Just When It Seemed Meas ure Was About to Be Put to Test An Arbitration Resolution Is Reported SAY PRESIDENT
 IS OPPOSED During Debate Senator Vardaman Makes Impas- stoned Speech Criticizing Wilson's Position in the Canal Dispute
rAssocrArEn PRESS prspArcHl

WASHINGTON, June 3.-Just when vote on the Panama canal tolls exemption repeal bill seemed certain to come within few days, the sen- ate foreign relations committee com plicated the situation by reporting favorabfy resolution designed to lead to the submission of the dispute with Great Britain to the orbItra- tion of an international tribunal. There was no discussion of the re- solution. but it will be taken up be- fore vote is reached on the repeal bill itself and it's appearance before the senate undoubtedly will lead to further debate.
 So far as the administration lead CTS know. the president is opposed to arbitration unless the tolls bill pre- viously is passed. It is believed by many senators that without the presi- dents approval no arbitration pro- posal can receive majority.
 During the debate today Senator Vardaman, vigorous opponent of the repeal. made an impassioned speech criticizing the presidents position and attacking Senator Root, one of the leaders of the opposition.
 The Sutherland resolution provides for arbitration of differences that have arisen between the United States and Great Britain under the Hay-Pauncefote treaty, fin the mat ter of the payment of tolls which may be exacted for the use of the Panama canal" It was proposed un- der the general arbitration treaty between the two countries which provides for arbitration of disputes not affecting national honor. inde- pendence or vital interest. at The Hague or by special tribunal The resolution proposes that the president be requested to open diplomatic negotiations with Great Britain with a view of making a spe- cial agreement for an impartial in- ternational tribunal for aribtration, and for the submission to it of the differences between the countries i The passage of this resolution would require only a majority in the sen ate, but to ratify the special agree ment for the court would require a | two-thirds vote of the senate. Even senators who favor arbitration have declared that it would be impossible to obtain the votes to ratify this i agreement
 The senate quickened it's pace to- i day on the repeal bill and spent most of the seven hours it was in session in debate. If the leaders carry out | their plan to keep the mea sure con-
 stantly before the senate, even the arbitration resolution may not delay the vote longer than next week
 Senator Vardamans speech attract ed much attention and part of it was
 heard by a score of members of the
 house. He criticised President Will

BUYS TROLLEYS AS AN INCREASE

Directors of New Haven Say Road Made Purchases of Electric Lines As Part of Extension Plans
ASSOCIATED PRESS DIspArcH1

WASHINGTON, June 3.-James s. Elton and William Skinner, directors of the New Haven railway, testifying before the interstate commerce com mission at the investigation into the af- fairs of the road, said that the acqui sition of trolley lines in sections of New England, steamship lines and other properties at the cost of many millions, constituted a part of the New Haven's comprehensive plan to increase it's facilities
 Many properties were thus acquired, which it is stated, had only prospective value, the natural growth of New Eng land being taken into consideration by the directors
 Elton, questioned on this point by William Nelson Cromwell, counsel for several directors, said the purchase for S11,000,000 of the New York, West Chester and Boston road, the stock of which Former President Mellen of the New Haven testified was worth only ten cents a pound" was for the pur- pose of obtaining a foothold in the Me tropolitan district and obtaining great CT and better terminal facilities in New York
 Elton testified that the directors of the New Haven had changed their methods and now were not influenced so much by one or two men. like J. Pierpont Morgan or Mellen as they formerly were. He said, %zfe directors now direct and that they had learned a great many things He added that President Elliott was more deliberate than Mellen and did not rush them off their feet"
 Skinner said it was his belief that if things had been allowed to go on and the New Haven and it's officials had not been subjected to inimical in quiries and legislation the property would have pulled out all right. perhaps in five years"
 He asserted that Mellen could have retained the presidency of the road had he desired, as he had most of the di- rectors with him.
