Washington, ID. c.. March 31.-
The greatest crowd of recent years
Jammed the house galleries today for
the final debate in the Panama canal
tolls. The crowd waited for hours for
the debate to begin. Many brought
their lunch boxes, milk bottles and
pop" bottles.
Representative Humphrey of Wash
ington republican, denounced the
administration position as more con-
temptible than English language can
express" He declared the condition
had been caused by "egotistical blum
dering' of the administration on the
Mexican situation He lauded I'm
derwood and Speaker Clark. saying
that Clark. by every rule of fairness
and honor should be President to-
day" He said the administration
has been imposed on to carry out
an international confidence game by
which Japan and England hope to Sc
cure the use of the canal without
competition.
Republican Leader Mann declared
That the three duestfons fnvots-ed
were: Treaty rights. moral rights
apart from treaty constructions. and
the economic policy. He maintained
that no construction of the Hay
Pauncefoote treaty compelled the
United States to charge the same tolls
on its own ships as those of other
nations.
Replying at length to what was
called a 'scurrilous slanderous artl-
Gle in the New York World" Speaker
Clark said the charge that he was
swayed in his attitude by ship sub
t..fH hos q ND a
insinuation.'
"If any man believes that SANDER"
shouted the speaker. let him stand
here SO that he may seen by hundreds
of witnesses.
He declared:
Certain newspapers say l am op-
posing surrender to Great Britain,
as the opening gun of my campaign
for President in 1916. 1t may sur
prise these obsequious courtiers to
know that | have never limited to
any human being that | would be

He declared that he never bore any

that he did more to elect him than

He referred to the published re-

the case he declared that the trans
continental railroads would be the
chief beneficiaries of the repeal.

to extend their remarks in the Con-
