The game WAS devoid of sensa tonal

HAS RETURNED
FROM PANAMA
Commissioner Parsons Reviews
the Work of the Canal
Commission

Especial Telegram to Evening Teller)
NEW YORK, April 2O-United States
Commissioner Parsons arrived from
Colon today. He said in an interview
that after the arrival of the canal conn.,
mission they examined the work at
Colon and then proceeded to Panama
and was presented to the President.
Inspection of the work already done
was then commenced. They examined
at great length the celebrated En-
perador and Culebra cuts and traversed
the Chagres river some miles in study
of the construction necessary to control
this stream. The met result in his
opinion is that the construction Of the
the canal is perfectly feasible. 1t was
too early yet to speak of details of the
plans but the estimates were a sur
prise to him.
Although the wea ther was warm it
was not so disagreeable as the extreme
summer in New York and Washington.
While the present death rate was con-
siderably higher than it should be he
is confident that with a supply of good
water system and sewer that Panama
and Colon could be made healthful. He
left the commission in good health. In
a few weeks the rest of the commission
will return to Washington to organize
the engineering corps.
