nominate a county ticket there will be
hope of the two factions getting to-

READY FOR THE TRANSFER
OF THE PANAMA CANAL
Documents Completed and Con-
tract VIII Likely Be Signed
Within a Week.

PARIS. April 1s.-All the papers neces-
sary for the transfer of the Panama canal
to the United States are now completed
They include lengthy inventories and
schedules or the property belonging to the
company, both in Panama, i'm Paris and
elsewhere. These have been carefully gone
over and checked up by w. A. Hay and
Charles W. Russell, assistant attorneys
general who came from Washington to as
sist in the transfer of the property, and
the officers of the company. The most
important paper is the contract for the
sale. This sets forth all the preliminary
negotiations between the United States and
the company leading up TO the transfer
and the final ratification of the transfer
by the stockholders of the company The
consideration is said to be s400000O0 The
signing of the contract will occur immedi-
ately after the meeting of the stockholders
next Saturday. However, as the meeting
probably will last until late, the signing
may go over until Monday President Bo
will sign for the company.
1t is said at the American embassy that
the reports that the company sought TO in
crease the purchase price are unwarranted
On the contrary, the American officers pay
tribute TO the straight-forwardness shown
by the officers of the company throughout
the negotiations and declare there has not
been the slightest effort to make the United
States pay more than originally agreed
upon.

courage and heroism displayed as was
shown when that terrible accident oc-

three separate attempts to rush into the

MUCH DISTRESS CAUSED
TO RELATIVES OF STARR

Special to the indianapolis Journal
PARAMOUNT, Ind, April 16.-Owing to a
misconception as TO the time when the
body OF John Porter Starr, Fairmount's
victim of the explosion on the battleship
Missouri was 10 leave Pensacola, il was
expected 10 reach here at 1902 o'clock to-
night via Louisville, and much distress
was caused when IL did not arrive.
The body was supposed, locally, to have
been shipped from Pensacola yesterday
morning, and when it was not removed
from the train here tonight both tee-
graph and telephone were put into active
use in the effort TO trace il. Every junc-
ton point on the route, except Louisville
was communicated with. but no clew could
was found. Louisville could not be reached
by either telegraph or telephone, and no
one thought of sending a message to Pen
sacola 10 learn if the body had been
shipped. 1t was not until nearly midnight
that il was learned that Admiral Barker
had not received his orders to shin the
bodies until to-day, and that therefore
they could not have been shipped yester-
day.
1t had been expected TO give Starr an
elaborate military funeral tomorrow, and
all preparations to that end had been COM
pleted. The funeral. perforee. is post
