President Has New
Defense for Repeal.

WASHINGTON, Marcn S0-Presi-
dent Wilson is certain that the tolls
repeal debate will not split the Demo
cratic party and that his fight for the
repeal will not be defeated
He stated to-day that his chief re-
greet in connection with the debate
was that what promised to be dig
niied contest had degenerated into an
attempt to discredit the Administra
ton. He characterized Representa-
tive Knowland's speech, in which It
was charged that the President had
made a deal with the British Govern
ment as the browning insult Of a
number Of insults in the debate. All
Of the acgimony shown against the
Administration only makes more GER
tain the result, the President declared
to his callers.
The Chief Executive to day also
took new ground in advocating a pol
icy which his advocates say is in
violation Of the Baltimore platform.
The President points out that the Bal
timore platform contained two pIanks,
one Of them feiterating the long
standing principle Of the Democratic
party against ship subsidies or sub
sides of any sort, and the other af-
1rming the tolls exemption policy.
The President declared there was no
question in his mind that free tolls is
a subsidy of the clearest type, and
that, therefore. II violates not only a
plank in the Baltimore platform,
which takes precedence over the
other but a well established Demo
cratic policy
One Of the proofs Of where the
Democratic party really stood on the
question of tolls lies in the fact that
a majority of the Democrats in the
House voted against the tolls ex-
emption bill when IL was passed orig
inally the President said

the advantage of that friend ship lies
with Great Britain. Great Britain Is

Representative Doremus declared
that IS soon as the Panama law was
passed sentiment against the exemp-
ton Of American ships from tolls was
manufactured through the country.
The Carnegie Peace Endowment
was also attacked by the Michigan
Congressman.
"A representative OF this institu-
ton has testified before the Senate
Lobby Investigation Committee that
it was the business of the associa =

nifty and honor of the United States.

efforts by vigorously UNFOLDING the
British view"
Representative Mondell, Republican,
of Wyoming. said while he believed
that the free tolls policy is economi-
cally unWse, he could not vote for
the repeal under the conditions cree
ated by the Presidents demand.

ment great or small, with which we

Representative Montague of Vir-
ginia, an Administration supporter,
referring to the Baltimore platform,
declared in favor of tolls He said
Platform Conflicting.
The platform is conflicting. In one
plank We declare against subsidies
and in another plank we declare in
favor Of this free tolls subsidy. it
then deyolves upon us TO take one or
the other plank. AS for myself, l pre-
fer to accept the time honored Demo-
cratic doctrine against subsidies of all
kinds. In addition it is indisputable
that the free tolls clause is in viola
ton of our solemn treaty obligation,

shown the slightest signs OF German
measles. and it is not believed that the
disease was contracted from the Wash

The talk Of quarantine for the ball club
is foolish. for the sick man at his stage
could not possibly have transferred the
disease to the players had any of them
been near enough TO him to get it.
Providence fans who watched today s
