(Bt the' Intern tUml News Serrli-e. .
Washington, Dec; 8. There was a de
cided flurry at; the White House tooay
when the cream of the California expo
sition delegation, 25 strong, called py
appointment to pay; their, respects to
Pn siiient Taft at the White House, and
later at the other Cend of Pennsylvania
avenue descended on Uncle Joe Cannon.
It was a! cordial reception in each In
stance, tut in the case or jne preaiueiu
there was marked evidence in the thor-
ouRhly informal, colloquy that ensued
.that If there shall be only tne exposl-

and all the time. Experience has com
pelled him for he time to straddle the
question, and he so Intimated, going so
far as to say ihat he had previously
gone on . record as In favor of two expo
sitions, i But he quickly added:
"I do believe California Is an appro
prlute place for the 'exposition.
So many members of the delegation
'tad been previously "known to the pres
ident that the foiynaiity of the call
was appreciably relaxed, j . But ; it ; as
fiimed necullar imcortanc after the in
dividual greetings had been exchanged
w hen the president abruptly asked: v

President Btports on Canal
"As soon as the canal H completed,"
'.res ponded Congressman Kahn. "It has
will bs practically finished in 1914 and
possibly even before that, so that an
early completion makes It all the more
necessary for action at this session of
congress." :';) ': '.'.'"',
That Is true," the president replied,
'and It looks now as If the work will
be far enough along by the middle of
1913 to admit of "use of a part of the
ejina.Lat. least . ' If .Any .' of., yoil take
the trouble to read my message you
will see that it U made a special feat
ure." "Of course, wo always read all your"
mefcsages,'.' Interjected one of the con
gressmen,." ".Well, you might not be able to fin
ish this one during the short session,"
laughingly replied the president. i
Continuing ho explained that the
chief Object of Kis recent trip to the
canal had been to Verify the reports
that work had progressed so, far that
an opening earlier than that original
ly contemplated would be feasible,
; A. tittle Joke With. Wheeler. .
Congressman Julius Kahn presented
each member of the delegation to the
president - and the- Introductions had
scarcely begun when the room ... was
filled with laughter,
"How do you do, Lr.' Wheeler?? said
Mr. Taft, addressing the president of
tha University of California. Tou
have had no hand:. In running the gov
ernment for two: years now, have you?"
Whereupon the Californlans, recalling
Dr.. Wheeler's friendship with Colonel
JlooBevelt, Joined the president to"" a
hearty laugh at athe educator's expense.
' Xtot Angeles, Han Who Mads Bit. ,
"Ah, I' remember -Mr. Scott," said the
president, addressing : Joseph i Scott,
president of the Ixig Angeles chamber
of commerce. ."Hoar Is your booster or
ganization la ; hog Angeles - getting
alongT" f.'j - , ' ,
' Mr, Scott had made a particular Impression-on
the president .when the lat
ter was In Los Angeles. '' The question
of what Los -ngeles wanted of the
eovemment was then under discussion
and Mr. Scott pointed his plea with
elory: . . . V '
"A beggar was seeking alma of an
Impecunious housewife and "was so suc
cessful in his: plea that she unally re
lented and said: -r . . f
'Here is a nickel for you, but remem
ber I give it to you not because' you
ask me, but because it gives me pleas
ure to help you.' . ;wcll, madaraeV-.-xe-eponded
the beggar, 'why don't you
make it a quarter and have a really
good timer " ' " ! ' -
The point struck home and the preal
dont chuckled at Intervals oyer It
r Boosters Call on Cannon. ; '
' An hour later the party was received
by Speaker , Joseph G. .Cannon; The
aged leader was In excellent Spirits and
he lived up to his reputation as a story
teller. He !Xchanged"a bit of . repartee
with his visitors and with an arm over
the shoulder, of Theo.dortf A.'.' Belli- he
told how Mr. Bell . had gone into the
lianville district and .opposed him on
the stump.' " '
"My opponent, as" If happened," said
Mr. Cannon, "was also named. Bell, and
long after your Mr.' Bell had gone the
opposition would bolster up its cause by
saying. Ton , heard him speak and you
saw htm. r-'ow, wlH yoto vote for hlmr "
. Vies, Mr. Speaker,' said Mr. Bell, "but
you received more votes that time than
you did in the recent campaign."
Speaking of ths recent campaign, Mr.
Cannon said:
l have seen several political aval
anches, but this one was not an
avalanche; -lt was not mors than a
gentle evening breeze ' compared " with
the cyclonq ,of 1S94."

When the time eame for stating con
cessions, Senator Cummins stood for
the whole lead or nothing. He refused
to-be satisfied with minor concessions
and practically delivered an ultimatum,
so that there was no cnanos of the ad
ministration seourlrg the support of the
progressives without a complete reversal
of policy. , His refusal to accept the
terms is viewed here tonight as amount
ing to a warning to the executive that
the administration may expect the In

preme court- It Is argued that the
creation of this court would relieve, the
supreme court of a great proportion
of Its cases, would expedite business
and bring .about a speedy trial and
determination of cases. '',';
Election by Districts.
It would obviate the necessity of Add
ing justices to the supreme bench, would
permit of. appeals being heard f rota the
original evidence of cases, decreasing
the cost pi litigation. . .
Under the. old constitution it was pro
vided that prosecuting attorneys should
be. elected by districts and 'should eon
form to such regulations and perform
such' duties ss the legislature should
direct This section is wiped out. leav
ing no constitutional provision for the
election of prosecuting attorneys, it
is possible, therefore, for the legisla
ture and the people to leave the prose
cuting attorneyships as. elective offices
of four years' ' duration, ' a$ . they, now
are by: statute, or to make the office
appointive and for a longer or shorter

Many lawyers are howling lustily at
the provisions of section 3 of the amend
ment The firsts clause of this section
provides that the supreme court shall
tot remand any case for new trial unless
the supreme court can say that there
was no evidence to support the verdict
of the trial court . ... .
Hay Hold Court Anywhere.
The lawyers contend that this pro
vision makes the supreme court In ef
fect a- trial' xourt.r-r'?.'';1?1'"-'::;-:.
Another clause provides that the su
prente -court, upon hearing an appeal,
may modify the Judgment of the trial
court. Irrespective of error in the trial
of the case, If It considers that the
veraict or tne lower court is wound.
Lawyers" do"not. like this clause as It
practically puts an end to the 'present
system of long delays and useless liti
gation on purely technical grounds..
Section 4 of the amendment makes It
possible for the supreme court to hold
sessions at any place It may decide,
provided it holds one terra each year at
the state capital. , '
The three-fourths Jury verdict of the
amendment has been widely discussed
and does not meet with objection from

Ontario Gold Mining District
Collects Death Toll Others
May Have Met Similar Fate
It Is Feared.

Ottawa, Ont, Doc. S.1 Slowly, sinking
In a see, of mud, at least five men have
gone down to death, swallowed in the
"Honey Pots" that lie around Frederick
House lake, in the newly discovered
gold mining region of northern Ontario.
The story has been brought from the
new gold fields by W. R. McLfay, min
ing engineer and prospector, of Mon-t
treal, who has spent , the summer in the
Tumms district and who, emaciated and
gaunt and aged, has come back to civ
ilisation to recover his health. ; Mr. Mc
Leay says that Just before he started
ths fall rains had converted a large
part of the district in sloughs and wide,
deep patches of yielding, shaklngf solL
When he left camp a little more than
two weeks ago nearly everything had
been eaten and starvation stared the
miners in the face., . t . ,
Walk Into Beatlu . -"
Some of the miners. In . desperation,
faced the perils of a long tramp to
Blsco , to bring hack food, the general
load being 100 pounds of provisions to
the man, strapped ' on the back. The
most difficult and deadly part of the
Journey was along the shore of Fred
erick House lake, where there was an
old Hudson Bay post - ' ;.; - :.;
"It f was on this part of the trail,"
said tin McLeayj "that I saw, n my
way out, two men with loads on their
backs ,slowly sinking down 1 into the
mud and disappearing from sight Their
cries and shrieks were frightful to hear.
There were 'several others around, but
we could do nothing for the two un
fortunates who were i engulfed ; before
our eyes while w stood nearby abso
lutely helpless to afford any assistance.
"One man told me that he witnessed
two 'stalwart fellows sink to 'their
deaths ' under v similar', circumstances,

Went to his doom In a like manner lower
down the trail. It Ms quite probable
that there were several others who met

Washington, Dec. ' 3.- John C Stevens,
an engineer of the geological1 survey.
tells of an estimated 10,600,000 horse
power available in the Columbia river
basin. He has, with the assistance of
other engineers, and cooperating with
the state of Washington, examined the
water powers of the Cascade range in
southern Washlngtoii,'"t',?.FV..': w
They refer in their report to these
streams, the Klickitat, 'the, White Sal
mon, the Little White .Salmon,- the
Lewis, the Toutle, and other streams.
These rivets wjth their tributaries will
afford about 895,000 horsepower. The
Klickitat will furnish 154,000 horsepower
at low water. It was surveyed 73 miles
along the total fall of 3255 feet. The
general, elevation of the range is tOOO
to 8009 feet '
The three Important 'requisites of
water power, rapid fall.' abundant wa
ter, and comparative uniformity of flow,
are found in these streams, and Mr.
Washburn believes the great resources
of forests, mines and oils In that re
gion' offer promise of a good market
for the water power. ,'''
