POLICEMEN WERE CALLED.
Trouble Over Ownership of the
Underwood Hotel,

The presence last night of a detail of po-
licemen at the Hotel Underwood. corner OF
Grand and Washington avenues. where they
were sent to preserve the peace. created
considerable excitement In that neighbor-
hood.
The trouble began early in the evening
when Mr.. and Mrs. ]. W. Baldridge claim
they were evicted from the hotel by two
detectives from private agency, whom
they assert were summoned by Miss NJ d.
Hodges. who, until November 2. was in pos
session. Mr.. and Mrs. Baldridge say that
they. were not permitted to collect their be-
lcneings. They declare that they sought
the assistance of their attorney. H. NJ.
Moore. who asked the police to interfere in
behalf OF his clients. Last night at u
O'Clock Mr.. and Mrs. Baldridge were again
in possession of the hostelry.
According to Attorney Moore the differ
ence between the Baldridges and Miss
Hodges grew out of the sale by the latter
to the Baldridges Of the furniture and good
will of the hotel.
Miss Hodges. who is a guest at the hos
telry. refused to discuss the affair last
night.

At its session at the MONDAY Club yes
terday the Executive Board Of the Hospital

A. L. Shapleigh presided and there were
also present Messrs. f. II. Sempe. Festus
J; Wade. b, j. Taussig. F. c. Case and
Elias Michael.
The first year of the association the MEN,
bers of the Executive Committee had yellow

have been used by so many that members
of the board cannot he identified by them.
The Badge Committee was ordered to fur
rish each member of the board with
badge similar to the one used in previous
years, but trffie larger and with the words
Executive Board on each.
ii. n. Davis reported the donation of
room on the ground floor of the Turner

close to the rooms Of the Business Mems
League, which are used on Hospital Satur-

REPt BI.IC SPECIAL.
Washington. Nov. 12-Here are some Of
the important points in the final report OF
| the Isthmian Canal Commission which was
practically completed to-day:
First-Consideration Of all the information
obtained with regard to the Nicaragua and
| Panama Canal routes established that sthe
former is the most practicable and feast
BILE route for an isthmian canal to be under
| the control, management and ownership Of
the United States"
Second-Prowsion IS made for a canal
! which shall have a depth OF thirty-five feet
and width at the bottom of a least $50
feet. and which shall be provided with eight
locks. four on either side of Lake Mica
ragua.
Third-The estimated cost of the con-
struction OF the canal by the Nicaragua
route is about S200o0 600. This Is SIS 900. 90
more than Il will cost to complete the Pan
anna Canal. excluding the price that would
have to be paid for acquiring the Panama
Canal concession.
While the Panama Canal. after compile
tion, would be shorter than the Nicaragua
Canal and would have fewer locks and less
curvature. enabling saving of twenty-one
hours for the passage Of a ship from the
Atlantic to the Pacific Ocean this advan-
tage is offset by the fact that the Nica-
ragua route is nearer TO the United States
and u ship sailing between New York and
San Francisco could save time by using
the Nicaragua instead of the Panama route
Fourth-The commission declines TO rec
ommend for adoption a proposal submitted
by the Panama Canal Company relative to
the price which shall be paid by the United
States for its concession. Trammeled by
the concession. Colombia is not free TO enter
into independent arrangements with the
United States.
F1fth--Unlike Colombia Nicaragua and
Costa Rica are absolutely unbound by any
engagements and are prepared to make
liberal concessions TO the United States to
induce II to build the Nicaragua Canal.

SAYS RUMOR IS UNFOUNDED.
James Campbell Declares Subur-
bans Terms Are Not Accepted.

A rumor to the effect that the st. Louis
Transit Company Is to secure control Of the
st. Louis and Suburban Railway was re-
vived yesterday with more persistency
among local stock brokers. The belief In the
likelihood Of the consolidation was undoubt-
edly based on the recent activity of Transit
stock on the New York Stock Exchange
and the visit of Jas. Campbell and Samuel
kennard to New York
1t Is asserted that Charles Turner presi-
dent Of the Suburban Railway, was also I'm
New York in conference with Messrs
Campbell and Kennard, but this was denied
By Mr.. Campbell. When seen last night in
reference to the alleged purchase OF the
Suburban. Mr.. Campbell denied that his
sojourn I'm New York was for the purpose
OF arranging the terms of sale. He said:
The advisabiity of buying the st. Louis
and Suburban Railway has been discussed
at different times by officers OF the Transit
Company. and propositions Save been made
to the Suburban people. but at no time
have we been able to meet the terms on
which the Suburban company insisted. |

any foundation in fact"
