Republican Supporter OF tine
President Sees Sentiment
Growing Against Bill.
THINKS. ON OTHER HAND,
CHANGE MAY YET COME
Believes in Two or Three Weeks
G. 0. P. Will Change and Vote
With President.

IF the fight over the Panama canal
tolls continues to go as it has during
the last few days the President will be
beaten in the Senate was the comment
Of Il republican senator today. one of the
foremost adherents OF the repeal bill ad-
vocated by President Wilson.
The most significant thing in the sit
nation has been the manner in Wnich re-
publican senators who have hitherto
been counted for repeal have announced
themselves in opposition to the repeal
] do not put much faith in the polls which
have been published so far. | see that
these polls constantly place Senator du
Pont of Delaware in the ranks of those
favoring repeal. AS matter of fact, he
IS opposed to the repeal
'.On the other hand. believe that with
in the next two or three weeks tle pen
dulum will begin to swing back III the
other direction. and that republicans VIII
begin to understand that it is to the best
interests of the country to vote tor the
repeal I think that the inteilSent peo-
pie of the country will make their post
tiou clear as soon as they Thoroughly
understand the situation, and will be
overwhelm lmingly in favor of the repeal.
Republicans Line Up.
The lining up of the republican SEN
ators against the repeal bill is continuing.
The latest republican recruits to the op-
position are Senators Fall of New Mexico
and Oliver of Pennsylvania Senator
Fall has been classed until today as in
favor of the repeal, and Senator Oliver
was placed in the non-committal column
until yesterday afternoon.
Senator Oliver issued formal state
ment announcing that he had decided to
vote against the repeal. He said he
voted against exemption at the last Con-
gress because it then seemed that it was
in violation of treaty obligations, but that
subsequent discussion had convinced him
that the weight of opinion was against
the contention that violation of the Hay
Pauncefote treaty was involved.
Senator Fall of New Mexico outlined
his attitude in the following state
ment:
i will not say that / will positively
vote against the President, but ] have
almost come to the conclusion that the
repeal would he less wise than continuing
the exemption.
What | believe to be the best thing
of all would be to grant tolls exemptions

However, there is a compact orsani
zation of members in the House. whose
names are withheld. who have deter
mined to obtain action. and it is stated

After the required time, seven days, the
motion will be brought before the House

Citizens Gain Time.

The Trades Unionist editorial says:
Last Monday was supposed to be one
of the days that Congress sets aside for
the consideration of business affecting the
interests of the District, but, as is Sener-
ally the case whenever there is anything
else before the House, little or no con-
sideration is given the District. The
most important legislation affecting the
District was supposed to come up on tnlS
day. that of the question of taxation,
and it may be blessing in disguise that
District day was passed over, as it has
given more time to the committee of Cit
iZens that are fighting this measure to
acquaint the country through some oil
the most influential organizations of the
true status of the relations of the gov
ernment with the District, so that when
the bill does come before the House many
more of the members will be better in
formed on this question than they are at
the present time.
The Union Labor Advocate in its edi-
torial says:
The stand taken by organized labor in
ndorsing the work of the committee of
one hundred in its endeavor to prevent
legislation proposed by certain members
Of Congress affecting the interests Of the
residents of the District of Columbia is
a good one, and labor should continue
in its work 1t is hoped that the work
will not stop in the Building Trades
Council and the Central Labor Union. but
that the constituent locals will take up

Probable AII-Day Contest Over
Nomination to Interstate
Commerce Commission.
MATTER is CONSIDERED
III EXECUTIVE SESSION
Democratic Members Declare the In
tention of Voting Against the
Presidents Selection.

With every prospect of another all-day
night over the nomination of Winthrop
More Daniels of Princeton. n j.. as a
member of the interstate commerce COM
mission the Senate met i'll executive Ses-
sion at II 30 O'Clock today. The legis-
! lative day of April l still continues, as
under unanimous consent the Senate
agreed to vote on the Daniels nomination
on that legislative day.
1t was suggested before the session be-
gan that an effort would be made to get
the President to withdraw the nomina-
ton. Among the democratic senator's
who have declared their intention of vot-
ing against the confirmation of Mr.. Dan
iels if the matter is pressed to a vote,
are Senators Walsh, MARITIME and Varda-
man.
Situation Informally Discussed.
The Senate interstate commerce COM
mittee at a meeting this morning con-
sidered informally the situation regard :
ing Mr. Daniels No quorum was pres
ent 1t has been suggested that the best
course to pursue would be to have the
nomination recommitted. thereby giving
the President opportunity 10 bring out
further reasons, for the confirmation of
Mr.. Daniels, or if Withdrawing the nomi-
nation.
Senators however. question the pos
sibiIity of recommitting the nomination
since the Senate has by unanimous con-
sent agreed to vote on the nominat ton.
They hold that under the agreement un-
less the President withdraws the nomi-
nation vote must be taken on it.
Views of the Opposition.
Senator MARITIME of Mr. Daniels own
state was reported last night to have told
the Senate that he had come to the con
clusion confirmation would be mis-
take. He added that personally he had
the highest regard for Mr.. Daniels.
Mr.. Daniels views on valuation of pub
lie service corporation property as eN-
pressed in the Passaic gas rate case are
the basis of the opposition. In this case
the first to come up under Gov. Wilson S
public utilities act, Mr. Daniels critics
say that as president of the public serv-
value of the gas company'S property.
After fiXing the physical value of the
plant. it was explained, IL. 6-i0 per cent
was added for intangible value, and an
additional 80 per cent for going con-
Germ.
During yesterdays debate Mr.. Daniels
was criticised for allowing such a large
percentage. when there was dispute
among students of public service eco
nomes as to whether anything should be
allowed Mr.. Daniels supporters replied
that he had reached his conclusion con-
scientiously. and pointed to the fact that
the price OF gas to users in Passaic was
reduced 10 cents by the commission.
The Importance of the selection of
man with sound valuation ideas was en-
phaszed by senators. who pointed to the
fact that the interstate commerce COM
mission is just launching forth on a val
uation of all the railways of the country
and in a few years will be called upon
to apply the various elements of valua-
ton to rate making.

HOUSE FEARS VOTE
ON BARRING LIQUOR
Members Quake at Prospect
of Roll Call on Constitu-
tionaI Amendment.

Many democrat, and for that matter
many a republican, in the House of Rep
resentatives is auaking with fear just at

to put the House on record in roll call
vote OH the Hobson resolution. which is
the proposed amendment to the Constitu-
ton prohibiting the sale. manufacture
and importation of alcoholic liquor any
where in this country.
This question will cause more heart
burnngs than the tolls row, and it Will
cause more embarrassments at home and
in Congress than almost anything that
has yet been put up to the House. For
months the House as a whole has man
aged to stave off this pestering PROPOSE
ton. but some of the boys who want
to keep things humming have managed
campaign which will result in roll
call on the liquor subject very soon.
The Hobson resolution to make the
nation dry as dust is now SlumberlnG
in the House judiciary committee. and
there are several hundred representa-
tives who have hoped fervently that it
would stay there because of the fright
full political tangles that will follow
a record vote either way on it.
