FRICTION SHOWN
Members of New Isthnian Canal
Commission Already Have
Difference.
QUESTION OF WHO.lS WHO
Secretary Taft Presented With For
NAL Protest-Some Changes
Will Be Made.

Washington. April 25.-The 18TH
April by President Roosevelt. has
had its first difference of sufficient i'm
portance to warrant the presentation
to the secretary of war. Four members
of the commission submitted to Secre-
tary Taft yesterday dignified protest
against serving in positions which
made them appear not the equals of
the members of the executive commit
tee. but as subordinate to Chief Engin-
eer Wallace.
VIII Make Changes.
Secretary Taft has called upon the
members of the executive committee
for their views. and it is understood
they have agreed TO change the status
of the protesting commissioners SO
they will officially and otherwise occu-
py the same plane as Mr.. Wallace
This is the explanation made of the
visit which Messrs. HarrOd, Hains. En-
dicott and Ernst, the protesting COM
missioners, paid to Secretary Taft yes
terday. There is another reason, il is
reported, but which apparently has pot
been laid before Secretary Taft-that
the men named desired to go ahead
and formulate plans for the construc-
tion of the canal. but were opposed by
the executive committee composed of
the chairman and two members.
ReorgnnIzed for Harmony.
When President Roosevelt disband-
ed the old commission and appointed
its present personnel the main idea un-
derlying his action was to minimize
friction. and thus to have complete
harmony in the construction of the
canal. The men were selected not
only for their ability. but for their
personal qualities as well. What was
wanted was body of men who should
be able to settle things for themselves
and not bother the president or secre-
tary of war about the mere execution

None of Bigelow's friends were in
the court room during the brief pro-
ceedings. His method of covering up
the shortage is thus described:
Collection accounts were manipuat-
ed TO the extent of 40 and in some in
stances 80 per cent to make it appear
that the reserve fund was intact and
the amount of the increased collection
fund was diverted to special stock op-
eratiOus. The reserves maintained in
eastern banks were tampered with. the

eral hundred thousand dollars than il

In the falsifying OF the records and
