HOUSES AT ISSUE
ON TYPE OF CANAL
Deadlock May Occur Between
Sea Level and Lock
Advocates.
PRESIDENT WANTS LOCKS
Question of Economy In Time and
Money Causes Sharp Division.
Threat of Extra Session May
Help Agreement.
OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU. Wash
ington. June 6. President Roosevelt is
likely to have his hands full to secure
the passage of a bill at the present c
Binn authorizing the construction 6f a lock"
canal across the Isthmus of Panama. It
Is evident that a majority of the Senate
is In favor of a sea-level canal, but the
House leaders appear to be favorable to
the lock canal, which Is advocated by the
President. If the Senate passes the- sea
lcvel canal bill, there is every prospect
that the House committee will amend it
by striking out "sea-level" and Inserting
"lock," and in this event a special rule
will be reported to the House which will
insure the passage of the- bill Just as it
came from committee.
The question will then have to be ad
justed in the conference committee. There
will be no middle ground: the Senate must
recede and accept the House bill, or the
House must disregard the wishes of the
President and accept the sea-level propo
sition. There is, of course, another alter
native. The conference committee can fail
to agree, the bill can remain unacted
upon, and the President will then be
thrown upon his own resources, which Is
equivalent to saying that he will start the
construction of a lock canal.
Question Only of Economy.
Judging from the debates in the Senate,
there is no question about the superiority
of the sea-level canal. The strongest ad
vocates of the lock canal do not raise this
question. The main argument made in fa
vor of the lock canal is on the point of
savin a saving of both time and money.
On the contrary, the advocates of the sea
lovel canal make the contention that,
while there would be an Immediate, sav
ing in cost, yet in the long run the sca
level canal will be the cheaper, because
of the saving both in maintenance cost
and in time required in crossing the Isth
mus. There has never been any doubt
that the sea-level canal would be prefer
able from the standpoint of navigators,
and the only question for Congress to de
termine now is whether the immediate
saving on a lock canal Is ample to offset
the many advantages of a canal built at
sea level.
The President is determined that a lock
canal shall he constructed, and his utmost
influence Is being exerted in support of
that idea. Even when the canal bill was
still in committee, the President sent for
members one at a time and argued with
them to convince them that the lock ca
nal should be authorized. In this he did
not succeed for the men who stood out
for a sea-level canal at the start stayed
by it to the end, and they outnumbered
those who favored the lock canal. The
President Is not discouraged; he believes
it Is yet possible to adopt the lock canal,
and he is doing everything that a Presi
dent consistently can do to put through
legislation to that end.
May Call Extra Session.
If Congress fails to pass the canal
bill, there is considerable doubt as to
what step the President will take. It is
expected in some quarters that he will
shoulder the responsibility of ordering
the construction of a lock canal, but
there have been intimations in the Senate
that he has no authority to make such a
move, and it has been hinted that, if he
should attempt to decide upon the type
of canal, steps might be taken by the
Senate to make trouble for the Adminis
tration. Therefore it is believed by some
that, if Congress at the present session
falls to prescribe the type of canal, the
President may call an extra session to
pass this particular bill. If It becomes
noised around that the President has any
such plan In mind. Congress will be very
apt to legislate before adjournment, for
Senators and members are unusually
anxious to get away from Washington
now, and will not do anything that will
require their presence here a month or
two longer than is absolutely necessary.
As a matter of fact. Senators and mem
bers know just how they will vote on the
canal bill, and this important piece of
legislation can be enacted-in a week if
they make up their minds to act.
BUYING OF CANAL SUPPLIES
Taft Has Raised Issue, Which Wor
ries Protected Trusts.
OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU. Wash
ington. June 6. Taft Presidential stock is
not booming these days. Indeed, It be
gins to look as if the Secretary of War
might be driven to accept a position as
Associate Justice of the Supreme Court
by the time Congress reassembles.
Mr. Taft aspires to the Presidency. Of
that there is no question, it is his am
bition to succeed Mr. Roosevelt in the
White House, and there are many rea
sons why Mr. Roosevelt looks with favor
on his boom. But Mr. Taft is pursuing a
peculiar course for a man who hopes to
secure the Republican nomination for the
highest office In the land.
A year ago Mr. Taft created a stir
throughout the country by recommending
that supplies for the Panama Canal be
purchased in foreign markets whenever
they could be bought cheaper abroad than
at home. Such a furore was raised that
the recommendation was withdrawn by
order of the President. Now. however.
Mr. Taft has renewed it, because he finds
it expensive to buy supplies In the home
markets. In doing so, Mr. Taft is guard
ing the Interests of the Government He
Is not giving any particular attention to
the effect his recommendations will have
on his own political future. He deems It
unwipe to buy supplies In our own mar
kets when they can be bought in foreign
markets for a materially less figure.
The Administration has now put this
question up to Congress, and a resolution
has passed the Senate and will be favor
ably reported to the House requiring that
all supplies for the canal be of American
manufacture unless the prices bid are
unreasonable. Whatever Congress says
will go. and the responsibility will not
rest alone on Mr. Taft or the President.
Under the pending measure, there will
be a division of- responsibility, and the
President will not shirk the portion which
falls to his lot.
It is noticeable that the supplies which
can be purchased much cheaper abroad
than at home are controlled In this coun
try by big trusts or corporations. The
steel trust and the cement trust, which
have the American market by the throat,
are attempting to hold up the Govern
ment on the Isthmus by taking refuge

OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU." Wash
ington, June 6. Senator Fulton i
highly gratified at the news of the
Oregon election, as it clearly indorses
the Republican National administra
tion and will have a highly beneficial
effect on the Congressional elections
that follow In the rest of the country
in November. Commenting on the re
sult, Mr. Fulton today said:
"It was a grand Republican victory.
It would, of course, have been more
satisfactory haj the Republican nomi
nee for Governor been elected. Dr.
Withycombe was entitled to the sup
port of his party. He is clean, able and
well qualified m every respect. How
ever. Governor Chamberlain has been
a good official and we all know what
a pleasing and attractive gentleman he
is. hence his election is not surpriing.
"The encouraging: feature of the re
sult is the emphatic indorsement given
Republican National policies. Evi
dently the Republicans of Oregon are
well satisfied with the policies of the
Republican Administration. That is evi
denced by the pronounced support
given Republican candidates for Con
gress and the Legislature. It is well.
The policies indorsed are not only those
that conduce to the highest and widest
prosperity of our people, but Oregon
has placed herself at the head of the
Republican hosts of the Nation.
"The election is one of especial im
portance to the people of Oregon in
that ILwas the first trial of the direct
primary and the result in my judgment
demonstrates that the direct primary
has come to stay. The decree of the peo
ple must be carried out and I am sure
that in this sentiment the people of
Oregon will stand united. Mr. Bourne.

The Washington Star. editorially
commenting on the Oregon election,
says:
The result in Oregon I mixed. National
interest attache to the returns- for National
places. These show that there has been no
turn of the tide In Oregon on National Is
sues. The stnte throws her influence again
for sound money, protection and expansion
and for those tsvues wlch have come to the
front within the past few years. It Is equally
clear, too. that the course of the Administra
tion on the land fraud stands approved. This
latter point is of especial value as encour
aging the authorities to proceed elsewhere
with their programme for bringing land
thieves to Justice.
Speculation about the complexion of the
next House will not be- checked, although
Republican uneasiness may abate somewhat.
It will be claimed that, aft ail Is safe in Ore
gon, where the party had indulged tn a
very thorough house-cleaning, there is strong
warrant for hope in other states where Re
publican delinquencies have teen exposed.

Lodge Objects to Punishing Officials
Vnless They Willfully and Know

Luvv for Sleeping-Cars.
WASHINGTON. June 6. When the
conference report on the railroad rate
bill was taken up by the Senate to
day, the anti-pass conference amend
ment received the attention of Spoon-'
er. In the main he indorsed the pro
hibition of passes, but he contended
that there should be exceptions, in
cluding railroad employes. Congress
had no right, he said, to step between
employer and employe.
There is no sense in the provision
as it stands," he said. "The railroads
should be allowed to perform the acts
of common humanity; it should be
elastic."
Spooner also spoke of the import
ance of Including the members of the
railroad Y. M. C. A., as persons en
titled to passes, and Tillman sug
gested that it was necessary to draw
the line somewhere. He would have
the exceptions limited to railroad em
ployes and their families, and Hale
presented the same view.
Lodge criticised on other grounds
the action of the conference committee
In omitting the words "willfully and
knowingly" from the penal clauses of
the bill, saying that to leave the words
out would work a great Injustice to
railroad officials through inadvertence,
carelessness or malice on the part of
others.
Rayner spoke especially against the
use of the word of "wilfully." express
ing the opinion that, if the retention
of the word was insisted upon, it
would be impossible to obtain a con
viction under the law.
Bailey found fault with the omission
of sleeping car companies from the
bill, saying that the sleeping car com
pany is the only absolute monopoly in
the country.

CLAIMS COPYRIGHT OX VOICE
Sousa Accuses Phonographs of Pi
racy and Injury to Music.
WASHINGTON, June 6. At the hearing
on the copyright bill today John Philip
Sousa, the composer and band conductor,
testified that in every one of the cata
logues of the manufacturers of talking
machines was a list of some twenty to
one hundred of his compositions, but he
had yet to receive the first cent for what
he regarded as this "piracy." Mr. Sousa
condemned the machines roundly.
"1 tell you the human voice is not heard
as it used to he." he said, "and I prophesy
that the vocal chords may by their disuse
become useless.
"Another evidence that these machines
are taking the musical initiative from
our people is that the sales of the banjo,
the mandolin and the guitar are greatly
decreasing and the dealers tell me this
is on account of the increased use of the
talking machines."
Victor Herbert followed Mr. Sousa.

New York and Washington, at which
the author, artist, composer, publisher
and all creators of works protected by
copyright were represented. Many rep
resentatives of these Interests were pres
ent at the hearing today. A comprehen
sive statement as to the principles and
features of the bill was made to the com
mittee by Herbert Putnam, Librarian of
Congress, who read President Roosevelt's
emphasis of the pressing necessity for a
general copyright law to take the place
of the fragmentary and inadequate pro
visions of e present statutes.
