Congress Has Ignored
 Tdft's Recommendations
BY wATTERsoN sTEALEY

Washington, March 2.-(Special)-lf tne President should get both his Canadian reciprocity measure and his tariff board bill through by noon Saturday, the ses- sion of Congress will still go down as record-breaker on the proposition of a Presidents inability to get legisla- ton as compared with his recommenda- tons. President Taft has obtained sub stantially nothing from Congress. re- publican House and a republican Senate of his own party have stood firm against his requests and the President has been impotent to secure legislation which in many instances is demanded without re- gard to party. It would be difficult 10 exaggerate the ineffectuality he has dis played, his lack of stlsas,th. his utter failure in this regard. The Presidents s message to Congress at the beginning of the session was replete with suggestions. Few if any of them have been adopted To economy he devoted much of his mes sage. The result is that the appropria- tion bills carry a billion dollars in direct appropriations and authorizations. This Is not the Presidents fault It may be claimed, but everyone knows that if these appropriation bills get through and arc sent to him he would not have the strength to decline to approve them on account of the extravagant appropria- tions they contain,
 Another leading feature of the mes sage was devoted to an argument in favor of ship subsidy bill The meas ure passed the Senate, but could not get

through the House in spite of the efforts of the President.
 Among other matters the President has gress are: International prize court, as- tablshment of American banks in for eign countries, rights of aliens, abolition of customs districts, banking and cur rency. the volunteer bill, organization, mobilization and administration of reg ular army, Notifications at Corregidor and Pearl Harbor, Porto Rican legis,a- tion tolls of the canal prohibiting in- terstate commerce railroads from own ing CT controlling ships engaged in ca nal trade, incorporation of industrial and other companies engaged in interstate commerce. payment of claims found due by court of claims, reforms in judicial proeecnrs. regulating the Issuing of in- iaEctiassa placing presidential postlnas- ters under civil service, abuse of frank ing privilege, inadequacy of postal rate, parcels post, administration of navy and marine corps. abandonment of useless navy yards. permanency of naval sup ply fund, naval station at Guantanamo. appeals to courts in land cases. repeal of limitation on executive concerning reservation of forest lands. leasing of public coal deposits, phosphate lands, oil or gas, waterpower sites, commission to govern Alaska. construction of railroads in Alaska, immigration legislation. crea- ton of general bureau of health. changes in government of District of Columbia, Freednens bank payments, negro expo sition appropriation, civil service retire. ment legislation. amendments to the in terstate commerce laws relative to valua- tion of railroads safety appliances. fraudulent bills of lading. bureau for na- tional parks.

 ROBIN LOOKED FOR

New York, March 2.-Following his plea of guilty to the charge of stealing |$27,000 from the Washington Savings hank just after jury had been se- lected for his trial, Joseph G. Robin has been in conference for the greater part of the last "A hours with Assistant District Attorney Clark. It is believed the assistant prosecutor was, securing information concerning the other f. nanclal institutions crippled by Robins operations in search of any accomplices whom the fallen banker might have had.
 The fact that MT. Clark has had par ticular charge of the investigation of the affairs of the Carnegie Trust com pany which was closed February 1 by order of the state banking examiner leads to the belief that his confer ences with Robin has to do with the affairs of that company.
 Although Robin declared in court yesterday that he was not and had never been insane the alienists who examined him fortnight ago find ir this turn of the case only another proof that he is a paranoac. Accord

 Rome, March 1.-The vatican considers the new French cabinet as purely a combes organization. It was during the incumbency of that Combes as premier with M. Delcasse as foreign minister that the rupture of diplomatic relations between the French government and the vatican occurred. The vatican now fore sees a new period of trough persecution of the church and the triumph of dema- gogy," which it believes will compromise the highest interests of !he republic. The holy see further expresses itself as glad for the reserve which it maintained to- ward Premier Briand, in the knowledge that his position was not so strong as it appeared and that the real masters ol the situation were the extremists, who aimed to overturn the religious, social and economic life of the country.

 COAL OPERATORS OBJECT TO RATES

Louisville, March 2.-A movement was here today by the Western Kentucky Coal Operators association to get equitable freight rates on the Illi- nois Central and Louisville and Nash vile railroads for coal in transit to Memphis and points west of there.
 The meeting was held to organize re- sistance to an increase of 10 cents a ton on coal to points mentioned from the western Kentucky field. No rise was made on coal from the Belleville and Indiana districts to Tennessee.
 The western Kentucky coal operators say that on account of their geographs- cal position they should be entitled to better rates than the coal fields of h. diana and Illinois because the haul from these districts to Memphis is longer than the Kentucky- Memphis route.

 After Cox was indicted, in a petition to unseat Judge German he charged that official with being biased Judge Charles J. Hunt thinks this matter should be heard before him and has set the case for tomorrow morning. Judge Cor man thinks he should hear 1t and has set the case for Saturday morning.

 PREFERRED NO CHARGES

In telephone communication to The Age-Herald last night John W. Altman, who is in Mont gomery leading the fight against the appointment of liar ry Jones as commissioner, said:
 "The report that I have pre- ferred charges with the gov ernor against Harry Jones is untrue.
 Several nights ago Alderman Huddleston in conversation with the governor made some state ments concerning Mir. Jones which the governor requested him to rednce to writing.
 "In letter to me received to- day MT. Huddleston. inclosed a letter addressed to the governor which letter contained the re- marks MT. Huddleston made to the governor. No formal charges were preferred and. in my opin- ion. will not be.
 "I have no charges against MT. Jones. I believe him good man. but do not consider him the man to serve on the Bir- mingham commission. The re- port that had preferred charges does me an injustice"
 Mir. Altman stated that in his opinion the chances are against MT. Jones receiving the ap- pointment.
