JKEJWEDY MURDER TRIAL NEARIXG
THE EXD.
The Prisoner Caused a Sensation in
the Courtroom Shreveport'Xe-
gxoes Escaped Lynching?.
KANSAS CITY. June 14. "When Mrs.
Kennedy entered the courtroom this morn
ing to hear the arguments to the Jury
before" whom she has been on trial for
the past 10 days for the murder of her
husband, Philip H. Kennedy, she appeared
In better health and spirits than- on any
day since the. case opened. She had
dressed carefully for the occasion and any
traces of a breakdown that she had dis
played yesterday hid disappeared. Every
available Jnch of space in the court
room was occupied by spectators.
Mrs. Kennedy paid little attention to the
many eyes directed toward her, -but
watched the Jury intently, scrutinizing
closelj the faces of each of the 12 men.
Asked how she felt, te prisoner said:
"They gave me some kind of a powder
a little while ago. I am going to be .brave
as possible'
On the opposite side of the aisle from
the Prince family were grouped Captain
Thomas Kennedy, a pioneer citizen of
Kansas City., his young daughter; Thom
as Kennedy. Jr., brother of the dead man,
and his wife. With the exception of the
Urst day of the trial, when the mother
and brother of Philip Kennedy appeared
as witnesses, none of Kennedj's Immedi
ate relatives, have been in the courtroom
before today The dead man's mother was
too in to be present even today.
The day's session was opened by "Pros
ecutor Hadley reading the Instructions to
the Jury. The prosecutor read with al
most dramatic effect, and the jury paid
unusual attention. Mrs. Kennedy look
ed squarely at the prosecutor, and
when he read that part referring
to murder in the first degree and
the attendant punishment of death her
lace did not change expression. When he
came to the 'instruction for manslaughter
she dropped .her head, but only for a mo
ment. Frank G. Johnson, ex-City Police
judge, then opened the argument for the
state. Johnson traced the killing of Ken
nedy by his wife of a month, telling how
she had palled him from his office and
shot him down without a moment's warn
ing, then cooly submitted to arrest.
Attorney Johnson declared emphatically
that the father and brothers of the de
fendant had helped her plan Kennedy's
murder, and " ha"d stationed themselves
about the -scene before It occurred.
"I say, gentlemen -of the Jury," conclud
ed he, "there Is evfdence to And this de
fendant guilty of murder In the first de
gree." The last words, given in thundering
tones, had "ho effect upon Mrs. Kennedy,
and a moment later when court took a
recess until 1 o'clock, she went to her
celLlBughlng jind chatting with the "dep
uty who 4ed"her.
At the-afternoon session,-Attorney Near
ing opened for the defense and demanded
acquittal. He declared that the state had
adduced nothing to prove the charge that
the Prince family had conspired to kill
Kennedy. The defendant, he said, had
shot him during a. condition of hysteria
bordering on insanity, after he had se
duced her, and after she had pleaded
with him in vain to live with her and
cover her shime. Mrs. Kennedy sobbed
audibly during Attorney Nearlngs appeal.
Charles E. Burnham, assistant Prose
.cutlng aitocneiv followed for the state,
decrying- the plea -of Insanity, declaring
that Case Patten and not Phil Kennedy
was responsible for her condition, and
that after the. Princes had. at the point
of revolvers, 'tried ta force money from
Kennedy, they hatched 4and helped Mrs.
Kennedjr cary puf-thejiriurder that she'
finally committed. K ' '
I. B. Klmbrell, also for the state, spoke
next He told of Kennedy having been
forced to marry the girl, and then having
been shot down because he dared ask
the courts to examine into fiis case.
"They "knew," "safd "he," "that the out
rage that had bien perpetrated would be
laid bare. They did not propose to let
Phil Kennedy go Into court and tell his
story."
At this point Mrs. Kennedy, who had
been laying her head on the table,
straightened and shrieked, "Oh, mercy.
Oh, mercy!" The prisoner leaned her face
on her father's shoulder, her face con
tracted In pain. Then Major W. L.
Woodson closed the argument for the
defense. At 11 o'clock a verdict had not
"been reached, and tne Jury was locked
up" for the night.
FIVE HANGED ON ONE GALLOWS.
End of n. Gang of Georgia Negro
Murderers.
SYLVANIA, Ga,. June 14. The hang
ing of five men on the same gallows at
the same time here today marked the end
of what Is thought to have been an or
ganized gang of murderers. The men ex
ecuted were Arnold Augustus, Andrew Da
vis, Richard Sanders, William Hudson and
Samuel Baldwin, all negroes. The vic
tims of their crime were Constable Mears
and Fillmore Herrlngton, whom they am
bushed and shot to death, and Captain
Wade, whom ihey seriously wounded. On
at least two occasions efforts were made
to lynch the murderers, but by the
prompt action of the officers they were
frustrated. On one of these occasions the
Governor found it necessary to order out
three companies of state militia. ffhe ex
ecution today was strongly guarded bv
local militia because of a rumor that an I
effort would, be made by negroes to ef
fect the rescue of the condemned. But
tnere was no 'disturbance, nor the sugges
tion of any. The hanging was in private,
the stockade being surrounded by a strong
coWon of troops. Five thousand persons
gathered in the village, but only about 40
ware admitted to the enclosure. The con
demned men maintained a stoical reserve.
refusing to confess or to talk about the 1
crime. They were attended by ministers
ofvtheir own race, who besought them to
ease their conscience by making acknowl
edgment of their sins. Still they refused
to 'talk. The five, shackled In chains, were
marched upon the gallows together. When
the trap fell, the necks of four were
snapped like reeds. The fifth struggled
foy five minutes and died of strangula
tion. The five bodies were cut down In
awmzzie oi rain. ..

;NEW ORLEANS. La., June lL-A. spec
ial to the Picayune from Shreveport. La.,
says a quiet crowd-, of men, had .decjded
Upon this afternoon as the time for lynch
ing Smith and his fellow suspects.. The
Koveraent was' stopped, however, by sev-
IN THE JURY'S
jeral of the near relatives of Jqhn. G.
Poster, who stated that they desired tOj
speak to the negroes before passing 'judg
ment on their cases. They will leave. for
Benton tomorrow to interview "Prophet"
Smith and others who are confined .with'
him. Upon the result of these Interviews
hinges the fate of the prisoners. The
correctness of this statement is borne
out by the fact that the Sheriff of Bos
sier Parish was Informed today of the
threatened lynching and threw an extra
guard around the prison In which the
mn and women are confined. This
guard is s'trong enough to protect the
prisoners if it will but act in good
faith.
Dr. Kennedy's Trial Nearly Ended.
NEW YORK, June 14. Assistant Dis

THERE WAS NO LOSS OF LIFE
Three Hundred Guests Imperilled by
Bnrnlngr of "West Bndcn Hotel.
WEST BADEN, Ind., June 14. Nearly
300 lives were Imperilled by the fire which
destroyed the celebrated Mineral Springs
Hotel at this place early today. The alarm
of fire came at 1 o'clock In the morning.
To add to the terror of the panic-stricken
guests, the electric light plant of tho
hotel failed a few minutes after the
alarm was given, and those guests who
did not face the flames were left to grope
their way out of the darkness of "the
great four-story wooden structure.
Though there were many narrow es
capes, It fs believed that not a single life
was lost. The register and books of the
hotel were burned, but during the day the
management had accounted for '26S per
sons who were in the great building, and
are confident there were no others. The
loss on the building is $250,030, with an In
surance of 5110,000. Most of the guests
lost all of their clothing and many of
them lost diamonds and jewelry. The ag
gregate of these losses, if is believed, is
fully $50,000. In the hotel safe, which
was found under the ruins, was $10,000,
which was deposited by the guests for
safe keeping. Many of the guests have
hurried to their homes, and those re
maining have found shelter at French
Lick.
The conflagration had its origin In the
kitchen, which was on the ground floor
of the hotel, immediately Under two rows
of sleeping rooms, all of which were oc
cupied. The night watchman attempted
to extinguish the 'blaze with hand buck
ets, but seeing that his attempts were in
vain, he rushed to the office, notifying the
night, clerk, and together they ran rapidly
through the halls, kicking open doors and
arousing the sleeping guests. All got out
safely.

IN AMERICAN HANDS.
Thirty-One Thousand Filipinos, Sur
rendered or Captured.
WASHINGTON, June 14. The War de
partment gavo out statistics today show
ing the extent of the disintegration of the
Filipino Insurrection. The compilation of
repprts covers the period up to April 17,

willingness to surrender 100 guns to Gen
eral Sumner tomorrow at Santa Cruz, and
to give up the remainder in three days.
Colonel Bolanos with five officers and 41
rifles has surrendered at Lipa, Batangas
Province.
The recent battle with the Insurgents at
Lipa, in which Lieutenant Springer was
killed and Captain Wllhelm and Lieuten
ant Lee were mortally wounded, was be
gun by the Americans. The dispropor
tionate number of officers hit is said to
be chargeable to the fact that there were
several deserters from the Americans
wlfh the rebels.

by rinderpest, and great havoc has been
caused by the disease.

PORTLAND MAN HONORED
ALBERT TOZIER. MADE PRESIDENT
OF' EDITORIAL ASSOCIATION.
Kext Convention Will Be Held at
Hot Springs, Ark. Jubilee Meet
ing of the Y. M. C. A.
BUFFALO, June 14. When the National
Editorial Association convened today, the
law committee precipitated a warm de
bate by submitting a report in favor of
excluding from the malls all newGpapers
that give premiums. John A. Slelcher, of
New- York, led the opposition to- the re
port, which was "finally adopted.
Albert Tozler, of Portland, Or., was
elected president, defeating G. A- Wlllard,
of Booneville, N. Y., by a vote of 242 to
152. The next convention will be held at
Hot Springs, Ark.
Mr. Tozler was put forward as the can
didate of the -Pacific Coast and is the
first president of the National Editorial
Association to be elected from this sec
tion of the United States. Two years
ago and again in 1900 he was elected first
vice-president, and the Oregon delegates,
believing him to be entitled to promo
tion, supported him for first place at
the Buffalo meeting. Mr. Tozler lives In
Portland when he Is not the Mark Twain
of Potosl Gulch, In his lonely cabin at
the junction of Potosl Creek and Amer
ican Gulch, near -Delta, Idaho, and Is

one of the' Oregon commissioners to
the Buffalo Exposition. He was born In
Cass County. Nebraska, In 1S60, and has
been a resident of Oregon for .many
years.
i:TERNATIONAL Y. M. C. A.
Interest Created by a Paper on Evo
lution. BOSTON, June 11. Today's sessions of
the International Y. M. C. A. were not
held under any designation, but were
grouped In sections, In order that de
partmental work might be discussed by
leaders. Naturally, Interest was very well
divided, and delegates were more general
ly scattered about In the churches than
at any time during the week. To the min
isterial delegates there came notices of
assignment to Boston pulpits for Sunday,
and that will be the day when the work
of the Y. M. C. A. will be brought to the
attention of the greatest number of peo
ple. Among the section meetings the most
striking incident occurred at that held In
the First BaRtist Church. Here Christi
anity and evolution came into clash
through a paper read by Dr. Wlnfield S.
Hall, of Chicago, on "Modern Tendency
of the Race." He discussed the racial de
velopment on the lines of the Darwinian
theory. There was a ripple in the1 audi
ence, and one elderly gentleman arose
and asked Dr. Hall as to the period when
the .soulless man became a man with
a soul. Dr. Hall apparently was vague in
the solution, In the opinion of some, when
he said he thought God would allow the
man with a soul to rise higher and higher,
both physically and mentally. Rev. Dr.
Plumb, who presided, arose to say:
"Then, according to that logic, the clock
In the Sjtrasburg Cathedral was once a
Waterbufy watch; It grew larger as a
watch, until It became a small clock, and
then It became a great cathedral clock."
Dr. Hall thought Rev. Dr. Plumb's ques
tloa answered Itself, and the incident was
"ended.-
At the meeting devoted to physical work
addresses were made by James D. Can
field. LL. D., of New York; Professor I.
B. Bosworth. of Oberlln College; William
Cayln, LL. D,, qf Toronto, and Rev. W.
W(. Whitet of Mont Clair, N. J. The de
votional exercises preceding the regular
session were conducted by W E. Sweet,
of Denver.
Duringthe afternoon the various phases
of association work were discussed In sev
eral city churches - and in Associatiop
Hall. An Interesting discussion of rail,
roati work occupied the time at Clarendon
Street Baptist Church, where B. D. Cald
well, the traffic manager of the Delaware,
Lackawanna & Western Ra.llroad occu
pied the chair. The speakers were R. S.
Logan, vice-president and general man
ager of the Central Vermont Railroad,
and George T. Coxhead, of St. Louis.
Many delegates were given a reception
by the Y. M. C. A. of Harvard University
in Phillips Brook's house, Cambridge.
Representatives of Germany, Holland,
Japan, India, Switzerland, England, Nor
way. France and Denmark made short
addresses. The evening meeting In Me
chanics' Hall was termed "college night,"
and the chief incident was the read
ing of a message of congratulation and
friendship from King Edward VII. It
was greeted with wild cheering and the
singing of "God Save the King" by the
audience. Field Marshal Lord Roberts
also sent a message, praising the work
of the association in the army. The
speakers Included President Patton, of
Princeton University; President Booker T.
Washington, of Tuskogee Institute, and
Luther Wishard. the first college secre
tary of the association.

MISLEADING INSrRUCTION.
Some Temperance Talk That Over
reaches Itself.
f New York Timesj
It is a gratifying indication of return
ing sanity7 among the friends of temper
ance that there is a - growing protest
among them against further teaching in
the schools of alleged facts about alco
hol and its effects upon the human sys
tem which are demonstrably false and
misleading. This Is also finding intelli
gent expression in the educational jour
nals, and many professional teachers of
sound judgment and wide experience are
taking the' -ground that text-books which
masquerade as physiologies, but are writ,
ten mainly with a view to attributing to
alcohol qualities and effects which are at
variance with truth and reason, do more
harm than good to the temperance causer.
Evidently, the truth should be sufficient
for the purposes In view, but to tell It
would Involve what, the temperance- re
formers consider dangerous admissions.
The extremists among the teetotalers
seem to hojd to the view that anything1
which can be said about the- evil effects
of alcohol, whether true or false, is Jus
tified by the benefits to result from dis
couraging its use. As nothing can be said
against it which they are not ready to
believe, the more a text-book insults the
Intelligence -of the student by expecting
him to accept what he soon learns Is not
true, or, if based on truth. Is distorted
and exaggerated out of all recognition,
the stouter the defense of it by the oyer
zealous representatives of the prohibi
tion propaganda.
The immediate storm center of this,con
trbversy is Connecticut. The boo"ks pre
scribed by the law at that state for use
n schools contain the most extravagant
statements, and have called opt a forcible
protest from 50 conservative and con
scientious an educator as Professor W. N.
Rice, bf Wesleyan University. Among
other things taught the pupils of Connecticut-public
schools, he finds two state
ments side by side which are somewhat
difficult to reconcile. One is that about
one-half the commitments to Insane asy
lums are due" to overindulgence on "tho
part of the persons so committed in alco
holic stimulation. The other Js that more
persons become insane through the uso
of tobacco than because of alcohol. The
Intelligent pupil will reason that if about
one-half the Insane become so from drink
ing, and more than one-half by smoking,
there cannot very well be any other
causes at work, ana 11 ne speculates
where to p!ace the very large proportion
of cases due to paresis, religious excita
tion, melancholia, ccldent, etc,, he can
not, very well resist the conclusion that
he has been imposed upon by text-book
writers who are either Ignoramuses or
cranks, or perhaps" both. This agitation
in favor of excluding from the schools
pseudosclentific Instruction, which Is
false and misleading; makes for good. If
the temperance moyement cannot thrive
on the truth, it should not expect to gain
headway by methods which invite pro
tests from conscientious and self-respecting
educators.
A Political Inawlry.
HONOLULU, Jurie '?, vliu "San 'Francisco,
June l4.--Judge- A. S. Humphreys, 'of the
Circuit Court,- has ordered the grand
Jury to investigate the accounts of the
Home Rule party for the purpose of as
certaining where their campaign funds
came from, and for what purpose they
were spent, Tnis action is taken as the
result of the claim that the Home Rule
members of the Legislature partook of
lunches at a well-known restaurant and
permitted the owner of a street-car line,
which was after a railway franchise, to
pay for the meals.
An attempt is being made by some of
the Home Rule Senators to have the Gov
ernor grant a second extra, session, or,
at least, extend the present one, which Is
now drawing to close. They assert that
they desire to pass the loan bill, which
Is Impossible at the present session, which
was culled for the sole purpose of pass
ing the appropriation meaure.
Commissioner PeckK Report.
WASHINGTON, June 14. Commissioner
Peck's report on the Paris Exposition of
1300 has been put into tjpe at thq Govern
ment printing office, and the first vol
ume Is expected to come from the bindery
tomorrow. The report makes over 3000
pages, divided Into six volumes and illus
trated with 500 plates and 50 maps. The
law required the report to be delivered to
the President within four month after the
close of the Exposition. This brought the
report to the last session of Congress just
before adjournment, and too late to se
cure a joint resolution authorizing the
reporjt to be printed for general distribu
tion As" a consequence, there will be only
one copy printed at this time for each
metaoer of Congress, and the usual num
ber" for the different departments of the
Government and the designated 'deposi
tory libraries.
Forged Newspaper Coupons.
BUTTE, Mont., June 14. The question
as to whether it Is forgery to repro

D. K. Walton, an employe of the Peo

charged with forging coupons and selling
them. He was released on ball. The

FUTURE OF THE CUBAN "PROBLEM.
Vicvra of Senators' and Representa
tives on Action of Convention.
NEW YORK, June 14. The Washington
correspondent of the Times has Inter
viewed members of the Senate and House
upon the future of Cuba by the adoption
of the Piatt "amendment by the constitu
tional convention with the following re
sults: Representative Hepburn, of Iowa, ex
pressed gratification at the action of the
Cuban Constitutional Convention, but he
has grave doubts about the success of the
people In undertaking to govern them
selves. "I .should like to see every political tie
between the United States and Cuba sev-
' ered,, he said, "but ,1 realize that we
wiut De ODiigea to exercise some sort 01
supervision Qver the island. In my opin
ion the Cubans arq not capable of self
government, and my prediction is that in
12., months the Cubans will be at each
others throats. Then perhaps we will be
j. forced to. Intervene. I should regard It
as. ,a great misfortune If the United
States should ever annex the island, with
its turbulent people. Guerrilla warfare
against our authority would go on in the
Island, and It would cost us much In
blood and treasure to suppress It. I re
member that the United States enlisted
31,000 men to put down the Indians In
Fldrlda, and when they were finally
rounded up therfe were exactly 71 of them.
The situation in the Philippines
is different. We can take con
trol of. all the larger cities and
towns, and let the natives learn grad
ually with the lapse of years that obe
dience to our authority Is to their interest.
"To go back to Cuba, we must bear
In mind that those people we have been
dealing with are children, and I am afraid
they are pretty bad children, Just as
little qualified to govern themselves as x
many youngsters."
Senator Cockrell says that Cuba must
be dealt with deliberately, and not cut
loose unprepared to stand alone.
"I believe that things will run along
smoothly now," said the Senator. "The
Cubans did the right thing in accepting
the amendment, and this Government
will deal fairly with them. All that was
needed was a thorough understanding,
that has been reached, with the result
tha.t they have accepted our terms. Of
course we cannot Immediately withdraw
from the Island. No reasonable person
expects that, and there Is no authority to
whom we could turn over the govern
ment. "The next step, and one which It Is ab
solutely necessary to take. Is for the con
vention to pass election laws fixing a
date for the election of a President and
other1 officers of the government, as pro
vided for In their constitution. Under
this law the military government will call
an election, .and when all the machinery
of government is organized we will turn
I over affairs, to them, but not until then.
.This will require some time, how long 1
cannot say, tyit it will. I believe, be dpne
within reasonable Itmltatlon.','
Benator Burrows was pleased at the ac-
ttnn nf t'h Inhnn HonRtltntlonal Conven-
ptibn'ln accepting the Piatt amendment.
'Thls action," pe saidt "dueht to lead
to Bjieedy and desirable results It ought
to!be followed by Cuban Independence
apcl a home government. There will soon
oe notning m tne way or tne- esiaonsn
ment of a republic in Cuba, and I expect
to see thntj accomplished and troops'wlth
drawn. The Republic of Cuba will short
ly, be one of the nations of the earth. We
are now fulfilling our promises to Cuba
and to the nations of the world."
Speakihc of Cuba, Senator Elftlns said:
"I always believed the Cubans would
accept. They have simply been playing
and dickering for the best terms they
could get. What they have done Is the
best thing that could have happened to
Cuba. Nb people have ever obtained their
independence before at such a small cost
of blood and money. This Government
has dealt most liberally with Cuba more
liberally than any other government
would nave done."
"'WITHDRAWAL OF TROOPS.
President Has No Authority to Do It
at Once.
' NEW YORK, June 14.-A special to the
Tribune from Washington says:
The acceptance of the PlaU amendment
without qualification by the CTian conuti.
tutional convention will form one of the
Cabinet meeting. Saturday. Now that
the Piatt amendment has become part
of the organic laws of Cuba, in
terest naturally Is aroused as to when
the President will be authorized to with
draw the United States troops and turn
the island completely over to the Cubans.
The Cabinet probably will address Itself
to this phase of the question at Satur
day's meeting. However, as there is no
division of opinion among Cabinet mem
bers on this point, the discussion Is not
likely to be prolonged.
There Is no doubt at all In the. mind of
anybody who has given the subject much
thought that the President Is not author
ized to withdraw the troops immediately.
On the cohtrarj'i he cannot do this until
all the requirements of the Tlatt law
have been compiled with. Accept
ance of that law is only the beginning of
the requisite compliance on the part of the
Cubans.
Not until they have a fully or-
ganized, equipped and stable government
will the Cubans be permitted to conduct
the affaires of the Island. How soon this
will be depehds entirely on the political
leaders in Cuba, and largely on, the con
stitutional convention. Tho convention
muK,t first formulate an electoral law.
It is thought that several weeks, and per
haps months, will be consumed in this
work, as the candidates for Preeldent and
Other offices to be filled In the flrbt elec
tion will each try to have the law so
framed as to give advantage to Individ
uals. Eyen If the constitutional convention
should speedily formulate and promulgate
the electoral jaw, the election could not be
held pntll Autumn. After the election,
considerable time will be required to or
ganize tho various departments of the
government. After this work Is completed,
the United States Government will then
for the flm time have a government in
Cuba to deal with, and not until then can

all the requirements of the Piatt law be
complied with.
It Is evident, therefore, that this Gov
ernment" will not entirely release control
of Cuba for several months, perhaps a
year or more, and until a complete release
Is made the President cannot withdraw
.the United States military forces from
the Island and proclaim to the world the
birth of the new republic.
ISTHMIAN CANAL TRAFFIC.
ProStable Tolls Not the Only Point
at Issne.
Chicago Tribune.
Aldace F. Walker, chairman of the
board of directors of the Santa Fe Rail
road, discusses the preliminary report of
the Isthmian Canal Commlslon In the
Forum. He devotes special attention to
the portion of the report written by Pro
fessor Emory R. Johnson, on which Sen
ator Morgan based a statement that "as
an Investment, the NIcaraguan Canal
will earn a highly remunerative profit on
a cost of even $200,500,000." Mr. Walker
places no confidence in. these sanguine
views. He goes deeply Into statistics to
show that It is extremely doubtful wheth
er the receipts from the canal would pay
the necessary operating and maintenance
expenses, to say nothing of Interest on
the original Investment.
The transcontinental railways have
never been enthusiastic friends of the
isthmian canal project, and probably Mr.
Walker's connection with one of these
roads Influences his attitude somewhat.
though he says the canal would not be
able to take much traffic from the rail
roads. "The roads may have to reduce
their rattes," he admits, "but they may
be relied upon to keep their business."
To the shipping public a reduction of rail
rates would be fully as desirable as cash
profits on the canal Investment. Many
of the facts stated by Mr. Walker, how
ever, tend to show that he Is right In say
ing that the canal would be financially
unprofitable.
Professor Johnson has estimated that
the Nicaragua Canal would have an avail
able tonnage of 7,500,000 In 1914, of which
3,400,000 tons would be United States
freight?. Mr. Walker discounts this esti
mate by showing that it took the Suez
Canal 12 years to get up to a total of 3,400,
000 tons from all sources. Though the
Nicaragua Canal would be twice as long
and twice as costly as the Suez Canal,
Professor Johnson has based his estimates
on a toll of Jl a ton, or one-half the Suez
toll. If th American canal were to start
in with the present tonnage of trne Suez
Canal, the total traffic receipts would be
only $9,000,000 a year at this rate. Mr.
Walker estimates that trne cost of main
tenance and operation alone would be
$10,000,000 annually. He also adduces many
effective arguments to show that a good
deal of the potential tonnage counted upon
by Professor Johnson would avoid rne
canal on account of the tolls.
On the whole, Mr. AValker may be said
to have made a good point as to the
doubtful nature of the direct profits to be
received from canal tolls. But the people
of the United States have never regarded
the project as a money-making enterprise.
They are thlnklrg of the naval and mili
tary advantages to be gained. The weeks
of suspense while the Oregon was making
Its way around Vhe Horn impressed the
people with the fact that an isthmian ca
nal was needed for National defeise. There
are also internal economic effects of such
a canal which appeal to the public more
strongly than they do to Mr. Walker To
prove t'hat the canal would not get enough
traffic to pay cash dividends is not equiva
lent to proving that It would be an un
profitable investment for the Nation.
ALASKA LIGHTHOUSES.
Contractors Show Much Irregnlarlty
In Their Bids.
WASHINGTON, June 14. The Light
house Board has been considerably em
barrassed of late In letting the contract
for erecting the lighthouses at Five Fing
ers Island and Sentinel Islands, In Alaska,
because of the Irregularities of the
contractors In submitting bids. Tho
lowest bidder of all IS of Juneau, and ne
gotiations are now being exchanged with
him. with a view to converting his propo
sition Into regulation form. If this can
not be done, the contract will have to be
awarded to another bidder. Captain
Langfltt at Portland has the matter in
charge; in fact, it was he who opened
the bids. Already the contract for the
lights for these two stations has been let
to a Baltimore bidder, who Is to ship
them to Portland for transmission to
Alaska when the houses are completed.

"Wooden dummies, wearing metal

resolutions declaring that the war which
they had made upon capital and power
had not met with success. So they or

bought the wooden dummies."
