BATTLES ON SCHOONER
OFFICERS AND CREW or THE IDA
 B. GIBSON FALL OUT.
Finally the Cook, Armed with Shot Gun, Stands on the Reserves From a New York Police
 Station.

New York, Oct. 23.-Four men were badly wounded in a series of battles between the officers and crew of the lumber laden schooner Ida B. Gibson of Seaford. Del, and afterwards ne- tween Milton Cordery, the cook of the Gibson, and the police early tooay' For an hour about daybreak the cook armed with a shot gun. stood or the police reserves of the Delaney street station and wounded detective and night watchman.
 Frank H. Medley, the mate or the Gibson, was missing today and may have been murdered by the crew of the Gibson, who were compelled to pump the Ieaky craft all the way from Nor folk, Va, to New York.
 The trouble on the Gibson began soon after she sailed from Norfolk early last week. Before she was clear of that port, she was run aground and when fioated sprang a leak The crew was ordered to the pumps and com pelled to man them all the way up the coast despite their protests, and 1t was reported that the officers of the 0ib- son were compelled to use force to put down the beginning of mutiny.
 On arriving at New York the Gibson tied up at pier 55, East River, and the crew were paid off and discharged.
 At an early hour today Captain Kit Bradley. Frank Medley. the mate. and Milton Cordery, the cook, were leaving a hotel near the vessel. when they were set upon by a dozen men and includ- ed the members of the crew of the Gih- son and friends. whom they had en- listed. In the fight that ensued Cap tain Bradley received severe stab wounds in the side and shoulder and the cook was slashed Ia the face.
 Captain Bradley ordered the cook aboard the vessel to prevent any one boarding her while he went to the hos pital for repairs.
 Cordery obeyed orders to the letter, |, He closed every hatch but one and in stalled himself in that one with shot gun loaded with buckshot. About day break today Detective Henry Hadlich, Wm. McManus, a night watchman, and two policemen tried to board the Gib- son to find out what the trouble was. Cordery warned them to keep off, say ing he would shoot. The invaders told Aim they were police. but he replied that 1t made no difference, and when they kept on coming he fired. wounding MoManus in both feet. Hadlich made a dash for the deck and was shot in the side with thirty buckshot. The police reserves were then summoned and laid siege to the cook. when Captain Brad ley walked aboard and told the cook to quit it. Cordery then surrendered and was locked up.
 The Gibson was sinking and the cap tain went to the police station to dA

 Fred Gwynner, President of the de- funct Enterprise National Bank when asked yesterday what the shortage or the Enterprise would amount to, said:
 Tt will be very large, much larger in fact than we first Supposed. From what I know, it will reach Sl'5OO.OOo: None of the directors or officers no. even myself, had any idea that It would reach such an enormous sum as that.

CANAL WORK BY CONTRACT.
Government Willing to Eater Into Ar
 engagements With Indfvfauay.

""'en"ent "iAin9 to Enter Into Ar~
 rangements With Individuals.
 Washington, Oct. 23.-The Govern nent of the United States is willing to enter into contracts with corporations or individuals for the construct On of any portion or all of the Panama Canal 1his statement was made by Secretary Taft today while discussing conditions upon the isthmus and the policy of the Government. whether any concern would be willina q to undertake the excavation of the Culeora cut, because of the magnittlte or that work. It is not the excavation that will be so difficult. so much as the disposition of the earth taken from the cut. But as to the other work the Government will be ready to enter soon as 1t is determined what type of canal shall be constructed.
 It is stated that contracts could not be made during the preliminary stages of work, because the Government had to prosecute the construction until It's had sufficient knowledge of the con- ditions to pass upon bids and make judicious contracts.
 Secretary Taft did nothing to declare the policy of the government of the matter of canal construction but to IT u WAS IOun0 IeaSiDlA to let contracts that course would be purs sued. This afternoon he made the fol- lowing statement:
 The question whether the canal will be built by contract 1t Is not, of course, possible to determine. Mir. Wallace, the former chief engineer Ma the canal, expressed the tentative opins ion that probably much of the worM except the Culebra cut could be leA by contract It Is impossible, however to make plans for this until the data are obtained. which are now being s0s cured
 T have not discussed that matteH with MT. Shonts or with Mir. Stevens, the chief engineer. because the quess tion has not yet come up for settles ment give you only the impression that received from conversations of MT, Wallace on the ground. There is nothing in the policy thus far pursued which would prevent the letting of any part Of the work by contract if found to De profitable to the government"

Senator Sanders Brush.

Dave Browne tells several anec-
dotes concerning Montana's eccentric
United States senator, w. F. Sanders,
one of them being to the effect that
when Sanders was going east through
Dakota he was given stateroom. the
only available space on the sleeping
car, the upper berth of which was ri
ready taken. Before going TO bed,
Sanders laid his toilet set on the chair
beside the washstand; and, when he
awakened in the morning, the upper
berth stranger was using his toilet
articles, concluding with vigorous use
of Sanders toothbrush.
The senator said nothing, but finally
rolled out Of the lower berth and pre-
pared to dress himself. The first
thing he did was 20 take his tooth
brush, soap 1t well, and begin to wash
his feet with It.
For heavens sake. mani" ex.
claimed the stranger, sis that your
toothbrush"
Not at all" replied the imperturba'
BILE senator. This is my toe brush
And the fellow rushed out of the car
hid away In the smoker, and Sanders
saw no more of him on the trip.-Los
