DISAGREE ON PROCEDURE
Senator Bailey's Difference With
Champ Clark on Tariff Revision.

Senator Bailey in statement issued
last night declared that his differences
with Representative Champ Clark re-
lating to tariff revision concerned pro-
cedure only. and that he would not let
procedure interfere with progress.
The statement was issued following
interpretations of the results of speech
es at the Baltimore democratic con-
ference Tuesday.
1T is impossible for me 10 understand
how any man who knows anything
about the tariff question could imagine
that there is any radical difference be-
tween Mr.. Clark and myself" said Scn-
ator Bailey. He favors amending the
Payne-Aldrich tariff bill by schedules.
while I believe in replacing it from pre-
amble to conclusion.
But whether ii is better to revise
the tariff in my way or i'm the way
which Mr.. Clark proposes. the differ
ence between us is plainly and only
as to the method Of procedure. and L
hardly suppose that any man with sense
House or to the Senate would con-
template for a moment engaging In a
serious controversy with his democratic
brothers over snch question.
While T am tenacious-some people
think unreasonably so-in contending
for what consider a principle. would
not divide my party for moment over
a simple question of procedure. and if
the democrats of the House. in which
all tariff legislation must originate. de-
schedule by schedule. 1 shall certainly
interpose no objection which could
possibly interfere with the great work
we must do"

CANAL FORTS DEBATE
CAUSES TALK OF WAR
Gen. keifer and Representa-.

cuSSi0n in House.

The opening gun In the fight for the
Notification Of the Panama canal wa.
nred and war talk held full sway durins
the nrSt two hours Of the session of the
House OF Representatives today, although
the post Office appropriation bill ostensi.
bly, was under consideration.
Representative Keifer Of Ohio spoke fol
an hour In favor Of the naturalization oil
the canal. He was replied to by Repre-.
sentative Hobson OF Alabama. Both
speakers were literally applauded and /,
was evident that the question Of fortifi-
cation still IL an open one 30 far as the
House is concerned.
Gen. Keifer declared that the fortiflca.
tton OF the canal would be an act OF wal
and violation OF all the treaties affect
Ing tho waterway. -
Treaties Not Regarded.
Mr.. Hobson said that in the stress Of
war the stronger power always sets
treaties and International law at naught
Russia and Japan fought their way out
in the supposed neutral territory of Man
churia. and Japan annexed the supposed
neutral territory Of Korea.
Gen. Keifer declared that there could

necessary to keep a war force there a,
all times.
Mr.. Hobson said he could not under
stand how any American was willing to
say that this nation was too weak to
protect waterway which was wholly
an American proposition and which, II
neutralized, would lay the west coast OF
both north and south America at the
mercy Of European nations.
Vital to Country's Safety.
Mr.. Hobson said America might just
as we'll place the canal in the lap OF
European powers that never have recog-
nized the validity of the Monroe doctrine
He also declared that 1t would be just
as appropriate for America to ask Eu-
rope to protect the port OF New York as
to neutralize the Panama canal by treaty
In fact, he said, the protection of the
canal was far more vital to the entire
country than the protestion Of New York
