CHILDREN AFFECTED

TO PROTECT DITCH.
HOUSE DECIDES BY ovERwHELM-
ING VOTE TO FoRTlFY
PANAMA CANAL,
AID is GIVEN BY DEMOCRATS
twenty Republicans Refuse to sup
port Measure Providing for Bat
teries to Guard Big Waterway
Sentiment In Senate Is Favorable.

WaSh1ngtOn.-By an overwhelming
vote the house of representatives Sat
urday night appropriated $3,0OO.OOO to
begin work on the fertilization of the
Panama canal. The total cost of pro.
tecting the big waterway will be about
$12,OOO,OO0.
There is no doubt of the result in
the senate, where the sentiment is
said to be two to one in favor of pro-
tecting the waterway with land bat
teries.
The house disposed of the question
after nearly five hours of debate. The
real test came on an amendment pro-
posed by Representative Tawney of
Minnesota, chairman of the committee
on appropriations, providing that no
part of the 100000 should be used
until the president of the United
States had attempted to negotiate
treaties with all of the leading mari
time nations guaranteeing the neu-
trality and international protection of
the canal.
The Tawney amendment then was
voted down by 100 to GO. A motion
by Representative Keifer of Ohio to
strike out all provision for the fortifi-
cation OF the canal was lost by a vote
of 1876 to 81.
The real interest in the debate
seemed to center in the Tawney
amendment, and the speeches made
for and against 1t by Mr.. Tawney and
Mr.. Sherley.. Mr.. Tawney, stalwart
Republican, looked to the Democratic
side for sympathy and applause and
received both. Mr.. Sherley. one Of
the Democratic leaders of the house,
was accorded an ovation by the Re-
publican members. The detection Of
about twenty Republicans from the
general policy Of fertilization was of
set by similar detection on the Dem
ocratic side in favor of fertilization.
In passing the sundry civil bill car
rying approximately $14O,0OO,000, and.
Of which the canal fertilization pro
vision was the last feature to be con-
sidered, the house made new record.
Never before has this biggest of all
supply bills been put through in two
days without any sort of gag rule"
1t is taken as another evidence that
the house is doing all 1t can to avoid
an extra session.
