STEVENS OF SAME-OPINION
Board-of "Engineers WHU&akc Two
Reports Commission. Favors
Locks-Appropriatlon of ,
$16,000,000 Asked.
I
"WASHINGTON, 'Nov. 20. Although the
Board of Consulting- Engineers has de
cided in favor of a sea-level canal, it is
yet an open question -whether the Panama
Canal shall be a sea-level or a lock -waterway.
The decision of the board is not
final. It -was reached by a -vote of 8 to 5
In favor of the sea-level project. General
Davis and Messrs. Burr and Parsons Join
ing with the five foreign engineers against
a lock canal.
The report of the board probably -will ,
not be submitted to President .Roosevelt
for five or six -weeks. As to the char
acter of the great project, the report -will
not be unanimous. In fact, two reports,
one by the majority and one by the mi
nority, -will be submitted. These reports
the President will lay before the Canal
Commission and Chief Engineer Stevens
for consideration.' Mr. Stevens will come
to the United States from the isthmus to
take up the subject with the commission
and the President.
President for liOCk Canal
It Is conceded by the adherents of a
sea-level canal that to construct such a
waterway wjll cost much more money
and time than to build a lock canal. It
Is known that In the mind of the Presi
dent these are vital elements. It is his
desire, expressed to some df those who
have discussed the subject with him, that
the canal should be built as expeditiously
as possible and at no greater expense
than may be necessary to provide a prac
ticable "waterway. He Has Indicated to
some of those to whom he has talked that
he personally favors a lock canal, but he
is determined fully that the subject shall
be considered thoroughly from all points
of view before a final decision is reached.
Mr. Stevens will leavo Colon for "Wash
ington next Thursday. He is coming to
clvc the commission information upon
different phases of the work on the Isth
mus, but more particularly his view as
to the type of canal. These views are al
ready known to the officials who are in
charge of the canal work, but an official
statement from the engineer is desired.
Commission With President.
Mr Stevens told officials who recently
visited the canal zone that. If a sea-level
canal was to be constructed, the Govern
ment ought to put boys under 20 years of
age In charge of it, so that they would
last until the work was completed. The
MBit of Mr. Stevens for the especial pur
pose of .giving his views as to the type of
canal indicates that the judgment of the
Consulting Board of Engineers is not
definitely to determine the type, but that
the commission will earnestly take up the
subject and make recommendations. From
what has been said by members of the
commission and from" the views" already
officially expressed by them, there seems
little doubt but that they will disagree'
with the recommendations of the Con
sulting Board that a, sea-level canal be
constructed. - "
CAXAL NEEDS $16,000,000.
Work Must Stop Unless. Emergency
Appropriation Is Hade.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 20. An estimate
of $16,000,000 for continuing work of the
Panama Canal has been sent by the
Treasury Department to the "War Depart
ment to be sent to Congress.
The estimate is for expenditure up to
and including the fiscal year ending June
3 1907. A part of this money will be
necessary at once, and an emergency ap
propriation will be asked as soon as Cong-ess
convenes, in order that the work
may proceed. It is stated at the offices
of the commission today that unless money
is provided as "soon as Congress convenes,
nil work must cease.
The estlmateIstmade" without regard to
the proposal to Issue bonds. -

comfortably, all day with women who came seeking handsome, smart and
stylish Coats, Suits ancL Furs, yet having a desire to save a part of the
price. And they were "mightily pleased. We've yet to learn of one
woman who was not happily disappointed yesterday in the values she
received. "Let me show you my bargain boa," said one woman proudlj'.
"I bought it at another store for $15.95 reduced from $20.00." We
matched it at $15.00 regular, and have them on sale same identical
neck pieces from the most famous maker in America, ispecial today at
