FREQ passage OF American ships through
the canal.
Debate against the repeal was opened by
Mr. Underwood, who delivered carefully
prepared, detailed argument to show that
under tho various treaties tho United
States had the right to prescribe such
tolls rs It deemed necessary for vessels
using the canal.
The House cheered the majority leaders,
argument, based on the treaties between
America and Great Britain. IN which he
held that the United States has the SOW
ere'gn control Of the Canal Zone, and de-
clared that TO repeal the free tolls pro-
vision was TO surrender that right. Great
Britain. he said, could not properly con-
tend that the United States. under the
treaties, was not free to exempt its ships
from tolls if il saw fit

ing its spectacular fight over the meas
ure. At the conclusion Of a speech by
Senator owen upholGing the admlnistra-
ton in support of .he repeal bill, Sena-
tor James who is one Of the President
most ardent champions, crossed swords
with Senator O'Gorman. who is leading
the opposition I'm the tolls fight.
The Senator from Kentucky suggested
that Senator O'Gorman might be able to
explain how the plank approving the ex-
emption of tolls to coastwise vessels hap
pened to be inserted IN the Baltimore
platform.
Mr.. O'Gorman, evidently resenting the
charges OF Senator owen and regarding
the suggestion of Senator James as an
insinuaton that he might have conspired
TO insert the tolls plank in the platform,
retorted hotly that tho plank had been
thoroughly discussed by members OF the
committee which passed on the platform
before its adoption by the convention.
and that II had met with general appro-
val at the time.
~ was not done by stealth" the Sena-
tor declared TT was we'll understood"
Senator James. growing vehement, laid
at the door OF tho Senator from New
York the responsibility for the defeat OF
the legislation requiring the President TO
make public all recommendations in con-
nectIon with appointments OF United
States judges.
How did It come that the committee or
which he was a member defeated this
provision by striking it from the bill In
conference?" shouted Senator James.
Ibid the Senator from New York make
the motion to strike ii out?'
"Fabricaton," Says O'Gorman.
THAT is pure fabrication" retorted
Mr.. O'Gorman. There is not a basis OF
truth for the foundation Of that charge.
References TO the Baltimore platform,
which was discussed by MIR. Owen, were
made by Republicans TO the discontinue
Of tire Democrats. Senator Borah read
extracts from the Presidents campaign
speeches, I'm which the latter declared
that a platform was made to be carried
out.
"If the Baltimore platform is TO he
overlooked" said Mr.. Borah, there are
things uttered from numerous New Jer-
sey platforms which we might consider"
Another preliminary skirmish over the
tolls fight will he fought In the Senate
tomorrow over the resolutions offered by
Senator Lewis and Senator Gallinger.

Underwood Makes His Plea.

Mr.. Underwood who had been holding
a whispered conference with Speaker
Clark at the desk, returned to his seat
smiling, and Representative Campbell,
leading the fight on the rule for the Re-
publicans, surprised the House by yield
ing to the Democratic leader.
The House burst into cheers. which
continued vigorously for several moments
Mr.. Underwood made his plea for stand
ing bv the Democratic platform and con-
tended for the right OF the minority to
be heard and offer amendments. He
would agree TO n rule to make the bill In
order. he said, and added:
with the bill thus before the House
the gentleman in charge could at any
time move the previous question. and If
he had majority with him, could cut off
debate.
81 do not question your honesty, but YOU
are making n serious mistake II YOU adopt
this rule. and I would not he worthy OF
the commission you have given me as
your leader II did rot have the courage
TO stand here and tell you so"
Mr.. Underwood was cheered again as
he took his seat, and that seemingly
closed the debate against the rule.

Mr.. Adamson said:
"Who knows what the situation at this
time may be better than the President,
who is peculiarly charged under the
Constitution with responsibility for for

now not only fights the honest equality
and domestic economy of his people, but

UnderWood's Direct Attack.

Realizing the import of his words. Mr..
Underwood spoke with even more DELHI
Grafton than usual when he assailed the
rule. Later he argued eXhaustively against
repeal itself. In short, direct sentences
concerning the rule he said:
Il am opposed 10 this bill. For that
reason l am opposed 10 the rule for its
consideration. l regret that the bill
should be before this House. | hope It
will be defeated. But the President hav-
ing laid this important question before

WILSON WINS
FIRST TOLL FIGHT
Continued from first page.

It is believed that not even the speech
of Mr.. Clark, in conjunction with that
of Mr.. Underwood delivered this after
noon, can turn the tide. The President
has the upper hand and is carrying
forward the repeal battle lines largely
through the compelling force Of per-
sonal leadership. aided by the powerful
lines Of political patronage.
Advocates Of the repeal during the
stormy debate to-day frankly confessed
that the House ought to follow the
President, because he typified the party
and because he said that international
affairs demanded repeal.
Running through every speech in
favor Of the repeal was the idea that
this thing must be done because the
President wanted it. There was talk
of national honor" and "anti-ship
subsidy" but the speakers invariably
returned TO the theme that the success
of the Woodrow Wilson administration
behooved Democrats TO listen to the
call from the White House.
Both the Speaker and the majority
leader received remarkable demonstra-
lions, but the votes were against them.
They were obviously on the losing side.
Mr.. Underwood was the only member
Of the Alabama delegation who voted
against the rule. Missouri heretofore
faithful always to Champ Clark, was
to-day.

Police Continue Hunt
For Owner of Bloody
Vest in Island Park

Search was continued to-day by the
police department for the owner of
the bloody vest found on the Market
street bridge last night about $50
o'clock. While there were reports
that a man had been murdered and
his body thrown into the river, evil
dence in the hands of the police indi-
cate only a bloody battle.
During this, however, one man was
badly beaten up, apparently. Three
shots were fired from a revolver and
three men seen running up the island
toward the Market street bridge.

Marysville, July 23, threatens the own
er with dire vengeance unless he mar
ries a young girl in Marysville and

John T. Bretz, 522 Race street. saw
the fire flash when the first shot was
fired. Three men, one carrying a bag,
ran up the island toward Walnut
street a little later. Blood was spat-
tered all over the bridge railing. Colo
mel Hutchison with Detectives Ibach
and Murnane went over the ground
described by Bretz and which had also
been covered last night by Lieuten-
ant Warden and squad of patrolmen.

LITTLE DIFFERENCE
4. IN STEEL BUSINESS
July Output Slightly Better Than
June in Finished Steel; Other
Trades Slump

While admitting that business in
finished steel products is somewhat
better during July than in June, the
Iron Age, in it's current weekly sum
mary points out that conditions
throughout the steel trade is still away
below normal. Too much stress, it
says has been laid in news dispatches
on reported big orders pending in
locomotive and car business.
1t says:
Business in finished steel in July
has been somewhat larger. the Steel
Corporation reports, than in June. OF
Independent producers some have
done slightly better; others have found
little difference on the whole. The
Steel Corporation is now up to 70
per cent. in ingot production. An ad-
ditional Carrie furnace and one at
Duquesne have been blown in, and at
Youngstown Y one more Ohio furnace Is
to go in this week.
Railroads are now ordering out from
the mills all the rails they expect to
The Southern Railways order has
been increased and the total amounts
to 40,500 tons-29,000 tons to the
Tennessee Company, 5000 tons to the
Illinois Steel Company, 1000 tons to
the Cambria Steel Company, 1000
tons to the Pittsburg Steel Company
and 500 tons to the Carnegie Steel
Company.
Undue emphasis has been paid in
some reports on pending car and loco
motive business, as though it were
new. Practically nothing has been
mentioned in news dispatches that has
not been before the trade for some
time.
The Canadian rail mill at sault Ste
Marie underbid American mills on
5000 tons of rails for the Toledo, st.
Louis and Western, as recently report
ed, but only 1000 tons will be bought
now and they will probably go to a
Pittsburgh mill.
Foreign mills which set out to get
cotton tie busines by promising to go
under this years price of domestic
mills whatever it might be, have cut
a small figure in the trade. AS has
been seen in other steel lines, users
preferred to buy at home and the for
eign quotations did not cut deep
enough to draw the business away.
The market for seminnished steel
continues dropping. A sliding scale
contract for $4,000 tons of sheet bars,
1900 tons a month, has been closed.
Some business has been done at $3.50,
makers mill.
The Tata steel mill in India, that is
seeking to place an estimated surplus
of 10000 tons of rails in this country,
has received contract for 1000 tons
from the India State Railway.
Pig iron markets are more dis
couraging as to prices than as to vol
ume. An Indiana purchase of 5000
tons of basic brought close competi-
ton from Toledo, Detroit Columbus
and Chicago, which have equal
freight. The price was somewhat un-
der $13 at furnace. At Buffalo As, 900
tons of pig iron for the East River
tunnel segments was divided between
two furnaces"

Man Who Figured in

Columbia, S. c., July 2S.-Dr. j. H.
Mcintosh, who has figured in a po-
litical exchange with Governor Cole
Blease, was shot to-day by an un-
known assailant.
