debate today on the Panama canal tolls

intended to get vote on the repeal bill
before adjournment tonight. II possible.
They intimated that a night session
would be held in order to complete the
bill. If 1t was found necessary. But
there were other senators who insisted
that it would be impossible to get to a
vote even If the Senate remained in ses-
sion until late tonight or early tomor-
row morning.
Senators La Toilette of Wisconsin,
Smith Of Michigan and MARITIME of New
Jersey will speak in opposition to the
bill, also.
No Reason for Delay.
Senator Simmons of North Carolina,
who has been acting as the marshal OF
the repeal forces, said today that he
saw no reason to put the vote over an
other day unless there was disposition
to filfbuster against the bill.
When the time comes to vote on the
bill and amendments Senator Simmons
will offer the compromise amendment
agreed upon by republicans and demo-
Gratis who are in favor of repeal for
one cause or another, in which 1t Is
specifically stated that the passage of
the repeal does not waive the right of
the United States to exempt Its mer-
chant vessels or government vessels
from the payment of tolls through the
canal.
Senator Simmons drafted the amend
ment and for a week has labored with
the other senators to get it accepted.
Senator Simmons Amendment.
He submitted 1t early last week to
Senator Norris of Nebraska. who has
favored repeal for economic reasons.
but who did not wish Great Britain to
think the United States was yielding
the right to exempt its ships should it
desire to do SO in the future, and to
other senators who felt the same way
about 1t.
The proposal that the tolls question
should be submitted to arbitration may
bob up during the day and prevent final
action on the bill, 1t was said.
Senator Poindexter declared in his ad-
dress that the vote on the repeal bill
would determine whether the United
States shall enjoy the benefits of its
own domestic commerce.

President UnfavorabIe to Pro-
posed Modification of Tolls
Exemption Repeal Bill.
MAY SIGN THE MEASURE
RATHER THAN MAKE FIGHT
Two Remaining Members Of Federal
Reserve Bank Board May Be
Named in Few Days.

In his conference with Washington
correspondents today. President Wilson
strongly intimated that the amendment
to the House bill for the repeal of the
Panama canal tolls act. agreed to by
Senate leaders. was not satisfactory.
but he did not commit himself as to
whether he would consent to have 1t
come to him in that shape. One of the
Presidents visitors called attention to
the Presidents original message. ask
ing that the repeal be ungrudgingiy
made. The President remembered his
use Of the word ''ungrudging." and in
dicated that if the Senate amendment
be attached to the House repeal bill
the action of Congress will not be un-
grudging. At the same time. the Presi-
dent admits that the amendment in no
way affects the force of the repeal OF
the tolls act. The only thing he 10 said
to be concerned about is hedging around
the repeal with claims as to the rights
of the United States which this country.
he thinks. is amply able to protect and
look after without any declaration, and
about which he does not think there
is the slightest question among for
eign nations.
The President, it is said, does not be-
lieve that any government on the face
of the earth would attempt in the fu-
does not have every sovereignty and
right over the canal. Therefore. why
the necessity to reserve" this right in
a bill merely repeating q tolls clause.
In view of the fact that the President
in no way regards the amendment as
vital or in any way affecting the aim
Of the administration, the conclusion
today was that the President will sign
the amended bill rather than make a
fight over it. His viewpoint, according
to his friends. is that the amended bill
is simply not satisfactory. and amounts
to making a slight concession to Great
Britain in a manner that lacks gen.
erosity at least.
1t was certain today that the President
will not ask his friends in the Senate to
defeat the amendment. and II he later
concludes to oppose the Amendment he
will do SO when the measure goes to con-
