wv changes are to he made in the
personnel of the Panama canal
commission. President Roosevelt has
let members of congress know that he
is not at all satisfied with the work of

the session which closed last Saturday,
would enact legislation under which he
could reconstruct the commission and
place the work of building the canal on
a more practicable basis than now eX-

the initiative, rontenting itself with

HONOLULU, March S-The police
here are Of the opinion that if
Mrs. Stanford was murdered the
guilty person is in san Francisco. High
Sheriff Henry expresses this view.
1t is pointed out that the opinions of
the physicians taken with the result
Of the chemical analysis, as given in
evidence at the inquest, indicate that
to bring about fatal result Mrs. Stan
ford would have to have been given
one of the capsules, which it has been
admitted contained a small quantity
carbonate of soda at the same time,
and that both would be required to
bring together enough strychnine to be
fatal.
Not Enough Strychnine.
According to the estimates of the
chemists the strychnine in the dose of
bi-carbonate of soda and the capsule
combined was only One-twelfth Of a
grain, unless the strychnine was all at
the top of the bottle and was taken
when Miss Berner poured out the dose
OF soda Mrs Stanford'S failure to
comment on the bitter taste Of the
medicine is, however, held as disprOv-
ing this theory
The physicians say that that one
twelfth of a grain of strychnine might
possibly be fatal TO a person of Mrs.
Stanford's age.
Deputy High Sheriff Rawlins, who
will accompany the remains to San
Francisco. will take the trip for the
purpose of consulting the police of
that city.
