STEVENS TRIED
TO BE DICTATOR
Chief Engineer of Canal Wrote
Order to President Telling
Him What He , Must Do" and
Must Not Do and. Is Fired. ""
New Tork, ' Feb. 2S. The New Tork
Tribune says John F. Stevens' resigna
tion aa chief of the Panama canal com
mission came aa a result of his over
estimating his necessity at the head of
the engineering work on the Panama
canal, and his assuming to dictate terms
and policies to the president. When W.
JT, Oliver's bid for canal work was taksn
under consideration. It la said that Stev
en's cabled that Oliver was not con
genial to him and that the award of
the contract to Oliver would necessitate
his resignation." Then it la said the
next mail leaving Colon carried abet
ter from. Stevens to the president, the
like of which never before was ad
dressed to the president of the United
States. " .''
In terms remarkable for their dlcta
torlalnesa Stevens Informed the presi
dent of his displeasure at hearing re

he would be pointed to aa the man who
built the Panama canal. Steven de
clared that he , was determined to
share In the glory of building the canal
with no man or to.be cross-examined or
dictated to by any committee of con
areas or hampered by petty legislation.
