-THE MORNING OREGONIAN, WEDNESDAY, OOTOBER 18, 1905. WILL DEFEND MIL Government Decides to Fortify the Terminals. ENGINEERS GOING THERE feed the men -with Its own equipment. He sald: Thc Market contract was absolved by mu tual consent. It was largely tentative. It was entered Into under great pressure and before we were really In condition to act In telligently la the matter. I was personally against the letting- of & contract, at alt I took Mr. Markel down with me and after looking the ground over with him, I pro posed to lilm that we call the entire contract off. as the only reason It was mode was the apparent urgoney and. Inasmuch as It was based on guess work, neither he nor 1 -could tell whether he would lose money or make it under the. terms agreed upon. Mr. Markel was very nice and agreed to waive the 30 days' notice under which I could terminate the contract at any time. Treaty Is Silent on Question, but Silence Assumed to Give Con sent Committee on Forti fications '"With L'aft. WASHINGTON, Got; 17. Fortlflca tlou of the terminals of Panama Canal is one of the subjects to be con sidered by Secretary Taft, when he makes hl vl3lt to the Isthmus, and for this purpose he will be accompanied by members of the first committee of the Fortifications Board. This commit tee consists of Major J. P. Storey, ex-chlef of artillery, retired; Briga dier-General Alex MeKenzIe, chief of-i engineers; AV. M. Crozler, chief of ord nance; Samuel M. Mills, chief of artil lery. Captain Charles Sperry, of. the Ku.vy, and Major George Goethals, torps of engineers. All the members of this committee will not accompany the Secretary, and until definite or tiers are received it Is probable that Gtnexal Storey, Captain Sporry and Major Goethals will be the members vv:o will go to Panama. Fortification of the canal was for bidden by the first Hay-Pauncefote treaty, but this treatj was amended by the Senate. The canal treaty which was Anally adopted and Is now in force, and whi;h superseded .the Clayton-Bulwer treaty has no mention of fortifications, but does allow the Unltod States to use such military force as may be nec essary to police and protect the canal. Ah nothing is said regarding fortifi cations, this Government assumes the right to erect such works as will ade quately protect the canal. BLOCKS OX CANAL. Officious Clerics and Red Tape Ham per Progress. OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU, Wash ington, Oct. 16. It is apparent, from Ve porte brought back to this country by in telligent and responsible men, that the Panama Canal now needs good executive direction above all else. There are engi neers in abundance; there Is all the tech nical and mechanical direction, that will ever be required; the engineers now charged with the actual construction -work are equal to their task; what is lacklna is good general direction, good adminis fatljn, a competent supervising hand which will bring system out of chaos and remove many barriers which now con front the engineers and prove obstacles in heir way. For more than a year W. J. Murphy, a sanitary specialist, has been at work cn the Inthmus under Colonel Gorgas, who has been fighting yellow fever and other pests. Mr. Murphy was in Wash ington recently and talked rather freely and extremely frankly about conditions at Panama. "To my mind," said he, "tho two greatest obstacles whiph confront the men who are building the canal, next to yellow lever, are red xape and.xhe swarm if mall-f ry clerks and officials' whom our great and good Government has stent down to the isthmus. They ihave.-all,' -without exception, a bad case of' swelled head, and the evils of red tape are only rendered the more" acute by the doings of this swarm of two-by-four clerks -and of ficials. I went to the Isthmus filled' with enthusiasm and with the Intention of working as I had never 'worked before at the task of rooting out yellow fever, as well as discovering everything pos sible in regard to the disease. I was not In the zone very long be fore I discovered that the greater num ber of the small-fry clerks and' officials had gone there with no higher or better object than that of having a royal good time at Government expense. Everything is shirked, everything ig looked upon in a light and frivolous spirit by these fel lows, some of whom arc not worth their transportation back and forth. "Official red tape Is the other very perldus evil, but Chief Engineer Stevens is working manfully to overcome this drawback. The discontent among the la borers on the canal has been due largely to the fact that at times they were near the point of starvation." He then tolls how the Government has five times changed the pay day, frequently-letting the men work for two months without funds. The result has been that they liave suffered intensely, for credit is hard to obtain in the canal zone. The construc tion of quarters for the men, thp estab lishment of commissaries at intervals along the canal route, and tho sale of rroisIons at reasonable rates, .howevor, win, do much to obviate this trouble In the future. Taking up another phase of -tho situa tion Mr. Murphy said: "When Mr. Stevens arrived at the canal he found the tracks on which the work trains and steam shovels operated as crodked as a dog's hind leg. Cars were running off the track every few hours, and more than three-fourths of the steam shovel engineers sent out from the United States were sitting about doing nothing. He promptly sent them all back to the United States, compelling the Govern ment to give them other work until they were needed, and has since then devoted I his attention to getting the tracks into some semblance of order and repair. This work Is now almost finished, the tracks are as straight and In as good repair as the best In this country, and In a short time he will send for the steam shovel engineers to resume work. I con sider that In Mr. Stevens and Colonel Gorgas the Government has two valuable men, who. if not hampered by too much red tape and not annoyed by worthless youthful clerks and officials who go down to have a good time, will accomplish the greatest of modern undertakings, tho building of the Panama Canal." It Is opinions such as these which In- d'eate the need of a good executive head, and if Secretary Root shall give the canal his closest attention, as he can af- ftrd to do. he will wipe out many of the olls complained of and clear the way I for unhampered work, which, in the pub lic mlnd.has been too long deferred. Canal Commission Returns. NEW YORK. Oct. 17. Members of the I Isthmian Canal Commission and the board of consulting engineers, returning nrom a tour or inspection of the Pan- Iama Canal, arrived here today on the steamer Havana. General George W.

USED TO ADVT3RTISE TOBACCO Manufacturers Will Be Rebuked for Giving Away Roosevelt's Picture. NEW YORK. Oct. 17. President Roose velt has promised Immediate attention to a subject laid before him in connection with the use of his photograph for trade purposes. It appears that in every 50 pound case of a certain brand of tobacco there is a .photograph of President Roose velt,, the other four containing the pic tures of King Edward, the Mikado, Em peror William and the Czar. Great indig nation was caused among members of the cigar trade in the United States. Mr. Diflley, president of the Cigar-Dealers' Association of the United States, wrote a letter to the President, In which he said: "I wish to protest against the use of your picture In this manner. Our mem bers consider it an insult to yn" Secretary Loeb replied, thanking Mr. Diffley and saying: "The subject In ques tion will-at once be taken upvwlth the company you mention." Of all the characters who have been sent to Congress, It Is probable that Jerry Simpson "Sock less Jerry" was the most remarkable. His arrival In the National capital was awaited with Interest by members, pages and Government employes. AU were anxious to sec for themselves whether the new statesman from Kansas "really didn't wear socks." And many to this day are not sure whether he arrived la Washington wearing them or not. AU sorts of stories were told before hla com ing, and all recited that he wore no tocka. On his arrival. Washington saw a man who mlsbt not have attracted attention without previous heralding. He was 6 feet 1 Inch tall and of slender frame. He bad hair as black and etralght as that of an Indian. His face waA clean shaven save for a mustache. Krong lined, and he had snapping black eyes. He completely upset all previous ideas by appearing with gold-bowed spectacles and neat ly drcs&ed. Jerry was slightly stoop-shoul dered, and, except for his eyes, gave little hint phjoically of the wit and repartee of which he had a never-ending supply. This wan the man who was a combination product of New Brunswick, the Great Lakes and the Kansas prairies. IJfe as a Lake Mariner. Jeremiah Socrates Simpson was bom In New Brunswick In March, JS42. When Jerry was 6 years old the family moved to Oneida County, New Tork. His early life was sDcat In the bitterest poverty, Jerry arterward de. daring that "Cod Almighty sent our family hard knocks In bunches." At 14 he struck out for himself and landed on the lakes as a cabin boy. For S3 years Jerry Simpson followed the lakes, working on boats plying between Chi cago and the upper ports, and at the close of his career as a tailor was known as one of the safest and best captains on the lakes. And this In the days when the lakes were dotted with sailing vessels, all driven by competent men. One of his chief exploits wan while car Lain of the towlnc barge J. H. Butter. On Oc tober 30, 187S,. the Butter, In tow ot her con sort, the Keteham, was struck near Ludlng. ton by. x heavy gale from the southwest. That night the Butter went adrift and Cap tain Simpson anchored her near the shore. AU night her anchors held, despite the heavy gale and wavea. The gale died down, but J before the barges could get away the wind sprang Jip anew, bringing a heavy blast of snow nil d sleet, and the Butter was at Its morcy. The cargo of corn shitted, and Cap tain Simpton and the men threw it overboard. Finally the Butter was" blown ashore, and Captain Simpson signaled for the life-saving crew. With great difficulty the crew was taken off Just before the Butter foundered, It was said that few, if any other, of the lake captains would have made such a lonr flslit for their vessels. The Butter was not a total loss, owing to Simpson's efforts, and was later raised and till a few years ago was still In rervlce. Goes to Kansas and Congress. Immediately after the loss ot the Butter, Jerry became interested in Konms. He gath ered together his family and moved to Kan sax. taking up a farm six miles from Medicine Lodge, In XJarber County. One ot his nolcb bors was Mrs. Carrie Nation. When sreen backism became rampant, Jerry came out as a greenboeker and made several campaigns through the state. It Is mid that he often mode his trips barefoot and sometimes wore fthoes without socks. According to John S. Richardson, at one time prominent In Kansas Democratic Circles. Jerry did wear socks, but they did not rfiow above his shoe top. When Populism sprang up in Kansas, Jerry' Simpson was In the van of the movement, and it wan on Its tide, in a combination with the Democrats, that he wassent to Congress In 16W. While on his campaign he iwVe one night In Sterling, a salt-producing town. Moat of the land and farms near by were murt- xaged and there wss bitter feeling against the "mortgage harks." One of the townsmen said that Jerry looked an If he wore "silk socks like the mortgage sharks." Quick as a flash Jerry pulled up hi trousers. Origin of Ills Nickname. "My friend," he said, "them are all th rocks 1 ever wore. If you can't see them from there, come and feel them." His friends ay he had on a pale, but they ctd not raow above his shoe tops. The Sterl incites could not sec them. From that day Captain Jerry Pttipjon be came "Socklenfl Jerry" Simpson, and on the tide pt Populism apdqthe nickname rode Into Conrress from the Seventh District. Ho ever afterward declared that at home he wore no pocks, although he wore brlght-hued ones at Washington. Jerry Simpson did many unusual things In ashlngton.- but proved able In debate. He was especially bitter against Speaker Reed. He attacked him at every opportunity, and though attacked In return by members on the floor, was always able to held his own in repartee and debate. One of the peculiar thtngfl he did was to arraign Consretci for providing from four to six towels a day tor eaca member. Me declared one was e no urn to last him a week, and that that allowance ought to ssXtafy each of the members. He wa elected for four years In 1800 and was re-elected for two years In 1S30. He wan. defeated In isaa and smce then has lived at Boswell, X. M. PRINTERS ARE ENJOINED decision which classes the efforts of members of the Typographical Union to force a contract for an eight-hour day and for a closed shop upon the employers as unlawful. In speaking of the demand for a contract for a closed shop and an eight-hour day. which brought about the present trouble between the union and the printing concerns. Judge Holdom said: The foundation of the strike in this case is the union contract demanding a closed shop and an eight-hour day. Both the closed shop and eight-hour day are unlawful when. it is attempted to force an employer to enter it against his will. The injunction, as it stands; restrains the union and Its members from Interfer ing with the business of employes of the complaining Arms, either by attempting to dissuade the employes from working or from sending out circulars to the cus tomers of the flrma asking them to boy cott the strike-bound houses.

Wash., Oct. 17. (Special.) The granting of a franchise to the North Coast Railway by the City Council last night was a great victory 'or that road over the North Yakima &. val ley Railway. The bitter fight that Is go Ing on between the two roads for suprem acy In Yakima was shown here when the latter road asked, for a franchise that would, if passed, have annulled the fran chlse that had already been parsed by the Council. The right-of-way granted to the North Coast Is through the center of Selah street, north and south, the entire length of the city, a' distance of over a mile. Thl street is to the rear of the warehouaea. now fronting on the. North ern Pacific Railway. Terminal grounds have been purchased at the intersection of Selah street with Yakima avenue. Here the station and freight sheds will be erected. In the franchises the com pany agrees to complete 10) miles of the road in Yakima County and within two years to hare tha line connected with a line to the Sound. This evidently means a connection with the Tacoma Eastern. The line will extend from Klona. south of Sunnyside, to the Cowlitz Pasa In the Cascades. Strike In. Markle's Coal Mines. HAZELTON. Pa..
