WILL NOT VETO
PANAMA BILL.
President viii Let the Measure go
Through Although Not to
His Liking.

UNITED Press Leased Wire Service.l
WASHINGTON Aug. 21.-Presi-
dent Taft will not veto the Panama
bill, 1t was learned ut the white house
today, although the measure is not en-
tirely to his liking.
The president thinks that congress
should have made it plain that the
Legislation Is not intended in any way
as a repeal of the Hay-Pauncefote
treaty. However, owing to the late
ness of the session and the fact that
there is pressing need for the Panama
bill to become law at once. SO that
the engineers can plan their operat-
ing organization, the president will
sign the bill, but will probably send
a message to congress pointing out
his objections.
The presidents decision to sign the
bill followed his learning that the
house would not accept his plan to
pass an amendment giving foreign
nations authority to appeal to the su
preme court from the free tolls pro
/ vision.
Representative Adamson who had
charge of the bill in the house de
clared this afternoon that 1T was an
| idle dream" to think that the house
would agree to such proposition.
