MEASURE TO REPEAL TOLLSJTRODUCED Chilton Presents Bill Empowering Wilson to Suspend Exemption Clause.
WASHINGTON', March 5. Within en hour after President Wilson had called upon congress to act. Senator Chilton, of West Virginia, this afternoon introduced a bill to amend the Panama Canal act and permit the repeal of the clause exempting American coastwise shipping from the pay
ment of toll. The text of the provision reads: "The President notwithstanding anything herein contained is hereby authorized and empowered by proclamation to make, suspend, alter, change or abolish any toll contemplated or provided for by the aft and may prescribe tolls to be charged in any case in which tolls are prohibited herein." Solons Differ. Comment upon the President's message among members of the house was widely divirgent. Representative Floyd of Arkansas of the judiciary committee said: "I absolutely approve of the sentiment expressed today by President Wilson. He made a great mistake in ever providing for free toll." Representative Doremus of Michigan, chairman of the Democratic congressional campaign, said: "The president has net changed my ifiind a bit. I have been for free tolls all along and will continue the fight against any repeal." Representative Mondell of Wyoming, Republican, declared: "I have taken the same position on Canal tolls as the president now so belatedly takes, but I fear that it is not so much the logic of economics, or the meaning of the language of the treaty, that has convinced the president as the fact that to recover from the mistake in politics which he has made as to Mexican affairs be is willing to conform to a policy in Panama approved by British statesmanship." Representative McDonald of Michigan, Progressive said: "I have been for free tolls and am still for free tolls."

Several hundred persons were about the station as the train approached. Just then one of the lions. Hector by name, a ferocious creature, managed to tear off the door of his cage. He thrust bis head out right in the faces of a group of negroes standing on the platform. They could not have been worse scared if the evil one had dropped among them. With open mouth Hector leaped into the crowd. Such a scattering and yelling were never seen and heard in Alabama. Hector landed on bis feet but rolled over and over. When he got up there was hardly a man, womnn or child within fifty yards. One woman, who had fainted, lay near the ii m. With one hound be was upon her. his teeth showing and bis tongue rolling out. The lookers on were horrified. The tamer was a long way off. and there was no one near with pistol or rifle. To the astonishment of every one the beast, instead of mangling the woman, simply sniffed at the body, turned it over with his paws and. after eyeing it suspiciously, walked away. He thought the woman was dead.

CHIHUAHUA CITY, March 5. With the arrival of word from Juarez that the long expected shipment of arms for the Constitutionalist forces had reached here, it. was intimated at General Villa's headquarters today that the attack upon Torreon would begin tomorrow or Saturday. Under the rebel leader's direction the artillery division of his army spent nearly all of today in trying out the new field pieces that just arrived here. Dispatches were received here today announcing that a Federal fili
buster band had captured Casas Grandes. The Federals were led by the Quevedo brothers and Jose Orozco. General Villa refused to comment upon the report until he could obtain confirmation. General Villa declined to discuss the disappearance of Gustav Bauch, the American who has been missing more than two weeks, except to say that General Carranza was thoroughly competent to discuss both the Bauch and Benton cases.
An Infant Scholar. Terhaps the greatest infant prodigy
on record was Christian Heinecker. I born at Lubeck in 1721.

In his fourth year be employed himself in the study of religion and church history, and his fame as a scholar spread so that the king of Denmark sent for him and was astonished at bis learning. Just before he was five, however, Heinecker fell sick and died. !
