CLARK OPPOSES TOLLS REPEAL Speaker Makes Final Talk Against Measure. NOT A PERSONAL ISSUE Disclaims Any Ambition to -Presi. dency as Reason for His Attitude, but Contends Mr. Wilson Is Mis. taken in His Views on Subject. ‘Washington, April 1.—In an atmos. phere of tense excitement, the strug- gle in the house over President Wil son’s proposal to repeal the Panama tolls exemption was pressed to its last stage. Speaker Clark, closing debate against the repeal, disappointed those who expected him to attack Presl- dent Wilson. He disclaimed any per- sonal issue with the president, de- clared he believed Mr. Wilson was actuated by the highest patriotic mo- tives, and that there was no breach in the Democratic party. He argued at lemgth against the president’s contention and declared that “the amazing request of the president for the repeal, like the peace of God, ‘passeth all understand ing.’” He diselaimed any personal issue between the president and himselt and added if the president had rea sons “which are not utterly untenable and which compel him to make this request” he had not given them to the house. He contended that the president was mistaken in the view that the exemption was repugnant to the Hay- Pauncefote treaty. “Face a World In Arms.” “We want war with no nation,” said the speaker, “but rather than sur render our right to complete sover eignty over every square foot of our globe encircling * domain, we will cheerfully and courageously.face a world in arms.” He attacked the attitude of the house Democrats who have led the president’s fight for the toll exemp- tion repeal. Referring to published declarations that his opposition to the president was “the opening gun of his fight for the nomination in 1916,” the speaker declared he had told all to whom he had spoken about 1916 situation that if the president’s administration were a success Mr. Wilson would be re-elected, and if it were a failure “the nomination would not be worth having.” Representative Thomas, Democrat, and Representative Keating, Demo- crat, favored the bill. So did Repre- sentative Slayden (Dem., Tex.). Rep- resentative Kent of California, Inde- pendent, agreed with the president that exemption was a subsidy. Representative Copley of Ohio and Cooper of Wisconsin, Republicans, spoke for repeal. Representative Powers (Rep., Ky.) spoke against it.

Chihuahua, April 1.—While officialt here are optimistic as to the outcome of the battle at Torreon they said that the absence of official reports indl. cates that General Villa is meeting with stubborn resistance. The telegraph office is accepting telegrams addressed to Gomez Pala: cio, care of General Villa, but thus far none addressed to newspaper men have been replied to. The only information available is that fighting continues at Torreon. There were no details, but rebel offi- cials declared that the main battle for the town was fought at Gomez Palacio last week. Losses there were heavy on both sides and they assert that neither side is now able to repeat so bloody and determined a contest.” In Torreon the fighting is said to be from house to house, whereas Gomez Palacio had to be taken by storm after three as- saults, in the course of which men went down by hundreds.

SUSPENDS NEW RAIL SCHEDULES Four Thousand Tariffs Held Up by Commission. STEEL AGREEMENTS STAND Exception Made in Case of Big Cor poration, Which Would Lose $9,000, 000 Annually by Elimination of Al- lowances. ‘Washington, April 1.—All new tar- ifts filed by railroads eliminating al- lowances to industrial railroads were suspended by the interstate commerce commission until’ July 30, with the ex- ception of those affecting the United States Steel corporation and other iron and steel companies, which were permitted to stand. Approximately 4,000 tariffs were sus- pended. They would have become ef- fective at once and were submitted in compliance with the commission’s findings in the industrial railways case, in which it was held that allow- ances and divisions of rates made by trunk lines with certain industrial rail- ways operated by iron and steel com- panies in Eastetn territory were, in effect, rebates and should be discen- tinued. No tariffs affecting the industrial railways covered by the decision in the industrial railways case were sus- pended. Only those industrial rail- ways that have not had “their day in court” are granted a suspension of the tariffs affecting them. Steel Agreements Stand. Elimination of allowancees and di- vigions with the industrial roads op- erated by the United States Steel cor- poration and other iron and steel com- panies-in the East were permitted to stand. That will' mean that unless the courts enjoin the trunk lines from dis- continuing the allowances or the com- mission should give a rehearing of the industrial railways case the tariffs will be effective against the steel corpera- tion’s roads and against those of other likely they will be hejd before next autumn, in which event it will be necessary for the commission before July 30 further to suspend the tariffs, MISS TYLER TO HOLD OB, President Will save Her the Position as Postmistress, ‘Washington, Aprfl .—President Wil- son will restore to Miss Mattie R.
