SENATE SILENT ON QUESTION
OF PANAMA CANAL TOLLS

The Senate was silent yesterday on the
Panama Canal tolls issue. The Chamber
lain resolution. which was the cause OF
SO much acrimonious debate Wednesday,
did not come up. and there was an abb
sence Of debate on the general question.
and apparently a lack Of memorials.
Senator Lewis. of Illinois, offered a res
olution. which went over under the rules,
and which was as follows:
BE II resolved by the United States
Senate, That In pursuance Of the true
American doctrine Of equal and exact
justice to all-special privileges to none
il is expedient and just that all vessels
or tonnage passing through the Panama
Canal shall bear and pay a sum of CON-
pensation SO adjusted as shall compensate
for expense and upkeep Of the canal:
That the amount and method of pay
ment OF such tolls shall be regulated
jointly by the Secretaries Of War and
the Treasury. with the approval OF the
President of the United States"
Otherwise. there was no outcropping OF
the important issue as to the repeal OF
free tolls.

Special to The Washington herald
New York, March S.-A Washington
dispatch to the Sun says, in part:
THE Wilson administration Is facing
a crisis over its program Of repeal OF the
tolls exempting clause in the Panama
Canal act. Champ Clark, Speaker Of the
House has Joined the other powerful
leaders in that body who are opposing
the Presidents wishes.
His statement tonight throws into the
present controversy the issue whether
the Democrats will stand by the record
which they made in fighting Speaker
Cannon and the old Republican regime
for the liberalization of the rules of the
House Speaker Clark has called upon
the Democrats of the House to say
whether they will sanction this return to
gag methods.
This is the first time that Speaker
Clark has run up the flag OF revolt
against the Wilson administration, and
by many II is regarded as the beginning
Of a factional fight in the House. 1t is
construed. too, as evidence of Mr.. Clark's s
intention to become a candidate for the
Presidential nomination in 1916"
