BT WOODWORTH CI.IM.
PANAMA, April 13. (Special Corre
spondence.) To walk the railroad ties
from the Atlantic to the Pacific would be
considered something extraordinary up
in the States. But here we have ac
complished it in seven days, and even at
that have spent much time in restful ob
servance. They say it is only in miles from ocean
to ocean as the crow files, but I took the
'"Jim crow" route, and it was fifty of the
longest miles I ever walked.
Our intermittent reveries have been dis
turbed by the shrill shriek of the engine
whistle as the trains came swinging
round the curves, and we have stepped
back within the portals of dreamland,
when, above the rustling of the palms, we
' have heard the languorous folk song's of
Jamaica. We have discovered that no
work is being done on the canal project
xcept in the vicinity of Culebra. We
have encountered much progress in the
construction of barracks and homes for
the employes of the Government.
Sanitarians Dwell In Paradise. -
From Culebra to Panama there are only
three points of general interest Paraiso,
Mlraflores and Coroial the last-named
town being famous for its hotel that is
said to have been built In a Jtollow.
Paraiso, which in English would be Para
dise, is well named. Her hills, of their
own volition, yield a bountiful supply of
the purest water, and it is here that the
sanitary inspection department of the
Canal Zone has made its headquarters.
Also an industrious manufacturer of
sparkling drinkables has here established
a modern plant, and his evident prosper
ity is a most eloquent testimonial to the
undying thirst of the people.
The buildings of the sanitary depart
ment of the Canal Zone are scattered
on the hillside. The altitude Is healthful:
the vista beautiful; the water refreshing;
the aJr almost exhilarating. No wonder
the typewriters seem inspired when they
turn out reports concerning the sanita
tion on the Zone. No wonder Colon, near
ly 40 miles away, has been forgotten.
- At Mlraflores we find the insane depart-
ment the buildings where persons of
. more or less unsound mind are confined.
' pending treatment or transportation to
their respective homes. The town con
sists of a score or more small houses or
wards, and the unfortunate inmates, are
' well taken care of by a corps of attend
ants and nurses. A physician Informed
me that the proportion of insanity was
no greater on the Zone than in any other
tropical or semi-tropical country. As I
walked through the village one enthusi
astic cltlson ' wearing scarcely enough
rlothes to flag a hand-car thrust his face
, VP against a window and pleaded with me
to get him an overcoat and some blankets.
lie professed to be on the point of freez
ing to death, and the thermometer on the
iwrch registered 90 degrees in the shade.
Famous Hotel of Corozal.
Then we come to the famous hotel at
Ooroxal a monument to governmental
.fallibility. One rather severe critic de
clared that the structure was built in a
. " hog wallow." Mr. Stevens, in answering
this charge, says:
This hotel, which was built largely for
the use of the clerical force of the com
mission it Panama, was located before
the present chief engineer was connected
with the work. It was located undoubt
edly after due consideration and as the
result of the best Judgment, and the
statement that it Is located down in a
depression of land which became a lake,
or rather a vast hog-wallow, when it
rnlned, is entirely untrue. The hotel
itself Is built on a Tlse of ground which
slopes from it in all directions, affording
good drainage, and, while there were
some marshes In the vicinity, these have
been thoroughly drained, and there Is not
one particle of evidence that the health
of the employes living in this hotel or
In dwelling-houses Immediately adjacent
is not as good as anywhere elso on the
.isthmus. If any doubt is cast upon this
statement, the hotel Is there and the
ground is there today, and its topograph
ical conditions have not changed in the
. least since the construction of the hotel."
Abandoned Because of Swamp.
Mr. Stevens was oorerct in one thing at
least "the hotel is there, the ground is
there, and the topographical conditions
have not changed." . But the hotel is not
built on a "rise of ground." Neither is It
built in a "hog-wallow." The site is be
twixt and between a low. almost level
stretch of land, that afterward proved so
difficult of drainage that further building
on it was abandoned. On the left of the
hotel I found a forest of low concrete
piers a graveyard filled with tombstones
upon whose rough surfaces were no words
of sentiment or sorrow.
"What are these for?" I asked.
"Oh, those are the cement piers that
were to have been used as foundations
for some Government buildings," replied
one of the hotel employes.
"And where are the buildings?" I per
sisted. "When they finished the piers." said my
informant. "Colonel Gorgas Inspected the
site and declared it undesirable. He said
that the ground was too low and that it
would take 50 men working all the time
to keep the place draineu. Consequently
the site was abandoned."
Yes. Mr. Stevens, the ground is still
there, and so are the concrete piers. The
other'' Government buildings have been
erected some distance away. Evidently a
mistake was made somewhere."
. Just Pride In Hospitals.
Continuing 'on into Panama, we .en
counter. ' Just within the boundaries of
the Canal Zone, the village of Ancon
more properly a suburb of Panama, but
different In that it Is owned and gov
erned by the United States. Like Paraiso
and Culebra and Empire, the buildings
cling tenaciously to the hillside, grouped
In artistic irregularity. Here we find the
headquarters of Colonel Gorgas. chief of
the medical department, and of Major
Carter, also of the medical corps, who is
at the head of the hospitals. A trip
through the Ancon hospitals impels the
observer to agree with Mr. Shonts, who
said; "The hospitals are a source of
Just pride to our people. If sickness
rould ever be regarded as a boon, it may
be so thought of In Ancon and Colon."
Everything is pleasingly clean. Precision,
regularky and professional competency
-are evident everywhere. As far as I
could ascertain, complaints are of mall
clous origin, and consequently not worth
serious consideration. For instancy, one
inmate of the Colon hospital, who' was
convalescing from an attack of malarial
fever, declared In most positive terms
that during his Incarceration there bad
been three deaths from what the doctor
diagnosed as "malaria," but that he and
one or two other patients knew the vic
tims died of yellow fever.
My Informant stated that the wrong
diagnoses were . deliberately made, for
fear of adverse public criticism. But I
am Inclined to the belief that this story
and most Of the other arraignments of
the hospitals are the hallucinations of
disease and without foundation in truth.
In fact, the negro laborers are -so pleased
with the hospitals that they refer to them
affectionately as "rest houses."
Police Force of All Nations.
Captain Shanton, chief of the zone po
lice, has Just moved his headquarters to
Ancon. and I understand that it is the
ultimate purpose of the Canal' Commis
sion to permanently establish its .ad
ministrative offices there. On our walk
across the isthmus we encountered at
every station (and sometimes between
the stations) bright, intelligent men,
young in years, of fine physique and
courteous temperament. They were all
attired in khaki riding trousers, leather
chaps or legglns. khaki blouse and army
hat. and upon their left breasts they
wore badges Inscribed "Zone Police."
This force of "brown-coated guardians
of the peace" Is about as cosmopolitan
and interesting an organization as there
is in the world. The Chief of Police is
a veteran of the Spanish-American war
a man about 40 years of age. with a big
frame and a big heart, an accessible ear
and an easily Induced smile. He likes
his men. and they like him, and I must
say that Captain Shanton Is about the
only official of the canal administration
against whom I have not heard severe
criticism.
As to the. men they are from every
where. The officers are white, and the
privates, with afew exceptions, are
black. Some have 'served in the Spanish
American war (both in Cuba and the
Philippines); some served with the Brit
ish army in South Africa, and they while
away their Idle hours with tales of the
campaign against the Boers; others
fought with the English standard in
India, In Tibet, and elsewhere, while the
majority have been members of the
Jamaican constabulary or soldiers In the
British West Indian regiment
Black Police Are Linguists.
Most of the black policemen speak
three languages. A few of the white
men are Just as talented In this regard,
but the majority of them converse only
in English and Spanish. It Is not a bit
extraordinary to see a Jamaican police
man go up to a crowd of French
speaking Martinique negroes, chat with
them In French, ascertain the trouble,
and arrest the law-breaker. He will then
carry his prisoner before a Spanish
speaking magistrate after having made
his report to his sergeant in English.
Receiving his Instructions in English, he
will relate the circumstances to the
Spanish magistrate, translating the en
tire proceedings Into French for the
benefit of the prisoner. How many of
our Washington or New Tork policemen
could do this?
There are no "plain clothes" men on
the canal force. Captain Shanton says
he does not need them. He says that the
race prejudices are so strong that, if a
Jamaican breaks the law. .a . Spaniard
will betray him to the police; that the
French negro will tell on the Jamaican
or the Spaniard; that the Jamaican will
tell on the Spaniard or the Frenchman,
and that all of them will "peach" on the
Panamanians. With this condition of
affairs very little detective work is neces
sary, and the offender is pretty sure of
being apprehended.
Small Percentage of Crime.
Taking in the entire zone, with its 20,
000 or more population, the percentage of
law-breakers is exceedingly small, and
the number of arrests is gradually di
minishing. One policeman Is stationed
on each of the passenger trains, to act
as a guide and protector of the people,
and to lend that degree of moral suasion
kthat ofttimes prevents the .violation of
Ahe law. They go with the conductor
itnhen he collects fares, and they are al
ways handy in case of a disturbance.
Before these policemen were put on the
trains Captain Shanton told me there
had been considerable trouble with oc
casional unruly passengers. I have seen
this authority abused by the zone police,
but no more so than I have observed in
our leading American cities. As an or
ganization they are effective, and prone
only to those imperfections and short
comings that are common to human
kind.
From Ancon we walk into Panama, bnt
it is late In the evening. Tomorrow we
will tour the city, visit its suburbs, and
linger in the shade of the fortress that
was sacked "by Morgan and his buc
caneers. SIR HUoTlsiE DERBY
FAVORITE THE MOST HEAVILY
BACKED IN" HISTORY.
Great Event In Kentucky Brings Out
Close Start, but Winner's
Staying Power Tells.
LOUISVILLE. May 2. Sliding along
with a machine-like precision, which
seemed more like the movement of a
steam engine than a horse. Sir Huon. a
Falsetto colt, sire of Ignata, and start
ing for the first time as a three-year-old,
won the 32d Kentucky Derby today. Al
ways the favorite in the betting, Sir
Huon, owned by George J. Long, of Louis
ville, won with apparent ease, the Elli
son entries. Lady INavarre and James
Reddlck. finishing second and third. It
was the opening day of the Spring meet
ing of the new Louisville Jockey Club,
and between 25.000 and 30.000 people packed
the enclosure at the time the Derby was
run. The time of the big race, 2:08 3-5,
was considered good for the track, which
was a trifle slow. The betting on the
Derby was the heaviest ever known, all
the starters except Velours finding good
support.
Reddlck Leads at Start.
The field was away almost Immediately
1 to a fair start, with James Reddlck in
the lead, but that animal drew back
behind Lady Navarre, who was ranged
alongside Sir Huon. Passing the grand
stand, Hyperion II was out in front and
going as though he had seen a ghost.
Sir Huon was slipping along easily two
and a half lengths behind the leader,
with Lady Navarre and Reddick hang
ing on his flank. These positions were
maintained until half a mile had been
accomplished. Hyperion II footing it at
a rate calculated to stand an ordinary
field of horses on their heads. After
going this far, Hyperion seemed to tire
for an Instant and dropped back on even
terms with Sir Huon.- He came again,
however, and led to the half mile pole.
Sir Huon Pulls In Front.
Between the half mile pole and the
head of the stretch Sir Huon, half a
length in front, was successfully chal
lenged by Lady Navarre and James Red
dlck, but the favorite, beautifully rated,
strode along In his chosen position and
they could not pass him. The favorite
continued to draw slowly away and passed
under the wire a winner by a length and
a half, and apparently holding some of
the reserve, James Reddick was two
lengths behind his stable mate. The
Derby had a guaranteed value of JoOOO
to the winner.

Chairman W. R. Stubbs said:
The greatest problems of history confront
us today. I hope that the party will go
right ahead and meet these, and will speak
the unvarnished truth.
The greatest robber Is the (steel Trust,
which has been made so by an unreason
able protective tariff. "We look to our
matchless President Roosevelt to meet these
great corporations. ' ' -
The habit prevails in our Judiciary system
of deciding greet issues on technical mat
ters. Great vnoney owners go "scot free"
for wholesale robberies, when poor citizens
Uke you and me are punished for the merest
offense. Our Judges are not sufficiently
paid. We need more of the Roosevelt Idea.
I-et us so act today that we will not be
ashamed to go home to our people and can
say we were a free and untrammeled con
vention, not one led by a coterie of poli
ticians here a week beforehand. If we do
that, we will go before the people invin
cible and impossible of defeat.
Henry J. Allen, who had been work
ing for Judge Clark for Governor,
moved In the Interest of harmony that
a committee be appointed representing
all factions to select the temporary
chairman. This motion finally was
tabled.
Then ex-Governor William J. Bailey
moved that A. TV. Smith, the candi
date of the machine crowd, be named.
The motion was seconded by Allen and
carried.
Mr. Smith then made his Inaugural
speech, saying in part:

into consideration th Integrity and the
patriotism of the delegates. '
Diplomacy and genius have taken thl.
state from obscurity and brought It Into the
most public focus. History Is repeating- its
great achievements. Wo all cherish the
principles of the Republican party here in
Kansas. Nowhere is it greater than here in
Kansas. There Is no state in the Union
whose statute books glisten with better,
fairer and more humane laws than In Kan
sas. On the committee on resolutions, J.
S. Dean, of Marion, was made chair
man. The resolutions adopted reaffirm the
party's pride "in the history and
achievements of the national organiz
ation and adherence to Its principles."
They continue:
The wisdom of its financial policy so
fiercely antagonized is now universally con
ceded, while its protective policy provokes
controversy only between revisionists and
standpatters.
Under the magic of these wise policies the
country has vaulted to the front rank among
the nations in finance, manufactures, in
material development and in general pros
perity, while its wage-earners find remun
eration twice as great as under any other
flag.
The vigorous, able and wise administra
tion of President Roosevelt commands -our
approval; as It has won the plaudits of our
countrymen, regardless of party. We espe
cially approve his demand for the regula
tion of railroad rates and commend our Sen.
ators and Representatives In Congress for
their support of this policy.
The resolutions demand the abolish
ment of freo railway passes, except to
regular employes.
While waiting for the various com
mittees to report, the convention
amused itself by calling: for speeches

man Phil P. Campbell was the first to
respond and eulogized the Republican

William H. Taft, Secretary of War. de
livered the final address in the Dodge
foundation course of Yale University
last night on "The Responsibilities of
Citizenship." He treated the subject
from the standpoint of the National
Executive.
Following the address, a larare recep
tion was given to Mr. Taft by Presi
dent Hadley and the faculty of Tale.
Preliminary to his address, Mr. Taft
referred to sensational newspaper at
tacks upon public men and unwarrant
ed press hostility and misrepresenta
tion of policies of a National admin
istration. He said that In general such
attacks did little harm.
He paid a high tribute to the news
correspondents resldnt In Washing
ton, and said that the amount of in
formation given to them by adminis
trative officials, and even the Presi
dent himself, would amaze the general
public.
Of legislation, he said:
"It Is encouraging to men close to
headquarters in Washington to find
how much less Influential private in
terests are in securing beneficial legisla
tion for themselves than is generally
held to be the case. Speaking gener
ally, the people In the end get the kind
of legislation they want, although It
sometimes takes one or two or three
Congresses to reach It."
Toward the conclusion of his address
Judge Taft paid a glowing tribute to
the efficiency of the civil service in
Washington.
