WALLACE IN CHARGE
GENERAL MANAGER OF !. c. CHIEF
 CANAL ENGINEER
Salary Will be s25,0OO a Year and He Will be Active Head of the
 Work on the
 Isthums.

Washington. May 10.--Admiral Walk CT. President of the Panama Canal Com- mission, received a telegram today from John Findlay Wallace of Chicago, General Manager of the Illinois Gen. tral Railroad, accepting the appoint ment of chief engineer in charge of construction of the canal. Mir. Wal lace will receive a salary of $25,000 a year
 MT. Wallace has been considered for some time by members of the Canal Commission for the position of chief engineer" said Admiral Walker. No 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."
 MT. Wallace will take up his work with the commission on June 10. 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, all matters of detail being left for future conference with the Com mission.
 In regard to the salary to be paid MT. Wallace, Admiral Walker said that when a man undertakes to direct the construction of the Panama Canal prof. ect, it is necessary for him to burn his ships behind him and that $25,000 is not too high for so important a trust.
 "Whoever undertakes that task gives up his business in this country. for 1t will. require, that all his time be spent on the isthmus for an indefinite period" said the Admiral.

 At called meeting of the Board of Directors of the Montgomery Youns Mems Christian Association held at 6:Sc o'clock yesterday evening the resignation ot A. c. Shepard, who has served as pr esident of the Association four years. was accepted and he was presented by the board with handsome silver lovins cup Director Hardwick Ruth presented the following resolution. which was adopted:
 Be it resolved by the Board of Direc- tors of the Young Mems Christian Asso- citation of Montgomery that we hereby empress to Mir. F. c. Shepard, our es- teemed president. the great regret we feel at his departure from Montgomery.
 Now. as always. you are obeying the dictates of your conscience in going where duty calls. Our community loses a valuable citizen. the cause of Christ in Montgomery a faithful worker. and the Young Mems Christian Association a friend and adviser whose place will be dfficult to i'll.
 Our prayers and good wishes attend you and we bespeak in advance that you may receive from those among whom your lot shall be cast that kindness and consideration which you have always so cheerfuily shown to others"
 The loving cup presented to Mir. Shep- ard bears the following inscription: From the Directors of the Young Mems Christian Association, Montgomery. Ala hama, to F. c. Shepard. President. 1900 to 1904"

anna Canal, his name will be attached to the greatest piece of construction ever undertaken. It is estimated that about two years will be required to complete the surveys, make the esti- mates of cost and decide on the final plans. In round figures. the canal will cost $2oO. 1000, ,000, and will require ten years to complete. Beside the en- gineers, machinists and other skilled labor, the constructive work will give employment to 50.000 men.
 Possibly the most important qualifl- cation possessed by Mir. Wallace is his ability and tact in the management of men, For several years all questions Involving the matter of labor and the control of labor organizations in the entire system of the Illinois Central Railroad have devolved upon MT. Wal lace for settlement. The twenty-three different labor organizations found among the employees of the Illinois Central have always had the most im- plicit confidence in his decisions. As evidence of this, 1t can be stated that they have never In a single instance appealed from his decisions to higher authorities since he has been General Manager of the road. Mir. Wallace will depart for the scene of his new work almost immediately, probably not lat CT than the middle of June.
 John Findley Wallace was born at Fall River, Mass, and was educated as civil engineer at Monmouth University. Monmouth, IL, of which his father Rev. David A. Wallace, was founder and first president.
 Tn 1889 he entered the service of the Carthage and Quincy Railroad as rod man. After working for various roads. steadily advancing all the time, Mir. Wallace was employed January 1, 1891. hv the Illinois Central to assist in handling the worlds fair transporta- ton problem and submit plans for talk ing care of this business and the gem eral improvement of the terminal property of the Illinois Central. These plans were finally adopted by the rail- road company and MT. Wallace was appointed chief. engineer of the llli- nois Central.
 During the seven years he occupied this position the Illinois Central prop ertv was practically rebuilt and the system of improvement started, the carrying out of which has placed the Illinois Central Railroad company in the first rank of railroad progress in the United States.
 January l, 1898. Mir. Wallace was anpointed Assistant Second Vice-Presi- dent. While still retaining supervis-' ion over the Engineering department he was called upon 10 assist the Second President in the general super vision of matters connected with the operation of the road.
 January l, 1901, Mir. Wallace's title was changed to Assistant General Man ager and he was placed at the head of the operating department. In septem-

He also Is a member of the institute of civil engineers of Great Britain, Amertcan Railway Association. American Railway Guild. Eneineers' Club of New York. the Chicago Club and Union League Club.
