Lorimer began, ION the flimsiest pre-
text or on no pretext at all intend
to show that no vote to seat me was
influenced by fraud. This Is no Joke

ty on civilized Jurisprudence, "a mock
cry on Justice. 1t will be declara-
tion that the senate has decided TO

adopted the doctrine of recall as ad-
vocated by its arch champion"
The senate recessed late today till
tomorrow morning when Lorimer will
finish his speech and the vote will
probably be taken.

question of whether the United States

The question may 20 to The Has .

The American government tai y
the position that there is nothing in
the Hay-Faunceforte Treaty to pre-
vent this concession.
The diplomatic struggle was preci-
pitated today by a note read from
Mitchell Innes. of the British En-
bassy. 1t Is expected to be- fought
out along the following lines
Great Britain will take the posi-
tion that the Hay-Paunceforth provi-
tion that the Hay-Paunceforte provi-
In favor of the American vessels In
the conduct of the canal would OPP
crate against the provision of the
Panama Bill now pending before the
Senate
Great Britain's position will be
supported by lengthy argument
brought to Washington from London.
The United States will hold that
so long as all foreign ships are ac-
corded the same treatment, the Unit
ed States may pass her own ships free
or rebate the tolls charged them.

OF the House committe on foreign af-
fairs, in supporting the bill said:
II am surprised that the British
government now objects 10 the Unit

We will treat the objection with
the dignity II deserves The British
government should not complain n
no toll discrimination d made against
British ships In favor of those OF
some other nation. We have the
right under the treaty to charge OF
not charge tolls on our own ships"
Suffers position is supported by
Taft and Secretary Of War Stimson.
The State Department will prob
ably allow Congress to make a reply
to the British government when the
