"THE ; MORNING ORE&ONl'AN, ' THtf&SD A Y, APRIL 13, 1905. PLANS ITS WORK Canal Executive Com mittee Acts. WILL HIRE COOLIE LABOR Chinese and Japanese -Wi'lhBe Tried at First. ' SEA-LEVEL CANAL., POSSIBLE Engineer Wallace Gives Opinion Panama Railroad Will Be Im proved and Rates Much Reduced. WASHINGTON, April 12. Chairman Sionts, Governor Magoon and Chief En gineer Wallace met in Secretary Taft's office tolay. It was tne first meeting of the Executive Committee of the Isthmian Canal Commosslon and the details of the organization -were considered. On the -whole, the Committee had a long and satisfactory discussion with Mr. Taft and reached some conclusions as to the organization of the -Panama Railroad directorate at the meeting which is to take place next Monday in New Tork. Mr. Shonts will be the next President of the Panama Railroad Company and every member of the Commission will be made a Director of the company. That will leave four members of the directorate to be named, and they will be civilians. Another important conclusion rotated to the .assignment to duty of the four engi neer officers of the Canal Commission who arc not members of the Executive Committee, namely. Admiral Endicott, fol. Ednst, General Halns and Mr. Ilar rod. It was decided to make these four men a special engineering commission quite apart from the Board of Consulting Engineers provided for in the President's order. To this engineering commission will be assigned the various engineering problems arising In the course of the construction of the canal. To them are to be submitted all plans of an engineer ing character of capital nnportance, and n these they will ask the opinion of the joard of Consulting Engineers, which Ixidy is so far incomplete. The consult ing board will renort on the projects to the fu'.l Canal Commission, and this body la turn will make recommedations there in to the President of the United States. Hire Japanese and Chinese Labor. Tlje labor problem was discussed at irngth. and it was resolved that contracts should be made for the employment of 1W0 Japanese and 2000 Chinese coolies In i anal construction. This Is merely a. pre liminary and experimental move, but, if it succeeds, the engineers will have an al most unlimited force of labor to draw 'n. No opinion has yet been had from the Attorney-General as to the right of the Commission to employ its labor more than eight hours daily, but it has satis fied itself that there is no legal obstacle to the employment of this coolie labor un der contract. Th'is conclusion is based on the theory that, while the United States exercises control over the canal zone for administrative purposes, yet the titular sovereignty over the strip remains In Panama, over which no American labor law can be held to extend. An interesting feature of the discussion today was a statement by M. Wallace to the effect that it Js entirely feasible to construct either a tide level or lock ca nal across the isthmus, though he him self .strongly favors the tide level pro ject It has also developed that Mr. Bunou-Varilla who recently visited Wash ington, and, it was supposed, was to be a member of the Consulting Board of En gineers, did not desire any connection with the project, but came principally to submit to the President and Mr. Taft an original plan of bis own, under which he thought the .great canal could be con structed within the term of four years. This project together with one submitted by Lindon W. Bates, a Chicago and New York engineer, will be referred to the newjy created Engineering Commis sion for examination and report. Will Reorganize Staff. The subject of the reorganization of the force of employes of the present Commis sion, also received some attention and It was declared that all of the administra tive work, which heretofore has been done directly under the supervision of the Commission in Its own offices, should be placed in charge of Colonel Clarence Ed wards, the present head of the Bureau of Insular -Affairs and the officers -themselves probably be removed to the annex of the Mills building. Colonel Edwards will not relinquish his duties as Chief of the Insular Bureau, but is. charged with a double functionf WI-eon Pepper, who has served as an assistant to-Colonel Edwards for several years, will probably be assigned exclusively to the rhargc of Panama matters, and Captain MJtchle, Just assigned to duty as an as sistant to Colonel Edwards, will devote himself exclusively to the fiscal business of the Insular Bureau, while Colonel Ed wards retains the general supervision of both branches. During tho-conferenoe, the ministers of the .West Coast of South and Central American Republics, who saw Mr. Taft Saturday in -connection with the Panama Railroad rates, called at the department and were Introduced to the members of the Executive Committee. Thes formally submitted these . matters, defining their complaints at great length, and these wt-re taken under consideration, with the promise of the Secretary that there would be greater liberality in troatment of cbm pfting transportation lines than now exj luted in their relations with the Panama Railroad. Mr. Wallace said that the- en tire road would be double-tracked and supplied with an entirely new and modern t-quipment of rolling stock: there would be a fiat rate for all traffic, but trans .. continental rates would not be much affected. States it is riot material whether the re pairs are made by a foreigner in this country before the .ale to the Amorican or made by the American after the pur chase. The Attorney-General also holds that in the rare, case of a foreign vessel wrecked twice in the' United States the cost of repairs on the two occasions can not be- aggregated to secure American register. ! SOON LET CONTRACT . DENIES HE BOUGHT PISTOL Morgan Smith Professes Confidence He Can. Prove Innocence. NEW YORK. April 12.-J. Morgan Smith and his wife, who were brought here from Cincinnati yesterday to answer a charge of conspiracy with Nan Patterson to ob tain money from Caesar Young, will not plead to the Indictment until next Friday. They were arraigned in the Court of General Sessions today, bnt upon request of their attorney the case was continued. Abraham Levy, counsel for Nan Patter son, a co-defendant with the Smiths, and who also is- awaiting trial for the murdet of Caesar Young, asked permission to be heard in the proceedings. The court final ly gave Mr. Levy one day in which to notify the District Attorney of his mo tion; the motion returnable tomorrow. At that time arguments will be made and Miss Patterson will be arraigned on the charge of conspiracy. Before being taken to the Tombs prison. Smith made a stato mont in which he ald: "My movements on the day the pistol was bought are easily traced. I bad written them out. naming every person-1 mot that day that I knew. "The record was in the trunk which was confiscated in Cincinnati, and is now in the possession of the District Attorney. I am Tory grateful to the District Attor ney for having it. I did not buy that re volver, and I defy any one to Identify me as the man." Asked why he and his wife left New York so hurriedly last June, he answered; "I have no reply Xo make. I will not discuss my case further, except on ad vice of counsel." Several persons who were called by the prosecution as witnesses at the last trial of Nan Patterson and who were expected by the District Attorney to Identify Smith as the man mentioned la their testimony were in court when the prisoners were arraigned today. Among them was Hy man Stern; the pawnbroker who sold the revolver with which Caesar Young was killed. Before going into court Stern said he was -doubtful if he could positively Identify Smith. There was an affecting scene when Nan Patterson and her sister met in the Tomba prison. When last they saw each other they occupied an apartment together In an uptown hotel. Today both were pris oners. Miss Patterson had gained the consent of the warden to see Mrs. Smith as soon as she was brought to the prison. They were left alone, standing with their arms around each other'. shoulders, weep ing bitterly. As the attorneys and several prison officials stood outside the room, J. Randolph Patterson, the aged fa.thcr of the prisoners, joined the group. He pleaded with the warden not to separate the girls. "If you can grant an old father's wish." he said, "keep the girls aa near together as you can while they are incarcerated." Warden Flynn said he would do all he could for him. and arranged to have the prisoners on the same -tier in the woman's prison. . Later in the day Judge Foster reduced the ball Tor the Smiths to $3000 each. A trunk said to contain the correspond ence seized from the Smiths at Cincinnati was received at the District Attorney's office today. An examination of the con tents was begun at once. KACE WAR IN COFFEYVELLE Whites and Blacks Go' Armed and Negro May Be Lynched." COFFEYVILLES, Kan.. April 12. A race war has narrowly been averted here as the result of the assault by a nogro upon Mrs. John Griffith, white, the wife of a machinist, and serious trouble is still like ly. Negroes of the worst class have been ordered to leave town before night. In anticipation of a clash between the- two races, the Mayor today issued a -proclamation ordering that all citizens disarm, and at the same time many special of ficere were sworn in. Since the negro's attack upon Mrs. Grif fith, fellow negroes have been arming to prevent a lynching of any innocent ne gro, as is feared likely, and early today an attempt to disarm a number of blacks resulted in a dozen revolvers being leveled at Chief of Police Smith's head. Other negroes rushed to the scene when a body of whites stopped them with leveled rifles. The leader among the negroes was choked into Insensibility and the others were subdued, trouble being averted for the time at least. Many - arrests were made. The negro who assaulted Mrs. Griffith is still at large. After the arrest of nine of their ring leaders, the negroes began to leave the streete. Six more negroes were later ar rested without trouble. Four hundred deputies were sworn In today, with or ders to shoot on the slightest provocation. No negro was to be found on the streets after C o'clock. White people are patrol ling the streets tonight, and they say they are determined to rid "the town of bad negroes. A report comes late tonight from Len aph, 12 miles south of here in the Indian Territory, that the negro who assaulted Mrs. Griffith Tuesday mqrnlng has been run down and captured. The news causes much excitement here, and a revival of lynching threats has been made. Plans, for Celilo Canal Are Almost Complete. WILL BEGIN AT UPPER END Advertisement for Bids Within Two Weeks Enough Money to Build Upper Lock and Entrance - ' to the Canal. OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU, Wash ington. April 12. Within two weeks, it is expected. Major Langfltt will be in structed to advertise, for bids for the con struction of the first lock of The Dalles Celilo Canal, thus launching a project that has been under consideration in one shape or another for a generation. The Chief of Engineers has received Major Langfitt's plan for beginning construction, but. ow ing to the fact that several details are not quite clear, the papers are to be returned for explanation. When they get back to Washington it is thought the plans will be approved and authority granted to invite proposals. Major Langfltffl plans, which have been carefully worked out in great detail and with apparent care, contemplate beginning construction on the upper end of the canal and working down stream. This Is done to enable contractors to make use of the canal as it is completed, section by section. Major Langfltt has prepared, plans for approaches to the canal at itr upper end, for the guard gates for the first lock near Celilo, and for a considerable stretch of canal. It Is impossible to tell how much work can be done with the money appro priated in the rivers and harbor law, but It Is anticipated there are funds enough to complete the Celio lock and canal entrance and to do considerable blasting and straight canal work. Near the first lock it will be necessary to build an im mense embankment as the north wall of the canal. This part of the canal, and In fact all other parts not cut through solid rock, will be lined with cement. All em bankments will be solid of construction and will be faced with immense rocto to prevent washing in seasons of high water. Wants Idaho Land Opened. OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU. Wash ington, April 15. Senator Heyburn called on Secretary Hitchcock today and request ed him to restore to entry 200,000 acres of land in the, north west corner of Kootenai County, withdrawn throe years ago with a view to creating a forest reserve. He said this withdrawal retarded settlement. A new railroad will soon penetrate this section and Mr. Heyburn wants the land open to entry. The Secretary promised to give the matter prompt attention. 1 Rural Route for Beaverton. OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU, Wash ington, April 12.

Says Boxer Campaign Was War. TOPEKA. Ivan., April 12. Judge Tol lock, or the First District Court, decided today that there was war between the United States and China during the march bf the allied troops on Pekin during the Boxer- outbreak of 1900. The case was that of Fred Hamilton, a private soldier serving a sentence at the United States Penitentiary at Leavenworth for killing Corporal Charles Cooper while the Army was in China. Hamilton was convicted by court-martial. He appealed to the court for release on the ground that there was no war between the two countries, and that therefore a court-martial had no power to convict him. The case will be appealed to the United States Supreme Court. Commits Suicide on Girl's Grave. . NEW YORK. April 12. On a newly made grave in Cypress Hill Cemetery. East New York, the unidentified body of a man has been found with his throat cut. A razor was tightly clutcheaVjn one band.

He relates it thusly: "When spending our vacation in Nottingham Square, N. H., last August, the country being hilly and the roads difficult to get over, we heard that 'Old Father Miles,' a town celebrity, could sometimes be induced to let his horse and buggy for a small sum, so we drove around to the Miles homestead and inquired if we might hire them for the next day. " 4 Wall said 'Old Father Miles,' whar do you purpose to drivfe?' "We assured him that we only wanted to go arouud Nottingham, and possibly to Ra3Tiiond ; so, after due deliberation, he drawled : " 'Wall, I hain't got no use of the old boss for a day or two, so you kin hev him. I gen 'rally git 50 cents a day, too, but? seein' as he be party lame, I guess I'll hev to git a-dollar.' " That's the way with some stores, the more doubtful the quality the more you are asked to pay by the wily merchant who bolsters up an unreliable article by a price that suggests the dependable sort. Such storekeeping would get short shrift at this store. Quality ranks first here, then price Nothing can be cheap no matter what the price without the standard of QUALITY. Be cautious of stores that advertise "special" values without stating the standard price to start from. "SPECIAL VALUES" can only be figured from a base of actual present market worth.
