Canal Tolls
Bill Passed
By Senate.
Opposition Fears Measure to
Exempt U. 5. Coastwise
Shipping From Duty Will
Complicate Arms Farley.
Clash Foreseen in House
BY ARTHUR SEARS HENNING.

ChIcsxo Tribune Omaha Bee Leased wire.
Washington, Oct. l0.-Despite the
most solemn warnings that il was
voting 10 violate the Hay Paunee-
tote treaty, the senate today passed
the Borah bill exempting American
coastwise shipping from payment oi
Panama canal tolls. The vote was
~ yes and 81 nays.
The house, 10 which the measure
now. goes, will be the scene OF the
real battle over this proposed dis
elimination, contrary 70 the treaty
agreement, to give the ships OF all
nations the use OF the canal on equal
terms. In the house, however. the
bill probably will be permitted to
sleep until after the conclusion OF
the conference on the limitation OF
armaments in which the United
States desires the support of Great
Britain and other nations which pro-
tested in 1912 and are prepared to
protest again against violation Of the
treaty.
Party Lines Obliterated.
Party lines were completely
obliterated and some curious political
paradoxes were revealed in the final
roll call on the bill. Senator Lodge.
republican leader, voted against the
measure, Notwithstanding the re-
publican platform declaring for it
and President Harding's warm ap-
proval OF the free toll plank. On the
other hand, Senator Underwood,
democratic leader. registered his vote
in favor OF the bill. The republicans
divided, s. in favor of the bill and
II against it. The democrats cast
u votes for the bill and 20 against
il.
The passage OF the bill, so far as
the senate is concerned, completely
undoes what President Wilson &C
complished in 1914 when he frankly
repudiated the free tolls plank of
the democratic platform Of 1912 and
after one OF the most spectacular
parliamentary contests ever waged
in the capitol obtained the repeal OF
the free tolls clause OF the Panama
canal act.
Text Of Bill.
The text of the bill follows:
BE it enacted by the senate and
house of representatives of the
United States OF America in congress
assembled, that hereafter no tolls
shall be levied upon vessels passing
through the Panama camel engaged
in the coastwise trade Of the United
States.

For three innings the contest was d
close one, after which Louisville punched

Iowa a Strong Contender
for Cridiron Championship
Is Considered Best Eleven in
Western Conference.

CHICAGO Oct 16.-The University Of
Iowa football eleven as a result of last
Saturdays games stands out as the team
most likely to win the Western Con-
ference football championship, indica-
tions being that no other eleven will be
able to do more than tie the Hawkeyes
barring seemingly impossible upsets in
the remaining games of the season.
The Iowans by a ii to . victory over
Illinois won what is expected to be their
only hard game Of the season, the rest
of the schedule being made up OF sup
posedly weaker elevens. Wisconsin,
Michigan and Ohio State-the latter
again a championship contender through
its brilliant and unexpected victory over
Minnesota--picked by many observers
as the chief contestants of Iowas title
claims, meet each other in contests
which are sure to eliminate two of the
trio and which may mean defeat for all
three. Iowa meets none of them. and
thus favored by the schedule is cham
pionship possibility for the first time in
years.
Indiana and Michigan have not played
Conference games. Iowa now plays only
Purdue, Indiana, Northwestern and Min
nesota of the Conference elevens. Pur-
due, beaten by a minor college and by
Chicago: Indiana. admittedly weak, and
Northwestern, already defeated In three
Big Ten games, are not expected to fur
nish much opposition to the Hawkeyes.
Minnesota seems weak after the 27--0
defeat by Ohio State Saturday.
Ohio State. however, must defeat
Michigan, Chicago and Illinois. all good
elevens. to go through with clean slate.
Michigan. besides meeting Ohio State.
plays Wisconsin and Illinois, while Wis
consin meets Illinois, Ohio State and
Chicago. Chicago is considered as an
eleven not likely to be the champion.
but able to cause trouble.
