blow up the presidents train near Ridge
wood, n. J.
The Chautauqua special was stopped at
Suffern early Saturday morning. There
was consultation over the telephone, fol-
lowed by consultation OF railroad men.
at which II was decided to send the presi-
dent to sparkin, a small town on the Hud-
son, three miles below Mack, by little
single track road. known as the Piermout
branch, and thence into Jersey City on the
Northern railroad, a branch having sc ter
minus in Mack.
President Roosevelt was awakened and
told OF the change in the schedule. as the
officials did not like to take the RESPONSE
bility without his consent. The president
after some discussion said that he was
'in the hands OF the Erie" and while he
had no fear Of his train being wrecked on
the main line. he would do what the rail
road men thought best.
Slow time was made over the Piermont
branch and Northern branch and extra
men guarded every part Of both roads

goods that were not up TO the specifications

sponse to Secretary Wilson's cablegram
urging him to return from England and

The letter was as indefinite as Hyde's re-

FIRST PROBLEM AT PANAMA
Government Must Provide for Labor
ers Before starting Work
on Canal.

NEW YORK, Aug. 14-The care of 10000
employees to work upon the Panama canal
was declared by Chairman Shonts of the
Panama Canal commission, who arrived on
the steamer Mexico today from Colon, to
be of first Importance and to have prece-
dence over the actual work OF digging
Chairman Shonts was accompanied on his
return by Colonel Oswald H. Ernst, also Of
the canal commission Chairman Shonts
said:
I'VE went to Colon with Mr.. Stevens. the
chief engineer, to see what had been done
and what should be done. We found the
first thing of Importance to be housing and
supplying 10000 men. When our govern
ment first took hold of the canal every
effort was directed toward making the dirt
fly. I think this was a necessity. The peo-
pie Of the isthnlus are not forehanded and,
with the large addition to the population
caused by the influx of the canal laborers,
the supplies for living were exhausted.
This caused the prices to rise and soon the
laboring class found that they could not
earn enough to support themselves. To
! offset this subconinlssionary stations were
| established to feedtt laborers I made
| an arrangement with the president that
unless prices became normal on the 18TH
| mus to continue this system of supplying
the laborers.
At Colon a large refrigerating plant is
| now being established from which all sup
plies will be issued promptly, so that
| shortly all American employees will be able
to obtain the same fare as they would at
home. TOf course 1 found the freight con-
! gestion causing considerable trouble, but
soon found that by applying those practical
up-to-date railroad methods OF the United
! States that in thirty days the trouble
| would be eliminated There is about 5000
tons on hand now This freight was or
| dered by the old commission to be dellv-
cred at certain intervals We however,
took the matter up and urged prompt ship
ment with the result that it all got to the
,terminal point at once.
| LAS to double tracking the railroad, that
| cannot he done at present, even II neces-
| sary but rs the work of getting out the
| dirt progresses, we can easily keep up with
the work with extra trackage We have
supplied refrigerating cars for the road.
There are about 10000 employees on the
isthmus now, including the laborers"
Mr.. Shonts said that there was in reality
no yellow fever scare to speak of at the
isthmus and that the total number of cases
in Panama during August up to the time
of his sailing was only thirty.
PANAMA, Aug. H.-W E. Daucy, who
has been the engineer in charge OF the
Culebra division of the canal work and an
appointee of former Chief Engineer Wal
lace, has resigned He left for New Yorl;
today. The engineering operations on the
canal are now suspended pending sanitary
work. Many employees will return to the
United States during the idle period.

PURE FOOD SHOW OPENS Up
Liberal Attendance Marks the First Night
of the Exhibit.
BOTH ATTRACTIVE AND SATISFYING
II You DO Not Believe the wares Are
Good You Can Test Them All
and satisfy Mind and
Appetite.

Everything that we eat and some things
that we drink. too. are being demonstrated
at the pure food show which started its
ten-day exhibition at the Auditorium last
night with a full assortment Of various and
sundry edibles and drinkables. That the
people Of Omaha are constantly Clamoring
for innovations in the way OF new and good
things to eat was never more strikingly
brought to light than it was at the opening
performance" Of the show last night, when
some SEQ housewives and housemaids flocked
to the big building to see some genuinely
pure food dished out to those who asked it,
Everything in the fluid line, from aqua
pura down to genuine malt, is on hand to
be tasted for the asking, and as intermedi-
ate drinkabes there are coffee, tea and
some condensed milk, to say nothing of
the assorted brands OF chocolates.
The many booths are presided over by
young women who are always on hand to
do any kind OF demonstrating and assist In
any way possible towards giving informa-
ton as to the purity of their goods.
The pure food show is being given by the
Nebraska Retail Merchants association and
will be in session for ten days. The first
demonstration takes place in the afternoon
at $50 and again at $3.50. In the evening
the doors open promptly at 1880 and the
demonstrations continue until everyone is
satisfied as to the quality Of the goods
which are up for inspection.
Perhaps the most striking booth in the
whole building is the Advo electric kitchen,
which the McCord- Brady company has
fitted up Biscuits and bread and assorted
cakes are baked in full view Of all and
samples of the toothsome foods are given
out.
