to discuss the all engrossing Mtua^
tion Vh'ith callers, expressinj^ keen re
gret that ■yfhat had promised to be
a dignified contest over fHnciples had
degerwrated iito a fight upon the ad
ministration. While on the subject
President Wilson cha^terized as “a
crowning insult of a number of in
sults” in the debate, the declaration
of Representative Knowland, cf CaU
ifornia, that the administration had
made a deal to repeal the to31s exem
ptions with Sir William Terrell, sec
retary to Sir Bdward Grey, British
sscretary for foreign affairs.

I iti Dyspepsia Now—tfere’s The
Reason.
The fact that there is less dys-
IWP*^ >>'•'1 indigestion in this ^m-
HBnity than there used to be is large-
V, we believe due to the extensive use
it Re^l Dyspepsia Tablets, hun-
4r*ds of pacicages of which we have
avid. No wonder we. have faith in
them. No wonder we are willing to
«C*r them to you for trial entirely at
Mr risk.
Among other things, they contain
Fepein and Bismuth, two of the great-
digestive acids known to medical
•eiarice; They soothe the infiamed
«(om«ch, ally pain, check heartburn i
aod distress, help to digest the food,
•nd t«nd to quickly restore the stom-
inrh to its natural comfortable
state.
There is no. red tape about our

SIR EDWARD GEEY MAKES DE
NIAL.
Lo.»idon, March 30.—Sir Edward
Grey, British foreign ^retary in the
House of Commons today denied pub
liehed allegations that the action of
President Wilson over the question
of Panama Canal tolls was the result
of an understanding between the gov
ernments of the United States and
Great Britain.
“It has been arrested,” he said,
“that under the terms of the un
derstanding Great Britain had under
taken to assist President Wilson’s pol
icy in regard to Mexico. Hiere is no
foundation whatever for theM reports
and I am glad to be able to take as
early an opportunity as possible for
saying so.”

ures to specify what foreig nrelations
prompted him to appeal for tolKs ex

hesit&te to give “what I feel nuiy have
been his reasons,” He then entered
upon a recital of acts of aggression
on the part of the United States, be
ginning with the taking of Philip
pines.
Taking up the Mexican situation
and reviewing the operations cf the
United States in other lands and the
interests in Mexico of England, Ja
pan and France and other nations.
Senator Lewis dramatically declared;
“The very first moment we move
down into Mexico with a view of exe
cuting the Monroe Doctrine against
foreign naitons who have stationed
themselves there upon the theory
that we no longer had a right to exe
cute the doctrine because our past
folly, Japan promptly would seixe the
Philippine Islands. She would then
seize Hawaii and the» in such con
ditions—our armies in Mexico, the ca
nal not finished, no way to have a
joinder of our navy—in what con
dition would our country be?
Russia, with her grievances—site
who sent aid to the Union at a time
when it was threatened—^feels that
because of English influence the ad
ministration in power the last 10
years lent its aid to Japan a^inst
ill the executive gailery of the Hou.w.
and listened to the debate for a time.
Ill the Senate, Senator Owen read
into the record a plank of the Balti
more jjlatforni denouncing ship sub
sidy. This, he .said, was a flat con
tradiction of the plank favoring ex
emption in the Panama canal and was
the expression of Democratic doctrine
for many years.
Senator Owen declared he favored
repeal of tke navigation laws giving
American owned and manned vessels
a costawise trade monopoly. Under
these taws, hs declared, the companies
had so divided the traffic among them
selves that they extorted improper
rates from the shippers.
Senators Bristow and Fall declared
that railroad domination of cocatwise
shipping, through arrangement with
the Pearson syndicate, qontroUiRg
the Tehuantepec railroad, had creat
ed a condition of monopoly in coast
wise traffic. The exemption provis
ion of the cai^aJ act was aimed at this
monopoly. Senator Bristow insisted.

that he had to differ with the Presi

admitted the American right to ex
