WILSON SURE OF
 REPEAL OF TOLLS
BaCkerS of President Also Con-
 fident of Success.
AMENDS BILL AFTER TALK.

House Committee on Interstate Com
 nerce Changes Repeal So as to
 Withdraw Discretionary Power Vest
 cd In Prasident-Break In Louisians
 Delegation Will Cause Split In Vote.
 Supporters of President Wilson In his efforts to have the Sims bill repeating the exemption clause in the Panama canal act passed are confident that they will succeed. It became known that there has been a break in the ranks of the Louisiana delegation which. it was believed, would stand to-ether in voting against the repeal of the free tolls provision.
 ! The first intimation of the break in the ranks of the delegation came after Representative ]. B. Aswell had had a conference with MT. Wilson. after which he announced he would vote as the president desired him to on the question of Panama canal tolls.
 It is the hope of those who favor the repeal of the tolls that the bill will be brought to the floor of the house. and it is not believed that there will be more than twelve hours of debate
 The house committee on interstate commerce met and amended the re- peal so as to add an additional para graph which withdraws the discre. tionary power vested in the president when levying tolls based on net reg. tstered tonnage to discriminate in ia. vor of vessels of American registry and owned by Americans.
 Charges that lobby is gathering al Washington to work against the repeal although not taken seriously by mem bers of congress generally, are never theless to be investigated by the sen ate lobby committee. which is still in existence.

 Whole Matter as Due to Misundsr-

 on Questions of Panama Canal and
 Monroe Doctrine.
 The complete text of the speech made In London by Walter Hines Page. Unit ed States ambassador to Great Britain, before the Association of Chambers of Commerce and the reports of which have created considerable agitation in certain quarters in this country. will reach the state department late this week.
 President Wilson told his callers that he and Secretary of State Bryan plan to send the text to the senate at once in response to the Chamberlain resolu- ton calling for an explanation of the address, und 1t Is the presidents be- lief that when that Is done Ambassa. dor Page will be cleared of the sus- picion of having said things that were uOL pTOpeTs a-..
 President Wilson regards the whole matter as due to a misunderstanding of what the ambassador really said on the questions of the Panama canal and tho Monroe doctrine. He already has heard from Mir. Page by cable, and the diplomat reiterates that be was not quoted rightly.
 As an instance it was declared that Ambassador Page said that President Wilson urged the repeal of the canal tolls exemption for American coast wise vessels mot merely to please England,' etc. MT. Page did not utter the word merely" in his talK
 Furthermore. it Is said that there are many other cases of that sort of mis- quotation which are expected to be corrected when the complete text of the address reaches Washington.
