ROOT AMENDMENT
But Senator Penrose Says He
is Confident Amendments
Will be Killed on Floor
NOOTHER AMENDMENT
BEING CONSIDERED
Secretary Knox Refuses Co Say
as to Whether He Thinks
Amendment Will Kill Bill
WASHINGTON. June 7. Follow
ing four hours discussion of the Can
adian reciprocity bill by the senate
finance committee in executive soe
slon today Chairman Penrose ex
pressed the opinion that any amend'
ment which misfit be adopted by the
committee would be killed on the
floor of the senate. It was thought
at first that some compromise be
reached on the Root amendment on
the paper and wood pulp clause which
amendment has been objected to as
fatal to the agreement but such a
compromise was found Impossible. It
Is not believed that any amendment
other than that of probably Senator
Root will have even a chance of
adoption In committee.
The committee's deliberations today
were without result so far as vot
Ing on the bill or any amendment was
concerned and It was declared doubt
ful whether the committee would be
ready to report the measure tomor
row, Most of today' session was de
voted to debate over the Root amend
ment. That amendment provides that
It shall not be In force until the pres
ident Is satisfied and has 'Issued proc
lamation that wood pulp, paper and
board is being' admitted free of duty
from this country into all the prov
inces of Canada.
Secretary of State Knox was sum
moned before the committee to en
lighten it : as to any understanding
between the framers of the agreement
which, might efoa'sittD.aji. attuatloij'
as to the RaoUantendment: but - Sec
retary Knox told the committee that
they had the entire agreement before
them and had therefore as much
knowledge as he as to the effect of
any amendments they might make.
He declined to answer definitely the
question as to whether In his opinion
the Root amendment would kill the
measure'.

Iron Company by the United States
Steel corporation he, Mr. Gary, would
never have voted to consummate the

'You have no Idea," he said, "of
the financial freniy which possessed
New .York in that panic. It would
have been very easy for- that panic
