His Control Over Commission Will

to Be Provided.
WASHINGTON. May 9. President
Roosevelt had a long conference today
vvltti Secretaries Hay and Taft and Attorney-General
Knox, at -which the regu
lations to govern the Isthmian Canal Com
pany were determined on finally.
"While the creation and work of the
commission is committed by law to the
President, whose authority In that re
gard Is practically supreme, the President,
by the regulations, directs that the com
mission sftall exercise Its power under the
direction and supervision of the Secre
tary of War. General George W. Davis,
the Army member of the commission, is
appointed Governor of the American zone
on the isthmus. Until the' expiration of
the 58th Congress, the Isthmian Com
mission will exercibo legislative authority
over the American strip. The Commis
sion will be under the same sort of con
trol of the Secretary of War as Is the
Philippine Commission.
The President's formal instructions
to the Canal Commission were issued
late this afternoon. They are embodied,
In a letter to the Secretary of War.
After reciting the steps taken under
legislative authority as a primary to
the work of actual construction and
directing that the work vested in the
commission be carried on or exercised
under the supervision or the direction
of the War Department, the letter gives
the following instructions:
"Subject to the limitations of law
and the conditions herein contained, the
Isthmian Canal Commlsison are author
ized and directed:
"First To make all needful rules
and regulations for the government of
the zone and for the correct adminis
tration of military, civil and judicial
affairs of its possessions until the close
of the 5Sth Congress.
Civil Service to Be Established.
"Second To establish a civil service
for the government of the strip and
construction of the canal, appointments
to which shall be secured as nearly as
practicable by a merit system.
"Third To make, or cause to be
made, all needful surveys, borings, de
signs, plans and specifications of the
engineering, hydraulic and sanitary
works required and to supervise the
execution of the same.
"Fourth To make and cause to be
executed, after due advertisement, all
necessary contracts for any and all
kinds of engineering and construction
works.
"Fifth To acquire by purchase, or
through proper and uniform appropria
tion proceedings to be prescribed by
the commission, and private lands or
other real property whoso ownership
by the United States Is essential to the
excavation and completion of the canal.
"Sixth To make all needful rules
and regulations respecting an economi
cal and correct disbursement, and an
accounting for all funds that may be
appropriated by Congress for the con
struction of the canal, its auxiliary
works and the government of the canal
zone, and to establish a proper and
comprehensive system of bookkeeping
Bhowing the state of the work, the ex
penditures by classes and the amounts
still available.
"Seventh To make requisition on
the Secretary of War for funds needed
'from time to time in the proper prose
cution of the work and to designate the
disbursing officers authorized to receipt
for the same.
"The inhabitants of the isthmian canal
zone are entitled to security of their per
sons, property and religion and in all
their private rights and relations. They
should be so informed by public announce
ment. The public should be disturbed as
llttlo as possible in their customs and avo
cations that are in harmony with princi
ples of well-ordered and decent living.
"The municipal laws of the canal zone
are to bo administered by the ordinary
tribunals substantially as they were be
fore the change." ,
The Commission is authorized to pro
vide a judiciary system and the present
laws of the land are to remain in force
until changed by the Commission. Cer
tain general principles of government,
based on tho provisions of the constitu
tion and the laws of tho United States,
embodying tho personal rights of citizens
aro enumerated, and the rights of the
Commisrfon to protect the territory from
undesirable immigration are set forth.
The letter declares that the Commission
may legislate on all rightful subjects of
legislation not inconsistent with the laws
and treaties of the United States so far as
they apply to said zone and other places,
and the said power shall include the enact
ment of sanitary ordinances of a preven
tive or curative character to be enforced
In the cities of Colon and Panama. Such
legislative power shall also include the
power to raise and appropriate revenues.
Duties of Governor.
Major-Goneral Davis, who is to be the
Governor of the cnnRl zone, is directed to
see that tho laws are faithfully executed.
He is vested with power to grant reprieves
and pardons. If there arises at any time
necessity for military or naval assistance,
the Governor is promptly to notify the
War Department, and in a sudden exi
gency he may call on any available mili
tary or naval force i? the United States
for assistance.
The President urges the Adoption of ap
proved and effective methods for the im
provement of health conditions on the
Isthmus, as was done in Cuba and Porto
Kico.
The President directs that every possi
ble effort be made to protect our officers
and workmen from the dangers of tropi
cal and other diseases which, in the past,
have been so prevalent and destructive In
Panama.
Rear-Admiral Walker and Colonel
Hecker, of the Commission, are desig
nated as members of the joint commis
sion, provided by articles 6 and 15 of the
canal convention. The commission is re
quired to report yearly to Congress. The
letter to tho Secretary concludes as fol
lows: "By virtue of the ownership of the
United States of 9-"0 of the shares of the
capital stock of the Panama railroad,
the general policy of the managers of
said road will be controlled by the United
States.

Isthmian Canal Commission be elected to
the board of directors of the road, and
that the policy of the road be completely
harmonized with tho policy of the Govern
ment, of making it an adjunct to the
construction of tne canal, at the same
time fulfilling the purpose for which it
was constructed as a route of commer
cial movement across the Isthmus of
Panama. If any contracts or other obli
gations now exist between the railway
company and other transportation com
panies that are not in accord with sound
public policy, then such contracts must
be terminated as soon as it is possible
to effect that object.
"No salary or per diem allowance of
compensation, in addition to the stated
salary and per diem allowances of the
members of ihe Isthmian Canal Commis
sion by reason of his services in con
nection with the civil government of the
canal zone, or his membership of any
board connected with the construction of
the canal, or by reason of his services as
an officer or director of the Panama Hall
road. "If there now be in force within the
canal zone any franchise granting to any
person or persons a privilege to maintain
methods, any devices of a character for
bidden by the laws of the United States,
or If the grantee of any such privilege
has now the right to sell lottery tickets
or similar devices to facilitate the busi
ness of the concessionaire, the Commis
sion shall enact laws annulling future
exercise of the same by imprisonment or
fine, or both.
"These instructions may be modified
and supplemented as occasion shall
arise."
