PANAMA COMPANY OFFERS TO
SELL TO THE UNITED STATES

Washington, Jan. A formal propo-
sition to sell the Panama canal prop
critics to the United States govern
ment for S4O,OOO,OOO today was trans
nlitted to the authorities here. It was
made by NJ. Bouefve, representing the
company, to Admiral Walker, as chair
man Of the isthmian canal commits
sion.
M. Bouefve acted under cable in
structions received today from the
Panama canal officials at Paris. Ad-
miral Walker brought the proposition
TO the knowledge of the secretary of
state and the president, going directly
to the state department for that pur-
pose.
The submission of this offer carries
out d plan which has been under con-
slderation for the last two weeks. The
nrst step was taken when NJ Hutin
retlred from the presidency of the
Panama Canal company.
This brought about an entire change
IN the agreement, the main feature of
the change being that those in author
lty desired TO make a definite offer of
the Panama properties to this govern
ment for $4,000, 900.
Ihere have been numerous meetings
at Paris with this end in view, but the
one which brought about the final
proposition was held yesterday.
1t had been the intention to make
the offer through Mr.. Edward Lampre
secretary-generalo Of the company. who
Is due to arrive at New York tomor-
row, but the meeting appears to have
taken a view that the offer should he
made without waiting for the arrival

SAYS PERRAULT MUST GO
SPECIAL to The HeraIdn


Washington, Jan. 4.-The civil SER
vice commission is confident that its
call for removal of Surveyor General
Joseph Perrault of Idaho for violation
Of civil service laws will receive prompt
attention.
In fact, it is believed that the COM
mission, which has been in conflict with
Mr.. Ferrault several years. lately re-
ceiyed d tip that it would be supported
in its renewal of efforts to bring Per
rault to time. The present action seems
to have been precipitated by the recent
discharge of Clerk Robert McCracken,
who later filed with the civil service
commission q number OF specific
charges of a damaging character
against Perrault
Commission Hermann. TO whom the
matter of McCracken's dismissal was
referred, upheld the action Of the sur
veyor general. as he has invariably
done in all of the latter's conflicts with
the commission. McCracken, in his
charges, alleges that in confidence he
gave an insight into the abuses of the
Office to Special Agent Burke and that
Burke Immediately informed the sur
veyor general of McCracken's state
ments. The commission expects the in
terror department to make a full inves-
tigation and is confident if this is done
its charges will be sustained.
