PANAMA CANAL COMMISSION

NEW YORK, April 2O.-United States
Canal Commissioner Parsons arrived from
Colon today. He said that after his ar
rival there April the canal commission
examined Colon and proceeded to Pana-
ma, where the members were presented to
the president.
The inspection of canal work already
done was then commenced. The oommIs-
sion examined at great length the ceIe-
brated Emperador and Culebra cuts,
traversed the Ohagres river for some miles
and made a study Of the construction Of
dams necessary to control this stream. As
a result of their investigations, the COM

A graphic story of the collapse of the big
steel bridge spanning the Snake river near

of heavy loss of life through the pres

is told by the passengers on the second
section of train No. l ON the Northern
Pacific railroad, which reached Tacoma
yesterday morning.
According to those who were in the

the canal is perfectly feasible.
Parsons stated that it was too early to
speak of details or plans. The climate at
Panama was surprise to him. Although
warm, it was not so disagreeable as the
extreme summer temperature of New York
He believed the present death rate there
is considerably higher than it should be
and is confident that supply of good wa.
ter and a system of sewers would make
Panama and Colon healthful.
He left the rest of the members OF
the commission in good health.
. After a few weeks rest the commission
will return to Washington to organize the
necessary engineer corps.

TRAINNEN ARE SAVED BY
THE ENGINEERS NERVE

the long train had already passed over a
portion of the bridge when the engineer
felt the structure trembling underneath
him. He quickly threw the reverse lever,
and as soon as the train came to stand
still, started back
Scarcely had the front wheels Of the
engine reached the solid tracks when the
bridge fell with a crash into the river. Had
he hesitated a minute before reversing the
entire train, which was composed princip-
ally Of tourist sleepers and chair cars,
and which carried over a hundred pass
engers, would have gone into the river.
