NEWS FROM OUR
NATIONAL CAPITAL
President Vetoes Wool Bill,
Holding The Rates Are
Too Low.
Washington. Holding that Its low
rates would bring disaster to home In
dustry, President Taft returned to
congress with his veto a bill to revise
the wool tariff schedule "K" of the
Fayne-AIdrich law.
With the return of the bill, resi
dent Taft sent an appeal to congress
not to adjourn until a measure had
been enacted substantially reducing
unnecessary protection for the wool
industry of the country.
While the present bill and the one
disapproved last year were identical
In terms, the president's reason dif
fered. He vetoed the former because
It had been framed before the tariff
board's report the latter because be
said it had been framed with disre
gard for the board's findings.
"Most of the rates in the submitted
bill." wrote the president, "are so low
In themselves that If enacted into law
the Inevitable result would be Irre
trievable Injury to the wool-growing
industry the enforced idleness of
much of our wool-combing and spin
ning machinery and of thousands of
looms and the consequent throwing
out of employment of thousands of
workmen."
Canal Bill Passes Senate
The Panama canal bill providing
free passage to American ships, pro
hibiting railroad-owned vessels from
using the waterway and authorizing
the establishment of a one-man gov
ernment when the canal Is completed,
was passed by the senate by a vote of
47 to 15.
Attached to the bill as it passed the
senate were two important amend
ments directed at trust or railroad
control of steamship lines. The first,
by Senator Reed, would prohibit
ships owned by an Illegal combination
from using the canal, and the second,
by Senator Bourne, would force rail
roads to give up water lines that
might otherwise be their competitors,
if it were proved that they were stif
ling competition.
As the bill passed it would permit
American coastwise vessels to pass
through the canal free without condi
tions, while American foreign trade
ships might pass through free if their
owners agree to sell the vessels to the
United States at a fair price in time of
war or emergency.
Knox Is Special Envoy to Japan.
For the first time in the history of
the United States, the secretary of
state was designated as a special am
bassador to a foreign power.
President Taft assigned Secretary
of State Knox as special ambassador
to Japan to attend the funeral of the
late Emperor Mutsuhito on Septem
ber 12, with the statement that the
mission was given to the premier of
the cabinet as evidence of the Ameri
can friendship for Japan. When the
Japanese ambassador to Washington
heard of the mission he asserted it
would be taken by the Japanese as an
act of the greatest courtesy and one
calculated to make even warmer end
more cordial the existing relations be
tween the two governments.
National Capital Brevities.
The senate has granted requests
that the acceptance speeches of Presi
dent Taft, Governor Wilson and Col
onel Roosevelt be printed as public
documents.
Senator Kenyon's bill to compel fed
eral courts to impose jail sentences

tors of the Sherman law got out of
committee and took a place upon Ibe

President Taft has signed the bill
which will enable settlers on reclam
ation projects to obtain patent and
water right certificates and therefore

A bill authorizing the national gov
ernment to cooperate with the various
western states in the destruction of
predatory wild animals and to compel
the United States treasury to bear a
portion of the burden has been intro
duced by Representative Mondell, of
Wyoming.
The innocent purchasers' bill tassed
the house by unanimous consent. In
nocent purchasers of Southern Pacific
grant lands who acquired title from
the railroad prior to the institution of
the government's forfeiture suit will
be permitted to quiet their titles by
payment to the government of $2.50
per acre.
The Simmons fruit quarantine bill,
of great value to every fruitgrower
and horticulturist on the Pacific
coast, passed the house. The bill has
been demanded by coast fruitgrowers

federal quarantine In the United
States against fruit seeds, bulbs and
ntlrsery stock from other countries
which may be infected with insect
pests of any kind.
