Presses Exemption Repeal
in Conferences With
Members of Congress.
UNDERWOOD Is IN LINE
House Leader, Though Yet 0p-
posed, Will Not Organize
Against President.

Washington. ID. c., Feb. 19.-Presi-
dent Wilson pressed further for the
repeal of the exemption clause in the
I Panama tolls act in conferences with
congressman today. Senator Kern,
majority leader. after a talk with the
president, said the house would first
dispose of arbitration treaties and
then would probably take up the tolls
question. House leaders desire some
announcement by the president before
reversing themselves on the tolls mat
ter. They wish to make plain to their
constituents that in international as
poets the question necessitated a
change. II is understood Representa-
tive Underwood will not organize oppo-
sition to the president in the house.
though he still believes in tolls ex-
emption.
Accusing President Wilson of in
consistency in his views OF the bind
ing effect OF the democratic platform
and charging that greed OF the rail-
roads and the audacious claims of
Great Britain seem far more potent
with our president than the appeal OF
the womanhood of the nation, Senator
Bristow. republican, of Kansas, turned
discussion of woman suffrage in the
senate into a vigorous debate on the
proposed repeal of the free tolls pro-
vision of the Panama cana act.
President Is Defended.
Senator Bristow's attack brought to
the defense of the president several
republican. as well as democratic
It served also as the
signal for opening the fight within the
democratic party against repeal of the
tolls extnptfon provision. Senator
Chamberlain of Oregon, democrat,
said he would not ''stultify himself by
telling his constituents that he had
not kept his Platform pledge on the
ground that he had told the president /
of the United States does not agree |
with me-"
Senator Bristow based his charge of
inconsistency against the president on /
the ground that he had told the SUI. ,
fragists he could not advocate their 1
cause because the democratic party .
had not expressed itself in the matter, I
while ne proposed that congress ,
should reverse itself on the tolls ques-
ton despite the fact that the party /
had indorsed it's action. /
To Resore Prestige.
In this connection the Kansas SEN
ator mentioned the reference in the
Baltimore platform favoring "a single
term" and asked whether
the president would interpret this
plank in harmony with his position as
to suffrage or to canal tolls.
When Senator Bristow said that the
rans-continental railroads had for
-ears been behind the fight against
tree tolls for American ships and in
timated that they hau influenced the
president. Senator Lodge of Massachu-
setts. republican member of the fee
eign relations committee, said the
president was actuated in his attitude
On the toll question solely by his de-
sire to restore the United States TO its
'ormer prestige among nations.

ALASKA RAIL BILL
PASSED BY HOUSE
Already Has Senate o. xvii
son Will Sign When Confer
ees Finish Work.

Washington, D. c., Feb. 19.-The ad
ministration Alaskan railroad bill au
thorizing the president to construct a
$35, 100000 railroad from Alaska's coast
10 its great goal fields was passed by
the house late yesterday by a vote OF
23O to 81.
A similar measure already has pass
ed the senate, and the bills VIII be
taken up at once in conference be
tween the two houses, with a view to
sending 1t quickly TO the president,
who has signified his intention of sign
ing it.
At the I1th hour, after sharp par
liamentary skirmish, the house elimin-
ated from the bill as reported by the
territories committee, a provision au-
thorizing a bond issue OF $35, 100000 to
finance the railroad and to be paid off
by the proceeds of government land
sales in Alaska. The senate bill pro-
vided for a S40,O00.0O0 bond issue.
Representative Fitzgerald of New
York led a fight which resulted in
striking out the entire bond provision
from the bill.
Under the amended measure the
project would be financed out of the
current funds in the treasury, the pres
Ident being limited $35.OOO.0OO and ST.
OO0. 900 being appropriated for imme-
diate expenses.
Congress would appropriate each
year the amount estimated to be nee
essary for the construction of the
road.
The bill provides for the construc-
tion of a road not to exceed 1000
miles, to be so located as to connect
one or more of the open Pacific ocean
harbors on the southern coast of Alas
ka with the navigable waters in the
interior of Alaska, and with a coal
field or fields yielding coal sufficient in
quality and quantity for naval use. so
as to best aid in the development of
the agricultural and mineral or other
resources in Alaska
The new project is to be the first
test in this country of government
of public utility. 1t is ex-
pected to open to the commerce of the
world great and rich resources that
until now have been for the most part
lying idle. II will AFFORD employment

struction and in its maintenance. 1t

The president is authorized if he
sees fit to permit the government rail-
road to be operated by contract or lease

company. This latter COM
