PICK OFF PRACTICAL MEN Admits Oliver's Company Is Down and Out, but Says Roosevelt Must Have Business Man Xo Salt Proposed. AUGCSTA.i!v March 2. "We are down and out," said J. B. McDonald, president of the Panama Construction Company,.7m discussing the rejection of the bid of W. J- Oliver for the con struction of -the Panama Canal. "They have taken " the matter out. of our hands, and It now rests with the Pres ident. '. The- responsibility should be placed where it belongs. "I canjut see .why our- bid should have beem "rejected, except that it is due to the. far-reaching machinations of the political influences - that have worked against all bids that threaten actual .obstruction' of -the big. canal. It is haruMy pecessary to say that these interests are those of the trans-con-tlnental'rjtllfuads. It is generally, re-cognized that this agency was' working to :defeat . the project long before ;i.t ever -took .tangible shape. "Y-e ;, will notice that, one by one, the practical men who have been .Iden tified with the cffnal have been picked oft by big financial, interests. It is hot difficult ,to trace'. 'the1 relations. This is veTy poor business, however, for the canal,. Is bound to come, if not dur ing .this administration; then during another. It is Inevitable. "I cannot see where, the President and his associates are right, apd do not see how they will be able to dig the. canal. Sooner or later the ditch will have to be dug under the business like management of a constructor who has figured cost down to a minimum. Our company was willing to perform every item of the agreement required by the-Government. It was our un derstanding that, when the conditions imposed by the Government were met, the contract went to -'our company. We have made: every ' preparation at con siderable expense and were prepared to begin shoveling dirt on or before the time limit of 60- days." Mr. McDonald, does not. believe that there is anything in the report that W. J. Oliver will enter suit against the Government for the preliminary expenses of 940,000 Incurred in making the bid, saying: "I am certainly not going to Wash ington to confer with him furthe in the matter. I said our company will be dissolved as rapidly as possible, and that will end the matter. I have not heard a word from Mr. Oliver since the rejection of the bids." STIRS VP CAN'AJLAFjFAIRS. Tlliriinn 'Wants to 'liriow About Ite iJectlon of Oliver's Bid. , WASHINGTON. March 2. Senator Till man Introduced a resolution today calling Upon the President for all papers relating to the recent agitation of the question of having the Panama Canal built by con-, tract, and In support of the resolution said that Mr. Oliver had compiled with. all the requirements, and . that his bid had been rejected after a. . delay, of month or more. ' . . ". He expressed dissatisfaction with the course of the canal management, and said that his suspicion had led him to be lleve that the intention hadt been to cow-. pel Mr. Oliver "to let in some of his com petitors, who were too greedy on -their bids." ... Senators Hopkins and T,odee made ob jection to the present consideration ' of the resolution, and under "the - rules :of the Sei.ate it went over until another. day. In the courso of the discussion Senator Carmack said that Mr. Oliver had spent from J3O.00O to WO.OuO of his own money in complying with the re quirements of the Administration. In a spoecn supporting the resolution Mr. Tillman said the whole country " wanted the canal constructed with as little scandal as possible. "There have been 'Borne remarkable occurrences in connection with this work, he con tinued. "The resignation of Mr. Wal lace," Tillman said, "was abused by the Secretary of War. Then came the in formation thnt Mr. Shonts was retain ing his railroad business; that the canal work was insufficient to occupy nis en tire time, and the statement that he was going out. Then came the Stevens resignation. Now comes the rejection of Mr. Oliver's bid for the work." Mr. Oliver, he said, was an efficient and able contractor and his bid was the lowest. "But Tit once hocus-.pocus came into the game. As I understand It, Mr. OH ver haa complied with every require ment. Now Oliver has disappeared and the Army engineers are said to be put upon the Job. I want a little informa tion." said Mr. Tillman. Mr. Culberson remarked that the one great engineering problem was the con struction of the Uatun dam, and he wished the resolution amended so as to CRITICISES CANAL POLICY. JIarrlnian Says Roosevelt's Course Would Bankrupt Railroad. NEW YORK, March 2. The World, in an interview with E. H . Harrlman, printed this morning, quotes him a3 follows: It is too bad that a man with such an alert mind as President Roosevelt has should not have subjected himself to more discipline. Mr. Roosevelt is a very able man. . He is capable of doing things. If there was "only more fixity of purpose." It was the day when announcement had been made of another change in Panama Canal affairs by order of the President, Why don't you build the canal?" Mr. Harriman was asked. "I would if. I had a 'chance," he .re plied. "Let me tell you this: We spend more money every year on improvements In the Union Pacific system than can be expended in any year on the canal. If we ran railroads like Panama Canal affairs are conducted, there would be a great crop of receiverships in this coun try. The whole trouble in Panama is lack of executive head. How can you expect engineers to carry out work decently when it is impossible to get a decision on important points from headquarters until ' three or four weeks?.. - You must have an executive" head in every department, an executive with a fixed purpose. In .view. You must nave such ' a system as will enable any part of it to have -an" immediate and firm de cision when any question arises. Then things can be done,' Charge Teller AVlth Assault.

Sweeping Definition as Temporary Insanity of Mental Condition Un der Which Man Kills One Who Has Wronged Him. CULPEPPER, Va., March 2. The at tempt of the defense to show that Phillip and James A. Strother, charged with the murder of William F. Bywaters.. their brother-in-law, were laboring under emo tional Insanity on the night of the shoot ing was the feature, of their trial today. Two witnesses, one called by the defense to prove its theory of "irresistible im pulse" and the other, by - the state in rebuttal, gave their opinions. Dr. Charles -Clark, connected with the Government Hospital - for the Insane at St. Elizabeth, for the defense declared In the broadest sense his belief that the 'two brothers were mentally deranged on the night of the tragedy. The testimony ot the state's witness. Dr. W. F. Drewery, connected with the State Central Hos pital for Insane Negroes, was given with caution, and was "that the Strother bro thers were ' not In - his belief insane.' After reading the hypothetical question he stated it as his belief that the men were induced "by the greatest anger- almost to the limit to do the deed." To further' controvert the "emotional in sanity" plea, - the. prosecution will call a third alienist. May Go to Jury Wednesday. Another development was Judge Harri. son's ruling that any evidence in rebuttal not pertinent to the Strother- brothers mental condition at the time of the com mission of the deed will not be permitted to go to the jury. It is not expected that the case will go to the jury before Wednesday, although Judge Harrison has requested that the opposing counsel .prepare their instruc tions as soon as possible. "In. my opinion," said Dr. Clark, as Mr. Moore for the defense ceased reading the hypothetical question, "the act was an irresistible impulse, and it can also be designated scientifically as impul sive insanity, the result of a highly emo tional state brought on by many insults to which the accused had been subject ed." When the witness was turned over to the prosecution,1 Captain Wood asked Dr. Clark: - Ruled by Insane -Impulse. 'These men were sane up to the time of the crime, and sane -afterward and during the tragedy they exercised their power 'in connection with one act when they perpetrated the homicide. Wherein do you draw the distinction between what you-.call imnulslve insanity ana rage ana anger, such as any man might have borne in his bosom?" "I- framed my opinion in this case upon the hypothetical question, and I believe it can be logically put into two separate acts. "The first when they received infor mation at various times of wrongdoing upon the part of the deceased and the information accumulated. As I under stand, they had a consultation, met and considered and waited and reasoned and determined finally to tell this young man he must marry their sister or they would kill him. Between the exe cution of the act and the time they made their decision there was an in terval. During that interval the mental process was one of peace, as is evi denced by the fact that they congratu lated him and took his hand and kissed their sister. And there the mental pro cess ended. The new process was due to a sudden impulse. The emotions they had labored under as a. result of the insults wers dormant in thera and be came aroused. I think the emotional condition, overwhelmed the intellectual process and that the act' was not com mitted under full volition of power.' The-witness said he thought that from the time the deceased made sudden break to get out of the room, from that time on until the end of the qrlme there was mental derangement. Only Angry to Last Degree. With the conclusion of Dr. Clark's testi mony, the defense rested its case. The state then called Dr. W. F. Drewery to rebut Dr. Clark s testimony. He was asked whether the effect of the efforts of the Strother brothers to restrain By- waters from leaving the house had ma terially affected their mental condition, "I should say," he said, "that they were angry almost to the last degree. "Were the men in your opinion insane?" he was asked. "No." , Mr. Lee for the defense asked: "Is the RESPECTED PIONEER MINISTER PASSES AWAY BUSINESS MEN STUDY CAXAL Spokesman Declares Progress Better Than Could Have Hoped. PANAMA, March 2. In order to study effectively conditions here, the visiting members of the Commercial Clubs of Boston, Chicago, Cleveland, Cincinnati and St. Louis, who arrived at Panama yesterday, have appointed committees on hygiene and sanitary conditions, plan of management, climate as it effects Amer icans, housing and food conditions, effi ciency of the labor employed, progress of canal construction and social and racial conditions. The visitors called on President Am ador this morning and the Panama Canal CH'b today gave a reception. At the reception at the Tivoli Hotel last night. President Amador and Secretary of the Government Arias. ex-Governor Francis,. of Missouri. Chief Engineer Stev ens. Professor Elihu Thomson, the elec trical expert, and many of the chiefs of canal divisions made speeches. Mr. Thom son said: " "It is a magnificent enterprise, organ ized upon a most substantial basis, and it is progressing as we could hardly have hoped.it' would. I'have been thinking' that a sea-level canal was best, but. after looking over the matter, I have come em phatically to the conclusion that a lock canal is not .only the best but the only one possible."

A Bennett, Feb. 26, Oregon has lost one of Its most devoted pioneer preachers. Alexander Bennett was -born in Somerset County, Pa., De cember 25, 1824. When he was 'six years of age his parents removed to Ohio, where he grew to man hood. There he was converted and joined the Methodist Church and later the United Brethren Church, with which organization he re mained until his death. While in Ohio he taught In the public schools for several years, and in 1853 came -to Oregon, via Panama, arriving September 25. His first sermon was preached in Yamhill County, May 11, 1855. He was present at and assisted in the organization of the first Oregon annual conference of the United Brethren Church on August 15. 1856, and since that time attended all but three of the annual confer ences. February 25, 185S. he was married to Margaret Hendrickson. To this union was born eight children, three of whom with his wife have preceded him to the better world. In 1SG4 he removed to a spot near the present site of Philomath, and had made this place his home ever since. , . In 1879 he was married to Sarah C. Clark, and to this union two children were bqrn, who, with the wife, still survive him. Mr. Bennett was in the active ministry continually from 1S55 to 1900, since which date poor health had kept him from acttive work. He had served as pastor on nearly every field of labor in Western Oregon, was for nine years pre siding eider in the' Oregon Conference and was four times delegate to the General Conference of the church. Father Bennett's last illness was brief, and he was conscious to the last. He passed peacefully away, aged 82 years, 2 months. He was a de voted worker, an excellent preacher, a wise counsellor, and among the people with whom he haa labored no man has greater love and respect than Father Bennett. ' The funeral was held at the home, and was conducted by Rev. Walter Reynolds, pastor of the Philomath United Brethren Church. h vj r t n . a intHI ..

Governor Hughes ' tonight declared that his de sire was that there should be a re count of the votes cast in the mayoral ty election In this city in 1905. It Is not a question of personalities, he add ed, but of the seating . of the candi date elected. The Governor was the chief speaker at a complimentary banquet tendered to "Tody" Hamilton, whose retirement to private - life was the occasion of a notable gathering of newspaper men and other friends of the publicity agent. The banquet room of the Waldorf-Astoria had been made over to represent the interior of a circus tent, with sawdust rings, ticket agents' wag ons, paper hoops, banners and other show appurtenances. John Hennessy, president of the New York. Press Club, was toastmaster. . . Tody" responded feelingly to the kind things said of him, and expressed his affection for newspaper men gen erally. Some of his reminiscences went back to the early '60s. Mr. Hughes created amusement when he said that, though he had never per formed in a circus ring, he had had experience with a "trained elephant." Speaking more, seriously, the Govern or emphasized the necessity for hon est elections. He aroused great en thusiasm when he declared for a re-? count of the mayoralty vote. npv. A.

Part of this only was true, it is stated. He. was found to be intensely loyal to his mother, but he was found to be poor and had no rich or Influential friends. When the case was laid before ,; him, with Mr. Chandler's letter, be consented to. act, but made one provision, illustrating.. It is said, his firm Intent to be both wise and just. The plan he proposed was that of at once seeing his mother and investi gating her mental Btate before he finally committed himself to a move. Glover and his daughter, Mary, accord ing to the story, saw Mrs. Eddy on Jan uary 2 last, and whatever doubts Glover may have had as to his duty were re moved.
