FIRST BOUT
WILSON'S
On Repeal Bill, House Standing
by Him 247 to 161
Measure Now in Senate, Being Re-
ferred to InterOceanIc Ca
nal Committee.

Washington, Mar, 31.-Ihe adihii.b'
tration bill to repeal the provision Of
the Panama canal act which exempts
American vessels from the payment
Of tolls passed the house after one Of
the most remarkable legislative con.
tests on record. The vote on the bill
was 247 to 161, majority of Sc votes
in support of the personal plea Of the
president
Repeal Bill Referred to lnteroceanlo
Canal Committee.
Washington, April 1.-The tolls re-
peal bill reached the senate this after
noon and was referred at once to the
committee on interoceanic canals.
The administration leaders admit
that they are deeply concerned over
the situation in the senate. The
claim put forward by the presidents
friends is that they have a certain
majority Of two. This is admittedly
too close for comfort"
The key to the situation is held by
a small coterie of regular Republi-
cans. There was a suggestion in ad.
ministration circles that some of the
Republican senators will try to play
politics with the issue on the theory
that the defeat of repeal in the sen.
ate would greatly embarrass the adj
ministration and lead to split in the
Democratic party.
On the Democratic side the leading
opponents of repeal are Senators
O'Gorman, Chamberlain, Walsh,
Thomas, Ashurst, Ransdall, Varda.
man and MARITIME.
Opponents Of the repeal bill predict
that the struggle in the senate will
be drawn out for six weeks at least.

AUTO WHEEL DOES DAMAGE.
After Wrecking Kitchen It Sets House
on Fire,

South Norwalk, Conn.-The wheel of
a large automobile, said to have been
going a mile minute, went through
the pantry window of Mrs. Isabelle
Seymour's home here, sending dishes
in all directions. Then it entered the
kitchen, knocked the stove to pieces
and set the house on fire. Next it hit
the other side of the house, which
stopped it.
The wheel, which weighed more than
100 pounds, was broken from the au
tomobile of William Kicker of New
York as it was coming down steep
Armory hill.
The wheel gained momentum for
hundred feet or so, then knocked over
a fence at the side of the road and
went down a precipitous incline to
Mrs. Seymour's home.

PASSOVER AND EASTER.
Why II Is That They Do Not Always
Correspond.


Since the events of holy week and
the resurrection took place during the
Jewish passover it seems strange that
the celebration in the synagogues and
in Christian churches should not al
ways be at the same time. Some years
the times coincide, but they are often
a week apart The explanation Is that
the Jewish calendar, which dates from
the creation OF the world. Is regulated
by the rabbis Their system is based
on the lunar month. which Is often
nearly two days shorter than the
month of the Christian calendar. Cor
rections are made, but instead OF a
day such as Is added in leap year a
month is added, so that some Jewish
years consist of thirteen months As
Easter always falls on the first Sun
day following the full moon next after
March 21, this additional month in
certain years causes a variation be-
tween the passover and the Christian
Festival
