cheers greeted the announcement or
this vote, and scarcely had it subsidized
when Representative O'Shaunessy OF
Rhode Island secured recognition and
presented the motion to recommit the

" Section 2-And Congress hereby
declares that in it's judgment the Unit
ed States which at enormous cost has
built up and fortified and owns the
canal without any expectation OF pc
cuniary profit to itself from its own
ership, and which has the duty and
expense of protecting the canal with
its troops and warship and by proper
sanction, may, as the owner and de-
fender of the canal, and by virtue OF
its rights of sovereignty rightfully
provide preferential tolls or no tolls for
its own war vessels adm for vessels OF
commerce belonging to it or with citl-
zens living its flag, so long as the con-
ditions and charges of traffic estab-
lished by it or vessels of foreign ma
tons are Just and equitable; and may
rightfully in time of war as we'll as IN
time of peace maintain it's army and
navy in the canal zone, including all
necessary warlike materials, both for
defence and offence; and may right
fully provide preferential tolls or no
tolls for the vessels of the Republic OF

This defeat marked the last rally of the

galleries of the House were preparing to
leave.
AS announced by the Speaker the re-
suit was: Ayes 246, nays 162. But re-

RAILROAD RATES

Portland, Me, March 31.-During
the day the Governor consulted with
Attorney General Scott Wilson with
a view to taking some legal action
to suspend the proposed increase in
rates, but the attorney general gave
it as his opinion that the only way the
matter could be reached would be by
complaint of citizens to the railroad
commission. The commissioners aft
er a hearing would have right to ad-
just the rates. An authorized repre-
sentative of the Maine Central Co.
said tonight that according to the last
report of the company the cost of OPP

road was $1.57 per train mile and the
revenue S1.4I per train mile. The

something be done to make the pas

med with disappointed hundreds. On
the floor nearly every member was in
| his seat. Even the Senate had ad-
| journed and scores of senators occu-
pied seats on the floor. 1t was rare
political stage setting that this throng
witnessed. Standing before them,
while Republican and Democratic
members cheered him to the echo, was
the silver haired speaker with deter
mined resolve on his countenance. Be
hind him, pounding for order, was Mr.,
Underwood. Even those Democrats
who had for the first time turned their
backs on their immediate leaders and
stood resolutely by President Wilson
throughout the fight, were impressed
at the scene.
At the outset Mr.. Clark read his ad-
dress, but soon he got into his old-time
oratorical swing and was hammering
home with sweeping gestures his deliber-
ately delivered words. When he praised
the patriotic motives of President Wilson
again he was interrupted by applause.
His emphatic declaration to those who
charged him with attempting to disrupt
the party, the wish was father to the
thought" not a member on the floor but
applauded him.
Does any man in this house believe
that the Democratic leaders are working
to split the Democracy" the Speaker
fairly shouted as he locke dinto the
faces of his colleagues. NO, no." was
the thunderous reply from every part
of the chamber.
The House listened attentively to the
Speakers argument against the tolls re-
peal and his eloquent appeal against
yielding anything to Great Britain.
I'VE built the Panama CANAL the
Speaker shouted in the climax of his
speech. I'VE built it on American soil
We have fortified it: we will control it
We built it primarily and almost en-
tirely for our own benefit and secondari-
ly for the worlds benefit l would rath-
er see the canal walled up than give
Great Britain control of it. ] had rather
see it filled up with granite bou,ders than
to yield one iota of control over il to any
foreign nation"
This was the signal for the opponents
of tolls repeal to open up their strongest
batteries of applause.
When he had finished he had defended
his position: praised the President whom
he opposed; expressed admiration of his
colleagues with whom he differed on this
question; chided those who had assaiIei
him and sugar-coated instead Of tarrins
the situation. As he walked from his
place the House arose en- masse-Demo-
Gratis, Republicans, Progressives alike
and cheered him. When order could be
restored, Representative Adamson took
the floor to close the long debate
Representative Adamson devoted him
self largely to a denuneiation of toll ex-
emption as an economic policy. character
izing it as a mock subsidy to special In

7=Day Pay Bill Is
Unconstitutional

Boston, March 31-Attorney General
Boynton today declared unconstitutional
a bill proposing that railroad employees
of several classes should have one days
rest in seven without loss of pay. In his
ruling he said.
IF it is intended to provide that the
employee shall receive seven days pay
for six days work. then this provision is
a violation of the liberties and privi-
leges of a citizen as an. interference with
the right to make reasonable and proper
contracts in conducting a legitimate bus
mess"
The attorney general held the same to
be true of a bill which would permit at
the request of an employee extra labor
for extra compensation. counting any Pc
Rod not less than two hours on Sunday
and legal holidays as whole day.

more or less directly connected with

properties, including Missouri Pacific,
but if the project now said to be un-

Bankers representing both the

dents Scalp with

Maine Republicans SOIidAgaInst
Repeal Of Free Tolls Law

Washington. p. &. March Si.-tSpe-
csan.-The long expected Democratic
breach has come. House Democrats
sre fighting one another tooth and
nsa Tie only surprise is that this
hss not happened before. Speaker
Clark who has been an idol of the
Maine Democracy. having spoken at
state conventions and appeared on the
stump in many campaigns there, is
openly fighting the President on the
canal tolls bill. Fer the time being
the President has defeated Speaker
Clark and the ,atter's followers in
the House. The President maintains
his leadership. But there is much bit
terness about it The Speaker and his
ally, William r. Hearst, are tremen-
dously against the administration.
They are fighting the President secret
Iy and openly, in any old way to cause
the President embarrassment.
This was to have been expected. The
Speaker has never forgotten how
roughly he was used by the Bryan and
Wilson forces at Baltimore. As mat
ter of forbearance, he abstained quite
a year from interfering or opposing
but his patience was exhausted and
he is now on record as to his real at
titude. Majority Leader Underwood is
also out of sorts with the President.
The Democratic leadership of the
House is thus decidedly hostile. Here
after whenever any question of party
policy is brought up there, the division
will be on Wilson adherents and Clark
adherents.
The Speaker must apparently fight
now for his own political existence
Hope of a Democratic House after
March A, 1915, seems to have gone
glin1mering, but if Democrats should
win the House there will be the pref
test contest. since the days when
Crisp and Mills deadlocked for the
Speakership, to determine whether
Speaker Clark shall be retained for a
third term. AS Mr. Underwood ex-
poets soon to be transferred to the
Senate, the question of his successor
will come up. Representative Claude
Kitchin of North Carolina, is entitled
to the place by seniority, but he stood
with Clark and his election as chair
man of ways and means win be resist
ed. So it is all along the lire. Gone
are Democratic claims to harmony.
Nothing is to be had now except after
a hot old Democratic fight.

Representative Peters of the Third
Maine district answered mo- on all
Democratic roll calls the other day
when the House was getting up the
repeal bill, which will make nugatory
a provision of Congress for exemption
of coastwise vessels from the payment
of canal tolls. Mr.. Peters voted
against closing debate on the special
rule and he also voted against limit
ing debate on the repeal bill itself.
In other words he took every opportun-
ity 20 show that he stoutly disapproves
of the Presidents policy in regard to
canal tolls. This was the attitude of
the other two Republican members of
the House from Maine-Representa
tives Kinds and Guernsey-and will
be the attitude of Senator Burleigh
whenever the tolls repeal bill gets TO
the North end of the Capitol for con-
sideradon.
Indeed this great issue under DEM
ocratic administration at Washington
is now clearly defined as far as Maine
is concerned. The Maine Republicans
believe in giving coastwise vessels,
many of which are built on the Maine
coast and ply from Maine ports, all
advantages which would accrue from
having the free use of the Panama
canal No matter of legislation at
Washington for many years has been
of so much import to ship building in
terests of the Pine Tree State. The
Maine Republicans in Congress have
accordingly showed that they favor
giving Maine ships an opportunity TO
command a good share of the trade
through the Panama canal and, as far
as can reasonably be, to eliminate the
competition of transcontinental rail-
roads against them.
Representative d. ]. McGillicuddy of
the Second district and the only DEM
ocrat in the House from Maine, voted
to sustain the President and to repeal
the exemption fer eoastwise shipping.
He went the whole distance and stood
with the President and the Democratic
party on every preliminary vote. Sem
ator johnson will doubtless do like
wise.
The Department of Agriculture, under
insistence by members of the Maine
delegation in Congress, has been con-
siderate of potato growers in Maine.
The arrangements for State inspection
of Maine potatoes are progressing sat
isfactorily. The Department is taking
steps constantly to protect the best in
terests of the Maine growers. Recently
bulletin was issued advising those
who purchase seed potatoes from
Aroostook county Ito accept only stock
delivered in the original bags bearing
the certificate of the Maine State De-
partment of Agriculture to the effect
that the potatoes are free from pow
derry scab."
