"He said he could not consider the offer and I took his answer as final. Since my visit I have learned through some of his friends that he was considering the offer. 1 have considered the names of a number, of men and to certain members of the police department mentioned there have come various objections. I didn't go aa far with any others n my consideration as I did with Mr. Griffiths. I understand he is now re volving the matter in his mind. I probably shall hold up the matter of an appointment, although.it was my un- erstanding that he would not take the place." Mr. Gill said he hoped to be able to nnounce the name of the new Police Chief Monday. Austin E. Griffiths was a candidate for the Mayoralty at the February pri mary, finishing in fourth place in the leld of nine. Mr. Griffiths has decided views on the police department.

The Woodwards visited Newport' and then alked to Yachats, 2 miles south, and back again, meeting many interesting persons and having unique experiences.

(Continued From First Page.) that Thaw, released on bail, would not be a menace to the community. He said that the investigation of the commis slon was inadequate in that it took no account of the evidence introduced at earlier Inquiries into Thaw's sanity. He cited the case of James W. Davis, whom, he said. Dr. George A. Blumer, a member of the Thaw commission, re leased from restraint as an insane per son. Davis, he went on, recovered his san ity, but, on obtaining his freedom, promptly chopped off the head pf his sister-in-law, the erson regarding whom he cherished delusions. This imlied comarisou of Thaw and Davis fanned the risoner's hatred into new name. Thaw's "aeal to the people" Is be lieved to have been prepared without the aid of his counsel. It bears in ternal evidence of being a purely Thaw production. STRANGE DISEASE RAGES EPIDEMIC IS REPORTED FROM CHI. HUAHt'A NEAR JF.CORI.

ANNUAL COST IS FIGURED Allowing. 3 Per Cent Return, on $375,000,000 Investment, Total or $19,250,000 Is Required to Meet Expenditures. NEW YORK. March 14. Exemption of coastwise shipping using the Pan ama Canal from the payment of tolls would mean a loss for the. first 10 years of J20.000.000. Professor Emory R. Johnson, of the University of Penn sylvania, said tonight at the 26th an nual dinner of the University of Penn sylvania men of New York. This loss, ho said, would have to be borne by the taxpayers of the United States. Professor Johnson was appointed special United States Commissioner of Panama traffic tolls by President Taft will be necessary .to secure revenues - Another speaker was Lindley M. Garrison, Secretary of War. Revenue Must Be 910,250,000. "To enable the canal to carry itself commercially without being a continu ous burden on the taxpayers of the country," Professor Johnson said, "it will eb necessary to secure revenues of 119,250,000 per annum. The total is made up of $3,500,000 for annual maintenance and operation,. $500,000 for canal sanitation. $250,000 payable as an annuity to t!e republic of Pan ama, $11,250,000 to cover the interest at 3 per cent on the $375,000,000 in vested in the canal and $3,750,000 to provide a. sinking fund of 1 per cent to return tp the treasury the cost of the canal during the next 50 years. "This revenue must be secured only from the tells collected from theves sels that ui.c the canal. If all vessels paid tolls the revenue of the canal at the end of lt years would cover the annual outlay for operating expenses and charges on capital. If the owners of American ships engaged in the coastwise trade are excused from the payment of tolls the revenues will not suffice to make the canal self-supporting. Exemption Increases Burden. "To exempt coast-rise ships from the payment of tolls means a decrease of at least $20,000,000 in revenue during the first 10 years and means the addi tion of that amount to the burdens to be carried by the taxpayers of the country. . "The adherence to sound business principles in the management of the canal is predicted by business pru dence. The adherence to the principle of neutrality in the management of the canal is a larger question involv ing our relations to foreign countries. From 1859 to August 24, 1912, the United States adhered strictly and wisely to the doctrine of neutrality in the use of an isthmian canal by all nations on terms of equality."

WIGS T0vRAISE BIG HOTEL Hostelry Ordered to Move Out Eclipse of Hairdresser. . of PARIS. March 14. (Special.) An ex traordinary situation has been created in Nice by the decision of the local tribunal in a case brought against one of the finest and newest hotels in the town by a hairdresser and wigmaker carrying on business in a street at the side of the hotel. The hairdresser sued the proprietor of the hotel on the ground that his light had been spoiled by the height of the building that had been put up so near him, that his wigmaking re quired a strong light, and was in reality a work of art of great value. He merely asked that the hotel be pulled down. The extraordinary thing is that judg ment has been given in the hairdres ser's favor, and the hotel proprietor has been ordered to take down a building representing a vast sum of money. The hotel proprietor has naturally deter mined to appeal. y FINE CATHEDRAL IN DANGER Stonework of Antwerp Edifice Is Wearing Away. ANTWERP, March 13. (Special.)
