Washington, D. c., June 1.-THE
Panama tolls exemption repeal bill, re-
turned to the house today for action
on the Norris-Simmons compromise
amendment before going to President
Wilson for signature.
Chairman Adamson of the commerce
committee in charge Of the bill, NOV
ed that the house concur with the
amendments.
The repeal bill was passed by the
senate last night by vote of SO to 90
after bitter struggle following long
and heated debate. The bitterness was
mostly among the democratic sena-
tors, part of whom opposed the admin
istration forces who were fighting for
the passage of the act. Before Oil
was poured on the troubled waters
Senator Vardaman of Mississippi, and
Senator West Of Georgia, came near
to blows. Apparently only the inter
ference of Senator Ashurst and the
presence of the sergeant-at-arms pre-
vented physical encounter.
The trouble started after bitter ex-
change between Senator Vardaman
and Senator James who had vigorously
criticized the MISSISSIPPI senator ana
in turn had been told that he was not
stating the truth.

When Senator Vardaman sat down
Senator West took the floor and also

Senator Vardaman that those who vot-

treachery to the democratic party. He
referred to the charge that the Car
negie foundation had expended $4,000
to boost the repeal bill.
"Who knows added the Georgia
senator, "but what the shipping inter
ests have spent 100000 in order to de-
feat this bill"

Senator Vardaman.
