DEATH BLOW TO
COMMERCE BODY
Senate, SO to %, Votes to Ter
inmate Existence of Two
Year-Old Court.
TAFT VETO IS PROBABLE
Republican Progressives Join With
Democrats in . Decision to
Abolish Tribunal.

Washington, June 12.-Only the
signature of President Taft now is
required 10 abolish the commerce
court of the United States. The leg
islating out of existence of that tri-
bunal, created only two years ago,
and which the supreme court of the
United States recently declared had
exceeded its powers. finally and def
initely was determined upon Tues
day afternoon when the senate, by
vote of Sc to %, defeated an amend
ment to make provisions for main
tanning the court in the executive,
legislative and judicial appropriation
bill. BY this vote the senate reversed
its own appropriations committee
which had recommended the adop-
tion of the amendment. This put
both houses of congress in accord on
the matter of aholishing the court
There is a likelihood il was asserted
in official circles, that President Taft
would veto the bill because of the
courts elimination.
OF the votes cast in opposition to
the court, 90 were by democrats and
the remaining 10 by republicans. The
democratic vote in this column was
as follows:
DEMOCRATS AGAINST.
Ashurst, Bacon, Bryan, Chamber
lain, Chiffon, Culberson, Fletcher.
Gardner, Gore, Hitchcock, Johnson,
Johnston, Martin, MARITIME, Myers,
Overman, Percy, Pomerene, Rayner,
Reed, Shively, Simmons, Swanson,
Smith (Georgia), Tillman and Wat
son.
The republican negative vote was
cast in the main by progressives, but
Senators Nelson and Hepburn Joined
them in opposition. The progressive
republicans voting thus were:
Bouren, Bristow, Clapp, Craw-
ford, Cummins, Gronna, La Toilette
and Poindexter.
Senator Thornton of Louisiana,
was the only democrat who voted
for continuance of the court. The
% republicans voting IA support OF
the court we're.

The court is composed of five
judges who would be dispersed and
take up their duties as members OF
the various circuit courts of appeals
if they were not dropped out of office
altogether, as proposed by some sena-
tors. The courts elaborate quarters
here were furnished at considerable
expense. The cases heretofore pass
ed upon by the commerce court
which involved only litigation on ap-
peal from decisions of the interstate
