All Administration Centralized in the President of the United States MANN BILL PASSED 119 TO 102 The Vote was Along Strict F‘ar!y Lines—Democrats Fought the Measure at Every Step—Minority Kept the House in Session Until After 6 P. M. Offering Amendment After Amendment and on Fach Vote Demanding Tellers—The Bill as it Goes to the Senate. ‘Washington, Jan. 5.—With the demo- crats fighying at every step the Mann bill _pro & for the administration of the Panama canal zone and central- izing the government thereof in the president of the United States, passed he house today by a vote of 119 fo 102. The vote was along strict party lines. House Session Extended into Evening.

Respective Attitudes. The respective attitudes of the ma- jority and minority on this section mayv b= best described by @ guestion put to Representative Townsend of Michigan by Representative Garrett of Tennes- sce. and by Mr. Townsend’s reply. Do vyou belleve that congress has any power under the constitution to confer legislative power on the presi- dent?” asked Mr. Garrett. “Ordinarily, no,” replied Mr. Town- send. “In this instance, yes. We are in Panama digging a canal, and it is necessary for the president to have the power to make rules and regulations for the government of the zone while work is in progress.” ‘What the Bill Authorizes the President to Do. The bill, as it goes to the senate, au- thorizes the president to have the Pan- ema canal completed and to appoint a director general of the canal and the canal zone—thus doing away with the canal commission. It invests the judi- cial power of the zone in one circuit court and such inferior courts as the president may constitute, and allows appeal to the supreme court of the United States in cases involving $5,000 and in eriminal cases punishable by death or life imprisonment. Trial by j:fi is granted in all criminal prose- cutions for felony. Since the expiration of the 58th con- gress there has been no act in terms authorizing the government of the ca- nal zone, but President Roosevelt con- tinued in existence the civil govern- Cabled Paragraphs, Butiaba, Jan. and the others of the American expe- dition arrived from Hoima.
