PENR0sE is CONFIDENT
Expects Reciprocity Bill to Pass and
Congress to Adjourn About Aug. l.
Root Amendment Debated,

Washington, June 26. Chairman
Pcnrose, OF the finance committee, to-
morrow will ask the senate to fix a
date to vote on the reciprocity bill and
TO name separate days for vote on the
farmers free list and wool bills. Tho
favorable action is unlikely 1t will test
the senate temper and probably pave
the way for longer sittings of the SEN
ate.
Canadian reciprocity was taken up
in the senate today within ten minutes
after the session convened, the Root
amendment being the special subject OF
consideration.
Senator Thornton, Of Louisiana. de-
nounced the measure on the ground
that it Disseminated against the agri-
cultural element. Admitting the proba-
bility Of the defeat Of the Root pro-
vision later in the day, Mr.. Thornton
still advocated 1t. He said he did not
want Canada to get the advantage that
would be given by the wood pulp pro-
vision as it stands.
Senator Clark, Of Wyoming, also ad-
vocated the Root amendment.
After a short talk with President
Taft today Senator Penrose said:
"The bill Will go thru without an
amendment and ! believe congress Will
adjourn about Aug. l."

"NesIect" Blamed For Result Of Pacific
Mercer Suit.

Washington, juno 26.--The demo-
cratic majority in the house Of repre-
sentatives may go after the depart
ment Of Justice as a result Of the de-
cision Of the United States circuit court
Of the Eighth district declaring legal
the merger Of the Southern Pacific and
Union Pacifis railroads.
Thomas c. Spelling. clerk OF the
committee investigating the department
Of justice, has brought to the attention
Of his democratic chiefs a statement
for the attorney general when occupy
ing the position OF a special attorney
Of the departm ment.
Mr.. Spelling predicted the failure OF
the government suit in consequence OF
what he termed "the ineNCusable neg
iect" Of the department officials to
name the Chicago & Alton railroad.
Illinois Central. and the Rock Island as
a connecting link between the Union
Pacific and Southern Pacific systems.
Mr.. Spclling's memorandum Is inter-
esting not only because of its criticism
Of the departments failure properly to
prepare its bill, but because OF what
he claims the decision of the court fore
casts. He also objects to the great ex-
pense to which the government has
which he predicted in advance might
be ineffective because OF defective
preparation
"rhe question OF whether the stock
and bond control in common by the
two lines constitutes 4 combination In
restraint OF interstate commerce." Mr..
Spelling said In 4 memorandum he has
prepared, will finally turn to the qucs-
ton Of whether the Southern Pacific
and the Union Pacific are competing
roads. Now 1t can not be denied that
they compete for Atlantic seaboard
business In general sense, Just as
every great system. either directly or
indirectly, completes with any other.
