CHIEF ENGINEER
OF PANAMA CANAL
John F. Wallace to Have Charge of
Construction of Waterway.
HIS SALARY $4,000 A YEAR

Washington, May II. - Admiral
Walker, president of the Panama canal
commission, has received q telegram
from John Findley Wallace. of Chi
eago, general manager of the Illinois
Central railroad, accepting the appoint
ment of chief engineer in charge of the
construction of the canal. Mr.. Wal |
lace will receive a salary OF $25,O00 a
year.
"Mr. Wallace has been considered |
for some time by members of the canal
commission for the position of chief en-
gineer," said Admiral Walker. mo one
stands higher in his profession or is
better equipped to take up the work
mapped out than he, and the commits
sion is to be congratulated on securing
the services of such a man."
Mr.. Wallace will take up his work
with the commission on June 1. He
will arrive in Washington on or before
that date, and for the present will have
his Office at the headquarters Of the
commission in this city. It has not
been determined when he will visit the
! isthmus. aN matters of detail being
left for a future conference with the
commission.
In regard to the salary to be paid
| Mr.. Wallace, Admiral Walker said that
when a man undertakes to direct the
construction of the Panama canal pro-
! tect it is necessary for him to burn his
sbips behind him, and that $4,000 is
not too high for man competent for
so important a trust. whoever under
takes that task gives up his business
in this country for it will require all
his time on the isthmus for an indef-
mite period" said the admiral.
During the recent trip of the Panama
f canal commissioners to the isthmus
one of the subjects of discussion was
the aDpointment of the chief engineer.
It was agreed by every one that the
man selected must possess exceptional
qualifications, must be not only an en-
e rineer. but an administrator and eX-
:. ecutive. must have mature judgment
and vet energy Of accomplishment;
n must be well known and favorably
