THE OBSERVER CENTRAL. CITY • • COLORADO SPECIAL LAW PLAN REJECTED SENATE REFUSES RIGHT TO FOR EIGNERS TO TEST TOLLS IN COURT. TAFT MAY SIGN BILL LEADERS SAY SUPPLEMENTARY RESOLUTION WILL NOT BE PASSED. Western Newspaper Union News Service. Washington.—The Panama joint resolution asked for by President Taft In a special message to Congress to make clear the rights of foreign ship owners to carry into American courts the question of free tolls in the Pana ma canal was turned down by the Senate committee on interoceanic canals. By a vote of 8 to 6 the committee decided not to report the resolution asked for by President Taft. This is taken by leaders of the Senate to mean that there will be no resolution adopted supplementary to the Panama canal bill which now awaits the Presi dent’s signature. The resolution has not been formally introduced in either House, but the Senate committee took a direct vote on the proposal. The request of the President was for a special law that would permit the United States courts to determine whether the Panama canal bill, in giv ing free tolls to American coastwise vessels, violated those sections of the Hay-Pauncefote treaty which guaran tees equal treatment to the ships of all nations. The Democrats of the Senate voted against the proposed resolution with the exception of Senator Thornton of I^ouisiana. President Taft’s second veto of the legislative, executive and judicial ap propriation bill will find the House prepared to pass the bill again over his veto, according to House leaders.
