"If I start to tolling things," said he, "it will reach a long ways, but I can't make up my mind that I am going to tell all. The graft situation in New York is so far reached .that this in- vestigation will last well into next year. They can't nt throt4th with it.

The Senate modified this Ti.ouse provision so that it would apply only to ships "opera ted through the Pana ma Canal," In lieu of the flat prohibititm which the House had against all railroad ownership. the Senate also adopted an emendment empowering the Interstate Commerce Commission to determine On its own motion whether the ownership lee any railroad of a eteamebip line .11ele prejudicial to the public interests end to compel If necessary, the divesting of the steamship holdings.

With a meeagase of disapproval, the President returned to Congress the bill evolved. as a, 'compromiee between the Houee. and Senate, holding that ite lOW ratea would bring disaster to, home in- dustries. He appealed to Congress, how- ever, not to adjourn until it had ena.ct- ed. at measure to "substantially reduce tumeeessary existing duties" withoue deetroying protection for the wool in- dustry in the United States. The Preeident's disapproval of the wool bill is to lee followed with similar vetoes of the steel bill and the cotton bill, The sugar bill is likely to be vet- . oed, as it is the ex.eise tax bill, the lat- 1 ter probably on the ground that the President believes it uneonetitutional. "1 shall stand by my pledges to main- tain a 'degree of protection necessary to offset the differences in coet of pro- duction here and abroad, and will, heart. ily approve of any bill reducing duties 1 to this level," wrote Mr. Taft. While the bill vetoed to -day and the one dieapproved hut year were iden- Oval in warns, the President's reason% differed. lee vetoed the former bill be- cause it had been framed before the tariff boards,' report -the latter because he said it had been framed with disre.
