large to the convention from New
York, arrived here and Immediately
went into conference with Senator
Murray Crane of Massachusetts, Sen
ator Newell Sanders of Tennessee, La
fayette B. Gleason of New York and

probable Taft floor leader in the con
vention and there is said TO be likeli'
hood that he will take part in the de-
liberations OF the national committee
on the contested delegates. He de
clared that his principal business al

CRITICISES THE
SENATE COMBINE
Governor Of Minnesota Sends
Special Message to SOlOns,

ST. Paul. June 12.-Governor Eber-
hart executed a flank movement and
turned his batteries full upon Senator
o. A. Lende of Lyon county and then
proceeded to rake the so called sen
ate combine" for the decided stand it
has taken against reapportionment.
The governors attack was a counter
demonstration to the demand con-
tanned in Lende's resolution introduced
last week calling upon the executive
to furnish to the senate for its ap-
proval the list of the appointments he
had made since the adjournment OF
the regular session.
In a communication read before the
senate the governor called upon Sem
ator Lende to quit useless contro-
versies over political patronage" and
to devote his energies to the con-
sideration Of the constitutional rights
of the people"
The governor characterized the ac-
! ton of the senate combine" in de-
| feating legislative reapportionment as
"willful disregard of public duty.
He predicts that the attitude the SEN
ate has assumed will meet the severe
condemnation of all fair minded voters
of the state.
| The senate, by vote of As to g.
passed the house bill ratifying the
amendment to the federal constitution
providing for an income tax.

Senate Committee FavOrS
Closing Canal to Them.
ONE EXCEPTION IS MADE
Railroad Owned Vessels May Use Big
Ditch IL Engaged in Transoceanlc
Traffic, but a Strict Ban Is Provided
NJ coastwise Trade Is Their Line.

Washington, June 12.-The senate
committee on interoceanic canals
favorably reported the house bill to
open, protect and operate the Pana-
ma canal and to govern the canal
zone. The bill retains the house pro
vision exempting coastwise vessels
from canal tolls and embodies an
amendment strictly regulating rail
road owned vessels.
The senate amended the house bill
to provide that no ship owned, char
tered, operated or controlled by rail-
road, or in which any railroad had
any interest whatever through any
holding company, stockholders or di-
rectors In common or otherwise,
should be permitted to enter or pass
through the Panama canal if engaged
In the coastwise trade between the
United States ports.
Any ship of American registry, how
ever owned or controlled, would be
permitted to operate through the canal
in transoceanic trade up to and from
Oriental or European countries and on
| it's way might do a coastwise trade be-
| tween ports of the United States and
| intermediate foreign ports.
This privilege, however, would not
| be permitted to any ship owned OF
controlled wholly by any railroad, un
| less ii be in transoceanic trade. The
| coastwise trade to be allowed such
vessels will be strictly to or from
| transoceanic ports and not to ports
| of Canada, Mexico. or Central ant
South America.
The committee added additional re
strictions to protect coastwise traffi'
by requiring that a rainroad owned shil
passing through the canal must hay
at least SO per cent of it's cargo con
signed to transoceanic ports.

Chicago, June 12.--The Taft major
ity on the national Republican COM
