with ''the misrepresentation which the La
Toilette leaders have deliberately spread
concerning Mr. Roosevelt's honesty and
sincerity" and with the presence Of La
Toilette in the state. conducting his usual
destructive campaign in belittlement Of
the record of Mr.. Roosevelt" In spite of

CANAL. BILL REPORTED
Provision Barring Ships Owned
by Railroads Defended.
From The Tribune Bureau. !

Washington, March 1s-Chairman Adam
son of the Interstate and Foreign Com
merce Committee presented to the House to-
day the majority report on the bill provid-
ing for form OF government for the Pan
anna Canal. which contains drastic pro-
visions prohibiting the use OF the canal to
steamships owned or controlled by rail-
roads
The report upholds the propriety of lesis-
lating concerning coastwise traffic In the
canal bill. 1t says:
1t would not be fair 10 discriminate
which are important. The apprehension OF
railroad d-owned vessels driving competition
from the canal may or may not be exag-
gerated, but IL IL certain that the evil which
Is only anticipated there already exists In
the coastwise trade on both coasts, AZ well
as on our lakes and rivers, and the evil IL
prevalent and complained of.
The proper function of "A railroad corpora
tion is TO operate trains on It's tracks, not
10 occupy the waters with ships In mock
competition. In answering demands for the
exclusion of rairoad-owned ships from the
Panama Canal. which In this bill or any
other would amount simply to an amend
ment to the act TO regulate commerce. the
committee thinks II wise, Just and oppor-
tune to broaden the amendment so as to
serve the higher. wider. more pressing and
necessary service OF eNcluulHS lflt TdllTOduS
from operating the vessels In competition
with their tracks anywhere I'm the coastwise
trade generally or In the lakes and rivers.
The above analysis is In explanation OF
the section inserted in the bill at the elev-
enth hour. which provides that there shall
be an absolute divorce between railroads
and steam lines engaged In the cosstwise
or interior trade In which the railroad COM
petes or may compete
