Washington April 20-Through the failure Of all
but three % the Republican members to attend the

resolutions introduced by Mr.. Williams the minor
ity floor leader, calling fo- information from the
Attorney General. Chairman Jenkins endeavored
20 prevent action the resolutions, but vote

committee were present and in order to follow the
action OF his committee the chairman voted with
them.
One OF the resolutions requests the Attorney Gen

anthracite Coal Trust consisting OF the anthracite
carrying railroads doing an interstate business"
and Il so. send the fun report OF such invesu-

CANAL ZONE GOVERNMENT
Louisiana Plan adopted
by House Commerce Committee.
lFRom THE TRIBUNE BUREAU

Washington, April 20-The action of the
House Committee Interstate and Foreign
Commerce in rejecting the Panama Civil bill
passed by the Senate and reporting as a sub
stitute the second section Of the act Of 1913, OF
which Thomas jefferson was the author, pro-
viding for the government Of the territory ac-
ouired by the Louisiana Purchase. with some
minor amendments. produced something OF a
sensation in the Senate to-day, and may result
in difficult work for the conferrees who will
probably be appointed to reconcile the differ
ences between the two houses.
While Senate leaders are not insensibe to the
compliment paid to the President by the House
committee. intrustlng TO him fun control over
the canal zone. and appreciate the significance
OF adopting a bin drafted by jefferson con-
ferrng such extensive powers on the President,
there IS some disposition 10 believe that the
President would himself prefer the delegation
by Congress Of q share Of responsibility to the
Panama Commission. II Is remarked that the
measure passed by the Senate was drafted by
Admiral Walker and his colleagues on the COM
mission end revised by the Committee Inter
oceanic Canals. and for that reason the Senate
VIII be reluctant to accept the House substi
tute. provided that body follows the recon-
mendation Of its committee.
II IS not impossible however in view OF the
short time remaining before the adjournment OF
Congress and the difficulty or reConciling two
such widely differing propositions that the Sen
ate VIII eventually accede to the wishes Of the
lower chamber. with the purpose OF enacting
comprehensive code for the government OF the
canal zone at the next session Of Congress.
Some color IS lent to this possibility by the fact
that many members Of the Senate regard the
Panama bill which they sent TO the House
faulty in several particulars which was doubt
less due TO the fact that yet the Committee
on Interoceanic Canals has regularly elected
chairman.
The provisions OF the measure reported TO tho
House to-day are as follows:
That until the expiration Of the LVIIIth Con-
gress. unless provision for the temporary gov
eminent Of the territory acquired by the United
States from the Republic OF Panama by the
terms Of the treaty ratified on the Goth day OF
February. 1904 be sooner made by Congress. all
the military. civil and judicial powers exercised
by the officers OF the existing government Of the
said territory or granted by the terms Of said
treaty to the United Stares shall he vested in
such person persons and shall be exercised
IN such manner tho President OF the United
States shall direct for the government Of said
territory and for maintaining and protecting
the inhabitants thereof IN the free enjoyment OF
their liberty, property and religion.
