President Administers 8
 Dose To the senate EXPEDITION IS PROMISED
In the Disposition of the Administration Bills Ali ter a Conference of Some of the Senators at the White House

Washington. Feb. Is. - In effect President Taft said to some of the sen ate leaders whom he called to the White House today: Why don't you push the measures to redeem the party pledges while the house is dealing with the appropriation bills? You are nov ing too slowly"
 It is said that he exhibited impa- tience with the degree of progress thus far made toward the enactment of the administration bills.
 By way of result. the senators were able to announce tonight the following: The almost hopeless tangle in which the Root and Shoot amendments have ensnared the postal savings bank bill will receive attention at a conference tOmQrrow of the finance committee. When it is whipped into shape the postal savings bank bill will displace the Alaskan legislative council bill as unfinished business. and the latter will be laid aside as involving problems that cannot be. solved at the present session The administration railroad bill is to he reported from the com nlittee on interstate commerce next week, and force will be put behind il to pass it without material amend ment
 The several conservation bilss are tn be perfected by special committee Of western senators appointed today by Chairman Nelson from the member ship of the committee on public lands, and the measures will be reported To the senate as rapidIy as they are com pleted.
 The anti-injunction bill will be con sidered by the judiciary committee on Monday. Statehood legislation. which has already been reported. will not be permitted to lag and probably will re- ceive attention as soon as the postal savings bank gill is out of the way.
 The program includes neither the federal incorporation bill nor the ship subsidy. although the latter :s likely to pass the senate without much de- bate It will meet difficult hurdles in the house.
 Senators Carter. BOrah snI Bever- idse carried to the capitol Mir. Taft's views of the delays encountered by the bills contained in the program. They reported that there is no uistakfns the presidents temper. The posta! savings bank bill gave him the most concern. he said, because the opposi- tion developed did not appear to be based on sound principles.
 When the senate adjourned today the postal savings bank bill was in such fl,. ts-TlI rO prophecy the outcome In truth. the adjournment was brought about chief Iv because the senate was not ready to face the situation with reference [" this bill. and there was nothing else that could be considered. as the Alas kan bill was in snarl even more in- tricate.
 All afternoon the senators entered NIT. Aldrich's room. As result of these visits it was arranged to have conference of wider scope tomorrow. At that time will gather all the sena- tors who have introduced conflicting amendments to the postal savings bank bill The republican leaders have announced their determination to see the president through on the program. Mir. Aldrich predicted tonight that aD  agreement would be reached that would bring to the support of the bill enough republicans to pass it.
 MT. Aldrich does not disguise that he considers the problem exceedingly difficult. On the other hand. Senator Root and his followers are contendins for provision like that contained ir the Root amendment which would con- constitutionally justify the creation Of postal banks by placing them under the borrowing clause of the constitu- ton.
 Many western senators. however, take the position that such clause would inevitably concentrate at Wash ington a vast fund that it is expected the postal Repositories will bring out of hiding The two position are ultra antagonistie and friends of the bill fear that unless one side or the other gives way the bill will fail.
