Amendment 70 This Effect was Pro-
ssntsd by Representative Littausr. OF
New vork-surton, Of Ohio, Pre-
ssnssd HE Views on Lock Level.
Washington, June 16.-In committee
Of the whole Friday the house, by
vote OF l10 to %, voted In favor OF
lock canal across the isthmus OF Pan
anna, the amendment to this enect
being presented by Representative Lit
tauer. Of New York.
With members of congress sitting on
the short steps In the aisles OF the
house, around the space In front OF
the SPEAKERS desk, with large men,
bership Of the lower branch OF con-
gress, with the galleries filled and with
Mr.. Burton. of Ohio, pointer In hand.
indicating by charts the difference be-
tween sea level and lock canal, the
house presented every appearance OF
the class room Of great university.
Mr. Burton gave notice that when
the item in the sundry civil bill was
reached appropriating upward Of $685.
0O0,0 900 he would ask for an hour In
which to present his views on the lock
level type Of Panama canal.
He prefaced his remarks by stating
that In the so-called Spooner law,
authorizing the expenditure Of $685.
000,O00 for the Panama canal. and
giving the president the right to in
augurate this movement and carry It
to . successful conclusion. the type
was left with the president with GER
tain specifications and limitations:
He said that lately there had been
. strong agitation for a sea level
canal and he believed that the time
had come when the question Of type
should be settled and the matter re-
from the domain Of controver.
~. Continuing. he said:
1T II not fair to the president and
to the executive officers of the gov.
ernment who have this great enter.
prise in charge to say to them, Pro.
ceed with the canal with all the speed
you may and with another breath to
say that we have not yet made up our
minds what kind Of q canal you shall
build 1t Is unjust to the subordi.
mates who have gone to the isthmus
to give their best years of their lives
and their best efforts, to hamper and
them by failing to decide
this question"
In reply to . question by Mr.. VIII.
liams, Of Mississippi. Mr.. Burton said
that the necessary implication Of the
Spooner act was that lock canal was
Intended.
Taking up his position in front Of
the maps. he called attention to the
vital difference between the two types
and remarked that when the topogra.
ply IL considered. It would be the
very strongest argument for the lock
level canal.
He said thirty-four Of the ablest en-.
yineers OF the world were for the lock
evel type and ne believed this jude.
meut should bs accepted.
Mr.. Bartlett. Of Georgia. made Q
point against the amendment Of Mr..
Attauer He insisted that the amend
mont was clearly new legislation aad
lrsued the question from that pre-
mise.
The chair. Mr.. Watson. Of Indiana.
held the amendment was in order and
