STARTS STEVENS ON CANAL WORK President Confers With New Chief Engineer and Chair - man Shonts. -f TWELVE THOUSAND HANDS Commission "Will House, Feed, Doc tor and Ani use 'Its Men Yellow Fever on Decline Hither Taft or Root Good. OYSTER BAY. L. I.. July H. Theodore P. Shonts and John F. Stevens, chairman and chief engineer of the Isthmian Canal Commission, went over the subject of the canal with .the President pretty thor oughly this afternoon, this being the first opportunity the President had to discuss it with "Mr. Stevens. As both Mr. Shonts and Mr. Stevens expect to rail for Pan ama on July 20. the President desired to consult with them before their departure. It is not likely that Mr. Stevens will he made a member of the executive com mittee of the Commission, a post occupied by his predecessor. Mr. "Wallace. It can be said, however, that he has been given practically a free hand to do the construc tion work. He has his own ideas about the methods to be pursued and will not be interfered with in the work of his district His desire is to dig the canal and to that great undertaking he will devote all his energies and ability, leav ing the executive and administrative de tails to be worked out by Mr. Shonts, Governor Magoon and the Commission. Stevens "Will Organize Staff. After the- conference with the President. Mr. Shonts talked frankly about the work of the commission and canal conditions. Ho said: "The President desired to see Mr. Ste vens before we left for the Isthmus, and to discuss with both of us the progress of the work. Just now we have about 12,000 men at work on the canal. This is about as many as we could employ under the ex isting conditions. Wc have our executive staff thoroughly organized now, but the organization has not been completed on the Isthmus. That Is a part of the work Mr. Stevens will have to do. His engi neering staff must be organized and its work mapped out. "We must make ar rangements fdr the housing, feeding and general care of our employes, in Itself a great task, and we must complete the san itary arrangements in the American zone. All this, will require time and energy and hard work, but it will be accomplished successfully. I have about concluded ar rangements with a man who Is to go to the Isthmus tq arrange for the recreation of the canal employes. We will have read ing rooms, amusement halls and all that eort of thing, by mean's of'-wh!ch the men will pass their idle hours pleasantly and profitably. Sanitary Conditions Better. "No. the sanitary condftions on the Isthmus are not so bad as they have been reported. A lot of people .have become frightened by the. yellow,, fever., but it is not so bad as might be expected. In fact, the reports from the Isthmus regarding health conditions have been grossly exag gerated. Out of 20 cases of yellow., fever in May we lost only two and in June out of more than twice that number we lost only four. The sanitary conditions are "being bettered all the. time and as soon as we complete arrangements for a more ade quate supply of pure water we shall have Jittle or no difficulty. My beficf is that the actual digging of the canal will have to be done by laborers Inured to the tropical climate. That labor we shall be able to get without any serious trouble. "We have been devoting a good deal of time- recently to the Panama Railroad. It is now In excellent condition. While it is only 47 miles lqng, the road, includ ing the necessary sidings and spurs, has nearly 500 miles of track. The traffic over it is very heavy. Such business as. is purely commercial is handled Just as it would be by any other railroad and such business as the road does, for the canal is charged against the Canal Commission as part of the canal construction ex penses." Can Work Under Taft or Root. Mr. Shonts was asked whether he could say anything regarding the "proposed transfer of the Canal Commission and Its affairs from the War tp the State De partment. "I think," he replied, "you would bet ter get that .information from the Presi dent. I can say, however, that no defi nite conclusion has yet been reached. So far as I am personally, concerned, it would make no difference whether the canal affairs were directed by Secretary Taft or by Secretary Root. Both arc equipped admirably for the work. The transfer is a matter with -which I have nothing to do." Mr. Shonts did not know how long he might remain on the Isthmus. DIES IN HUSBAND'S SIGHT Tragic Suicide of Leader la. St. Louis Society.

REFERENDUM ON STRIKE Express-Drivers Submit Their Dif ferences to Popular Vote. CHICAGO. July 14. At a meeting of the Express Drivers' Union tonight, it was decided 10 submit to a referendum vote on Monday night the question of calling off the teamsters' strike as far as the express drivers are concerned. Recent disclosures regarding the action of truckdrlvers and other teamsters in doing the work of nonunion drivers, com bined with a failure on the part of the strike leaders to collect sufficient funds to pay benefits promptly, it is declared, have led to rebellion in the ranks of the express drivers. The Baggage and Parcel Delivery Driv ers' Union has Ignored the demand of the Department Store Drivers and voted down a motion to call a strike, against the six express concerns that control the Chicago Cartage Company, which is making deliv eries to strike-bound houses.

The Oregonlnn of this morning rightly sug gests that theories are of little value In the volution of our High School problem. I offered no "plan" as It seemed a question for a wiser head than mine. But elncf plans are In order, may I be permitted to offer thi; following: 1 And In the school laws the provision that 4,a special meeting may be called when the business of the district demands it." so that technical point is settled. Next, the sum required will not exceed $30,000; can not this sum be borrowed? If the school debt for this year has reached the limit, and no bonds can be Issued, mortgage next year's appropriation. Again, nothing in the resolution passed at the taxpayers meeting makes it compulsory for the School Board to build the new High School this year better a thourand times to wait sir months or a year than to rob the future. - It is asserted that certain members of the "School Board are opposed to buying more school land. Have they no faith in the fu ture of Portland? NELLIE It. TRUMBULL. Burglar Killed in Furious Fight. SALT LAKE CITY. Utah. July 14. In an attempt to rob the co-operative store at Union, a small town south of here, early today, an unknown burglar was shot and instantly killed. Two men were seen to enter the place and an alarm was immediately given, which brought a crowd of a dozen vil lagers to the scene and the place was surrounded. One of the burglars made his escape with a posse- following him. The other, after being caught, was placed in cnarge ot K. r . Forbush. The burglnr. taking advantage of Forbush's attention being turned away, threw himself on the latter's back, A desperate struggle for possession of a double-barreled shotgun followed.

REFUSES HIM THE EVIDENCE Despite Orders of Governor, Super intendent of Insurance Imposes Impossible Terms Xew ) Directors Elected. NEW YORK. July 14. For a second time within i hours District Attorney Jerome today made an unsuccessful ef fort to procure from the New lork of fice of the State Superintendent of In surance an official copy of the Super intendent's report on his investigation into the affairs of the Equitable Life Assurance Society. The report had been made public at Albany last night. Mr. Jerome's personal representative. Assistant District Attorney Garvin, went to the office of Deputy Insurance Commissioner Hunter today bearing a letter from the District Attorney., to gether with a formal demand for an official copy of the document. Mr. Garvin and Mr. Hunter were closeted for more than half an hour. and when the Assistant District At torney emerged from the office he was emptyhanded. He admitted that he did not get the desired document, but re fused to discuss what took place at th conference. Mr. Jerome said he would inform the Governor of the failure of the Insurance Department here to turn the Equitable- testimony over to the District Attorney's office, as promised. When Mr. Jerome again called up 'the state capital this afternoon ho was un able to reach Governor Hlgglns." but talked with his secretary. Mr. Perley. and it was arranged that Mr. Jerome should send to the Governor all copies of the correspondence between th'e Dis trict Attorney and the Superintendent of Insurance relative to his attempts to get a copy of the Equitable testimony. Mr. Jerome said tonight: Mr. Garvin, having left my letter f July 1 at the office of the Superintendent of Insurance in the City of New York this morn ing, had a conversation with the Deputy State Superintendent. Mr. Garvin wan autboriied by me to reertve and receipt for the testi mony. I am Informed by him that Mr. Hunter refused to deliver It to him without the. Dis trict Attorney's signing a paper acknowledgtng that the copy wslb the property of the Saper intendent of Insurance, agreeing t return It within a reasonable time and return It on demand at any time. As I un4ersUvd from the Governor's letter that the Superintendent of Insurance had been instructed to give me a. copy of the testimony and had stated to the Governor that he would do i as coon as one couM be preiared. It did not seem to me to be proper to receive a copy under conditions apparently not designed by the Governor to be impssrfWe. I therefore In structed Mr. Garvin not to sire, any receipt for the evidence under the conditions Im posed by Mr, Hunter, and have written to the. Governor of the state apprising him of all the facts in the premises. NEW DIRECTORS ARE CHOSEN Equitable Board Chooses Twelve Representative Policy-Holders: NEW YORK. July 14.

That the Russian government will show no mercy to the members of the crew of the battleship Potemkln, if they fall Into Its hands, even though they jwerc unwilling participants in the recent mutiny.

ST. PETERSBURG. July 14. A sketch of a "department chief," which has ap peared in the Slovo, is attracting much attention. Palpably it is the- thinly dis guised but cleverly drawn portrait of the Emperor, painting him as a vacillating chief whose subordinates are always courting his favor but are never sure of their positions, with the result that there Is complete chaos in the "depart ment." Like Quid's famous portrait of Em peror "William in 'Caligula," which at tracted so much attention in Germany a few years ago. but the author of which escaped punishment for lese rnajeste by avoiding the use of the Emperor's name, the present publication gives the author ities no handle whereby they can punish cither the paper or the author of the sketch.

RO'ESSLER SUCCEEDS x HIM Rivers and Harbors of Pacific Xorth- vrcst Will Have Xevr Ilead. Major Langfitt's Long Serv ice at One Station. OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU, Wash ington. July 14. Major S. W. Roessler is relieved from duty In the office ot the Chief of Engineers, to take effect July 31. and will then proceed to and take the station at Portland, relieving Major William C. Langfitt of the fortifications and river and harbor work in his charge, together with the money, property and records pertain ing thereto. Major Langfitt will report to this city for duty In the office of the Chief of Engi neers. Major Langfitt has represented the En gineering Corps In Portland for nearly seven years. Under his supervision many thousands of the Government's dollars have been expended. He has had control of some of the most important pieces of work anywhere in the "West. He is known all over the North Pacific Coast. The exchange of duties is according to the custom ot the department. Four years is the usual length of time a super vising engineer remains at any station. That Major Langfitt has been here for a longer period is evidence that the Wash ington officials apparently do not consider he has fallen into the dreaded rut. It Is probable that Major Langfitt's new work at Washington will be supervision of some line of engineering activity through out the country. A man of his rank has charge of the fortifications of the United States, another of the. river and harbor Improvement, another of the engineering school at Washington, and so forth. Major Roessler is one of the senior Ma jors of the corps, and a somewhat older man than his predecessor. So far as known by the .officials here, he has 'never been assigned to Pacific Coast duty be fore. It was immediately after the close of the Spanish-American War in 1S9S that Major Langfitt was sent to Portland. Dur ing the war he had been in charge of en gineers at Honolulu. He was then a Cap tain, but two years ago was advnnced to his present rank. Owing to the conditions prevailing at the time. Major Langfitt had to take charge of two distinct offices the engineering and river work and the for tiflcatlons. Each office was formerly sep arate. TRAXSFER XEWS TO EXGIXEER But Major Langfitt Expected It to Come Very Soon. ASTORIA. Or.. July 14. (Special.) Ma jor W. S. Langfitt. United States engi neer, arrived down from Portland at midnight. Tomorrow morning he will leave on the Quartermaster's department steamer Major Guy Howard to inspect the work being done on the fortifications at Fort Canby. When asked concerning his transfer to Washington. DC. Major Langfitt replied: "If I have been transferred from this station, it is news to me. although not a surprise. Some time ago I received an intimation that I should be transferred soon, but have received no official! noti fication that the order had been issued. I have been In charge of this district for six years, which is much longer than the department officers are usually left In any one place, so. If I have been trans ferred, it is not surprising. "As to when I shall leave. I cannot say. but. if the order has been issued, of course I shall go." Asked if his transfer to Washington would be a promotion. Major Langfitt said: "Not necessarily It may mean simply a change of work. The department usual ly transfers the engineers every four years, and as I have been here over that time the transfer may be simply In line with that custom. That I will not know until I receive the official notification.' Profit by Other Cities' Experience. PORTLAND. July 14. (To the Editor.) It would be a thankless requital ot the gen erous hospitality lavished by the people of Portland upon their guests If a citizen of an Eastern city should stand Idly by and see Portland repeat one or the gravest blunders of the older communities.
