OPPOSITION TO PROPOSED PLAN. Canal Matter Raises Pro-

 Powers in One, a Direc-
 tor General.
ROOSEVELT CALLED A DICTATOR

Washington, Dec. 15.-vigorous op- position to the proposed plan to abol- ish the Isthmian Canal Commission and to vest the power of building the Panama canal and of governing the canal gone in one director general. ap pointed by the President, arose Tn the House today during general de1ate on the Mann bill which was reported oy inc Committee on Interstate and For eign Commerce.
 Of scarcely less intensity was the storm of protest aroused when 1t was learned that the Committee had rec commended that the judicial power on the canal zone should be vested in one circuit court and such inferior courts as the President may constitute. Tnis would require the abolishment or tne existing Supreme Court on the zone. An appeal direct to the Supreme Court of the United States is authorized. however, in questions arising out of the constitution. treaties. laws or the United States. involving death sen- tAnce or Imprisonment. Similar ap- peal is allowed in civil eases tnyolv- ing more than s5.00o.
 Representative Mannf Ill.). author of the bill and Chairman of the Com mittee, attempted to explain the me- cE8S1ty TOT a meAeuI6 tuAt WVutu NSA fralfze responsibility for completion Of the work of digging the canal and that would make congressional pro- vision for the construction of the ea- nal and the civil government of the canal which the President had been carrying on.
 "What are the sources of authority from which the President (Rooseveit) derived the right to claim to govern the canal zone?" interrupted Repre- sentative Harrison (N. Y.)
 Mann to Defense.
 T Justify the actions of the Presi- dent" replied Mir. Mann, "upon the ne. cessity of preventing chaos upon the zone and when Congress. in its wis dom chose not to provide form of government after the end of the Fifty eighth Congress by its specific enact ment, think 1t wrote into the law without language that We believed tho President had the power to carry on the government, and did not intend that any local government should ex- ist on the zone."
 After MT. Mann had concluded his explanation, MT. Harrison denounced the bill in an extended speech. He designated President Roosevelt as a sdictator" and a "despot" and de- clared that he assumed authority in
