Plan Legislative Program Few Night Sessions Also May Be Held Members Want to Have Work Finished by July 10 KILL HAY TREATY IS GOFFS DEMAND C0NT1NTTKD FROM FIRST PAOH it Plans for an early adjournment of Congress took more definite shape yesterday when the Senate advanced Its meeting hour from noon to 11 oclock and House leaders Issued a formal call for a Democratic caucus next Tuesday night when a legislative program will bd laid out which will includeadjournmentas a leading feature If the Senate holds to the 11 oclock meeting hour and Insists upon a few night sessions leaders believe the hope of adjournment by July 10 may be realized Majority Leader Underwood has no doubt that he House can finish its business before that date No Opposition Expected The House caucus Tuesday will con eider a resolution announcing it to be the sense of the party that the antitrust Interstate trade commission and railway capitalization bills the rural credits measures and the appropriation bills should be passed and the House then adjourn It is not expected that there will be any opposition to its adoption The Senate changed its meeting hour in order that it might hasten passage of the agricultural appropriation bill This bill was dragged along for more than a week with little progress and several senators are anxious that It be disposed of before other appropriation bills are reported There is a growing disposition on the part of senators to take the attitude that if the House passes the antitrust legisla tlon and the Senate becomes so tangled up with it that there Is little prospect of an agreement for months adjournment should be taken without antitrust action by the Senate NEWS NOTES FROM SENATE AND HOUSE The President yesterday made these nominatfbns Receivers of public moneys

yesterday advocating the recall of judges and thlr decisions when In conflict with public needs and demands He contended that nowhere in the Federal Constitution is the Supreme Court authorized to decide an act of Congress unconstitutional and that for years the Supreme Court claimed no such power and made no attempt to exercise it 5000000 for Good Roads A bill appropriating 5000000 for the construction of good roads probably will lie agreed upon by a subcommittee of the Senate postoflke committee This meast ure is a substitute for the House bfit authorizing an appropriation of 25000500

peace until we soiact Quotes Many Opinions Senator Goft quoted from the public statements of Senators Walsh and Varda man Representative Underwood former Presidents Taft and Roosevelt in favor of the exemption of coastwise shipping from tolls as indicative of the thought of the tountry and tbej opinion of representative men of both the great parties He referred earcastlcally to the recent statements of the President to the suffragists that he could not discuss that question because there was no platform declaration upon It although he at the same time not only disregarded but repudiated a specific plank declaring in favor pf toll exemption Offers Two General Propositions Senator Goff set up two general propositions to which he addressed himself at length There is no international obligation to submit the construction of legislative acts by any process of arbitration and That any aggrieved party has an appropriate Impartial and competent tribunal In the Supreme Court of the United States We are considering today continued Senator Goff a bill the object of which is to repeal legislation that has had the unqualified approval of the voters of this nation The people have fully considered and accurately weighed in the balance the domestic and international questions involved and by an overwhelming majority an avalanche of ballots decided that they are not wanting In merit that the Congress was wise and patriotic when it exempted coastwise shipping from tolls when passing through the canal Distressed by the Situation Our situation as a nation is most peculiar altogether anomalous really distressing merging even on the pitiful Like a mighty vessel upon a stormy sea without a navigator our ship of state is drifting carried along by a political current pregnant with disaster at home and frightful entanglements abroad The convention that nominated our President adopted a platform containing a plank which declared for free tolls such declaration receiving the full approval of the candidate When the Democratic national convention met in Baltimore and promulgated that platform the situation was different from what It is now for it was then popular and regarded as a patriotic duty to advocate the exemption from tolls of coastwise vessels Not Then Considered Subsidy It was not then considered as a subsidy but as an honest legitimate effort to aid our merchant marine and to restore our flag to the seas from which It has ibeen driven The Democratic party solemnly pledged Its policy and its candidates to the legislation that granted free tolls to coastwise ships It was not an oversight it was not a mistake it was not Just slipped In It was duly considered and regularly adopted The distinguished gentlemen who composed that convention shining lights in the management of that great party in the keeping of which the destinies of this nation are now confided are not highly honored by those who now say that when that convention read Into its creed the words We favor the exmption from tolls of American ships engaged in coastwise trade passing through the Panama Canal it did not appreciate the importance and the magnitude of the matter involved He Is Everlastingly Wrong at Is with pleasure that I note quite a number of those I have Justpiade reference to have emphatically repudiated this suggestion The Democratic convention was right wonderful as it may seem when it incorporated those words Into its platform The Democratic President speaking in favor of these words when a candidate was right but when he as President says to Congress In substance that they are vicious and should be ungrudgingly repealed he is everlastingly wrong If the convention promises then so made are now to be disregarded what confidence will the people have in the plighted faith of party platforms In plain words if they were made to be disregarded at will if party platforms are not now binding as once they were then our system of government for the people and by the people has received such a blow that It will require the adoption of other rules of better methods tefore the voters will again trust those who have so deceived them Would Not Have Been Ratified I am quite confident that the Hay Pauncefote treaty would never have been ratified by the Senate had there existed the least doubt about the right of the United States to be master of the situation to establish the rules and proceedings and regulations by which the canal is to be governed Mr Goff declared that the only nation In the world to which the rules governing the Panama Canal are riot fair is the United States itself It seems to me that so far as our own vessels are concerned he continued Vwe have a right to charge them as we please or let all pass through free But is it not ludicrous to talk about the United States charging her own vessels or her battleships tolls Acted on Canadas Demand It is quite apparent that but for this provision relating to railroads Great Britain would not have raised this contention As a matter of fact she has acquiesced in the releasing of our coastwise vessels She had agreed that they should go through the canal free but wlien Congress in its wisdom saw fit to include with that to which she had consented a provision that Canadian railroads owning these ships should be prevented from entering the canal Canada appealed tothe mother country Canada demanded of Great Britain her own protection and Great Britain for the first time then presented this contention Toward the close of his speech Senator Goff paid a glowing tribute to the Stars and Stripes He had argued eloquently for the retention of the exemption law because of its importance in building up the American merchant marine and pio tured in vivid words how that flag sym bollcalof the greatest nation on earth had been almost driven from the seas OHliQJblfcCAHTAIi CONTINUED FROM FIRST TXQB 4 Belmont Mrs Gflaon Gardner Miss
