14 TITS MORNING OREGONIAN. SATURDAY, AUGUST 26, -1905. PLOT TO KILL CANAL Lobby Will Work for Repeal of Panama Law. NICARAGUA PARTY IS ALIVE Warner Miller Said to Head Move ment Success Is Improbable, President and Congress Being Committed. OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU. Wash ington, Aug. 22. Officials of the Panama Canal Commission are Inclined to give credence to a report which has been put in circulation to the effect that a lobby Ib to be formed in "Washington next Win ter to secure the repeal of the law au thorizing the construction of an isthmian canal over the Panama route. Two classes of Interests are said to be behind this lobby; one, those who are interested in the Nicaragua route, and, secondly, those who are anxious that no canal shall be built, particularly the transcontinental railroads. According to the current report, ex Senator Warner Miller, of New York, who was president of the old Nicaragua Canal Company, is at the head of the movement to prevent the construction of the Panama canal, and J. D. Yeomans, ex-Interstate Commerce Commissioner, Is reported to be associated with him. Yeo man?, It seoms, was to have been a mem ber of a contracting company which would have sought the canal contract had the Nicaragua company been chosen. Xo Cause to Fear Lobby's Work. Granting that the rumor is well founded, it does not appear that there Is any rea son for' concern because a lobby may be in process of formation. The Panama Canal act Is not going to bp repealed, lobby or no lobby. President Roosevelt has determined that the canal shall be built; In order to Insure Its construction, he completely reorganized the commis sion, and installed a corps of men who can build it. The President is not discour aged by obstacles that have been encoun tered at the outset; he expected to be confronted with difficulties . of no small magnitude. The yellow-fever scare, the difficulty in obtaining labor, troubles over transportation were all foreseen; they did not come up suddenly. But each and everj' one of these problems is being given careful study, and each will be eolved In due time. Nothing is impos sible In an engineering line In these days, If there is money to carry It through. There is money to build the canal, and the next few years will witness a marked improvement In the .sanitary conditions on the Isthmus, will And an adequate supply of labor, will find ample trans portation facilities, and will And the worlt of construction well under way. It Is true. Congress will take up tho canal question next session, for it must decide between a lock and a tidewater canal. But the question as between the Panama and the Nicaragua routes will probably never again be seriously con sidered. There are many Senators and many Representatives who believe now, as they have always believed, that the Nicaragua route was preferable; the de velopments of the last few months serve but to strengthen their view, but millions have already been expended at Panama, millions that can never be recovered In actual cash If the canal Is abandoned, and Congress Is not going to shoulder the re sponsibility of throwing away those mil lions simply, to choose another route, which, after" all, may present as many difficulties as have been found at Panama. Cannot Repeal Panama Act. It would be extreme folly for any lobby at this late day to attempt to force through legislation doing away with an Isthmian canal altogether. Any. such lob by, even if backed by every transconti nental railroad In the country, would be striving for the unattainable. Congress is committed to a canal; the President is committed also; the people of the United States, or a vast majority of them, want a canal, and there Is going to be a canal. A lobby can't prevent It; that time Is past, and it Is very much to be questioned if any lobby will be maintained here next Winter for any such purpose. The railroads, oven though they don't want a canal, fully realize that tlielra is the minority view, and thev will have to bow to the will of the majority. As a matter of fact, there Is little prob ability that any canal lobby will put in an appearance In Washington next Win ter. There may be a few men. enthu siasts or cranks, who believe the Panama route should be dropped and the Nicara gua route substituted, but such persons, no matter how great, will receive little consideration at the hands of Congress. Congress will pass upon tho type of Pan ama Canal, and that Is probably all the canal legislation there will be next Win ter. 2iOT DIFFICULT TO DIG CAXAL. Shonts and Haines Say Problem Can Be Solved. OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU, Wash ington, Aug. 23. Theodore P. Shonts, chairman of the Panama Canal Commis sion, on his return from the Isthmus, was asked if there was any foundation for reports recently circulated to the ef fect that the canal project would have to be abandoned, because the engineering problems involved had prove to be un solvable. "There is absolutely no ground for such reports," declared Mr. Shonts. "On the contrary, with a reasonable amount of money and a reasonable amount of time, the canal can and will be built. The engineering features of the work are no more difficult than a dozen problems that have been or are being worked out in different parts of the United States. It is true, the engineering problems are large, but there Is nothing unsolvable about them." Colonel Peter C. Haines, of the Army Engineer Corps, one of the newly appoint ed members of the. Canal Commission, voiced identical sentiments. He declared that the Engineer Corps of the Army had many times successfully worked put more Intricate and more difficult engi neering problems than any presented on the Isthmus, and he had not the slight est doubt about the ability of tjie United States Government to build the canal In due time. Both Colonel Haines and Mr. Shonts ridicule the stories .hat the Panama-project is impossible. Mr. Shonts has the most sanguine feel ings about the outcome of the canal project. He believes that ample data ha been collected for determining what plan Is to be chosen, and to satisfy any en gineer of the entire practicability of tho project. He Is furthermore satisfied that health conditions on the isthmus will be so controlled, that the work on the canal can bo prosecuted, without greater incon venience than would naturally be expected in suoh a project. He does not contend that the isthmus will be transformed Into a health resort, but he believes condi tions will 'be materially improved and that danger ltomt yellow fever and other threatening epidemics will be largely re duced, if not almost entirely wiped out. . '( OUTLOOK FOR RECIPROCITY. House Would Kill One Feature, Senate the Other. OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU, Washington, Aug. 26. So far .as the 59th Congress Is concerned, the work of the recent reciprocity convention at Chicago will probably come to naught. Congress Is not ant to take ud and adopt the maximum and minimum tar iff Idea expounded at Chicago, nor is It going to legislate to create a tariff commission composed of "economic, in dustrial' and commercial experts." which shall make recommendations to Congress. This latter topic can be disposed of without awaiting developments, for when there was considerable tariff agitation throughout the country a year or two ago. the Idea was ad vanced and It was quickly demon strated that the House of Representa tives would never stand for it. Under the constitution, all legisla tion relating to the levying of taxes and the raising of revenuo must origi nate in the House of Representatives. When a tariff commission was sug gested as a compromise between tariff revision and standing pat, the House leaders became suddenly enraged, and declared they would never stand for any commission which would absorb responsibilities and duties Imposed upon the House by the constitution. The House of Representatives is grow ing more and more jealous of Its constitu tional rights; It is unwilling to sacri fice anything to .which, it Is entitled, and It may be set down for a fact that the House will never approve a bill creating a commission to frame tariff legislation, or even to suggest such legislation. If any legislation is to be framed, the House wants to do It with out outside assistance. As to the- maximum nnd min imum tariff Idea, there Is mere room for speculation. It has been demonstrated to the satisfaction of everybody that reciprocity by treaty agreements can not be attained unless there shall be a marked change In the personnel of the United States Senate. The present Senate, or rather the last Senate, placed the administration in a very embarrassing position by re fusing "to- even consider the numerous reciprocity treaties that had been ne gotiated with various foreign govern ments under the terms of the DIngley law and. when the Senate took this stubborn stand, President Roosevelt is reported to have declared that he would never again send a reciprocity treaty to the Senate. He regard od the transaction as a farce, and felt keenly the humiliation to wh'lch the Senate subjected him before the en tire world. But there Is no reason to believe that the next Senate will take a different view of these treaties; it is quite certain that they will remain covered with dust In the pigeon holes of the committee on foreign relations, where they have been ever since they were first sent to the Senate. But this maximum and minimum idea Is something new; something that can and probably will be talked over. There are many sides to such legisla tion; much to be said for It; much ngainst. . If any serious attempt Is made to secure the passage of such a-J bill It will be talked to death in the next Congress; it can be defeated with comparative ease. With reference to the rctalltory feature of the maximum and minimum tariff scheme, It must be recalled that Germany has already Increased her tar iff against the United States, and to meet Just such a contingency as has been suggested, the new German tar iff provides that If any country at tempts to retaliate there shall Imme diately be levied a surtax ranging up to 100 per cent of the tariff duty nnd. If goods are admitted free, a surtax of SO per cent ad valorem shall be put on. That is one of the things that would be encountered If the maximum and minimum tariff plan should be ap plied to Germany. The upshot of the Chicago confer ence may be the formation of a perma nent organization to offset the Ameri can Protective Tariff League, and such an organization may In time be able to render as able service as the Pro tective Tariff League has rendered the etand-patters. BABY BOY BADLY BURNED His Clothes Take Fire While Playing With Matches. SPOKANE. Wash.,' Aug. 2S. (Speciai.) With his little body burned and charred In a score of places, 4-year-old Lawrence Lindsay Is moaning In pngulsh tonight, while a frenzied mother hopes and prays for the-life of her darling. The little fel low played with matches this afternoon, and Is so badly burned that physicians say he cannot live. In trying to extin guish the blaze, Mrs. Lindsay was severe ly burned about the hands and face, but continued heroically until neighbors took charge of the baby and smothered the blaze with a rug. The little boy was playing with others, and. It is presumed, was sent after matches. When his mother heard his screams, the baby was standing with a bunch of half-burned matches In his hand In the yard, while the flames from his burning white dress were rapidly envelop ing his body. The boy's father is a trav eling man, and the family lives on Gard ner avenue. Court Notes. A. D. Gormalns has been appointed guardian of Joseph Brandt, Insane with a bond of J40QO.

From jail ta the receivership of a bank and superintendent of a Sunday school, all within three months. Is the record established by James R. Boal of Gold field.

In this picture are shown Margaret Goebel. born In 1S2I. in Germany; her daughter. Margaret Kampen. born la 1S37; her grand-daughter, Minnie Scherpf. born in 1S73. and her great-graml-daiighter, born In lopi at Washougal. Wash., where the farallr still resides. The ejdeat. known along the Columbia River as "Old Mary." ww In her Mtta year, hs in perfect health end as active and strong as the average woman of 80. She still takos a man's place In her blackmlth shop and does effective work. For ten years, when her husband was Incapaci tated, site took lib place and afeod horses to the entire satisfaction of the neighborhood, at the same time mothering a large family. Now, past four score and four. In going to the steamer landing, she climbs fences, to save a longer route via the road. No hotter example of good health, good cheer and un impaired strength can be found anywhere. nectlon with the juggling with other peo ple's money would be searched In vain for an exactly parallel case. On May 22 last the Goldfield Bank & Trust Company failed to open its doors, and a notice on the door announced that the bank would remain dossed until a meeting of Its directors should be held. The president. James B. Young, was In San Francisco with Francis L. Burton, its counsel. When arretted later. Young had In his possession a large amount of mining and other stocks which he said he bad taken to San Francisco to use as security fhr a loan to tide the bank over. Boal, the cashier, who had bet'n seen at the bank at a late hour the night before, had disappeared: likewise all the money excepting 516.05. which was found In the vault, and a five-dollar gold piece on the floor, where. It is supposed, it was dropped by the person who cleaned out the vault. An examination of the books revealed that the bank owed Its depositors $78,000, though both money and securities were all gone. Thai was the mot exciting day In the history of Goldfield. Many persons of limited capital were sadly crippled by the failure, and the bank's officials might have been roushly handled hod they been accessible. Boal was arrested three days teterT and, together with Young and"Bur ton. was given a preliminary hearing, that resulted in his being held to the grand Jury. Young also was held, but the evidence was not sufficient to hold the attorney. Later, Boal and Young were indicted on three counts, and their ball fixed at $60,000. This, six weeks later, was reduced to $15,000 for Bool, and friends secured his release. He was Immediately given employment at the bank a3 assistant to the receiver. Boal's people turned $20,000 over to the bank and he is now devoting his time and unquestioned ability to converting the bank's assets Into cash, with the result that It is announced that the loss to depositor- will be trifling. On the Sunday after his return to Goldfield from Jail he acted as superintendent of the Sunday .school. "While Boal will not discuss the affairs of the bank. It is understood that he has decided to give the true history of tho bank's wrecking at the trial of lilmself and Young, a course,, his friends aV. that will free him from suspicion. Young and Burton were exploiting a townslte, a water company and many mining enterprises In a near-by camp at the time of the crash, and It Is believed the funds o'f the bank had been used In promoting their schemes. After Young was arrested, a registered package ad dressed to him at Carson City was re covered. It contained the best of the bank's securities. - MAINTAIN RATES TO FAIR Railroads Will Send Strict Instruc tions to All Agents. CHICAGO. Aug. 25. (Special.) A con ference of the chairmen of the Trans continental and Western Passenger As sociations was held today to draft a Joint circular of Instructions to be sent to all outside agents of roads, members of either association, regarding the strict observ ance of the agreement reached a couple of weeks or so ago for the bettering of the passenger rate situation. It has been found that on three points the agreement has not been strictly observed, possibly through the Ignorance of out side agents of Its actual requirements. . The forthcoming Instructions will set forth explicitly and positively that r duced rates to the Lewis nnd Clark Es posltlon, or to. any other event to which such rates have been agreed to, must not be made on any but the dates fixed br the agreement for them to be effective; tbxit tickets sold at such rates must have their transit limits very clearly defined, and there must be no deviation there from; and that the regulations govern ing stop-overs must bo strictly enforced. It Is believed that. If these Instructions be honestly obeyed, the existing troubles In connection with passenger traffic In the West will speedily disappear and. as tho volume of It was never larger than at present, the results In Increased earnings will be very satisfactory to all the roads. "WILL PAY LABORERS CHECKS Atlas Company Announces Readiness to Do So. Laborers who hold pay checks for work done on the Portland-Forest Grove elec tric line have been notified that the checks will . be redeemed today. Notice has been posted on the door of the Atlas Construction Company's, office. In the Worcester building, stating that all obli gations will be met today at 1 o'clock. Even if the Atlas Company pays all out standing bills. It Is not likely that It will go ahead and complete the contract which It holds from the Oregon Traction Com pany. L. Y. Koady. secretary of the lat ter companv states that the Atlas people have not been keeping their agreement with thorn for some time. The Oregon Traction Company has been trying to per suade them to forfeit the contract since thoy were not In a position to fulfill It. A bonus has been demanded before they would do so. but now It Is stated that they offer no objections to turning the work of construction over to another firm. Mr. Ready received a telegram from a San Francisco firm stating that It was ready to take up the matter at any time, or will send a representative to Portland next week, and the Oregon Traction Com pany expects to have work again In prog ress by the week following. The Atlas Construction Company also holds the contract for the new line from Hlllsboro to Tillamook, but work on this road will go on without Interruption. It Is said. "Will Move Railway Offices. The entire suite of rooms now occupied by the offices of the Southern Pacific and & offlcIal n the Worcester building will be abandoned upon the com pletion of the building which will be erected for the Wclls-Fargo Company.

Conference on Indian Affairs Under Auspices of Exposition Commit tee Scheduled for Today. The closing literary session of the Paci fic Coast Indian Institute, held yesterday morning in the parlors of the American Inn at the Lewis and Clark Exposition, was marked by several earnest and spir ited debates, following the reading of papers. Many very Interesting and able papers were read, after which the teach ers entered into a general discussion. In which nearly all the different phases of the education and training of the In dian were thoroughly theshed over. Miss Estelle Reel, national superinten dent of Indian Schools, made an address In which she Invited the attention of those present to some of the policies, which .have been outlined by the new Commissioner of, Indian Affairs. Francis E. Leupp. "For 20 years 'Mr. Leupp!s vacations, from ardous Journalistic work, have been given to the study of Indian affairs," said Miss Reel. "Since he as sumed official responslbllty for the In dians last January, he has been rapid ly putting Into effect the reforms his great experience and fine Judgment showed to be Immediately necessary for their betterment. We should congratu late ourselves that we have a Commis sioner, who understands and feels strong ly on the subject of Indian education. He Is anxious to have the best and most practical methods used In the schools from the kindergarten up. In training the Indian children to lead useful and In dustrious lives." A buslners meeting was held last night at. the American Inn. Among the resolu tions passed was the one resolving that It would be helpful to the cause of In dian education and advancement to have the Indian Service represented at the Ir rigation Congresses by duly accredited delegates, to the end that the service may te directly benefited thereby. Another resolution passed resolves that the Pacific Coast Indian Institute express Its hearty appreciation of the administration of Commissioner Francis E. Leupp. Today's meeting at the American Inn will be devoted to a conference on Indian affairs, under the auspices of the Lewi3 and Clark Exposition committee on con ferences and congresses. Rev. T. L.

"I became bilious, subject to frequent and violent headaches, and so very ner vous that I could not lift a spoon to my mouth without spilling a part of Its con tents; my heart got 'rickety' and beat so fast and so hard that I could scarcely breathe, while my akin got thick and dingy, with yellow blotches on my face, caused by tho condition of my liver and blood. I made up my mind that all these afflictions came from the coffee, and I de termined to experiment nnd see. "So I quit coffee and got a package of Posturo. which furnished my hot morn ing beverage. After a little while I was rewarded by a complete restoration of my health In every respect.
