The Senator from New York prepared a written report. which I have here. which I will ask to have printed in the REcoRD with the bill. It is the reenactment of section 10 of the Panama Canal act. and extends its provisions somewhat further in relalion to the incursion of people on the Canal Zone than the anthorities there think ought to be included. The law at present allows the governor. subject to the approval of the President. to make rules and regulations and enforce them concerning residents upon the Canal Zone and passing across it. but it does not authorize the President to make regulations concerning the deportation of any person who may be there or the control of the vessels which bring them there and dump them upon the canal. This amendment of the act also provides penalties for the attempt to injure the locks or blowing tip the canal. or any such trespasses. It leaves the penalty for a violation as that the same as it was in the original act.
