Columbus Ca. March 1S.-(special.)-
Mayor L. H. chappell today received the
following letter from Booker 7. Washing
ton president of Tuskegee Normal and
Industrial school for negroes, referring
to the act of the city of Columbus in
erecting monument to Bragg Smith,
colored who on the Both # September

fruitless effort to save City Engineer
Johnson from the cave-in of an exeava-
ton.
Tuskegee. Ala. March T. 1901
To the Mayor of Columbus Ga.
Dear Sir-As member of tho negro
race, l want to use this opportunity for
thanking you and the members of your
city government for erecting a monument
over the grave of Bragg Smith, who lost
his life in an heroic effort to save that
of an official of your city. Such reeog
milton of the merit of worthy colored peo-
pie goes further than you can realize in
the encouragement of my race to put forth
worthy efforts in the direction of living
strong and useful lives, and at the same
time such action convinces the world that
here, in the south, there are white men
who recognize merit and will see that
justice is melted out to any man who de-
serves encouragement and reward. Yours
truly, BOOKER T. WASHINGTON.
Mayor chappell's Reply.
Mayor Chappell replied as follows to
Booker Washington's letters:
president Booker T. Washington, Tus-
kegee Normal and Industrial Institute,
Tuskegee, Ala:
'Yo our favor of the 12tht instant at
hand and duly noted. In erecting a sim
pie but appropriate monument over the
grave of Bragg Smith. the negro who lost
his life in the effort to rescue our city
engineer from eavng excavation, the
city of Columbus only showed officially
what our citizens are in the habit of
| doing personally, due appreciation of
heroic sef-saerifiee regardless of the
color or condition of the individual.
ut is gratifying to our people to see
that this simple act meets with very gen
eral approval, and it is hoped that the
tendency will be to demonstrate to those
who do no understand. that cordial, good
feeling exists In the south between good
white people and good negroes.
yours truly.

HAVE MUCH MONEY
Taft Says Members Can Live

WALKER is QUESTIONED
Explains the Method Employed in Elk
pending Money BY the Last Canal
mission-Hearinas
Continue Monday.

washington. March 1S.-Secretary Taft
was heard by the house committee on in
terstate and foreign commerce today on
the subject of constructing the Panama
canal The secretary favored the pend
ing Lowering bill for the government of
the canal zone. This bill, he said. was
drawn by Admiral Walker and contained
as many legislative provisions as was
necessary at the present time.
Secretary Taft was questioned by mem
bers of the committee regarding his views
as to the proposed methods of expendi-
Ing the money for the construction of the
canal. He said the President primarily
was responsible for this large sum of
money, but that the gigantic proportions
of the work and the duties of the Presi-
dent otherwise made it. of course, impos-
sible for him to give his personal at
tention to such matters. In the commits
sion the President had undoubtedly made
the proper delegation of his authority on
this subject. If there was any question
as to this the secretary said that con-
tracts in excess of 100000 for instance
might be referred to the secretary of war
or some other member of the Presidents
cabinet, or some person whom the Presi-
dent might designate for review. The
engineering features of the work would
make the secretary of war the most avail
able and best equipped official for this
work.
Have Plenty of Funds.
In answer to a question by Chairman
Hepburn as to whether a requirement
should be made that each member of the
committee should reside on the canal
strip Secretary Taft smiingly replied that
from his own experience of life In the
tropics, he knew that such life could
be made very pleasant. with the amount
of money which the canal commission
will have on hand ] should imagine they
would be able to make life quite attrac-
tice on the canal zone" he concluded.
Admiral Walker made a detailed ex-
PLANTATION of the manner of expanding
money by the last canal commission of
which he was president. lie said that
President Mckinley had delegated him as
the executive head of the commission and
when the commits sion organized. the entire
supervision of the expenditure of money
was left in his hands. No resolution ever
was passed by the commission regarding
the policy of expanding money or the de-
tails of any single expenditure Admiral
Walker said that engineers were hired.

Select Most Favorable Route.

Following a line of questions asked by
Chairman Hepburn regarding the selee-
ton of canal routes, Admiral Walker ex-
planned that the law required the commits
sion to select the route most feasible and
economical that the United States could
own and operate. Nicaragua was selected
first because s109. 100000 was asked for
the Panama concession by the French
company, which put that route entirely
out OF the question as compared with
Nicaragua. When the price was reduced
to $40 600. 600 and title assured, the condi'
tons were changed, and the commission
reported IN favor of the Panama route.
The hearings will be continued Monday.
