WASHINGTON. Aug. 19.—President Taft and his cabinet yesterday discuss ed the Panama canal bill, and the question of a possible presidential veto of the measure. Every member of Mr. Taft's official family who was in town was present, and the discussion lasted for an hour after luncheon time, but no decision was reached. The presi dent’s inclination, it was said today, is to approve the bill, but he is anxious to have provisions made for a legal test of the matter of free tolls for American ships The cabinet was un derstood to agree with him that there is basis for believing that the bill with the free tolls clause in it. is not In conformity with the Hay-Pauncefote treaty. When the conference was over the president was still of the opinion that the best way to test the bill's agree ment with hie treaty was to have the United States supreme court pass upon it. He will confer with senate and house leaders in the next few days, and will devote most of his own time to pondering over this one bill. Most of the Republican leaders in both houses, and probably some of the leading Dem ocrats will be called into consultation, and the bill will be gone over with care. \Vife No. 4—Edna <Umtli’ii’li. ■ W F F O? 7 I I A > —-u 'jo? s- Bml IF J 1 80$*.
