WALLACE

Washington, Tee. 29.--Reduction OF the
sthmian canal commission from seven
to three members. as proposed i'm the
bin being drafted by members Of the
senate committee on inter oceanic canals
or abolition OF the commission. as pro-
posed i'm the house committee on inter
state and foreign commerce. will not be
accomplished without vigorous fight.
Admiral Walker. chairman of the
commission. is OF the opinion that it is
the function Of the commission to make
plans and the business OF chief engi-
neer Wallace TO execute them.
That is precisely where the disagree
ment between Representative Hepburn
chairman OF the commerce committee
and the members OF the commission
begins and II extends down through all
the operations OF the commission and
the chief engineer with a very distinct
lire OF cleavage.
The members of the commission be-
lieve that Chief Engineer Wallace is
trying TO gather into his arms all the
power and authority now vested I'm the
commission They hold that the views
he expressed in the hearing held by the
members OF Representative Hepburn's
committee while they were returning from
the isthmus as little less than rank in
subordnation that he presumes TO crit
icise the act OF his superior. President
Roosevelt. for extending the provisions Of
the classified service law 10 all persons
who are 10 be employed in the construc-
tion OF the canal above the grade Of
common laborer,
Throughout his testimony he dwelt upon
the necessity OF giving the chief engineer
authority equal TO his responsibility, and
said he believed the people OF the
United States expected the actual work
OF digging the canal 10 be done according
TO business principles.
They interpret the expression OF that
opinion AS an indirect way Of saying
that the work cannot be done. accord
Ing 10 business principles. under the
plans already made by tne commission

members, about half coming from each OF

wood streets was bought and the organi-
Eation moved into the present edifce early

grown from $50 TO 61O and the Sunday
school mas more than doubled, now num-
