Auckland News. Jan. AT this

Nimrod is on her way to Antarctica,
straining unwilling at her tow-rope as
though she didn't like it at all. For
never of her own free will does any
intelligent vessel enter the ice-pack,
it being so easy to get in and SO lard
to get out. 1t is the men who are
driving her, and dragging her, who are
eager-eager as only men can be to

CONGRESS MAY GET MESSAGE
President Intimates Purpose to
Transmit It, Anyway.
Contains recommendation for En-
actment of EmpIoyers'
Liability Law.

Tie pendulum has swung again. II is
probable the President will send his al
ready prepared special message TO Con-
gress
This Is message which has been in
waiting for some time. repeating in some
what more temperate language the radi-
cal recommendation contained in his
famous January message.
A few days ago il was reported that
the President. in response to urgent ap-
peals from party leaders who are looking
for Republican harmony IN a campaign
year. had decided TO refrain from build
ing a fire" under Congress.
Roosevelt is known to have said within
the last twenty-fOur hours. however. that
he may send in the message in question
He has. in fact. led certain persons TO
believe the chances are in favor OF such
action.
The message contains several recon-
mendations. notably those for the enact
ment of an employers liability law and
amendments to the Sherman antitrust
law. The Sherman law is complained OF
not only by the good trusts" but by
Samuel Gompers and the other leaders Of
the American Federation Of Labor.
Seth Low. who has been in conference
with President Roosevelt in regard TO
the Sherman law as applied to labor
unions in the Danbury hatters' case. left
Washington for New York yesterday aft
ernoon.

CLAY HOLDS TRUMP
Would Tack Liquor Bills on
Mail Subsidy Measure.
DELICATE SITUATION PROBABLE
Senator'S VIII BE Cup Against IT."
Being Placed Between TWO Fires.
TO-day's Session of SENATE May BE
EnIivsned by Efforts of Diplomatic
SOIOns to Find a Way Out.

A situation Of novel character will con-
front members Of the Senate to-day when
the mail subsidy bill is brought up for
final consideration and placed on its
passage.
Senator Clay. OF Georgia, will furnish
a diversion calculated to send cold
shivers down the backs Of all those Sen
ators who favor the bill and favor also a
drastic law against the sale and use Of
intoxicating liquors. Just what viii hap
pen nobody knows, but part, at least, Of
the session will be interesting.
II is Senator Clays purpose 70 offer as
amendments to the subsidy measure sew
eral bills intended to support the au-
thorities of prohibition States in carrying
out the anti-liquor laws. These bills were
introduced by Senators Bacon and TIL
man and Representative Littlefield, and
IN substance they provide that all in
toxicating liquors sent from one State into
another shall be subject 10 the laws OF
the state OF delivery upon arrival there.
This is intended to overcome the decision
OF the Supreme Court that intoxicating
liquors. delivered In original packages
in prohibition State. are not subject
10 the liquor laws Of that State.
Puts Them In Quandnry.
Senator GalIinger, in charge of the
ship subsidy bill, is an ardent prohibition
is'. but ne believes that II any OF the
bills mentioned IS attached to it the sub
sidy bill Will Se defeated Those who
are opposed to prohibition would vote
against the bill on the ground that they
are opposed 10 subsidies, and those who
are opposed to subsidies would vote
agains; il anyhow.
Then, again. a subcommittee of the
Senate Committee On judiciary has de-
cided that the Bacon and Tillman bills
are unconstitutional. and It Is likely that
there will be opposition to them as
amendments on that ground
II is expected that wnen Mr.. Clay OF
fe-s his first prohibition amendment
somebody VIII make point OF order
against it, on the ground that il is not
sermane 10 the subsidy measure. This
will put it UP to Vice President Fair
banks the presiding officer Of the
Senate. he would however. have the
right to leave the question 10 the Senate's
Dc. .eTminatiOn. and on the vote the first
test would come.
May Embarrass GaIIinser.
Air. Gallinger may be placed in an en-
harrassing position by Mr. Clay's pur-
pose. Fayoring prohibition. according to
report. he is. nevertheless. heart and soul
f. favor Of the subsidy measure. and does
not want 10 jeOpardize its chances. He
IS said 70 believe that they would be
JeoDardized by annexing a prohibition
statute 20 the bill. The amendments OF
Senator Clay are likely 10 lead to an
animated discussion, which will be en-
1oyed most by those who are opposed to
both subsidies and the embargo on the
liquor traffic.

Eighteen Offices Dropped Of Pay
Roll by the House,
Debate on Proposition Brings Out
TaIent-BiII Passes with Appro-
Priation of s15O,se9, 900.

Gen. Keller Of Ohio. the veteran ex-
Speaker OF the House. in charge Of the
general pension appropriation bill. yester-
day closed debate on that measure. 1t
was devoted largely 20 a defense OF the
action of the Appropriations Committee
in abolishing the eighteen pension agen-
cies located throughout the country. and
providing for all payments to be made
by cne agent.
1t not only resulted In a saving Of about
Sl74,ooo a year in salaries. Gen. Keifer
said, but, IN the opinion of the committee.
it was better for the pensioners. Repre-
sentative Taylor. Of Ohio. where one Of
the eighteen agencies is now located.
moved to retain all of them.
lie said the pension agents removed
would have legal claim against the gov
ernment. having been appointed by the
President under law that had not been
repealed. and. while the President could
disestablish the agencies, there was moth
ing to Show that he intended to do so.
The proposed abolition Of agencies was
also opposed by Representative Stafford.
OF the Milwaukee district. where another
agency is located. Representative Dal-
zell said the President was not in the
habit of Withholding from Congress what
he wanted done. and he said he would
vote Tor the abolition OF these agencies
when the President tells Congress that
he favors IL, and submits reasons there
for.
Concluding. Mr.. Dalzell said that the
real object of the proposition was 10 dis
charge. not in frank. many way. but
indirectly. seventeen Union veterans. who
held these agencies. and the widows and
orphans OF many more

Some Things.
WHY HE BOSSES PANAMA ZONE
Harrison Resolution, Calling Upon
Executive TO Explain His BOsSinE,
Is Passed-JOhn Sharp williams
Says the President Acted with
out Constitutional Authority.

An attack upon President Roosevelt was
made in the House yesterday by Repre-
sentative Francis p. Harrison, OF New
York, who charged the President with ex-
ceeding his authority in the government
Of the Panama Canal Zone
The House had under consideration a
resolution calling upon the. President 10
inform it "by what authority ne has exer-
eised the functions of government in the
Canal Zone since the expiration of the
Fifty-eighth Congress-"
There was an anomalous condition in
the Canal Zone. Mr. Harrison said The
President was exercising executive, legis-
lative, and judicial functions there with
out being empowered TO do so by Con-
gress.
1t was an assumption Of imperialism.
Mr.. Harrison charged. The speaker read
a number OF orders issued by the Presi-
dent promulgating laws governing the
Canal Zone, among them one abolishing
municipal government there
Here is one. said Mr.. Harrison, read
Ing an order relating to immigration into
Panama, that Is remarkable. among
other things, because in It was employed
the simplihed spelling system"
What was the President 10 do in the
absence OF legislative authority to form a
government in the Canal Zone?' inquired
Mr.. Harrison.
81 will answer" said he He might
have employed the big stick and thus Sc
cured results"
Mann Defends President.
Representative Mann. Of Illinois. replied
TO Representative Harrison in defense Of
the President He declared that in the
absence of affirmative action by Con
gress the President was empowered. IN
der the Constitution. to govern the Canal
Zone.
Had he not exercised such authority
anarchy would have prevailed on the
isthmus. confusion would have resulted
and the work Of construction would have
been retarded, If not entirely prevented.
Minority Leader John Sharp Williams
contended that the government on the
Zone prescribed by the President was abb
solutely without authority.
AT the conclusion OF the debate. the res
oiution Of inquiry was passed.
