years Of agitation of the project for the
construction of an i~nter-ocean canal,
the house Of representatives today en-
tered upon the consideration of a
easur to actually authorize the
building OF a canal.
upon the subject have been before the
house, but this was the first time posi-
tive action can be predicted.
Tomorrow the bill will be voted upon
before adjournment. The debate today
was memorable because of the unex-
oped. Mr.. Burton, of Ohio, chairman
OF the rivers and harbors committee;
MI. Hit, of Illinois, chairman of the
foreign affairs committee, and Mr..
cannon Of Illinois, chairman of the
appropriations committee, threw the
weight of their influence against it.
moi because they are opposed to the
building or the canal, but because
they considered nat the time for au-
thorizing his construction was not
ripe. Mr.. Burton and Mr.. Hit con-
tended that the bill would violate the
Clayton-Bulwer treaty, which guar
antees the neutrality of the canal, and
MI Cannon quoted Admiral Walker,
chairman of the isthmian canal COM
mission, as saying that the commits
sion was not yet prepared to say which
was the best route.
Mr.. Cannon contended that the au-
thorization Of the construction of the
canal over the Nicaraguan route at
this time would delay its building for
years M cost the government $50. OOO,-
900.
The debate also developed other
lines of opposition. Some of the dem
ocrats insist hat the amendment
striking the words defend" and for
tifications" from the bill are designed
70 n Il - 80
Pauncefote treaty and hat it is there
fore, Objectionable, and Mr.. Shackle-
ford, of Missouri, desired the bill
amended so that if that treaty is rati-
fled the bill will not go into effect.
The anomalous situation is there
fore presented of practically every
m of the floor protesting his
friendship for the canal and yet OF
powerful opposition arrayed against
it on various grounds.
= The bill was ably and vigorously
championed by Chairman Hepburn.
of the Interstate commerce committee.
Mr.. lowering, of Massachusetts; Mr..
Ransdell, of Louisiana and Mr.. Cor
liss, of Michigan.
Mr.. Fletcher, of Minnesota, was the
only member of the m commit
tee who opposed the passage of any
bill at this session.
Mr.. Hepburn sought to reach an
agreement DIS W the leUSln Oh genera
debate, and the division of time, but
as some temper was displayed by Mr..
Cannon Inc Mr.. Hepburn, the house
finally went into committee of the
whole to consider the bill CMr. Cooper
of Wisconsin, in the chair,) without
any agreement. but with the under
standing hat a night session for de-
bate should be held tonight.
The bill was hen read. Mr.. Hep
burn then offered the amendments of
the committee substituting the word
protect for defend" and the lords
provision for Defense" instead of
Notifications for defense"
AT 5:25 o'clock p. m. the house too
a recess until So'clock.
At the night session discussion of the
bill was continued until 1920 o'clock.
when the house adjourned.

One
Price

Mr.. Barrows spoke at great length in
support of the claim quoting law anu
facts in support of his contention
After long evening session the argu-
ments were concluded and Referee Pierce
took the case under ADJUSTMENT. He VIII
announce his decision in the matter nj u
later date. This claim of $4,000 is the
largest which has been made against the
bankrupt estate since the majority OF
the Claims We're filed before the referee.
The petitions dismissed "Wednesday by
the referee were petitions for the re-im-
bursement TO the full amount OF coupons
deposited with Woodbury. g. Moulton Tor
collection only, and by them collected
and deposited with the Cana! National
bank. The petitioners claimed that the
proceeds. so collected respectively increased
the amonnt of the deposit in the Canal
National bank and that inasmuch as lat
er the bank turned over to the assignees
and to the trustees a certain amount In
cash, therefore the proceeds OF these re-
spectiye coupons were traceable into the
hands of the trustees. On the other
hand il was suggested that Immediately
after the assignment of Woodbury. &
Moulton the bank, by vote of its direc-
tors, appropriated the full amount on de-
posit to the credit of the firm on account
of the firm notes held by the bank. These
notes bore collateral security which at
the time of the appropriation had not
been sold. The collateral was, however,
soon afterwards sold and brought about
the face of the note. This left in the
hands of the bank an amount about
equal TO the amount it had appropriated
from the deposits of Woodbury. & Moul-
| ton. 1t was further suggested that while
the amount thus turned over by the bank
| to the assignees and trusts was OF practi-
cally the same size as the amount OF the
FIRMS deposits IN the bank, nevertheless
by the act of the appropriation the fund
on deposity lost its identity so far as the
proceeds Of the coupons were concerned
that they were mixed with the proceeds
of the sale of securities and therefore
were not traceable through the bank
into the hands of the assignees and trus-
tees. On the grounds stated the referee
dismissed the petition Of all those the
proceeds of whose coupons had been de
posted in the Canal National bank.
| These petitions were but the entering
wedge and though they involved but a
| few hundred dollars had they been al
lowed many other of similar character
would have followed.
The claim of George W. York was pre-
