General Victoriana Huerta, provisional pres ident of Mexico, flatly refused tonight to accede U the unconditional de mands of the United States that 'he salute the American flag, and Con gress will be asked by President Wil son tomorrow Jor authority to use armed forces to uphold the honor and ignity of the nation. - Negotiations with Huerta over the demand for a salute on the repara tion lor the arrest of American blue jackets at Tampico on ApriLlO came to a close tonight at 0 o'clock, the last hour given by President Wilson for a favorable response from the Mexican dictator. The final word of Huerta to Charge O'Shaughnessy was a refusal to comply, unless the United States would guarantee in writing that his salute would be re turned. The Senate Debate on Canal Tolls. .Washington, April 20. The debate on the Canal Tolls in. the Senate has shown that the ablest senators on tftie Republican side have thrown par tisanship to the winds and are sup porting President Wilson in his ef forts to have the Free Toll Provision repealed. Senators Burton, of Ohio, and Lodge, ot Mass., have both de livered brilliant and ; statesmanlike speeches in support of ' the repeal. This question is really getting more of a tempest m a teapot than any thing else. Many people have not given serious thought and are being mislead by shallow, demagogues whs prefer to make their living with their jaws instead ot work.: ; 1 he. Panama Canal ,which will be opened to traffic in about three months, has cost Uncle Sam about $40,000,000. . If Uncle Sam should build a railroad from the At lantic to the Pacific coast at a simi lar cost anyone would say he was in sane if he allowed American locomo tives to run over it free, of toll, and yet that is about what it would mean T . .. ! . l i - it we alio weti American vessels to go through the Canal free of tolls. The tolls on the coast-wise shipping will amount to probably seven million dol lars per year as that is what it is now estimated to oe tne , ngures. There are very few people in the country who would willingly vote sev- en million dollars per year out o the United States treasury and iuto the" Dockets on the New York hip ping trust. H e only sensible way to operate the Panama Canal a to eom pel every ship of commerce to pay the same rate of toll because . the Canal itself is a great blessing , to any ship that ran use its privileges. It's a modest man who doesn't think the photographer could havo made a better looking picture of mm had he only tried. . , . BELL 8H0W8 UP HORNETS, j While His Team Mates Bang the De livery of Emery's Twirlers for 12 Safeties. Without team work practice, training and band of local ball lay- ers under "Ding Hell went to Char lotte Saturday and came extremely near defeating Manager Kmery's Hornets. With a little team um k and machine play the Concordians would i j . i i . . uve mane ine leaguers lake t lie sinnil end in the count. The locals, Iiohcv ei, made the professions 1:0 the limit and demonstrated one thin,' in no un certain manner that they could hit the ball. The following is from T 1 1 Observer's account of the game: Emery tried three twirlers. the Im-sI of whom was Barnes. Plvmpton was touched up at a lively gait and was victimized by errors. Barnes went the next three innings and succumbed to only one hit and yielded no runs. Thrailkill went the final three fram:-s and seemed confident that he could pitch if he wanted to, but was not cutting loose. It was dccidedlv the worst after noon the infant iles have had in the eyes of the fans who have been watching their daily pilgrimages across the pasture. Nothing would work right and their inability to tieM was no more glaringly disappointim; than their inefficiency against Bell who yielded only about half as ninny hits as his team-mntcK uatliered tot him. The Concord outfit batted well un.l played a creditable game throughout. They acted as if they had been on. the field before and in the aggregati'in was a few better than axerage players of all round capacities. Urby in right seemed to be the most formidable hitter of the gang, although some ot the others toward the top of the hat ting order gave a good account of themselves.
