Washington, March 5.-The presi.

reason for asking for the repeal be.

f0te treaty. He further asked 1t In
support of the administrations gen.

That the presidents request will be
granted seemed assured tonight, de-
spite the fact that there will be Wig
orous opposition to the repeal in both
houses. Initiative action Will be tax.

stated tonight that this committee

mittee. introduced an amendment to-
the canal act giving the president a'l-.
thority to make or suspend the tolls
by proclamation and prescribe tolls
In cases exempted.
Aside from bearing his message on
the tolls question, some phrases used
by the president attracted widespread
comment among the congressional
citicle, as related to foreign rcla-
tions generally. Later the president
explained these phrases had no sig.
nificance beyond bearing on the need
of a rigorous good faith lii the tolls
question as evidence of unwavering
good faith on all other questions;
and nothing critical pending in for
eign relations.
When the house interstate com.

to fayorably report the Sims bill to
repeal the exemption cause. On the
senate side, a bill for that purpose
was introduced last year by Root.

"a Washington, March 5.--Defense OF
the Chicago board of trade and the
Minnaapoli iSs selaInbe of commerce
against the charges that they are
tools OF a combination arbitrarily con.
trolling the price of wheat in the
United States has begun before the
house rules committee.
Henry Robbins, counsel for the
Chicago board, told the committee
the organizations could not be involv-
ed in any grain monopoly because
they had not engaged as organizations
in commercial enterprises. He de.
clared the exchanges merely provid-
ed places and means of trading, but
took no part in the deals.
Robbins argued congress had no
power to conduct all investigation
proposed in Manahan's pending res.
OlutiOn to gather information on
which prosecutions under the Sher.
man law by the department Of justice
might be based. Ahe committee ex-
poets to close its hearings on the
Manahan resolution Saturday.
1t has been suggested that the In.
vestigation might be extended to in
clude New York and New Orleans

and Duluth organizations arc repre-
sented at the hearings. and they will
divide two and a half days allotted for
reply to the charges of the wheat
