 of Campaign.

CANAL OPENING
 MAY BE DELAYED
PRESIDENT FEARS HE WILL NOT BE ABLE TO KEEP PROMISES
 TO THE PEOPLE.
Unless Congress Fixes ToM Rate V May Be Necessary to Post
 pone the Opening.

Washington, D. C., July 31.-Unless congress takes action to provide for operation of the Panama canal at this session, President Taft and Secretary of War Stimson believe it will De practically impossible for army engi- neers to keep their promise and open the big ditch to the ships Of the world next year.
 According to information brought to the white house today, prospect or action by congress at this session IS growing dinner. The questions Of tolls and of railroad owned steamships have stirred up controversy in both houses, and today neither the presi- dent nor his secretary of war was hopeful of settling it.
 The Panama bill was put aside again in the senate today after Sen ator Brandgec, who is guiding 1t, stat ed that adjournment probably would be hastened if 1t were considered In the senate while the postoffice bill was in conference, but the only ray of comfort that filtered through to the white house was the news that Representative Adamson of Georgia, chairman of the house committee OH interstate commerce, was considering introducing a joint resolution proyid ing for the machinery of administra- | tion and operation of the canal. MT. 1 Adamson was understood to be ready to bring in such resolution when ever it became apparent there is no chance of compromise, and the two | houses become deadlocked over the other resolution.
 President Taft was much concern ed today over the prospect of a delay | in the opening of the canal
 In many speeches he has made | since he became president he has pre- dicted that the Atlantic and the Pa cific would be joined at Panama in 1913, and at one time the president believed he would be able to steam through the canal on the old battle ship Oregon when the formal opening was celebrated during his present 1 term in the white house. When he 1 broke ground at San Francisco last | October for the Panama Pacific ex-
 position, he practically promised to have the canal ready next year, spoke of the Oregon as the ship that shoulj first cleave its waters, and made 1t clear he would like to be on her bridge when the trip began.
 So far the president has refused to
 write special message to congress OF the subject. He told visitors re gently that he did not believe it was necessary for him further to advise congress of his position. Within the last few days, however members oi the house have notified him that they would oppose any legislation in re- gard to the Panama canal that did not settle all matters involved.
 Secretary Stimson has taken issue with the congressman, but the presi- dent has not made his attitude known It was said tonight he might decide to send in a special message.

NEW YORK, April 6.-Yale and Lehigh
universities have been admitted to the
Intercollegiate Wrestling association, ac-
cording to an announcement made at a
conference held in this city recently.
With the addition Of these two colleges
the league now consists Of six members.
The original colleges represented in the
intercollegiate association were Cornell,
Princeton, Pennsylvania and Columbia.
Yale had been In the league. but dropped
out. There was an attempt made by
the Ellis to get back last season. but
this did not go through, and they waited
until this season to Join. Lehigh is a
newcomer in the ranks OF the intercolie-
giate teams. and considerable interest
will be taken in the showing this college
makes next season. The Lehigh crap
piers have competed against the other
colleges represented in the league in dual
meets. but has not been q member Of the
association nor participated in the inter-
collegiates.
II was decided TO hold the intereolle-
giates next year at Cornell on March =

OXYGEN NOT A NATURAL AID
OTHERS ARE AGAINST IT'S USE
Members of Olympic Committee Say
They viii Vote Against Admin
istration of Oxygen at
Olympic Games.

NEW YORK, April 6-The open letter
sent out by Sir Edward Lancaster. the
English chemist, asking the managers OF
the Olympic games to allow athletes TO
use oxygen in their competitions. has
caused much discussion among American
chemists as well as athletes While all
declare that oxygen is not q drug, stimu-
liant or dope" the opinion is practically
unanimous that 1t is not q natural aid
for athletes in competition. Most an-
thorities here advise that the use OF II
be prohibited.
Among those who differ with the chem
lists and members of the Olympic commit
tee who say that oxygen should not be
allowed are a dozen or so Of our promi-
nent athletes. The latter claim they have
used it during competitions and found II
helped them in their efforts to win.
Other athletes, however. say they have
tried oxygen and found It retarded rather
than helped them in their efforts.
Lawson Robertson, trainer Of the Irish
American Athletic club. is an advocate or
the use OF oxygen. While an amateur
he used it Immediately before and dur
ing many competitions and since he be-
came a coach he has often given 1t to
his charges

who administered oxygen to Robertson
and several members of his team. says
that oxygen does not come under the
head Of anything that is prohibited In
athletic competitions.
ut is more OF a food than drug or
stimulant," said DR.. Atkinson last night.
Its immediate effect is upon the lungs
and 1t cures fatigue poisoning. which Is
brought about by too much exercise and
enables an athlete to do better work on
the track or field"
Melvin Sheppard, Harry Hilmsn. Abel
Kiviat, Jack Eller and Bob Eller are
some Of the other champions who have
used it. But they sayi they have had
enough Of II; that 1t made them III and
prevented rather than helped them In
their contests.
Among the prominent chemists that
say that oxygen is not drug or stimu-
liant is Prof. Charles Baskerville Of the
chemistry department Of the City coli
lege OF New York. But he agrees with
the members of the olympic committee
and says IT is not natural aid for
athletes in competition.
James i. Sullivan. Barlow S. Weeks,
Gustavus t. Kirby. A. H. Curtiss and

committee. say they will vote against the
use Of oxygen at the olympic games at
