THE CANAL
ZONE POLICY
Government Of Panama Strip
Discussed at White House.
AN IMPORTANT CONFERENCE HELD

instructions For Government Of Our
New Acquisition to Follow the eener-
al Lines Of Rules Laid Down For the
Philippines.
Washington, May e.--An important
conference was held IT the White
House last night at which the general
policy to be followed by the adminia-
tratiOn in the framing Of rules and
regulations for the Panama canal zone
was agreed on. This policy provides
for instructions 10 be issued by the
president through the secretary Of war
TO the canal commission for rhe admin
istration Of affairs in the strip, follow
ing very much the practice in vogue in
the Philippines, where the acts of the
commission are subject 10 the approval
OF the secretary of war.
There were present at the conference
Secretary Taft, Attorney General Knox
and Chairman Walker and other mem
bers Of the canal commission now in
the city. The members Of the commits
sion explained to the president the con-
dition Of affairs on the isthmus as they
found them and made recommends
tons for the government Of the strip.
They will embody these recommenda-
lions in a written communication to
the president, who will submit them to
Secretary Taft and Attorney General
Knox for such notifications and sug-
gestions as they may deem best. Aft
er the rules and regulations have been
finally drafted and approved by the
president the latter will issue them to
the commission through the secretary
Of war
Congress Left All to President.
Congress left the matter Of the gov
ernment Of the strip entirely with the
president, and the instructions for its
government will cover every detail
necessary for a complete and thorough
administration Of affairs there, includ-
ing the establishment Of courts and po-
lice regulations. 1t is expected that
the instructions will follow the same
general lines as those laid down for
the Philippines. but with such modifica-
tions as the varying conditions may re-
quire. Meantime General Davis, who
is TO sail from New York next Tuesday
will be administrator" Of the canal
strip until the new instructions are
put into effect.
1t was stated that there was no in
tention on the part OF the administra-
ton to dispatch troops TO the isthmus.
The marines now there will be retain
ed for the preservation Of peace and
order and will be replaced from time
to time as the health Of the men makes
this advisable.
