1srHMrAN POLICE FORCE

'Tn your opinoin, Is the climate Of the
isthmus fatal to men from the North, as
hns been stated7"
II do not believe It is, that is, II proper
precautions are taken. One Of the first
things we Will have 10 do down there will
be to create a semi.tnlitarv police force,
similar In many respects to the Canadian
Northwest mounted police. This. as you
know. Is constabulary under military dis.
cipline and while nominaly q police il
really military organization, We shall
have 10 organize a police force that will
rule with an iron hand. when the work
is In full swing there will be some 10000
men employed on the canal works. They
viii doubtless be Colombians, negroes from
dies, and. IN fact, men from all parts of
the world In their train will come the
scum Of creation, men and women from
all quarters OF the globe, Millions will be
pssd ont In wages and these millions VIII
be the prize to be contended for by this
horde OF parasites. Our police Will have
to protect the workmen-protect them
against themselves and against these hui
man ieeches. We are not going to have
a Sunday school down there. There will
he drinking and gambling and vice. We
can't stamp n out, but we can regulate
u. at least 10 a certain extent. There will
have 90 be certain rigid rules ms 10 the
selling NJ liquor and all other things. The
man or woman who violates the regulations
must he punished. vigorously and swiftly.
The man who stains another after he Is
paid on Saturday night. and when full Of
liquor must he captured no matter how
long the chase There must he no ignor.
ing Of sanitary regulations. II the police
force Is efficient. and II the proper reguln.
t'ons are made the mortality need not be
excessive"
How would you organize the police
forcef" was asked.
IT would place Mt It's head an army Of.
neer who had seen service In the West
and who had peculiar faculty for denl.
ing with men Of all kinds. The rank and
fle Of the force would he composed III

PROFIT OF TEN TO FIFTEEN MILLIONS.
lsneclnl to The Post. J

Washington, July 4-"The expenditure OF
nearly $4,000 COO In u work that will cut
in twain a continent, a work the like Of
which the world has never seen, must fire
the Imagination of even the dullest." said
n man today who, in all probability, will
be a member of the new canal commission,
under the direction OF which the proposed
isthmian canal will be constructed
He was asked how he thought the gov
ernment would go about the work of build
ing the canal
~ am only giving my personal opinion, -
ne said, in reply, but one mans per
Eonal opinion is ms good MS another's, and
it seems 70 me that the most satisfactory
way to the government would be, II such
a thing is possible. to make contract
with syndicate Of large contractors and
have that syndicate agree TO construct the
canal"
1t was suggested that the Job would be
a big one.
Yes, very large Job, but after all, not
SO very much bigger than the building of a
transcontinental railroad. II the plan
suggest were to be adopted IL would be
necessary for the contractors TO make an
alliance with some large banking house,
capital Of not less than $4,000 600. Then
the contractors could take the Job of build.
Ing the canal ready for use, for. say, for
S14ooO0,0o0 and the government would
make payments as the work progressed"
DO you think any set or men would
care TO run such risk" was asked
Contractors always take risks" was the
reply. In addition to having the plans OF
the commission on which to make their
estimates they would make their own plans
and calculations so that they would know
with almost absolute accuracy what was
ahead of them. There would, OF course.
be n certain amount of risk involved, but
there would also be n large profit to be
gained. The contractors ought to make
from 100000 10 S15,oO00oO. That In
my opinion, Is not too much, in view of
the amount of capital invested and the risk
involved"
How much time do you think will he
consumed In the construction of the canal?''
81 believe from the time we begin opera-
lions. no longer than eight years Some
persons think II could he done in six
Suppose 1t Is impossible TO make con
tract with a syndicate for the entire work,
what then?'
'In that case the next best thing to do
canal with independent contractors. ms is
now being done in the building Of the Nov
York subway. II for any reason contractors
failed 10 hid for the work the government
would have 70 undertake II itself hut II
would he better and cheaper In all respects
for the government to award the contract
and for the commission provided for in
the Spooner bill simply to supervise the
work"
