LID OFF PANAMA CANAL Attacks on Commission Force It to Abandon Secrecy. OR EG ONI AN NEWS BUREAU, Wash ington, Nov. I A secretive pollc yhavlng proven -a dismal failure, the Panama Canal Commission has determined to take the public into its confidence to a limited degree, In the hope of allaying some of the unfriendly comment that If going the rounds. Incidentally the Commission hopes to avert a congressional investiga tion next Winter. From the start the Commission, the present body as well as that which im mediately preceded, it. took the stand that no information about conditions on the isthmus or work on the canal should be given . to the country save through periodical reports to the Secretary of War. Seekers after information were turned away: all official Information about progress at Panama was denied. The result was that public men and the newspapers sought their Information from other sources; they nought out men who bad been to Panama and the Informa tion gleaned from such sources threw much light on the situation and reflected little credit upon the Commission. This information was to the effect that no progress was being made; that sanitary conditions were wretched; that therehad been mismanagement, if - not corruption, and the impression prevailed that the Commission had squandered $10,000,000 appropriated by the Iart Congress and had little to show for It Things became intolerable, and the Commission was forced to speak In self defense, especially when various Senators and Representatives publicly announced their intention of asking for a Congres sional investigation. First it -was offi cially declared that the sanitary condi tions on the Isthmus were being mater ially improved, and that the delay In get ting down to construction was d"2 to the urcparations for'tfte care of laborers" and other employes. Then, to head off crit icism because of the extension of the elght-bour law to the canal zone. It was announced that the digging of the canal would be done by contract, thus avoiding the eight-hour restriction; to answer the charges of unnecessary delay and the pre dictions of some engineers that the canal would not be completed In 50- years, it "has been officially declared that the canal will be open to commerce not later than 3935. ten years hence, and now comes the assurance that the Commis sion has only spent about $1,000,000 of the $30,000,000 appropriated. If the Commission is perfectly frank and continues its plan of publicity, it may escape a Congressional Investigation, but. If It returns to Its old methods of aecrct lvoness, tbere will be trouble In store. The American people have become ac customed to knowing how great public works progress: they are used to hearing how large sums of public money arc spent, and when enterprises of this enormity are put through under cover, the American people become aurplclous. particularly at this time, for there is a possibility for graft under cover that does not exist in the open. With Panama thousands of miles away, there are ex ceptional opportunities for corruption, even when an open course Is pursued; the American public won't stand for any work in the dark, where Its hundreds of millions are being spent in eo great an enterprise. Publicity Is all that will save the Panama Canal Commission from scandal, and even that remedy may not, in the end. be altogether tffecttve. NO BILL, SAYS MR. BURTON APPROPRIATIONS MUST STAY AT LOWEST FIGURE. Why No General Appropriation Will Be Made for Rivers and Har bors at Coming Session. WASHINGTON. Nov. 12. The Post to morrow will say: No general rlvcr-and-harbor bill 'will be passed by Congress at the approaching session. This forecast was made by Rep resentative Burton, of Ohio, chairman of the rivers and harbors committee, before he left Washington for Hot Springs, Va., for a short vacation. There are two cogent reasons for not enacting such legislation next Winter, ac cording to Representative Burton first, because a large bill passed last session carried appropriations for all projects de serving of immodiate attention from Con gress; tccond, the necessity of holding down appropriations to the lowest figures to prevent. If possible, anothor deficit In the Treasury. ADMIT BUT ONE NEW STATE Congress Likely to Heed Protests of Two Bip Territories. OREGONI AN NEWS BUREAT. WASH INGTON. Nov. 12. When the Flfty eighth Congress adjourned It was un derstood that the Joint statehood bill admitting two new states to the Union -was to be brought forward first thing in the coming Congress, and, in the minds of the leaders, the belief pre vailed that the much-debated legisla tion would be put through after brief debate. It appears now that this pro gramme will not be carried out, and thore is a strong probability that Con gress will admit only one state, com prising Oklahoma and Indian Terri tory. When the omnibus statehood fight bogan it was proposed to create three new states the one named, a state of New Mexico and a state of Arizona. But great opposition was raised to granting separate statehood .to New Mexico and Arizona, and after two sessions of fruitless effort it was de cided to combine these great terri tories and admit them as a single state. But that plan failed, partly be cause of honest opposition, but more especially because the statehood bill became a buffer and was used to kill other legislation which the Republican leaders of the Senate opposed. In all the fight which has been made on the statehood question, the opinion has prevailed that the Senate commit tee, on territories, whence originated most of the trouble, did not know very much about the conditions and needs of New Mexico and Arizona. True, the committee made a flying trip through the territories, but it went there with minds made up. and learned little of actual conditions. During the past Summer many in fluential Senators and Representatives have been to Arizona and New Mex ico, and it is strange to note that those men, who were not Junketers, all came back with the opinion that the two territories should not be Joined, and with the further opinion that neither should be admitted at this time. These men, seeking accurate information, were astonished to learn that the peo ple of Arizona and the people of New Mexico, that is. the better class of peo ple, were not -clamoring for admission. They found them content to remain under territorial government for a time, until they have developed suffi ciently to Justify Congress In granting them separate statehood. They found the conditions In Arizona very differ ent from conditions In New Mexico, and. like the people of the two terri tories, they realized the folly of cre ating one enormous state of what Is now Arizona andNew Mexico. It is impossible to accurately fore cast the result, when the statehood bill comes to a vote, but It is evident that the men who visited the terrlories will make a fight against the Joint state hood bill which was brought forward last session, and which it is under stood will again be brought forward this Winter. Because many of these men have attained prominence in their respective houses, their arguments will carry weight, and it is reasonable to suppose that neither New Mexico nor Arizona will have statehood forced upon them. ' Separate statehood is out of the question, under present conditions; Joint statehood is obnoxious to the people of both territories. Under these circumstances, the problem can be readily solved by admitting one state, Oklahoma, with Indian Territory an nexed, leaving the other territories to develop. Prominent Tacomans Very III.

Nov. li-Charles Knox, the chairman of the Tammany Hall Law Commission, announced today that every ' step taken by Mr. Hearst and the Munlcl-; pal Ownership League for a recount of j the votes cast at the recent election I would be bitterly opposed.

Parker, now Mayor McClellan's senior counsel. This decision was against the opening of the ballot-boxes, and Is. ac cording to Mr. Knox, the law of the State now. The language of the decision was to the effect that the opening of the ballot-boxes was fraught with great danger "and was inadvisable. PREPARING FOR. A CONTEST Republican Aldermen Will Win With Municipal Men. NEW YORK, Nov. 11 The campaign managers of the Municipal Ownership League continued their activity today In preparing the contest to be made before the Board of County Canvasser." this week on the Mayoralty election. The law com. mlttee held Its quarters open and received additional affidavits In alleged cases of election fraud. Twelve of the 5oceisful candidates for Aldermen who were elected either on the Municipal tlckefor Republicans who had received the indorsement of the league met at the Hoffman House for a confer ence. It was decided by them to act as a unit in the body, and by fusing with the straight Republican Aldermen the league hopes to control the board. It was also decided at this conference permanently to keep up the organization of the league, and plans and policies for future political action were discussed. Mr. Hearst gave out a statement tonight advising against the further holding of mans meetings of protest "In the present excited state of the public mind." Black Dcclnrcs for Weaver. PHILADELPHIA. Nov. 12. - Hugo Black, oneof the three Philadelphia County Commissioners and a prominent ward leader in the Republican organisa tion of this city, announced tonight that he would In future ptand with Mayor Weaver and aid him "In carrying out the measures which the people have so em phatically demanded." Mr. Black, who is now serving his sec ond term as Commissioner, was nomi nated for a third term but withdrew from the ticket along with the other can didates as a result of the opposition which developed against the Republican organization during the fight. SENATORS WHO DISAGREE Colleagues From Same State Are at Daggers Drawn. ORBGONIAN NEWS BUREAU, Wash ington. Nov. 12. The clash during the late campaign between Senator Gorman 'and Senator Rayner calls attention to the fact that there will be .several states repre sented In the next Senate by men who personally or politically disagree. The estrangement between Gorman and -Rayner dates back some years; they have never agreed politically, though both are Democrats. It Is a notorious fact that Rayner would never have been elected if Gorman could have prevented it. but Rayner's strong personal following over came his colleague's opposition. The Maryland Senators will not work together for the interests of the state; they have few views In common, and Maryland will suffer. Perhaps the most striking instance of ill-feeling between the Senators from any one state is in Wisconsin. Spooner and La Follette will not mix any more than oil and water. Thej are bitter political enemies, and cacls harbors a personal hatred of the other? Yot both are Re publicans. Spooner Is against everything that La Foltttte wants, and vice versa. It is doubtful if these two Senators speak, but it will not be the first time such a thing has happened. For more than a year prior to his re tirement. Senator Chandler, of New Hamp shire, did not speak to Senator Galllnger. his colleague, though a truce was patched up towards the end. a truc of short duration. The Intense feeling between Senator Tillman and his late colleague. McLaurin. reached such a state that Till man openly struck McLaurin. creating one of the greatest sensations ever witnessed on the floor of the Senate. Then there was the case of Senator McBride and Senator Simon, of Oregon. They never openly clashed, but each had a knife out for the other, and there were frequent secret thrusts. In the last Congress the relations between Senators Foster and Ankeny were becoming quite strained, but before a crisis was reached FoMcr retired. One of the amusing cases of friction Is the Ohio Instance,, where Fo raker and Dick are arrayed against each other po litically. Just as Hanna and Foraker were prior to the death of the genial Mark. Dick is carrying out the Hanna ideas, which arc diametrically opposed to the Foraker ideas. And yet. divided as are the two factions in tho Republican party in Ohio, neither makes a llfe-and-death struggle to defeat the Senator favored by the opposition; Hanna did not demand Foraker's scalp: Foraker will not go out of his way to get Dick's. The two Senators .from Idaho are on anything but friendly terms, personally or politically. Ono is a Democrat; the other a Republican. Naturally Hcyburn will do his utmost to prevent the re-election of Dubois, but Dubois in the meantime has landed some sledgehammer blows, which will hold down material obstacles which Heyburn must overcome before he him self can be returned. Heyburn and Du bois profess to be personally friendly, but it is all for effect. They do not visit to gether; they do not mingle; they are far apart. Dubois might make terms, but Heyburn does not want to. and his col league Is not In an insisting mood. There are other Instances of similar na ture, but these are the most pronounced. Meanwhile the Senate derives lots of amusement from the embarrassment of Senators who are at outs with their col leagues. PROSPECTS FLATTERING. Presidents of Unions Report on the Eight-Hour Movement. INDIANAPOLIS, Ind.. Nov. 12. The executive council of the International Typographical Union met In Indianapolis today with the presidents of unions in a number of the larger cities of the country.
