PRESIDENT SIDES
WITH GREAT BRITAIN
Opposes Exemption Of Certain
Ships From Canal Tolls.

Washington, Jan. 28.-That Presi-
dent Wilson is opposed to the exemp-
ton of American coastwise ships from
Panama canal tolls was fatty assert
ed at the Capitol by those who know
what took place at the conference be
tween the president and the senate
foreign relations committee.
Senators who talked with the presi
dent said that Mr. Wilson fully ex
planned his position on the tolls ques
ton: that his views incline towar
the contentious of Great Britain an
that he would make public his atti
tude in the near future.
What the president may recommend
was not disclosed In reports of the
White House conference, but one way
would be to repeal the exemption pro
vision of the act
Another would be the passage ol
the Adams On resolution to suspend
for two years the operation of the ex
emption clause.
1t was said that the president wa.
not opposed to toll exemptions al
such, but that he was strongly of tht
opinion that they would be a dis
elimination which would not agree
with the provisions Of the Hay
Pauncefote treaty.

THIRD MONDAY IN JANUARY
Senator Shafroth Wants Inauguration
Day Changed.

Washington, Jan. Ex-senator Shat
roth of Colorado is pressing the SEN
ate judiciary committee for favorable
action on his resolution to amend the
constitution so as to make the date
of the convening of congress the first
Monday In January following the cleo
tion, instead of March 4, and to have
the term of the president begin the
third Monday in January instead of
March 4.
In a statement presented to the
committee the senator asserted that
the proposed change in the date of
the opening of congress would pre-
vent such a situation as arose in the
Hayes-Tilden controversy In 1876 by
making 1t impossible that a house
composed in part of members who
had not been reelected should decide
the election of president. Under
his plan tho newly elected representa-
tives would settle such an issue.

ting into operation on April / a per-
manent government for the Panama
canal zone and naming Colonel George
w. Goethals as the first civic gov
ernor
Secretary Garrison made the an
nouncement as he carried away the
executive orders from the White
House. He said Colonel Goethals had
not been officially informed but that
he would be as soon as his name was
sent to the senate.
Mr.. Garrison said the cabinet meet
ing was devoted largely to a discus
sion of the Panama canal government.
He added that the question of tolls
had not been discussed and that the
executive order merely made provi-
sion for the collection of such tolls as
were provided by law.
The permanent government of the
zone, headed by a civil governor,
eliminates the commission which is
now in charge.
Members if the commission are to
be retained, however, until the open
ing OF the canal, as a committee in
charge OF the arrangements for the
celebration incident to the opening,
though without any administrative
functions.
