TAFT LOSES OUT ON
 HIS PANAMA POLICY
SENATE COMMITTEE REFUSES HIS REQUEST FOR A JOINT
 RESOLUTION.

Washington, Aug. 20.-The Panama joint resolution asked for by Presi- dent Taft yesterday in a special mes sage to congress, to make clear the rights of foreign ships owners to car ry into American courts the question of free tolls in the Panama canal was turned down late today by the sen ate committee on interoceanic canals. By vote of to the committee de- termined not to report the resolution.
 This is taken by leaders to mean that there will be no resolution pa5s- ed supplementary to the Panama canal bill which now lies on the pres ident's table awaiting his signature.
 The resolution has not as yet been formally introduced in either house but the senate committee took a di- rect vote on the proposal as embodied in the presidents message,
 The request of the president was for a special law that would permit the United States courts to determine whether the Panama canal bill, in giving free tolls to American coas.- wise vessels, violated those sections of the Hay-Pauncefote treaty with Great Britain, which guarantee equal treatment to ships of all na ions
 All the democrats of the senate committee voted against the proposed resolution, with the exception of Sen ator Thornton of Louisiana. The vote stood
 For the esolution-Chairman Bran degee, Senators Perkins, Page, Jones, Townsend and Thornton.
 Against the resolution-Senators Borah, Crawford. Bristow, Simmons, Johnston of Alabama. Percy, Chiffon and O'Gorman.
 Those who voted against the reso- lution expressed the belief that the president would not veto the bill now before him, even if the supplementary resolution is not acted on by congress. This agreement was based on the statement in his message that he did not consider the bill a violation of treaty rights with other nations.
