SENATE CONSIDERS THE
PANAMA CANAL ZONE BILL
Decides to Give the Commission
Power to Grant PardonS
for OffenseS.
MEASURE NOT CHANGED

WASHINGTON, April 1.-THE Senate de-
voted the entire day to consideration of the
bill for the government of the Panama
the floor most of the time. The discussion
related principals to details of governing
the canal, but some consideration also was
given TO Mr.. Hales amendment requiring
the use of American bottoms in the ship
ment of canal supplies to the zone.
Mr.. Bacon declared the provision in Sec
ton 13 of the bill. giving the commission
authority TO grant pardons for offenses in
the canal zone. was exceptional.
Mr.. Kittredge replied that 1.-The power of
the President to pardon offenses committed
in this zone does not exist
Mr.. Bacon expressed surprise at this
statement, saying 1t limited a broad grant
by the Constitution to the President and
that the power was one that could not be
delegated. 1T is" he said, "a very radical
proposition. L have always thought that
unlimited, but exclusive, and that the pow
ers of the commission should be limited to
feprieyes."
Mr.. Hoar commended that the power to
pardon was not exclusively vested in the
President. After general debate the Sec
ton was agreed to as II stood.
The Senate adopted resolution authoriz-
ing the lowering of government dams in the
illinois river. The Senate also adopted con-
current resolutions, reported from the COM
mittee on international exposition, accept
ing the invitation of the management OF
the louisiana Purchase Exposition to Con
gress TO attend the opening exercises of that
exposition, and providing for the appoint
ment of joint committee of ten senators
and fifteen representatives to represent the
two houses of Congress on that occasion.

DIETRICH EXONERATED
BY FELLOW SENATORS
Deemed Not Guilty of Corrupt or
Unworthy Conduct by a Spe-
cial Committee.
REPORT WAS UNANIMOUS

WASHINGTON, April Ex-senator Die
trich, of Nebraska, has been declared by a
special comrnittee of Congress to be not
guilty of any violation OF the statutes of
the United States or of any corrupt or I'M
worthy conduct relating either to the APP
pointment of Jacob Fisher as postmaster
at Hastings, Neb., or the leasing of the
building in that city to the United States
for a postoffice
The committee which investigated the
charges against Senator Dietrich was COM
posed of Senators Hoar. Platt of Connecti-
members of the committee are Republicans
and two Democrats. The report is unani-
nous.
The report reviews the testimony at
length and the conclusion is reached that
the charges cannot be sustained. The
committee with reference to the lease of
the building at Hastings finds that it was
effected while Mr.. Dietrich was Governor
and before he became senator; that it ex-
tended for ten years and that the law gov
erning in such matters was not violated.
The report says the committee admitted
not only such evidence against Senator
Dietrich ''as would have been competent
in court of justice, but also q great deal
of hearsay testimony, being all which was
brought to the attention of the committee
as possible cew to the further informal
ton" This course, 1T says, was taken with
the consent of Senator Dietrich and it is
stated that the committee did not deter
mine how far this proceeding would have
been justified for any reason, without such
consent, even if they had carefully re-
Trained from attaching any weight to it in
their final decision. But il, in fact, did not
in the least tend to shake or effect the con-
clusion they have reached"

POSTAL INVESTIGATION
UNDER CONSIDERATION
Three Senators See the President,
but Decline to Talk About Re-
suit of the Conference.

WASHINGTON, April IA. - President
Roosevelt had an important conference to-
day with Senators Aldrich, Spooner and
Penrose, the last named being the chair
man of the committee on postoffices and
postroads. The conference related to the
proposed investigation by a Senate COM
mittee of the affairs of the Postoffice De-
partment.
All were reticent as to the details of the
interview but enough is known about it to
indicate that an inquiry into the postal af-
fairs is not so likely to be authorized as ii
was a day or two ago. The subject is being
considered very carefully by the Senate
leaders, and a definite decision one way or
the other may be reached very soon.
