ITEMS ABOUT PANAMA CANAL

nApeTVS Guy IL VIII DC Ne0f'y twenty
Years Before 1t 10 Fini.hed.
The members Of the Panama com.
mission will receive as com pensation
$4,000 year and tl5 . day extra
while they are on the isthmus. II cor.
responding salaries are paid to those
connected with the work, it is quite
certain that the total bill when the
work has been finished will be large
one. Expert engineers have figured
that 1t will be from II to 30 years be-
fore ships will be able to pass through
the waterway. Before the canal is
completed the United States govern
ment will probably have expended
$3.50, O0, 900. The estimate of the &C.
tural cost Of construction is STAG, OOO,-
600.
The amount to be paid the French
company is $40 1000, 900 aud to the
Panama republic $4,000, 900, besides
a large annual rent.
In addition to this, there will be
many incidentals, besides considerable
loss of life through accidents, cpl
denies and exposure The canal will
have a winding channel 80 miles in
length. 1t will be $50 feet wide and
have depth sufficient to float any YES
sci now on the sea.
There will be three locks at each end
and the highest level above the tide
water will be 30 feet. The heaviest
grading will be at the Culebra cut,
where the maximum depth to be dug
is $50 feet for distance Of from nine
to II miles.
Rear Admiral Walker says he be-
ileved that work could begun in two
or three months. By this time, he said
the question Of title would be cleared
and transfer made to the United
States. The French company now has
about 500 laborers at work ON the Cul.
bera cut and this work will be con.
tinued. He says the laborers Of the
tropics all use alcholol'c beverages and
that 1t would be impossible to obtain
or retain laborers for this work il the
sale Of liquors was prohibited.
Speaking of the class Of labor that
1t would be necessary to employ in the
canal work, he says that the blacks
from Jamica were undoubtedly the best
fitted GLASS obtainable in the vicinity
Of the canal zone. But there were not
enough Of them and coolie labor from
China and Japan would have to be
brought over for this work. He esti.
mated that the maximum number of
laborers needed would be some 81, 900.
Other laborers who would come with
these laborers would increase the popu-
lation of the zone to some 81, 900.
The police force necessary to keep
order on the isrhmus Admiral Walker
suggested, should be organized az that
of an American city. One hundred men
at first would be sufficient, but this
number would have to be increased to
perhaps 500. In case Of riots or unusal
disturbances he believed the Panama
government could be relied on to aid
the police for the strip, and he also
deemed it advisable to have 800 Amer
loan troops or marines permanently
stationed in the zone.

GREAT MERGERCASE DECIDED
NORTHERN SECURITIES CO NJ
Panty Is UNLAW Full
Court Of the United States Justice
Antitrust Law Was Violated Com

Washington. -The opinion Of the
supreme court Of the United States in
the case of the Northern Securities
company versus the United States, in.
volving the merger Of the Northern Pa.
clfic and the Great Northern com.
panies, has been handed down and was
IN favor of the government.
The opinion was read by Justice Har.
Ian.
The opinion Of the circuit court for
the district Of Minnesota was affirmed.
The effect is to sustain the conten-
ton that the Sherman antitrust law ap
plies.
Justice Harlan said that in the mer.
ger Of the two roads the stockholders
disappeared and reappeared in the Sc.
curities company, the two thus beoom.
ing practically consolidated in hold
ing company, the principal object be-
ing to prevent competition.
"No scheme or device could certainly
more effectively come within the pro-
hibton of the antitrust law and it is
within the meaning Of the act trust. ;"
The case has attracted rgeater atten-
ton than any other suit before the
court since the drst insular cases were
decided and has been regarded by bench
and bar as equal in Importance with
those cases and with the income tax
case.
1t was argued in December last for
two days and attracted general atten.
ton at that time as it did previously
when the DECISION was rendered by
the circuit court for the district of
Minnesota.
The action as brought in the circuit
court under the law of February IL,
1908, which was for the purpose Of ex.
peditinR the case and was heard by the
fourth circuit court Justices Of the cir.
Quit.
They united In decision favorable
to the United States and opposed to the
contention Of the railroad companies.
The suit was instituted by the United
States against the Northern Securities
company and the two railroad com.
panies, the Northern Pacific and the
Great Northern and their leading stock.
holders, for the purpose of dissolving
the merger of the two roads which the
United States declared had been
created by the creation of holding
oompany-the securities company.
The consolidation was claimed to be
in violation Of the Sherman antitrus,
law. 1t was claimed on behalf of tht
government. that this consolidation was
in effect pool created to promote the
interests, not of one system at the, ex-
pense of the other, but Of both at the
expense Of the public. The railroads
claimed that the transfer Of the stock
of the two companies to the securities
company was in the nature Of q sale
perfectly legitimate.
The contention Of the securities
company was reviewed by Justice Har.
Ian, who said they had received full
attention. he quoted the various opin
ions involving the trust question, say
ing that from them it is to be gathered
that all contracts in restraint of trade,
reasonable or unreasonable, are pro.
hibited by the Sherman antitrust law,
and that congress has the power to es-
tablish such regulations as are laid
down In that law. Congress had the
power to enact the statute.

Rudolph
Since his disappearance from st. Louis
Rudolph wrote Miss Wade TO meet him
in Winnipeg. The letter was intercepted
and the detectives hurried to the Mani
toba town, but friends had warned the
crook and he did not show up 1t is
thought he made his way to Canada after
escaping and from there via the Great
Lakes to the Atlantic and into New
York.
Some time ago Marion Wade learned
that the servant In her mothers kitchen
was a Pinkerton detective. The letter car
rier is held up every trip and relieved of
mail destined for the Wade home. After
the letters are opened and read he is all
lowed to go on. Later letter from one
of Rudolph's friends was found inside the
cover of milk can by the detectives.
This gave them clew, but Rudolph
lodged them.
Pinkerton men are engaged watching 50
of the penitentiary and warehouses in this
country; Canadian places of imprison4
ment and French penal institutions are
watched and searched for the missing
man. Every steamer leaving this country
is watched and often sailing vessels are
overhauled by oceangoing tugs and search
ed. Every liner carries with it when it
leaves this country Pinkerton man.
All of these precautions cost money
and it is not to be wondered that the
Pinkertons are spending $35 900 a month
to bring back to st. Louis the man who
is proving such an artful dodger

and the thousand and one things that go
to the front during war.
Troops will also be transported to the
front over this road. Troop trains held
by provision trains, provision trains
blocked by troop trains, the inevitable
breakdowns that always follow when ma
chinery is pushed to its limit for hours,
all these things railroad men point to
when stating their belief that the road
cannot perform the mountainous labor eY-
pected of it.
Then, too, Japan may haveI hand in
the transportation game. 1t is not likely
that the Japanese war Office has been sit
ting idle all these days. and it is reported
that hundreds. if not thousands of uapan-
csc soldiers, havd been exported to va
rious points for the purpose of destroying
the railway, or disabling it so that it cam
not be used Immediately for the Transport
tation of troops and supplies.
The road was commenced in 1901 when
the present car was heir apparent. He
drove the first spike and American brains
and American machinery has been used
ever since to complete it. The engines are
of American make, as are the coaches.
American air brakes are used on all the
cars and engines, and the bridges that
span the waters in the line of the road
are of American manufacture. The steel
rails were made in this country and the
excavating that was necessary to CON
struct the road was performed with Am
erican excavating machinery

court, is without doubt the best known
man in Minnesota.
Reared in Minneapolis, where he earned
his first money raising cabbage plants on
his fathers homestead, he became in turn
printers devil, reporter and city editor
on the first paper published in Minneap-
oils; entered the army and returned after
the civil war to practice medicine and
politics.
Immensely popular, he was three times
elected mayor as a Democrat, and such
was his personal following that when,
after a lapse of eight years, he again en-
tered politics, this time a turncoat, he
was nominated and elected mayor on the
Republican ticket.
His fourth administration was The in
famous "Shame of Minneapolis" period,
when crime held high carnival and thieves
and cutthroats ruled the city, with the
police department as their servile tool.
Then came the investigation with its
avalanche of indictments and convictions,
which landed a number of police officials,
including Col. Fred Ames. chief of police
and the mayors brother, behind the bars
of the state prison.
Mayor A. A. Ames left the city, was
captured in New Hampshire, brought
back, tried and sentenced to six years at
hard labor on a charge of collecting money
from the women of the town.
The supreme courts decision on his ap-
peal is expected in few days.

ives went at once and learned that Collins
had relatives in the city.
Rudolph and Collins appeared. They
had apartments on Allyn street and at

cial duties. Collins fell in love with his
teacher and Rudolph was engaged to be
married to Marion Wade, q well known
young woman.
The Pinkerton men planned to get the
desperadoes in their rooms together. On
the afternoon of March l, under the com
mand of Capt. Geo. s. Daugherty. PINK
erton official, Detectives Butler, Farrell,
Davis and Gabay closed around the place.
Collins was arrested on the street and
then the sleuths went to the room where
Rudolph was arrested, but not without a
struggle in which he almost succeeded in
killing Capt. Daugherty with the latters
own revolver.
The pair were taken to st. Louis for
trial. When the day was but one week
off, Rudolph asked permission to leave his
cell to get shaved. Once clear of the cell,
he eluded his guards, climbed TO the top
of the row of cells forced skylight and
gained the roof. from where he made two

be one of the largest systems in North
America.
Although the route of the road has not.

parts of South Dakota and Nebraska.
How it will thence proceed to the gulf is
a. matter OF uncertainty, though it is be-
heved that Galveston will be selected for
terminus.

ing of war supplies
Can single-track road perform the
duty such contingency demands, is the
question that railroad men are asking
themselves. Apparently not. 1t is prob
able that blockade will result when the
trains bearing supplies are sent rushing
toward Port Arthur and Vladivostok.
Experiences in this country have proved
conclusively that a single-track road can
scarcely handle the routine work imposed
by trade conditions, let alone take care
of rush orders.
And in the Transsiberian case every
thing will be rush until the present crisis
has passed or a war has been concluded.
1t will be impossible, railroad men say,
to handle the immense amount of freight.
