Washington, Aug. 2o.--The first at
tempt of the senate to debate tho
Works resolution for a single six wear

another open discussion of the poll
tical situation. Senator Cummins
made the chief speech in support OF
the resolution but it was interpolated
with d running fire of comment from
proGressives republicans and dem

brief debate became an issue between
Senator Borah of idaho. republican
and Senator Williams of Mississippi

Roosevelt or Governor Wilson had
been guilty of greater indiscretinn in
use of language in their writings of
recent years.
Senator Borah read from one of
Governor Wilson's works to sh"W
that the democratic candidate had
favored long tenure of the presiden-
tial office.
THE governor has endorsed the

Williams. democrat.
"He may yield to his platform. hut

points in Iowa, Minnesota and South

1t was this story of Schepps which

Philadelphia Amazed to Find
Councilman a Former Convict

Philadelphia. Aug. 2O-William
Burke. leading ref6 rm councilman of
Philadelphia. and Benjamin Tripp
who served seven years in the Charles
town, Mass, prison, are one and the
same man. Every particular of the
Gilman Burke when he resigned from
councils two days ago, and disappear
ed because one of his old prison pals"
had foun1 him out, has been verified.
There are but two things left. the
l first to find Burke, as his friends are
Nhfdeavoring to do. to force him to
c bme back, face the jeers of his ene-
his friends. and the second to find
the convict who bled Burke till he
didn't have a cent in the world and
rather than again turn thief confessed
and placed the rest of the inhabitants
he knew when member of the under
world himself. where they no longer
may bleed him because Of the prison
blot on his record.
The absolute veriflcation Of Burke's
confession came yesterday afternoon
when a picture Of the convict, Benja-
min Tripp, was received by Captain
Cameron of the detective bureau. AL
though taken sixteen years ago. there
was no mistaking the features. 1t was
the man nearly all Of Philadelphia
knew as William Burke.
Burke Entirely Broke.
When Burke made his confession he
was an absolute bankrupt The money
he got from local newspaper was the
orly apparent thing between him and
starvation. He took the money and
disappeared and today his friends are
unable to reach him.
Mayor Rudolph Blankenburg, when
ne telegraphed from Pocono last night
that Burke should be given the "hclp-
ing hand" started the ball that has
gathered a mass of sympathy on it's
travels. Today everybody seems to be
getting into lire with the mayor and
on every side there is an insistant de-
mand that Burke be allowed to re-
main in councils and represent his
ward 70 the best of his ability.

New Canal Bill Proposed By
President is Under Consideration

Washington. Aug 20.-Prosidenr
Taft spent yesterday in conferences
on the Panama canal bill with spe-
cial message TO congress suggesting
the passage of legislation which would
permit American ships to travel the
canal toll free and which would also
allow foreign nations TO test the le-
galty of this provision by suits in
United States courts.
The president discussed the mes
sage with senators and members of
the house and its wording was 1:l;.lly
decided upon at meeting of The ca' j.
net which began at luncheon time and
lasted until late in the afternoon. The
message was read in congress socn
committees of both houses
1t was the belief here that u de-
termined effort will be made to meet
the presidents wishes, although some
leaders. particularly in the mouse.
were inclined to believe that the mos
sage meant no further action in re-
gard tc the canal at the present ses-
sion.
MIR. Taft explained that he was anx-
ious to sign the present bill but wish
ed to assure other governments uf the
spirit of fairness on the part of the
United States.
The president was told that an act
of congress would have the effect of
abrogating any treaty previously
agreed to and the decision of the su-
preme court over the Chinese exclu-
sion act was given as authority for
the statement. His suggestion to
congress for additional legislation de-
signed to prevent any such construc-
tion as that of the supreme court in
the Chinese case would allow foreign
ers to try their cases in the United
States courts. 1t reads as follows:
That nothing contained ir the act
entitled an act to provide for the
opening. maintenance. protection AMI
operation of the Panama canal and
the sanitation and government of the
canal zone shall be deemed to repeal
any provision Of the Hay-Pauncefote
treaty. or tc affect the judicial con-
struction thereof or in any wise to
