provision of the Panama canal act
exempting American coastwise ship?
from tolls, favored by President Wil

sideration and action by a democratic
caucus of the Senate. That this
would be a wise and necessary course
in the interest of party harmony and
the nation's foreign policy, is the
conclusion of administration senators
who have discussed the subject with
the Prerildcut within tbe last few
days. The President today told call
ers he did not intend to send a mes
sage to Congress on the subject.
How soon the caucus will be called
has joot been determined, but several
senators today frankly asserted that
the* democrats would get together to
weigh the situation as presented by
the President and Rettle for them
selves the whole hey. T'io feet t>mt
the democratic party endorsed tin
toll exemption policy at the Balti

President Wilson hold, should rot
be a subject of open controversy nt
this ' time, because conditions In
