CONFERENCE MEASURE PASSED
Provides for Free Passage Of Amer

MATERIAL FREE TO THE ZONE
Railroad or Trust.0wned Ships Are
Excluded by Law.
LITTLE OPPOSITION COMES UP
Special Rule Prohibiting Points of
Order Prevents Moore and Oim-
stead from Renewing Attack
ON One Provision.

WASHINGTON. Aug, 1.-THE Panama
Of the senate and house was passed by
the house this evening, by a vice voce
vote. AS was expected. the BILL which
provides for the government and ad-
mlnistraton Of the canal, contains pro-
visions for the passage OF American

Ing material 10 the canal zone free of
duty The bill already has passed the
senate and 1t now goes TO the president
for his signature.
A special rule prohibiting points of
order against the measure prevented
Representatives Moore and olmstead OF
Pennsylvania. republicans. from renewing
their attack on the provision for the free
admission Of ship materials As re-
suit there was little opposition.
Mr.. Moore was taken severely to task
by Representative Alexander. chairman
OF the merchant marine committee, for
his allegations that the free admission
clause would injure American ship yards
and work hardship on American labor.
Mr.. Alexander held that with free
material shipping would be greatly
benefited and that such provision
would In no sense affect the labor situa-
tlon In American yards, He defended the
admission OF foreign build ships TO Amerl-
can registry on tho ground that American
shipyasds were not building vessels for
the foreign trade.
The exclusion Of railroad or trust
owned ships from using the canal in
the opinion Of Representative Sims OF
Tennessee. was worth all the labor and
time taken to mold the bill. He felt. he
said, that long .step, forward lad been
taken In the solution of the TRUST problem.

A slight Improvement following a re-
lapse yesterday was not noticeable yester-

seems to be matter OF only short

had chance of recovery.
The chief is suffering from diabetes,
