President Taft Sends Message to
Congress Concerning Position
on Canal Matter.
ANXIOUS TO SIGN BILL
House Leaders Do Not Look With
Favor on Bill Of Character
Suggested by TAFT
Associated Press Dispatch.

Associated Press DispatCh.
Washington, Aug. 19.-President
Taft closed day OF conferences On
the Panama canal bill with special
message to Congress suggesting the
passage of legislation, which would
permit American ships TO travel the
American canal, tolls free, and also
would allow foreign nations to test
the legality of this provision By
suit in the United States courts,
It is the belief, here, that de-
termined effort would be made to
meet the Presidents wishes, al
though some leaders were inclined
to believe the message meant no fur
ther action regarding the canal at
the present session.
The President explained he was
anxious TO sign the present bill, but
of the spirit of fairness on the part
of the United States. Mr.. Taft was
told that an act of Congress would
have the effect of abrogating any
treaty previously agreed TO, and
that differences Of the Supreme
Court over the Chinese exclusion
act was given authority for the
statement, His suggestion to Con-
gress for additional legislation, de-
sired to prevent any such construc-
tions as mat of the Supreme Court
in the Chinese case, would allow
foreigners to try their cause in the
U. S. Supreme Court.
There is no disposition on the part
of the House leaders, SO far as they
would indicate tonight, to attempt
TO pass a resolution of the character
of that recommended by the Presi-
dent There was an informal con
ference between Sherley of Ken
lucky, who talked with the President
on the subject, and others who have
taken a prominent part in Panama
canal legislation in the House, and
the Senate, expressed that there
would be no further legislation, and
that If the President vetoed the bill,
the whole matter would 60 over to
the December session of Congress.

Associated Press Dispatch,

Washington, Aug, 19-The first
attempt of the Senate to debate the
Works resolution, for single six
year term for president and vice
president, plunged that body, today,
into another open discussion Of the

port of the resolution, but it was in,
terpolated with comments from
Progressives, Republicans and Dem

Before its conclusion the brief de-
bate became an issue between
Borah, of Idaho, Republican, and
Williams, Democrat, of Mississippi,
as to whether Col Roosevelt or Gov.
Wilson had been guilty of graver In
discretion in the use of language in
their writing of recent years.
Borah read from one of GOV.
Wilson's works to show that the
Democratic candidate has favored a
long tenure of presidential office.
Williams proposed a constitutional
amendment as a substitute for the
Works resolution limiting pre5i-
/ dent to two terms Of four ears each
He said this would be more in az

stitution.

vocated it while Senators Clapp,

FADS AND FASHIONS

New York, June 1.-the weather is
still raw and wintry but the shops ca
terfng to woman's fashion are antict-
pating the summer season by several
months and are Offering the most
charming and interesting display of
summer things. Conspicuous among the
summer things by their simplicity are
the linen frocks and suits. They fol
low TO a great extent the modes of the
past few months, yet there is much
that is new and interesting. Skirts are
decidedly longer and fuller. The XII
mono sleeve seems to be on the wane.
The waist line is about two inches
above normal and coats are cutaway
and belted in. Belts, particularly on
the linen dresses and suits. are wider.
The display of lingerie frocks and
materials in the fashionable shops is
particularly interesting and attrac-
tive just now and the variety shown Is
quite bewildering. New dotted Swisses
and batistes are wonderfully soft and
fine in character, and there are dotted
voiles and crepes which come with
beautiful border patterns. In making
up a bordered crepe or wolfe, the bor
der design is usually cut away from
the plain material and afterward join
ed to it as trimming by means of
K
At least one-third of the so-called
lingerie" models this season have
chiffon in their makeup. a fact which
precludes their ever visiting the friend
ly washtub. When chiffon is left out,
dark net Is sometimes introduced to
give the cachet of dark touch on the
otherwise light colored frock. Black
net yokes and frills are often seen on
otherwise white costumes, while some
very aristocratic lingerie frocks are
touched up with gray net.
Net is extravagantly popular this
season and many lingerie" frocks. as
they are called are made entirely of
net with trimmings of shadow or VAL
enciennes lace. Such frocks are ex-
quisitely dainty, but they are rather
fragile for out-of-door wear and will
never give the service that a lingerie
model of handsome embroidery and ba-
tiste or wolfe and heavier lace will give.
Most of the net frocks have ffounces on
the skirt and some OF them have as
many as four or five rows of fiounces.
Some of the net frocks are accompanied
by gay little taffeta wraps or coats
which add a dainty color touch when
accompanied by a hat in similar color.
Subtle and mysterious blues, pinks,
lavenders and corn colors. produced by
changeant weavings, are the fashion in
sashes at present and some of these
changeable taffeta ribbons are very ex-
pensive. because they are so much IN
demand.
After all, the simple taffeta dress
holds a gratifying promise for practical
women. 1t is excellent for cool days. for
afternoon. evening and for travelling
1t should be plain enough to show a
perfection of fit and give a background
on which a handsome piece of lace OIL
embroidery can be added. The most
