Elemental report of the itshmian can
al commission in the proposition of
the Panama Canal company to dispose
of it's property to United States for
$40,000,000 has been delivered to Pres
ident Roosevelt. The members of the
commission refuse to discuss the ma
ture of the report, and like reticence
was maintained at the White House.
but it was stated on excellent author
ity that the report unanimously rec
ommends that the offer of the Panama
company be accepted.
The report, it is stated is very vol
luminous, going into all phases of the
question and attempting to meet OBJ
jections that legal complications will
arise out of the purchase or that there
will be any international difficulties
should the deal be contaminated. The
report was completed about o'clock
this evening and after being signed
by the members of the commission
was carried by Admiral Walker.
chairman of the commission, to Secre-
tary Hay, who transmitted it to the
president. The latter will send the
report to congress the first of the
week, probably Monday
The report goes fully into the steps
which must be taken in order to in
sure a perfect title to the United
States, for, in addition to the present
Panama Canal company, the old Or
ganization and the Colombian govern
ment must be reckoned with. The re-
port finds, however, that the new
company can give a clear title. 1t is
stated that when the commission
made its recent report favoring the
Nicaraguan route no offer to sell to
this government had been made by the
Panama company. The offer of $40,-
100000 made in behalf of the company
by M. Lampre, it is said, changed the
situation completely.

mission unanimously reports that in view
of the conditions that now exist, and all
the facts and circumstances upon which
its present judgment must be based, the
commission is of the opinion that the most
practicable and feasible route for the 18th

covered a body lying about yards from

thoroughfare and the Hammond pond Ice
houses. and a short distance from the
crossing of the Consolidated roads East

Dr. Charles III. French was summoned.

composed and eaten by maggots and In
sects, so much so as TO be unrecognzable.
1t was assumed the body was that OF
Crossley Ashworth who lived at Front

appeared on Saturday last This was
later found to be correct.
The man was 62 years OF age and lived
with his son-in-law, Thomas Simpson. He

police were notified on Tuesday he
was missing All search failed to reveal
any traces OF the man.
When found this morning the gold
watch and chain were on the body. and
there were no indications OF foul play.
The supposition is the man wandered
away and got into the brush and high
grass where the body was found. and
which locality is seldom freduented by
the residents The grass about the body
was matted down as though the man died
IN much agony The body was turned
