New Arrangement for Panama Neces-
sary.
Referring again to the limitations govern
ing the Panama Canal Company's contract
with Colombia, the commission says:
This being the situation, 1t was manifest
that, even if the privileges of the companies
could be purchased by and transferred to
the United States, they were incumbered
with charges and conditions that would not
permit this government to exercise all the
rights of complete ownership over canal
constructed by it at the Panama route. A
new arrangement is necessary If the United
States Is to undertake the work. The re-
linquishment by the canal company, with
the consent Of Colombia, Of the privileges
it has under existing concessions for CON
sderation to be agreed upon with the
United States would leave the way open for
treaty negotiations between the two gove
ernments to ascertain whether Colombia
will consent to the occupation Of it's terri
tory by the United States for the construc-
tion Of canal to be under government con-
troll, management and ownership, and If SO
whether they can agree upon terms mutual
ly satisfactory. The situation is peculiar,
as there are three parties In interest The
United States can obtain from Colombia
no concession that does not have the APP
proval of the company. and its concessions

deal of the time in various saloons about
the city, drinking heavily
Meantime the period for which he had
come TO visit Manila expired, and the COM
manding officer at Naic wired to depart
ment headquarters to inquire if Lieutenant
Hagedorn had been detained in Manila on
official business
This telegram preeipitated an investiga-
uon and the lieutenant was found and
placed IN arrest by Captain Rowland of
General Wheaton, s staff.
Meantime an inspection of Lieutenant
Hagedorn's money accounts was ordered
and Colonel Ward was sent to Naic for that
purpose A glance al the books showed
that 81 900 gold was missing and as soon as
this was Earned, Lieutenant Hagedorn was
placed in close confinement at Quartet de
Espana and charges of embezzlement pre-
ferred against him. All this was accom-
plished with great secrecy and very few
persons were aware of the arrest IT, as is
stated, the case against him is clear, it is
likely that things will go hard with him
Lieutenant Hagedoru originally came to
the Philippines as a second lieutenant of
the Sixteenth Infantry and in that faithful
regiments varied experiences won an ex.
cellent reputation for bravery and energy.
Even at that time, however, ne was noted
as hard drinker.
During the visit of Governor Taft and the
Civil Commission to the northern provinces
in 1900, Lieutenant Hagedorn was in com
mand of the guard. On the way up the line
he became intoxicated and offensive to
such an extent that Governor Taft wired
General Macarthur that he had been re-
peatedly insulted by Lieutenant Hagedorn.
The Governor was very much incensed,
but on account of HagedOrn's excellent
record the matter was overlooked In this
connection the convening of courtmartial
in this city of an unusually high rank seems
significant of summary prosecution.
Lieutenant Hagedorn was born in Ger
many and entered the United States service
as an enlisted man in the Eighth Infantry,
serving as such from 1896 to 1899. He was
commissioned in the Sixteenth Infantry
April S, 1890, and was promoted to the

NEGRO BILL RUSHED TO
THE HOUSE BY IRWIN

WASHINGTON, June Ian innocent
looking bill recently introduced by Rep
resentative Irwin, of Kentucky, entitled.
"A bill creating a commission to inquire
into the condition Of the colored people of
the United States, - has been favorably re-
ported from the house labor committee,
while the announced object of the bill is
TO learn the best means of promoting
harmony between the two races.
Democratic members of congress say
that its powers. as defined in the bill.
are practically unlimited and the commits
sion would be able TO go into almost any
question affecting the condition of the ne
gro, and inquire not only into the indus
trial and domestic life of the race, but the
political status Of negro and election laws
of the southern states.
With an ex parte report from such
commission there would again be revived
an agitation, similar TO that which sur
founded the efforts of the Republican
party to pass a force bill. The Irwin
bill is said TO possess considerable
strength in the house. having been rail-
roaded through the committee before its
true significance was discovered. 1t will
be vigorously opposed by Democrats on
the floor and II it passes the house, will
be killed in the senate

SEN. MARK HANNA
WINS OHIO FIGHT
THE CHARGES BROUGHT IN THAT
STATE WILL NOT BE INVEsTI-
GATED BY ROOSEVELT.

WASHINGTON, June 1.-THE president
and Senator Hanna have patched up their
quarrel
The president gave way to Hanna's
wishes in the Cleveland fractional night
and there will he DO investigation. Of the
charges fled against Hanna's men by
Representative Burton.
The president andHanna had long con-
ference yesterday and then it was their
differences were adjusted Collector Leach,
one of the accused officials, came to
Washington today and denied the charges
to James r. Garfield, civil service COM
missioner It was after this denial that
Hanna went to the white house.
He said the civil service commission had
examined into Burton's charges that fed
eral office holders had taken an active
part in politics and had failed TO find any
violation Of the law. As a result, the
president concluded not to send letters to
the Cleveland officials censuring them.
Hanna added that the whole thing was
too trivial to occupy the attention of the
president, Senator Hanna said today that
it would be difficult to draw the line as to
where a federal official should refrain
from taking an interest in public affairs.
and remarked with some warmth:
The mere fact that a man holds public
Office does not necessarily mean that he
should resign his rights of citizenship"
Hanna's enemies in Ohio have been send
ing many messages to Burton, urging him
to press for an investigation, but their ac-
tivity bids fair to defeat their ends, be-
cause If the president sees that politicians
are using the incident to further their own
ends he is likely to drop the whole thing

WoMAIN PRISONER SAVED
HER GUARD FROM DEATH

MACON, Ga, June I1.-Engineer Pitt
man was laughing with some friends in
Macon a couple of weeks age, when he
said he believed he was too lucky to die
from a railroad accident. He said that
nearly all OF the young men for whom he
had secured positions in the railroad SER
vice had been injured in some way, and
he had made up his mind to quit helping
his young friends TO become railroaders
He was the engineer who was in charge
Of the engine in the knights of Pvthias
wreck near here a number Of years ago,
and Il Is said that he was to have made
the run on the engine which carried En-
gineer Sullivan to death in the Camp
Creek wreck, but he was detained at home
on that occasion by a sick child. He was
the engineer whose engine tumbled from
the bridge over the Etowah river and
broke his leg. He swan out of the river
in spite of the broken leg.
Lula Robertson, the negro woman who
figured so heroically in the scenes just af-
ter the wreck. was kept in Bibb's jail last
night Guard B. II. Pearson went back to
Atlanta for treatment. The woman had
every opportunity TO run away, but she
went to the river, half mile away, and
secured water with which to battle her
guard back to life. AS I'm his delirium he
cried for somebody TO keep his prisoner
from getting away, she bathed his head
want TO get away as long as she could
help 10 save his life.
The woman is being sent to the peniten-
tisry for life for killing her husband in
Rome. Her husband was trying to whip
her. He was drunk. She struck him with
a club and he afterwards died from the
injury.
