Beginning Wednesday Bill Will Be Kept Before the Senate Until It Is
 Disposed Of

Z Washington, June k Developments in the Senate today encouraged leaders in the belief that vote would be taken by Saturday night on the canal tolls exemption repeal bill Although an ef- fort to secure unanimous consent for a vote Friday failed, Senator O'Gorman opposing the repeal, announced that be- ginning Wednesday the bill would be kept before the Senate until 1t was dis posed of.
 With the adoption of the plan the bill will come in automatically at 1 clock each day and not be displaced by appropriation bills or other bi1s. During the day a conference between Senators Kern, Simmons and Lodge, at which the forces for and against repeal were reckoned, led to an announce ment by Senator Simmons that he ex- pected the bill to receive 50 votes Sem ator Simmons declared he did not in- clude any senators counted as doubtful, and if his prediction Is fulfilled the re- peal bill will have a majority of nine.
 Senators Colt and Myers spoke in favor of repeal today and Senator Cat ron opposed 1t Senator Pittman intro- duced an amendment which would em- power the President to reduce the tolls rate on American coastwise ships or ex- empt them when necessary to prevent discrimination

WITHDRAWAL ORDER OF LARGE OIL LANDS
 IS HELD INVALID
California Judges Decision Vests Mil lions in Property in Private Own ers-Says Mineral Laws
 Were Suspended

Los Angeles, Cal, June LA withdraw

 government lands in California variously
 estimated in value at from $25o,OOO,O00 to
 sl. .OO0 OO0, ,OO0, was declared invalid in de-
 cision by Judge Maurice T. Dooling of
 the United States district court of San
 Francisco.
 The former President had planned tc provide great source of fuel for the American navy by exempting the oil land from entry by private locators The de- cision gives to the Midway oil company and the Standard oil company, principal defendants. undisputed possession. Similar minor actions now pending will be affected by the decision. Judge Dool' ing, in his ruling says:
 "The effect of these withdrawal orderi is to suspend the mineral laws of ths United States. The executive power can rot permanently affect such legislation.
 "The orders in question, I believe to bt one ramification of a growing tendency tt concentrate in the executive more power than can be traced to any specific or con stitutional or legislative provision.
