PANAMA
Starting of American Custom
House Causes Excitement

PANAMA, July 13.-The decree Of
Gov. Davis establishing custom house
in the canal zone has created excited
comment here. The principal mer-
chants of Panama and Colon assembled
in the Commercial club to discuss the
situation and unanimously decided that
the establishment of custom houses in
such form means the ruin of the COM
merce of Panama and Colon and con-
sequently of the republic.
The canal commissioners and officers
of the government have discussed the
situation which is believed by all to
be extremely serious unless the decree
be revoked and the interests of Panama
considered.
The Chamber of Commerce today ap-
pointed a committee to communicate
with the government. The chamber
considers the application of the Ding
ley tariff act not only detrimental to
the interests of commerce and of the
government, but against the spirit of
the canal treaty.
The newspapers have started a cam
paign to prove to the people and the
government of the United States the
injustice of the measure, which is the
cause of excitement in all circles.
Today the steamship City of Peking,
of the Pacific Mail Steamship COM
pany, arrived from San Francisco,
which port she left June Is. On arriv-
ing at Corinto the City of Peking got
clearance papers for Ancon, the Amer
icap port in the canal zone, and today
the CAPTAIN of the port of Panama re-
fused to receive the steamer, claiming
that under the treaty with the United
States all ports in Panama are under
the jurisdiction of the Panama authors
ties. The captain of the port also made
protest against the action of the
Pacific Mail Steamship company, which
he considers against the rights of the
republic.

ESOPUS, N. Y. July 13.-Mr. Shee-
han, on behalf of Parker, will bend his
immediate energies to bring about har-
monious action in New York, New Jer-
sey, Indiana, Illinois, Wisconsin and
Ohio. With the exception of Nebra ska,
where every encoura cement will be
given to Bryan in his desire to elect a
Democratic legislature and the cleo
toral ticket, little attention will be Civ
en- in the early stages of the campaign
to states west of the Mississippi. Della
ware, Maryland and West Virginia are
relied on to return to Democratic moor
ings.
New York is essential to Parker.
With New York there are several rea-
one of which would elect him. This is
on the assumption that every New
England state will go Republican, while
both Connecticut and Rhode Island are
good ground. Rhode Island has a Dem
ocratic governor, and Connecticut is a
fair field. A fight will be made in the
Middle Western states. The first step
is to secure Democratic harmony and
unity and unite all sections and fac
tions. If that can be done it is believed
that the discomfort of many sober, con-
servative Republicans with Roosevelt's s
turbulence will give a greater majority
to Parker than Cleveland had in 1892.
Here's Good Straw

NEW YORK, July 13.-How hope
fully the New York Democrats regard
the outlook in the Empire state is
shown by the number of active candi-
dates in the field for the Democratic
gubernatorial nomination. Up to date
they number eight. In years when
party prospects are dark the nomina-
ton has been forced upon some un-
willing man. This year these candi-
dates are actively at work for the
nomination:
George B. Mcclellan, mayor of New
York; Edward NJ. Grout, comptroller
of New York; William Travers Jer-
ONE, district attorney. New York
county; Martin w. Litt1eton, borough
president, Brooklyn; George Palmer,
of Schoharie, Democratic leader in the
assembly; Elliot Danforth, of Chenan-
go, former state treasurer; John B.
Stanchfield, of Elmira, former leader
in the assembly and Democratic can
didate for governor in 1900, and
Charles w. Goodyear, of Buffalo, capt.
talist.

Roosevelt's course as president has

Of which it dashed at a high rate of

the freight train was on the left. A
misplaced switch threw the picnic
train on the left. and before the en-

at the rate of forty miles an hour, into
the freight. The engine, baggage car

New Jersey and Connecticut have a
fixed habit of voting with New. York

leaders in those states are confident
they will do so this year. The nomina-

ident removes any doubt that may
have existed as to West Virginia and
Maryland, and with the South solid,
the carrying of any one of the debatable
Western states will send Parker to

from Minneapolis. They had been in
structed to jump off at the upper en-
trance where they could probably enter
the plant without being seen.
But the pickets were on hand. They
surrounded the four strangers. Maxi
ing no show of force, the strikers be-
gan to argue with the four and es-
corted them, at last, to the union
headquarters. There the men an
nounced that they had decided not to
go to work. An hour later they were
on their way back to Minneapolis in
amiable fellowship with two of the
strikers.
A report spread subsequently that
the Minneapolis party consisted of six
men, and that two of these contrived
to get past the pickets and enter the
plant.
It Was Not "Scab" Meat
When the load Of meat previously
mentioned was approaching the Chi

2: 80 o'clock yesterday afternoon, and
was about to pass the fire engine
house, in the second story of which are
located the strikers headquarters, a
hundred of the striking men sur
rounded the wagon, yelled "Scabl" at
the driver and stopped his horses. The
forty women strikers gathered at the
doors and windows of the engine
house and looked on without joining
in the cries.
What are you going to do with this
meat?" inquired one man of the truck
driver. "Any more loads like this?"

1t amt scab meat; you packed it,
yourselves"
AS the argument was becoming con-
fused Chief of Police J. J. Mccormick
asked the crowd to let "this load" pass.
He made it clear to the strikers that
it was meat that they had slaughtered
themselves, and that it was not asso-
ciated with "scab" labor.
The chief is a popular man. He is
known as a Rooseveltian ideal who
speaks softly and carries big club.
And his arguments were unanswerable
from union standpoint. Therefore
the crowd parted, the men at the
horses heads fell back, and the wagon
was driven to the station.
No attempt was made to ship out
more meat yesterday: nor did any
slaughtering take place.
No Killing Done
The number of men who remained at
work yesterday was estimated at from
400 to 500; they packed but did not
kill"

NEW YORK. July 13.-The World

carry New York by rousing major
ity. Roosevelt never has been a great
vote getter'' in this city or state.
When he ran. for mayor in 1886 he got
only 60,435 votes, while Erhardt re-
ceived $4,000 in 1888 and Einstein 98, 600
in 1892 as straight Republican eandi-

When Mr.. Roosevelt ran for gov

STRIKING PACKER
COMMITS SUICIDE
George Godbout Swallows Poi
son on the Eve of His Sis
ter's Wedding

George Godbout, eighteen years of
age, one of the striking employees OF
the Swift & Co. packing house, South
st. Paul, committed suicide last even
ing at 100 South Wabasha street by
taking a large dose OF carbolic acid.
Life lasted but a few minutes after he
swallowed the acid, the efforts of a
physician to save him proving of no
avail.
Returning from South ST. Paul,
where he had drawn the two days
pay that was coming to him from the.
Swift company, Godbout lightly trip
ped up stairs to the rooms, talked with
his sister, Miss Delphine Godbout, in a
merry manner for few minutes, and
on starting for his own room began
whistling Within few seconds Miss
Godbout heard her brother call loudly
for help. She rushed TO his room and
found him writhing on the floor. All
that he could say was "Carbolic, car
bolic." repeating the word a number
of times. Miss Godbout called DR.. S.,
Ravisch, living near by, but when the
physician arrived young Godbout was
breathing his last.
Think He Was Insane
The only manner in which the sui
eide can be accounted for is Godbout
was afflicted with temporary insanity.
Before he left for South st. Paul he
was in the best of humor, being ap-
parently much interested In the pros
pective wedding of his sister, Miss
Delphine, which was to have taken
place today. The marriage license
had been secured by Perry G. Mcbride,
the bridegroom -to-be, and the cere-
mony was to have occurred in the
rooms where Godbout took his life
The theory of insanity was strength
ened by the fact that Godbout had
paid his union dues to July, had talked
of securing other work and was ap-
parently making preparations for the
future. He also left behind nothing to
show that he contemplated suicide.
On his return from South ST. Paul,
Godbout went into the Eclipse drug
store and, presenting four ounce bot
tie that had contained carboIic acid,
ordered 10 cents worth Of the article.
Determined to Get Enoug'
When the bottle was returned to him
but about half full he inquired the
charge if the bottle was entirely filed
On being told that the cost would be
20 cents he ordered that amount.
To all appearances he was in the best
of humor, whistling merrily as he left
the store. Walking directly to his

The forcible halting of a presumed

Although the police force was dou-
bled yesterday at South ST. Paul, the
limits of which include the packing
plant, the policemen remained down
town. The twenty employees that had
been sworn in as special policemen by
the Swift company had all left the
