PANAMA TOLLSLOOMING ISSUE

Harding's Pledge for Free; U. S. Passage Promises

New Congress Action.

KNOX MAY LEAD FIGHT

further Protest From GreatBritain Expected to Mark

Repeat Steps.Til* pledges of Presidsnt-elect

Harding that he will endeavor to reRtoreto American commerce the

right of free passage through the

.tanama Canal, notwithstanding theSurrender of that right to Great

'Britain" by Congress at the personalroqueat of President Wilson, bidsfair to be the leading Issue In thenew Congress.

'Prominent men in both parties say

.that there can be but one result. Theact which provided free toll toAnarlcan ships was baaed on the argumentsprincipally of Secretary ofState Knox and It la stated that hewill load the light to restore therights to American commerce.

It was pointed out here that hadthe government been so unfortunsteas to have adopted the league of nationsthe free tolls business wouldbave been talcen cognisance of byGreat Britain In the league of nationsand could have made of It withthat handicap to the United Statesa vary serious International matter,

f Back to First Principles.' As the case now stands it Is expectedthat Senator Knox will goback to first principles. In his discussionsof the right of the UnitedStates to administer the canal withthe British Foreign Secretary L*nadowne.Secretary Knox indicated InJust so many words to the Britishgovernment that the canal havingbeen built by the United States, itbelonged to the United States andthat no nation had a right to Interferewith the management of the^waterway by this country. The Britiish government, however. Insinuatedthat Great Britain still had someresiduary rights In the canal evenafter the Hay-Pauncefote treaty.These rights he contended weremoral and there was some veiledallusion to the effect that she hadsomething more than a moral right.It was insinuated that as certainparts of the famous Clayton-Bulweritreaty ware retained in the Hay(Pauncefotetreaty, Great Britain had{ ome sort of continuing territorialbight. Secretary of State Knox ignoredthis argument as fallaciousknd proceeded on the theory that thecanal was entirely American and for'American Interests.

[ Upon Great Britain's violent pro*'tost against the "discriminations"

( 'Involved In free tolls to Americani ships. President Wilson made anappoal to Congress to repeal the lawas being a breach of the good faithof nations and good internationalmorals.

last week a little old woman steppedfrom the door of a great old. fefeuseIn Hancock, N. Y.. into an automobilewhich carried her to the ftroeralof her brother, E.

Far-llfty-nlne years the woman,

Miss Fannie M. Read, a beauty and

belle of civil war time, has secludedherself*ln the great old house, refusingto _cross the threshold except

when one of her own kin was burledin the town. The curious who

sought to catch a glimpse of the

woman about whom traditions have

gathered for so many years failedIn the attempt to see her face, withall their trying.

Sees *>J Reporter.Recently when a reporter saw

Miss Read at her house she appearedwith a shawl gathered closelyabout her small face. From theshelter of Its folds her eyes, stillkeenly blue, looked forth timidlyand distrustfully. But her speech,clear snd decisive, gave evidencethat the long and lonely vigils ofthese many years of her seclusionhave not Impaired the vigor of an,excellent Intelligence.Like Miss Havisham. the weirdly

interesting figure of Dickens' "GreatExpectations," Miss Read Immuredherself in her home for love's take,so tradition says. And, like MissHavisham also she has refused to'have alterations and repairs madeIn the old house as the years havegone by.Not a piece of furniture has been

moved In those large old fashionedrooms since Miss Fannie withdrewfrom the world.

Permits Jfe Repairs.Picture cords have rotted and the

pictures which they held have fallento the floor, but Miss Fannie hasrefused to have new cords put ipand the pictures rehung. Year byyear the house has fallen Intogreater disrepair, but when thosefew persons, only close kin and one

slight, fair creature, with blue eyesand the prettiest white hands in theworld, a regiment came to camp onLe Barre's flats, across the DelawareRiver from the main streetof Hancock. It was a soldier ofthis regiment who fell In love withMiss Fannie, so the story goes.Never in the history of the beautifullittle mountain village has

there been such a gay season asin that first year of the civil war.A regiment of gallant young n.enbrought to their very doors meant,a great deal to a little village'many miles from the great centersof life.The old American House, which

was kept by Fannie Read's father,Riely Read, was the scene of many'of the gay affairs in which officersfrom the camp took part. It cameto be headquarters for the youngsoldiers. Among the young girls ofHancock Miss Read was easily themost popular.The 101st Regiment had a long

stay at Hancock, but the time camewhen It made ready to go to thefront. It was then, according to theold stories, that Miss Read and herparents began to have a differenceof opinion about her soldier romance.Fathers in those days oftentook a stern ,stand in-such matters.Miss Read was the only girl In
