Secretary of War Learns Panama

Elihu Root, Secretary of Var. who went
abroad some months ago one of he United
States Alaskan Boundary Commissioners, re-
turned yesterday on the steam nip Celtic. Of
the White Star Line. Yes, there a posi-
bility that troops may have to be sent to the
isthmus," he said. in speaking Of the Panama
situation. There always is a possibility: that
is what the army for but l hardl-- think it
will be necessary in this case"
He read eagerly a number of dispatches
whicN were shown to him the steamer. and
his comment on the statement of Secretary Hay
and the instructions sent to the minister at
Bogota and the acting consul at Panama was.
This is very interesting. very" He would say
nothing more about the Panama situation.
The Celtic arrived Saturday night but so
late that Captain Lindsay decided to anchor for
the night. The Celtic has no wireless instru-
ments on board, and the news Of the establish

home. He declared that he was going from
there direct to Washington.
When asked regarding the situation in Pam
anna, the Secretary said:
Il did not know a thing regarding the sftua-
ton on the isthmus until the newspapers were
received on board. OF course, it is manifesty
impossible for me to discuss a subject on which

''Will the War Department become involved ,"
Such thing is, Of course possible but
think in this case il is very improbable"
On the Alaskan boundary awards the Score

II think the Alaskan boundary question has
been pretty well discussed. and there is nothing
that / to add he said.
He was asked whether the commission had
ever considered the strip of land 40 miles In

G. A. r. sas- s1r
Capt. Joseph Burger told of the aims
and objects of the association, the
causes and conditions which called it
into being and spoke of it's success.
I'm the name of the German-Amer-
lean Veterans association 1 welcome
you to our celebration of the birth of
our first martyred president at whose
calls in the terrible years Of the war
$4,000 German-born people sprang to
their guns and fought side by side
with others of whose birth they knew
naught.
Il have been asked to tell tonight
why it was we deemed it necessary to
form this association. 1 will do so in
few words.
Something like eight years ago it
was seen that, on account of the
amount of secret work involved in the
ceremonies of. the Grand Army of the
Republic, it was useless to attempt to
bring into the fold those who by virtue
of having fought in the war had a
right to belong to it. Many of them
were devotees. of either the Roman
Catholic church or the Lutheran, and
they could not Consistently join such a.
society. So we formed the German
American Veterans association 1t was
not that we did not, or do not, love the
G. A. R., it was because we did love
it's principles. 1t was because we
wished to reach class with patriot
ism-a class that no others can reach.
1t was that we5mfght widen the sphere

WEST SIDE IS
ABOUT TO BOOM
Purchase Of Property Is
Going ON in Factory
District.

Old town, through the activity of
several railroad companies, is now en-
joying a boom in the real estate line
a few, but it is claimed that it will not
be a circumstance to the West side
boom when spring opens.
Since the first of the year two en-
tire blocks running from Fairfield to
Indiana and facing South Robert street
have been quietly acquired by unknown
parties, and the purchase of lots and
portions of blocks adjoining still con-
t1nues. Less than a year ago the
Great Western railway secured from
the council trackage over several Of
the streets adjacent to this property,
and it is thought they are in a meas
ure behind the deal.
Two lots, each fifty feet front, and
located at the corner of Fillmore and
Livingstone avenues, are understood to
have passed into the control of Mime
apolis parties, who will erect on them
a large warehouse. The remainder of
the property in that locality is I'M
doubtely being acquired for similar
purposes.
The American Hoist and Derrick
Works will be among the West side
manufactures that will do some ex-
tensive building this year. This firm
has acquired nearly a block in the vi
cinity of the Rock Island depot, and
will erect on it a large brick foundry.
Part Of the ground is now covered
with a boiler shop.
The tin trust, which controls the old
Horne & Danz factory, is also said to
be negotiating with adjoining property
owners with view of adding to the
plant.

JAIL CONTRACTS
ARE ATTACKED
Tax Payers Say Plaster Used
Is Not Right
Kind.

The manner in which the contracts
for the new county Jail building are
being carried out are to be given an
airing in the courts.
Attorneys, representing a committee
of taxpayers, have filed with County
Auditor Krahmer a written derna nd
that the contractors for the new iail
building comply with the terms and
specifications for plastering the build
ing, and application has been made
for temporary writ of injunction re-
straining John H. Donahue and w. f.
Poppenburger, the contractors who are
doing the plastering, from proceeding
with their work.
The petition relates that the contract
and specifications require adamant.
zenith or Baker plaster, sanded at the
mill, and that the estimate is about
10000 yards. 1t is alleged that the
county commissioners directed that a.
certain kind of plaster be used, but
that in violation of the contract and
specifications, the contractors are US
ing no one of the three kinds of plas-
ter named, but are using a cheaper
kind of unSanded plaster, which has no
tensile strength or durability. 1t is al
legged that zenith or adamant if prop
erly used, will last as long as the build
ing stands, while the material being
used will not last two years.
Unless the county commissioners re-
quire the contractors to use the plaster
named in the contract, the matter will
be carried into the courts
