The SOUTH IS Interested
The Atlanta Constitution Comes Out
in Favor of Canal Treaty.
rhe Progressive Producing anA
D"sincss Interests of the south
Demand Its Ratification.

Atlanta, Ga, Dec. 22.-Clark Howell,
editor of the Atlanta Constitution,
comes out editorially in Endorsement of
the Panama canal policy of President
Roosevelt and the administration. and
criticises the attitude of Senator Dan
lei. OF Virginia. in opposing the treaty.
The editorial says the Republic of
Panama was not born too quickly, con-
sidering the circumstances, nor did the
American government recognize it any
too soon. In conclusion, It says:
Suppose we withdraw our recogni-
ton and reject the treaty? What will
other governments of Europe and
America that have also recognized the
new Republica of Panama? Are we to
do this ridiculous thing. abandon our
treaty rights in Panama, give up the
canal there, withdraw our guardianship
of rail transit now going on. and go
hunting for terms with people who
would be fools If they did not profit
themselves tremendously by our pre-
dicamcnt?
Senator Hoar can afford to fight the
canal so long as Boston Is building
enormous terminal facilities to handle
the Ocean-bOind frcights of the rams.
continental railroads. Senator Hale, of
Maine, a afford to join him, since
Portland is becoming the cntrepot and
export depot Of the Canadian Pacific
and the Grand Trunk systems. Senator
Teller and other senators may be indif-
ferent, because the canal does not APP
peal to any specific interest in their
states.
But southern senators can not es-
cape the certain conviction that a vote
from M II OF them adverse to the
treaty will be a vote against the ur-
gent interests and demands OF the pro-
Gressive, producing and business inter
es.s of these southern states"

CHIEF of Police O'Ncill Tells Reprc--

Huagc His Opinion of Them
and Their Actions.

Chicago, Dec. 22.-Shrinking from
the espionage of union pickets and
fearful that funeral parties would be
attacked by the striking livery drivers,
many Chicago families have refrained
from publicly announcing their be.
reavement.
In the vaults of several undertakers
lie the bodies of the persons about
whose deaths the utmost secrecy is
maintained and whose funerals have
been postponed until after a settle
ment of the strike.
In other cases the stricken relatives
have arranged for evening funerals
and private burials. of which no an
n%OuncenGnt Is made.
The d~isgraceful scenes that attend.
ed several funerals held on last Satur.
day when union pickets attempted tc
interfere with the removal of bodies,
have led the health department Off
Gals to sanction the secrecy that is
being preserved.
Undertakes have been informed
that. unless public safety demands It,
burials will not be insisted on until
such time as funeral parties shall be
safe from molestation.
A.. r. Perrigo, president of tho Liv.
erymen and Undertakers association,
said Monday night:
THE reason more deaths are not an.
nOunccd Is because we have learned
that the strikers have been reading
the list of death notices in the papers
and sending pickets to watch the
houses"
