Finds Solution of Issues
in Opening Panama Canal
to Commerce of the World

la support of his bill making the
Panama canal free to the vessels of all
the world. Senator Thomas of Colorado
democrat. an opponent OF the pending
repeal bill. today addressed the Senate
He said in part:
Apart from the diplomatic phase of
the tolls controversy. are those matters
affecting the accomplishment of the
primary purposes. to effect which. the
canal was constructed. solution of
all these matters will be found in OPEN

Men experienced in maritime affairs
assert that instead of encouraging the
canal will result in decadence of sea
carriage in sailing vessels and transfer
the business now conducted by them to
crafts propelled by machinery. The
steam tonnage by sea is now taxed to
it's fullest capacity. and the construc-
tion Of additional tonnage is essential
and especially those vessels which will
fly the national coiors. They cost more
to construct under our archaic naviga-
tion laws, and much more to operate
To do this. the canal should be made
free to commerce; otherwise il must

Compensation for Expenditures.
While We pay the interest on the bonds
and the cost of operation. the indirect
advantages will more than compensate
for the expenditures. Our system of coast
lights and buoys, the annual appropria-
uon for their care and operation. the ap-
propriation for the deepening of our har-
borS and rivers are free gift to the
worlds commerce.
The wisdom of these expenditures is
conceded. Opposition to free tolls for
: all will come from tn 'se maintaining

canal will pay sufficient traffic rates To
pay dividends, less cost Of operation
Because the vessels engaged in coast :

ANDREW CARNEGIE SAYS
SENATORS NEED PRAYER
Cheers Representative Vollmer. Who
Defends Vote for Tolls Ex-
emption Repeal.

Andrew Carnegie was an interested
spectator in the gallery of the House
chamber today. and he applauded Wig
exemption repeal bill made by Repre-
sentative Nollmer. the newest member
of the House.
Mr.. Nollmer rose to a question of per-
sonal privilege to denounce newspaper
articles which declared that he had
retired from the fight for renomina-
tion because of criticism in his district
of his vote supporting the President
in the repeal fight in the House.
Mr. Eollmer was elected at snecial
late Representative Pepper of Iowa.
He declared that at that time he had
announced that he would not seek a
second term and that purely personal
reasons caused him to decide that way.
Il have not heard a single word of
disapproval Of my vote on the repeal
bill" he said. These newspaper stories
are a part of a campaign by certain news
papers to discredit the repeal bill and
those who supported it..
Thinks Senate Needs PRAYERS.
Mr.. Carnegie visited the Capitol with
Theodore Gilman. secretary of dam and
power company at keokuk. Iowa. and
had long talk with Chairman Adamsnp
of the House committee on interstate
commerce.
He took occasion to say to newspaper
men that the Panama tolls repeal bill
would be passed by the Senate, but
jokingly suggested that only prayer will
help some OF those democrats in the
Senate, the way they are behaving now

The executive committee believes
that a cerful study of the facts will
satisfy any unprejudiced mind in Con-
gress that proposals to do away with
the half and-half plan ought to be de
feated. and that the present arrange
ment. necessarily arbitrary in proper

to be continued until and unless after
prolonged thorough and impartial

Friends Resent Methods.

lHe PRESIDENT 5 1rlenQS grow more re-
sentful each day of some of the methods
being used to oppose his policy on canal
tolls and outbreaks are suggested in more
quarters than one. Whether investiga-
tions are under foot to obtain data re-
latins to a particular phase of the oppo-
Sition to the administration in Wash
ington could not be aScertained today.
although many hints are afoat and much
interest is being shown in developments
that may come most any time.
The President, heretofore indl-
Gated. is not in doubt to real senti-
ment in the country, and believes that
senators and representatives fully un-
derstand that the campaign now going
on is a hard one to make it appear that
sentiment is against the administ tration
on tolls. That is the only line of at
tack likely to be successful against the
administration in Congress. That body
is with the President beyond question,
IL is declared. and cannot possibly be
swerved from it's attitude now unless
ii receive substantial proof that the
country is genuinely opposed to repeal
of free tolls.
Made-to-order sentiment through al
legged newspaper dispatches, may tempo
rarily cause some hesitation in the minds
Of national legislators, but in the end the
administration does not fear the "ra.sh-
at-ance sentiment that is being turned
out so fast
II the President does put into effect
plans said to be sirpmering. he may feel
it his duty to explain to the country the
basis of the manufactured material now
SO voluminously in the public eye, and
thereby start something of real live
wire Importance in the country.
President Off for a Rest
The President will leave Washington
tonight with Mrs. Wilson and his family
for White Sulphur Springs for several
days rest, and will give no serious at
tention to the tolls fight. He will, how
aver watch developments generally with
a critical eve and be prepared for the
SHOW down when he believes the time
has arrived to talk direct to the country,
II that becomes necessary.
The President was kept busy all day

Iathrop. head of the childrens bureau
of the Department of Commerce. The
President is deeply interested in having
an exhaustive study made of the causes
