OREXiOMAX MOWS BUREAU. Wash ington, Deo. Dr. Henry Waldo Coe, who has just returned from Panama, called on the President today to report on hla observations of progress on the Panama Canal. He said he waa much pleased with the progress being made, but told the President the canal would be conipleted one year earlier than now seems possible. If he will discharge Democrat who are filling responsible positions on , the Isthmus and replace them with Republicans. If this Is done, he says, tho canal will be oompleted by the close of Mr. Taft's first Administra tion. Dr. Coe informed the President that many of the best positions at Panama sra now filled by Democrats, thoroughly out of harmony with' Republican poli cies and Inclined to retard work on the canal because of their political bias. Dr. Coe further stated that reperU of the instability of the Gatun. dam were absolutely without foundation: that the dam is underlaid with rock throughout its full length and. when completed, will be entirely safe. What was described in press dispatches as a dangerous slide was deliberately brought about by en gineers who were seeking to displace the mud In the bed of the old canal with a rock foundation. They purposely sank the rock on the bed of the old canal, with a view to forcing mud out of the trenches and to surface, and in thia they suc ceeded.
