of the Panama canal act, which

WAR BETWEEN VARDEMAN AND
WEST
During the closing hours of de-
bate on the bill last night the situa-
tiOn was enlivened by an acrid tilt
between Senator West of Georgia,
speaking in favor of the bill, ard
Senator Vardeman, of Mississippi,
who opposed the measure.
Senator Vardeman resented the
intimation of Senator West that "in-
ffuence' had been used to defeat the
bill. Vardeman started toward
West in threatening manner Sen
ator Ashurst of Arizona, barred the
Mississippi senator's way. Senator
Hoke Smith, also of Georgia, in
truded his ponderous form between
the belligerents. Meanwhile, Ser
geanlt- t-at-Arms Higgins seized SEN
atOr West by the arm and the two
were quieted down, with no actual
harm done.

HARMONIOUS
DISSOLUTION
OFNEW HAVEN
NOW HINGES
ON 7 POINTS

Washington, March 13.-Success or
failure of the plan for a peaceful dis
solution of the New Haven Railroad
system hinged tonight largely on two
propositions-the length of service of
the trustees who, it is proposed, shall
take over the stock of the Boston &
Maine Railroad now owned by the
New Haven, and the divorce or re-
tention of the systems Connecticut
trolley lines. After an ll-day con-
ference between counsel for the New
Haven and attorneys for the depart
ment of Justice, it became known to-
night that no agreement had been
reached on either proposition. The
conferences will be resumed tomorrow
and it is possible that the middle over
the trolleys at least will be clarified
to such an extent that a basis for COM
promise will be be reached.
So far as the trusteeship for the
Boston & Maine is concerned the two
sides to the conference were admitted
ly so far apart that this question was
not taken up at all during the day.
The department was said tonight still
to be insisting that the trustees shall
serve not more than two years, While
the New Haven held the position that
such a term is too short. For the
present the Boston & Maine problem
will be left to slumber and the trolleys
and steamship phase of the dissolu-
IN, oil a
compromise is found, it probably will
be on a two-year basis with right OF
a two-year extension on approval by
a court.
1t was not believed here tonight that
Attorney General McReynolds would
concede more liberal terms although
agreement on other parts Of the dis
solution plan may influence both sides
on the Boston &, Maine matter Re-
ports from New England tonight that
many banks in that section have TAX
en- up the cudgels for the New Haven
were received with interest at the de-
partment of Justice. Several commu-
nications were received from banks
suggesting that the department might
show more leniency in the Boston q
Maine matter.
The difficulty today arose mainly
over the Connecticut holdings of the
New Haven, although the separation OF
the steamship lines presents its own
troublesome problems.
The New Haven has taken the posi-
ton that its Connecticut trolleys are
feeders to the New Haven itself and
essential to it's operation. On the
other hand the department of justice
maintains that these trolleys must be
separated from the New Haven in or
der to restore competition to New
England transportation.

MISS WILSON
ENGAGEMENT
TOMCADOOIS
MADE PUBLIC

Washington, March 13.-"The Pres
ident and Mrs. Wilson announce the
engagement of their youngest daugh-
ter, Eleanor Randolph, to Hon. Will
liam Gibbs McAdoo."
This announcement was issued at
the White House by Secretary Tumul-
ty tonight after a day of speculation
in capital official and society circles
over the prospects for another White
House wedding in June.
For weeks there have been rumors
that the Presidents daughter and the
secretary of the treasury would be
married soon and in the past day or
two there has been no denial that an
nouncement could be expected. The ex-
act date of the wedding is not known
but it is generally believed that it
will be some time in June. There
has been extraordinary interest in
the enga cement among officials and
the many friends of both Miss Will
son and the cabinet officer have made
during the year they have been in
the capIt:if. the Youngest of the fam
lily, Miss Eleanor, is said to lie her ia
theirs pet and there is a strong per-
sonal friendship between the Presi-
dent and the man who is to marry
his daughter.
Reports that Secretary McAdoo
wonld retire from the cabinet after his
maria ge and perhaps, become ambas-
sador to France, were set at rest to-
night by White House officials, who
said emphatieally that he was expect
ed to remain at the head of the treas
urv department.
Washington society has not been al
together unprepared for the announce
ment Of the engagement, for the
couple have been seen together at
many Q. dance and social function.
Though Secretary McAdoo is so years
old, and Miss Wilson is "a, intimate
friends of the secretary said today:
HE is as young as man of 80" He
is fond of tennis and outdoor sports
and played tennis often on the White
House courts with Miss Wilson last
spring and fall. Miss Wilson is ath-
letic, a good horsewoman and delights
in outdoor life.
Miss Wilson will be the f4th White
House bride and the second of the
Presidents daughters to be married
there.

Work for Repeal,


Detailing the efforts of endowment,
DR.. Scott said o. million copies of a
pamphlet urging repeal of the ex-
emption clause and signed by virtual
ly the entire directorate had been sent
throughout the country and 100000
copies of Senator Roots speech in the
Senate urging the repeal had been
mailed under the Senator's frank. An
nual statements of the endowment
showed that the American Peace So
ciety. of which Senator Burton of Ohio
is president, draws $31. 900 year from
the Carnegie organization. This mon
ey was used, Mr.. Scott said, to dis
tribute pamphlets bearing on peace
propaganda. The committee displayed
great interest in such of these pub
locations as dealt with Panama canal
tolls or general arbitration treaties.
DR.. Scott agreed to furnish copies of
all such documents.
Nothing of O'Gorman Charges.
No questions were asked the witness
relating directly to charges made in
an executive session of the Senate re-
Gently by Senator O'Gorman that the
actual purpose of the endowment was
to promote an alliance between Great
Britain and the United States, it's
peace propaganda serving merely as
a cloak for that purpose.
Senator Reed, however, demanded an
explanation of the relation between
international peace and the tolls
charged for the Panama canal. The
pamphlets sent out by the endowment,
he asserted, urged that the United
States yield to Great Britain and
that had been Senator Roots view as
expressed in the Senate.
Courses to Be Followed.
MY understanding of Mr.. Roots
understanding is that we should either
repeal the exemption law or submit
the disputed portion of the treaty to
arbitration" MIR. Scott said. II believe
one of these courses should be follows
