the report circulated that the contend
ing parties had arrived at a satisfac-
tory understanding, it has now devel-

decided to take the matter out of the
hands of their attorneys and abide by
the decision of Virgil c. Bogue, a civil
engineer. Engineer Bogue was chief

most important portions of the North

Waller returned to duty with the mar

TO PROTECT PRESIDENT.
Debate on the Anti Anarchy Measure
Resumed.

Washington, March 19.-Soon after
the senate convened today the house
bill for the relief of Postmaster Coyne
of Chicago was paaSsd. The purpose
of the measure is to relieve the post
master from the loss of s74,610, the
value of stamps stolen by burglars last
October. The senate then resumed con-
sideration of the bill for the protection
of the president. Spooner, of Wiscon-
sin, addressed the senate in support of
the measure, dealing especially with the
legal and constitutional questions In
volved. Replying to the argument of
Bacon, Spooner said 1t did not follow
because, under the act of Edward Ill.
assassination of the king Of England or
attempted assassination of the king
was treason, that assassination Of the
president of the United States was
treason. Assault upon the president,
however, was crime against the gov
ernment, ano he did not think the gov
ernment was disabled by the consltu-
ZION from Furnishing 1t as a crime. BY
It's very nature It was an insfduous as
sault upon the sovereignty OF the Unit
ed States, whatever might be it's mo-
tive.
He declared If Bacon's argument
was crystallized into law this would
be an impotent government, unable to
protect itself against obvious crimes,
endangering our institutions and OBJ
structing the operations OF the govern
ment." The legitimate conclusion from
the senator's argument, he said. would
be that this is the weakest government
under the sky. 1t Is not" 1t was the
evident right Of the government of the
United States to protect its own off,
cials from assault or assassination
while engaged in the discharge OF their
governmental duties. "If the function
is federal one he said ut involves
the safety or sovereignty or the gov
eminent. there are not state lines" He
inserted there was no time when the
president was not engaged in the per-
formance Of his official duties. He could
perform his duties and exercise his
powers anywhere. day or night. AS
