OPEN MEETINGS BEGUN Fointlciter Resolution Calling on President to Explain Repeal 3Iessage Is Sent to Commit- y tee by Vote of 35 to 2 7. fx;, t . it S WASHINGTON. April 7. Confronted by telegrams from rulf and Pacific Coast porta urging public hearings on the bill proposing the repeal of the tolls exemption provision of the Pana ma Canal act. the Senate lnteroceanlc canals commission decided today to give 15 days, beginning next Thursday, to hearing both proponents and oppo nents of the measure which passed the House. In the meantime the committee will listen to Senators who have offered substitute plans for the flat repeal measure passed by the House. These proposals ranged from the positive dec larations of the right of the United States to exempt any and all of its shipping, as proposed by Senator Gal linger, minority leader, to Senator Kor ris' suggestion that the question be made the subject of arbitration. Committee Meeting; Is Open. The committee entered into a discus sion of the merits of the bill Itself. A long standing rule that committee meetings should be secret was put aside and the discussion was thrown open to the public, but a few Senators, a group of schoolgirl tourists and the news papermen were the only persons to take advantage of the departure from precedent. In the Senate the repeal fight oc cupied virtually the entire day. al though the formal presentation would not come until the conclusion of the committee hearings and its delibera tions. The first roll call on the gen eral subject was taken on a motion to refer to the foreign relations com mittee a resolution offered by Senator ' Foindexter asking that the President explain what questions he had In mind in writing in his repeal message of "matters of even greater delicacy and nearer consequence," and what connec tion those matters might have with the Panama Canal regulations and tolls. The Administration forces by a. vote of 3i to 27 sent the resolution to the committee, seven Democrats voting in the negative and nine Republicans in the affirmative. Treaty Riskts Defended.

J., April 7. The United States Court filed an "opinion here to day dismissing tne suit of the United States Government against the Dela ware, Lackawanna & Western Railroad Company and the Delaware. Lacka wanna & Western Coal Company for alleged violation of the commodity clause and the Sherman anti-trust law. The court holds that there is no United States law or decision prohibiting the same set of individuals from holding stock in two distinct corporations, even though they may be engaged in kindred business. The decision was rendered by Judges Gray, Bufflngton and Mcpherson, of the Third Judicial Circuit. The case is con sidered of the highest importance by the Government, as it is one of the steps planned by the Department of Justice in its efforts to break up what it alleges to be a monopoly .of the anthracite trade. Case Will Be Appealed. The suit, which was brought under both the Sherman anti-trust law and the commodities clause of the Hepburn railroad law, in all probability will go direct to the Supreme Court. Today's decision is the second that this court haa handed down in a com modifies clause case. The first case in volved all the anthracite roads, and reached tha Supreme Court, which de elded that the commodities clause was constitutional, but that a railroad might own stock in a bona fide cor poratlon which owns the commodity the railroad Is transporting. After the Supreme Court decision, the Delaware. Lackawanna A Western Railroad Company declared an extra dividend of 60 per cent and the stock holders received the option to use hal of the dividend to buy stock of the Delaware. Lackawanna & Western Coal Company, which was organized to take over the marketing of the railroad's coal. Railway Minea Coal. The railroad made a contract to sell its coal to the new coal company on the basis of 65 per cent of the average price received for anthracite at New York tidewater. Under this contract the railroad, which continues to mine the coal from the land it owns, sells It at the mine to the coal company and the railroad transports it for the coal corporation. The Government attacked this ar rangement as a "mere lawyer's device, cloaking old facts under new fictions;" that it was a "mere subterfuge and fraud under the law and the public" and that "each corporation is in fact the same group or body of actual per sons working to the same end under different names." Cttlsea Has Rlsht to Invent. The Government's contention in the suit was that the Delaware, Lacka wanna oc Western ltailroad Company and the Delaware. Lackawanna & Western Coal Company, were practt cally one and the same corporation and that they were violating the law for the reason that the Delaware. Lacka wanna & Western Railroad Company was admittedly engaged in transport ing over its lines a large quantity of coal shipped by the Delaware, Lacka ROASTED FRESH EVERY DAT The coffee "you buy from us is fresh and is roasted in our store as we sell it day by day.

To day's decision says: "No act of Congress or Judicial de cision has declared it to be illegal for any Individual citizen to invest his money In two enterprises merely be- cause the two enterprises may be closely connected." Dealing with the alleged violation of the Sherman antt-trust law, today's opinion says there was a formal charge against both defendants under the anti-trust act. but that the oral ar gument left the court under the im pression that the charges were not much insisted on by the Government. The courts understanding was that what was desired was a decision on the alleged violation of the commodi ties clause. -, u u umi f l II. mi . Morrison at Broadway.

"I have carefully reviewed the record of the trial and the opinions written in the court of appeals on the affirmance of the judgment of con viction in this case." the Governor said, "and I am unable to discover any reason that would justify the grant ing of a reprieve. "The judgment of conviction of these defendants was affirmed by the Court of Appeals. The court found no error had been committed in the trial, that the defendants had a fair trial and that these was nothing in the case at all to require or to Justify a new trial." Justice Goff wrote the Governor: "As near as absolute certainty can be attained by human means in a hu man tribunal, it was attained when these four men were convicted of mur der. The conviction has been affirmed by the court of last resort. "It was proved that these men did not even know Rosenthal, that they were hired to murder him, that they did murder him, and that the only mo tive which could actuate them, was to earn the price. "Their guilt, therefore, did not in any manner depend on the prior conviction of Becker, who, it is certain, through his agents, hired them, nor would it be affected if tne Identity of Becker had never been found out" At first the Governor was inclined to grant the reprieve, but after he had studied all of the evidence and the de rision of the Court of Appeals, his view was changed.
