TIIE 3IORXIXG OREGOXTAN, TUESDAY. AUGUST 25, 1903. PANAMA REPORT IS IDE PUBLIC Special Commission Finds Conditions in Splen--' did Shape. ROOSEVELT MUCH PLEASED Writes Each Member Personal Let ter Report Will Be Submit ted to Congress With Recommendations. OTSTER BAY. Aug. M. President i Roosevelt haa made public a report , submitted to him on August by a : special commission consisting of James ; Bronson Reynolds. Bamuel B. Donnelly ' and Henry Beach Keedham regarding conditions In Panama. The commission : was appointed April 25 lost. I That the President is pleased with the report is shown in a letter which he sent to each member of the commission on Friday. He expressed particular 1 pleasure over the fact that the commis i sion upholds the administration of ' Colonel George K. Goethals. chairman i of the Jsthmian Canal Commission, and ! the President has had a copy mailed to ' Colonel Goethals, requesting that the ' recommendations made by the com ' missions be put in effect Immediately so far as possible. The President will submit the report to Congress with ap propriate recommendations. ' Wide Scope In Investigation. The commission's report that it "In spected the entire line of the canal ex cavation from La Boca, the southern or ; Pacific terminus, to Cristobal, the north '. em or Caribbean terminal, and traveled i through the exci-vation several times, in ! terviewing the men at work." Indicating the scope of the inspection, the commission reports that it visited the : "Go-ernment workshops. constuctlon i plants, warehouses, shipyards-, dredges. I commissary stores, living quarters (that Js. hotels, mis:i. kitchens and camps), schools, clubhouses, courts, pqjice sta- ttons and the con ilescent home at Ta ' boga." President Roosevelt's letter to the ! investigators says: 1 aoubt if there Is any piece of i work undertaken on behalf of the j American people of recent years of j which the American people have more reason to be proud than of the work i i r.n ( Piinama Canal. The suc cess has literally been astounding. Five years ago. when we undertook the task, no sane man would have dared to hope for. the results which have al ready been achieved. Tne work Itself has been advanced more expeditiously than we had ventured to predict, and the rapidity of the rate or progress has steadily increased. Health Conditions Vastly Improve. "Meanwhile the treatment of hygienic rondltions on the isthmus has been such as to make it literally the model for all work of the kind in tropical countries. Five years ago the Isthmus of Puiama was a byword for un healthlness of the most deadly kind. At present the canal rone is one of the healthiest places on the globe, and the work which is being prosecuted with such tremendous energy is being carried on under conditions so favor able to the health and wellbelng of the workers that the mortality among thpm is abnormally small. "Finally, in addition to the extreme ef ficiency of the wor under Colonel Goe thals and his assistants and the extraor dinary hygienic success achieved under Dr. Gorgas. there Is the further and ex ceedlnsiy gratifying fact that on the t Isthmus the Vnited States Government has been able to show Itself a model em- ployer. There are matters to correct, of I course, as your trip showed, but on the iother hand it is true that the United States is looking after the welfare, health and comfort of those working for It as no other government has ever done 'in work of like character." ( Great Difficulties Overcome. In prefacing its report the com- mission says: "Work on the construction of the ; Isthmian canal has passed through two ' stages, those of planning and of pre i paration. It Is now in the third stage, 1 the stage of construction. "Both the earlier stages required iha presence of a large working force, i necessarily quartered In temporary and makeshift accommodations. Because of these conditions inevitable at the outset, critics of the enterprise mis took the temporary outfit for the per manent equipment. "The terrible scourge of yellow fever, egalnst which the French struggled In vain: the filthy and pest-breeding state of the principal Panaman towns; the rough lumber camps and other hard ships of the first two eras has been eliminated through the brilliant and per sistent activity of the department of sanitation, the department of municipal engineering and the building department. Today we find yellow fever" driven from the Isthmus, malaria and pneumonia irreatly reduced and a high average of health. "Although the Government's Imme diate object on the Isthmus is to dig the canal and erect living quarters for a temporary enterprise, it has in fact created comfortable homes and well organised social communities for its working forces." Actual Progress of Work. Of the progress of the work the re j port says: "This year over two and one-third t million cubic yards were excavated In each of the Winter months, the dry ; season in Panama, a million yards be ing aoproximately equal to a square ' mile one foot deep. To prepare this Immense mass for removal 405 tons of ' dynamite were used per month, and 1 to make the dirt fly to this extent 32 I 95-ton steam shovels, 37 70-ton, ' 10 45-tnn and 24 others were In constant use. A total of 4141 cars and 30! locomotives moved this jnsss to the dumps. A fleet of 18 barges, 15 dredges and 31 other vessels were at ' work In the dredging service." After giving a detailed description of i the method of the work on the canal and . the amount of machinery and labor in volved, the report continues: "When we .recall that this enormous : plant is operated at a distance of 1155 ' miles from its main base of supplies. New i York, we can estimate with more Jus tice and accuracy the magnitude and complications of the undertaking. On ! April 30 last, 26.118 men were actually ' at work for the Isthmian Canal Com- mlssslon and 7077 at work for the Pan ama Railroad; total of 33.196." All Complaints Looked Into. In speaking of the morale of the service, the report says: "From the outset we were strongly : Impressed by the spirit of good will and loyalty of the employes inspired through the accessibility of the chief engineer, Colonel G. W. Goethals. to all com plaints, and his prompt investigation in person or by deputy of all complaints made. This spirit of loyalty and In terest In the work was evinced on many occasions and should be counted as an aRset of the highest value to the Gov ernment in the accomplishment of Its colossal work." A revision of the wage schedule will be worked to advantage, the commission finds. The report deals with this sub ject as follows: "The wage scale should be simplified, the grades reduced in number and the same pay and hours required for sim ilar service for the Isthmian Canal Com mission and the Panama Railroad. Much cause for existing complaints would be eliminated by the above-mentioned changes." The commission dwells at length on the difficulty of holding skilled workingmen at the Isthmus, and In this respect says that the wage rates paid on the Isthmus are but 10 per cent higher than those paid on building construction work in the City of New York. It recommends that no reductions be made. Regarding the number of hours the employes should be asked to work, the report says: "It is proper to record that we found the eight-hour law faithfully enforced in the e entire service of the Isthmian Canal Commission.' As to investigating and disposing of complaints of the workmen, etc., the commission reports: "A labor secretary to the commission should be appointed whose duty it shall be to investigate all complaints in re lation to conditions of the employment, subsistence and accommodations and to report thereupon to the chairman of the commission." Would Provide for Injured. Adequate compensation for those in jured while at work on the Canal Is rec ommended. As at present provided by law Injured workmen are entitled to one year's pay, "Unless sooner able to re sume work, and in case of death tha widow, children and dependent persons receive the workman's wages for the re mainder of the year. The commission finds this law inadequate regarding cases of permanent disability and recom mends more liberal allowances." In conclusion the commission states that it desires to emphasize three strik ing excellencies of the administration. These are: First The recognition by the Govern ment that the housing, feeding and health of its employes bear a vital re lation to their economics and efficiency and - as a consequence the Government has been able to take up and successfully carry on a work that had been aban doned by another government with a high average of health and working power of Its employes. Second The improved relationship be tween the Government and the employes which makes it now possible for the workingman to have his complaints in vestigated and if proved, rectified. Third The liberal provision that is now made for relief Jn cases of tem porary disability. WILL CONFER IN BOSTON HITCHCOCK AXD PARTY LEAD ERS TO MAKE PLANS. Gathering Part of General Plan to Keep Workers In Touch With Each Other. BOSTON. Aug. 24. Republican political artlvlty in New England will center In this clt" for the next few days, when Chairing Hitchcock, of the Republican National Committee, will confer with party leaders of the six New England states In regard ot the aspects of the Presidential campaign, especially with ref erence to the coming elections in Vermont and Maine. This gathering in Boston is part of the general plan of campaign by which Chair man Hitchcock expects to place himself In touch with the party workers In all sections. He already has seen those of the West and Middle West. It is also to be inferred that beyond learning how things politically are drift ing in New England, there will be ques tions asked as to what can be done in the way of helping the campaign financially. It Is expected, however, that the pre election situation in Vermont and Maine will form the main topic of discussion. FAILS TO FIND LOST BOY Convict Leads Officers on Fruitless Trip to Cabin In Mountains. - . I WALLA . WALLA, Wash., Aug. 24. Convict James Breen made his last at tempt at locating lost Cecil Brittaln yesterday, and will begfh the serving of his five-year sentence in the peniten tiary, at the close of which he will probably be tried for selling one of Brit tain's horses while engaged in one of his wild goose chases, the penalty for which will be from one to ten years in the penitentiary. Officers of the penitentiary took Breen yesterday to the mountains, - near Toll gate, where he said the lost boy could be found. He directed the party to a cabin three miles from Tollgate. but It was unoccupied and showed no signs of occupancy for several months. Breen's excuse was that those having the chili! had evidently moved camp to a point lower down the river in order to find better grass for their horses. Warden Reed said that the trip yester day closed the Incident so far as Breen Is concerned. MONEY FOR LABOR'S FIGHT Central Federated Unon Acts on Recommendation of Gompers. JfBW YORK, Aug. 24. At a meeting of the Central Federated Union the recommendation of Samuel Gom pers, president of the American Federa tion of Labor, that the labor bodies of the country make contributions to and in support of the friends and defeat the enemies of labor, was endorsed after an animated debate. Adoption of the resolution by the centrol body will permit the several hundred unions in the American Federation of Labor in this city to vote such sums as they think advisable for the purpose.

TANGIER. Auc. 24. The defeat of the Sultan. Abd El Aziz, by the forces of his brother, Mulal Hafld, has been confirmed. The Sultan of record was surprised on the August 19 and most of his troops deserted to the side of the usurping Sul tan after the firing of a few shots. Reports indicate that the defeat of Abd El Aziz was due largely to the betrayal of his own tribesmen. Mulai Hafld has been proclaimed Sultan of Morocco at Tangier- and , announcement of the proc lamation has been telegraphed to all parts of the country. Most of the officials who have been previously under the rule of Abd El Aziz in this city, declared for Mulal Hafld. Details of the battle show that Abd El Aziz had an army superior to that of the enemy but that his artillery failed to work and possibly was deliberately tampered with. Some of the guns ex ploded, throwing the tribesmen into a panic. The vast majority of these seized the opportunity to flee during the en gagement and general pillage' broke out, many of the tribes seeking to carry off as much booty as possible. Abd El Aziz and his escort retreated in an orderly manner to Settat, his army being pursued by the victorious troops of Mulal Hafld. Abd El Aziz was accompanied in his flight by the grand vizier, the minister of foreign affairs, the French military mission and two British officers. A Tangier newspaper stated that the British officers and several French officers are missing. It Is said that the former Sultan will proceed to Casa Blanca and that he intends to go to Damascus. Usurper Triumphs Completely. PARIS, Aug. 24. News of the proc lamation of Mulal Hafld is taken here to mark the complete triumph of the usurping Sultan and the downfall of Abd El Aziz, the Sultan of record. DEATH ROLL IN NORTHWEST Judge Frederick Winton, Prominent Astoria Attorney. ASTORIA, Or., Aug. 24. Special.) Judge Frederick David Winton. for many vears one of the leading attorneys of this 'city, and a veteran of the Civil War, died here yesterday after a long illness, ioi lowing a stroke of paralysis some years ago. Judge Winton was born in Scotland 61 years ago and came to this country when quite a young man, locating in Connecti cut, where he was educated. In August, 1S62, he enlisted as a private in Company L Twenty-fourth Connecticut Infantry, and served In the Civil War for 13 months, the principal engagement he was In being the battle of fort Huason. Shortly after leaving the army. In 1S63, he came to Oregon, residing for a time at St. Helens and Kalama, where he taught school and for two years was pastor of the Methodist church. Thirty one years ago he moved to Astoria and engaged 'In the practice of law. The deceased leaves a wife and three daughters, Mrs. James Keating, of this city: Mrs. E. C. Slater and Mrs. W. J.

BERGEN. Norway, Aug. 24. The Nor wegian steamer Folgen Fonden. from Bergen to Haugesund. on the west coast of Norway, was wrecked Saturday near Skonevlks and sank in three minutes. The steamer carried 70 passengers and it is believed 40 of them were drowned. Fifteen bodies have been recovered. The captain of the steamer was among those saved. The Folgen Fonden carried on only a local traffic and it is believed that no foreigners were aboard. It is reported that a terrible panic oc curred when the steamer struck; that fearful scenes were witnessed as the vessel sank. Boats were hurriedly manned by those who had witnessed the catastrophe and they hurried to where i .......moi. had rnnn down but most of them arrived too late to rescue the passengers. BRING GOLD FROM ALASKA Incoming Steamers Have Cargoes of Yellow Dust. SEATTLE Aug. 24. The steamship Hyades arrived at midnight from Nome with $300,000 in gold dust and a small con signment of freight. Her arrival caused considerable surprise for being a freight er and starting from Nome just an hour after the steamship Northwestern, a pas senger ship it was thought the Hyades would not show for at least two days yet. The steamship Northwestern arrived at 4 o'clock this afternoon from Nome, bringing 330 passengers, $20,000 worth of fur and J150.000 in gold dust. The steamship Jefferson arrived from Skagway this morning with S9 passengers. BIG CROWD HEARS CHAFIN Prohibition Candidate Makes Speech at Eau Claire. EAU CLAIRE. Wis., Aug. 24. B. W.

Attorney General Jackson tonight announced that he had instituted proceedings against the various railroad companies In the state and their subsidiary companies, engaged in the transportation ot aniuraciie cum, alleging that in violation of the so-called Donnelly anti-monopoly act they "have effected and are now carrying out an agreement which in effect constitutes a monopoly of the hard coal business within this state, and that such an agreement restricts the production and regulates and fixes the prices at which coal can be sold1 in the State of New York." PLANS FOR HAINS' DEFENSE Insanity to Be Invoked as an Exten uating Circumstance. NEW YORK, Aug. 24. A number of conferences were held yesterday by the lawyers engaged to defend Captain Peter C. .Hains. Jr.. and his brother, Thornton, to decide a plan of defense. After interviewing a number of pros pective witnesses, John F. Mclntyre an nounced that he was prepared to prove that the visit of the two brothers to the Bayslde Yacht Chib had not had the murder of William E. Annls as its ob ject. He had several witnesses, he de clared, who could testify that Thornton Hains had entered into negotiations to purchase land at Bayside several weeks before the tragedy and. he would estab lish the fact that the Hains brothers had gone to Bayside to examine the es tate offered them and not to shoot Annls. Mr. Mclntyre announced that the line of defense to be adopted in both trials had not been definitely determined. As far as the Captain was concerned In sanity would be invoked as an extenu ating circumstance. AUTO OWNER - IS MOBBED Chicago JIan's Chauffeur Kills Boy In Germany. DRESDEN, Aug. 24. A. C. Bartlett, of Chicago, accompanied by his wife and his daughter, was automobiling from Karlsbad to Dresden last Sat urday when the car ran over and killed a boy, eight years old, in tna village of Schmiedeberg, 30 miles from here. It appears that the boy ran suddenly in front of the machine from behind a car. . The villagers made a hostile demon stration against the Bartlett party, who took refuge in a nearby hotel. From SchmlJdeberg, Mr. Bartlett tele phoned to Consul-General Gaffney at Dresden, who went down to Schmiede berg. They found, the police and vil lage authorities in session taking tes timony. It was decided Sunday morn ing that the chauffeur, a man named Cummlngs, was blameless. Mr. Bartlett said immediately that he would indemnify the family of the boy. BREAK BERKELEY RECORDS Freshman Class Largest In History of California University. UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA. Berke ley. Aug. 24. The incoming freshman class has already established two new records that of enrollment and percent age of male students in the class. The latest returns show 64 freshmen en rolled. This far exceeds In numbers any class which has ever entered the univer sity. In. 1902 605 were enrolled, and last year 609,' and these were considered rec ord classes. Four hundred and seventy one men are among the 694 enrolled, or 6S per cent. The total registration to date is 2216 undergraduates and 270 graduate students, making a grand total of 24!6 for the Fall term. In 1907 the total registration was 2240. and in 1906 was 2177, from which it can be seen that the number this year Is more than a normal increase. The regis tration of old students has had some thing to do with this,t however, since, in 1906 and 1907 there was a falling off. DEAD; BULLET IN HER HEAD Miss Winifred Parson, of New York, Found In Paris Hotel. PARTS, Aug. 24. Miss Winifred Par Bons, of New York, youngest daughter of the late Charles Parsons, president of the Home, Watertown & Ogdensburg Rail road, New York, who died in 1904. was found dead with a bullet wound In her head yesterday in her aparament In Avenue Iena. The police say that the case is one of suicide, while friends of the dead girl declare that the shooting was an acci dent. It was learned that the girl had been suffering from melancholia since the death of her fiance, a young Frenchman, Emile Maas, who died four months ago of consumption.

ELECTRICITY Great Increase in Plant When Current Is Ap plied to It. : Life RESULT OF EXPERIMENTS Sir Oliver Lodge Shows Increase of SO to 40 Per Cent In Produc tion of Grain and Fruit Under Electricity. LONDON, Aug. 24. (Special.) Stim ulation of the growth of crops by elec tricity has been attempted for some time, and the progress made' is fully explained by the eminent scientist, Sir Oliver Lodge, in the article below: Some 30 years ago a Swedish profes sor named Lemstrom sought to eluci date the aurora borealls by trying to Imitate its appearance by electrical ex periments. For this purpose he produced high tension discharges of various kinds and sent them through vacuum tubes until he got an appearance very like that of the northern lights. - Some of these experiments he conducted in his greenhouse, and he noticed inciden tally that the plants seemed to thrive under the treatment, and that the elec trification thus produced ln their neighborhood appeared to do them good. He also noticed, as remarkable, the flourishing development of plants In Arctic regions, where the sunlight was very weak, and he attributed part of this ' growth to the influence ot eiec trlc discharges. Made Tests on Plants. He pursued the matter by careful observation, taking test plants in pairs or groups, electrifying one group that is to say, discharging some elec tricity into the air above them and keeping a similar ' group away from the electricity, in order to be able to compare them. Then he photographed the two groups elde by side, and found in near ly all cases marked improvement as the result of the electrical treatment. He concluded that the needle-like shape of the leaves in fir trees, and the beard on the ears of most cereals, have the discharge of electricity as their function, and finds that they do act in this way. This observation and these experi ments of Professor Lemstrom were not.. Indeed, the beginning of the ap plication of electricity to plant growth, because pioneer attempts had been made long before, but they were the beginning of a thorough and scientific treatment of the problem. There is a natural atmospheric elec trification, and this must be playing an important part in many phenomena. The whole subject is a large one; a great deal is known about it, and vastly more remains to be known, but meanwhile It can hardly be doubted that the electrification of the air har some effect on growing plants. Plants Give Electricity. For it is found that, under the in fluence of sunshine, electrified plants can give off electricity into the air from the leaves, and the fact that the air is electrified relatively to the soil requires that the plant shall be elec trified too, so that in all probability they are in a constant state of slow electrical discharge, which becomes more rapid when the sun is up. Possibly in some sunny countries the effect is excessive, and might, with advantage, be moderated; but in this climate It turns out that artificial sup ply of electricity does Increase the ra pidity and assist the amount of growth. At any rate, the experiments of Lemstrom, which were repeatea ana extended by others, clearly pointed in the direction. So when, after some preliminary ex periments at Bitton. J. E. Newman, of Gloucester, acting in conjunction witn R. Bomford, of Salford Priors, deter mined to try the phenomenon on a .really large scale, and came to me to see if I could help them electrically and enable them to maintain a con tinuous high-tension discharge for hours together each day over ten or eleven acres by means of power fur nished by an oil engine and dynamo, I willingly assented, and set my son, Lionel Lodge, upon the job. Electrifies Whole Field. The method Is to stretch over the field to be treated a number of wires on poles, something like low telegraph wires, but high enough for loaded wagons and all the usual farming op erations to go on underneath the wires without let or hindrance. The wires are quite thin, and are supported by a few posts in long par allel spans about thirty feet apart. They are supported on the posts by elaborate high-tension Insulators, and they extend over all the acreage under experiment, a control plot of similar and under similar conditions being, of course, left without any wires. The system of conductors is then connected at one post with a generator supplying positive electricity at a po tential of something like a hundred thousand volts, and with sufficient One of the Essentials of the happy homes of to-day Is vast fund of information as to the best methods of promoting health and happiness and right living and know ledge of the world's best products.
