PRINCETON, N. j., Jan. s. Ruth
Cleveland, eldest child of former Pres
ident Grover Cleveland, died here sud
denly at the family residence.
The girls death was unexpected, and
the immediate cause was a weakening
Of the heart action during a mild at
tack of diphtheria. DR.. Wyckoff, the
attending physician, said that Miss
Cleveland had been Ill for four days
and that the heart affection was not
looked for.
DR., Joseph d. Bryant of New York,

friend, came to Princeton on a hasty
telephone call. Miss Cleveland died
before he reached the house.
1t was not generally known in Prince
ton that Miss Cleveland was Ill, and
the news of her death came as a shock
to the community. There is a general
expression Of sympathy. Many mes
sages of coincidence from various quar-
tiers are being delivered at the Cleve-
land residence. RS tY 49,
In response to many inquiries former
President Cleveland gave out the fol-
lowing statement:
"After q few days illness, which be-
gan with an attack of tonsllitis and
developed suddenly into diphtheria, our
eldest daughter, Ruth, died suddenly"
Ruth. Cleveland was born on Oct. 3,
j 1891, in her fathers residence, at 61S

lidgerwood Park Patrons
Not Satisfied With
Gar Line.

Residents and property owners re-
siding in Lidgerwood park claim that
they have a very just cause of COM
plant against the Washington Water
Power company on account of the man
ner in which it il operating its cars
ON the Lidgerwood division at present.
They have appealed to the company
to return to the old way which they
say will be highly satisfactory to every
patron Of the line.
The old method was to have the
cars. make complete circuit of the
park. thus giving every one the same
show. or "a single dose of the long
ride. every day, whether they lived on
the east side or the west side of the
park.
The company has made change in
this system of operations which makes
it very announcement to a portion Of its
patrons and compels them to take "a
double dose of the long ride every
day. The change was made by the
company in the interest of economy OF
time and without any intention or
thought of discommoding it's patrons.
The matter will probably be taken
up by the company at an early day
and the complaint of its patrons duly
considered.

SHALL WE BUILD THE CANAL :?
ASKS PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT

BILE to any person Of ordinary intelli
gence who reads the newspapers. The
president says: Il haven't denied nor
do wish to deny either the validity
or propriety of the general rule that
new states shouldn't be recognized as
independent till they have shown abil-
ity to maintain their independence.
Shall We Build the Csnal7
But there are exceptions to the
rule and there were, in my opinion,
clear and imperative reasons why a
departure from the rule was justified
and even requested in the present in
stance. These reasons are, first. our
treaty rights; second, our national in
terests and safety"
After reviewing these reasons, the
president says: ut was under these
circumstances that the United States,
instead of using it's forces to destroy
those who sought to make the en-
gagements Of treaty a reality, recog-
nized them as the proper custodians
Of the sovereignty of them"
In closing he says: 1.-The main
question before this government is
not that of the recognition of Pana-
ma as an independent state, as that
is already an accomplished fact. but
the main question is whether or not
we shall build the isthmian canal"

WASHINGTON, Jan. 1.-THE presi-

congress today, reviewing the canal
action, required 20 printed pages. en-
bodying reports, kilograms and let
tiers. Almost all these latter have
been published from time to time.
The message opened by reviewing
treaties covering the South American
countries. Referring to Colombia, he
said at the time the negotiations were
pending with Colombia the admins
tration was criticized for being too
liberal. Colombia's objection, based
on the ground OF having to relinquish
sovereignty over the canal strip, was
an afterthought. No nation could
construct and guarantee neutrality
for canal at less degree of con-
troll than that stipulated in the
treaty The refusal to grant such de-
gree OF control was necessarily a re-
fusal to make any practicable treaty
at all.
Colombia ~ an Obstructionist.
The refusal therefore squarely
raised the question whether Colombia
was entitled to bar transit across the
isthmus. The people OF Panama
wanted American to build the canal.
Furthermore. Colombia after having
