JAPAN To Aid Ships
Using PANAMA CANAL
Government Will Grant Subsidy to
Company for Service to At
lantic Coast.
OTHERS AFTER THE PRIVILEGE

In the light of the present struggle in
the House over the bill to repeal the ex-
emption clause Of the Panama Canal act
recent disclosures of the manner in
which the japanese government is plan
ming to aid its vessels using the canal is
regarded by officials here as OF consid-
cradle interest.
Information has reached here TO the
effect that the Japanese government con-
templates the granting of a considerable
subsidy to the Nippon Yusen Kaisha,
one of the several great steamship COM
panies OF Japan, to be applied to the
support of a new line Of vessels. which
will pass through the Panama Canal
The steamship company contemplates a
service from Japanese ports to the Gulf
and Atlantic coasts of the United States
not now reached by the japanese line.
This company is understood to be plan
ming the abandonment of its present line
Of steamers between Japan and Seattle.
Wash, simultaneously with the begin
ming of its service through the Panama
Canal 1t is said that rwo other Japan
ese companies, the Toyo Kisen Kaisha
and the Osaka Shosen Kaisha, were COM
petitors of the Nippon line in endeavor-
ing to secure the promise of the proposed
subsidy for service through the Panama
Canal.
or these two companies, the former will
be hard hit by the subsidiZation of the
Nippon company. as it is now serving
parallel route in the Pacific, running to
Hawaii, Mexico, and Panama The other
company will benefit, however, because
the withdraw wal of the Nippon company
from the Seattle line will leave the Osaka
line with practically a monopoly on this
route, so far as Japanese steamers are
concerned.

SENATOR LEWIS LAYS BARE
REASON FOR REPEAL OF. TOLLS

Senator James Hamilton Lewis, Of
Illinois, was the feature OF the Senate
debate on Canal tolls yesterday. He al
most startled his colleagues when he de-
clared that the reason the President was
so anxious to settle the tolls controversy
in a way satisfactory to Great Britain
was to prevent the occupation of Mexico
by England, Germany and France. The
Senator went further and predicted that
in case such a thing came to pass Rus
sia would seize Alaska and Japan would
take the Philippines and Hawaii and at
tack the Pacific Coast.
Fourteen times In our history has our
mere word been enough to bring order
out of chaos in Mexico" said Senator
Lewis, but now what is the condition
Suppose that at length England. Ger

tect their property there, denying this

at present has not even a treaty with
this country, but which has an offensive
and defensive alliance with its one-time
enemy, Japan. would seize Alaska.
Oners His resolution.
Senator Lewis addressed the Senate in
support of a resolution to give the Presi-
dent authority to suspend tolls against
ships passing through the Canal when
ever in his judgment the public welfare
demands it.
Senator GaIlinger. of New Hampshire,
followed Mr.. Lewis. Senator Fall, OF
New Mexico. introduced a new feature
by proposing a bill providing that no
tolls should be levied upon vessels en-
gagged in the coastwise trade OF the
United States, nor upon vessels belong
ing to citizens of any country upon this
continent and engaged solely in trade
between ports Of North and South Amer
lea, or both.
Senator Thomas. of Colorado, introduced
a bill exempting all shipping from tolls.
Senator owen predicted yesterday that
the debate on tolls in the Senate would
not last more than two weeks. Other
Senators. especially those who are OPP
posed to repeating the tolls exemption
legislation. say six weeks will be neces-
sary to conclude the discussion. Sena-
tor O'Gorman said that nothing would be
done by the Senate committee Of which
he is chairman until after the House has

HOUSE RESTS ON ITS OARS
WAITING FOR FINAL DASH

The House yesterday INDUCED in what
both sides of the free tolls repeal con-
tention acknowledged was an armistice
in the debate over the Sims bill. There
was apparent reluctance on the part of
the leaders of either side to engage in
the forensic battle. All were saving
themselves for the final days clash.
Nearly thirty members of the House
spoke in the course of the days debate.
Only two of these speeches came from
real leaders upon either side. These were
the addresses of Representatives Do
remus, of Michigan. a Democrat, leader
of the Democrats opposing the repeal,
and Lenroot. of Wisconsin. Republican.
who favors the Presidents contention.
The opening speech was delivered by
Representative L'Engle, of Florida, a
Democrat. Mr.. L'Engle. who Is a cripple,
occupied an invalid's roller chair in the
well of the House. He launched a bitter
attack against repeal. particularly along
the ground of an alleged yielding to
British influences.
Representative Doremus, who followed,
read an exhaustive speech, in which he
argued against the administrators in
depreciation of the Hay-Pauncefote treaty
and previous international conventions
dealing with the situation in the Isthmus.
Further, he urged upon Congress the
necessity LOT the VI lOllS lOT
American coastwise shipping for the pur-
pose of greater acknowledgement to our own
transcontinental rates.
LcnrOot Is APplauded.
Representative Lenroot. of Wisconsin, n
Republican, summarized the position of
the Republicans who are supporting the
President in the present fight He said
that regardless of every economic con-
sideration. the international problem, the
honor of the United States, was the thing
at stake. According to Mr.. Lenroot there
could be but one Interpretation of the
Hay-Pauncefote Treaty, and that was
that the United States was obligated to
maintain the canal on equal terms to all
without discrimination even in favor of
its own coastwise trade. Mr. Lenroot
was warmly applauded on both sides of
the chamber.

represents the Congressional district of
New Jersey, in which Princeton is sit
uated, arose to the defense of the po-

the uncontested awards. Representative
johnson has been busy trying to have
the Post resolution amended In such
way as to give him (Mr. Johnson) the

the power to have written into the reso-
luton the names of those property own

Briefly condensed. Representative John
sons claim, which, tits understood. was
responsible for the Presidents veto of
the awards. is based upon the suspicion
that before the bill was introduced in
1903 real estate men had bottled up the
properties by taking options on them.
When the property owners became
aware Of Mr. Johnson's suspicious they
gathered at secret indignation meetings,
