GOING TO PANAMA
TO BUILD CANAL
Chairman Shonts and Engineer Stew
ems Now En- Route.
HAVE NO DEFINITE PLANS
KIND OF A CANAL NOT YET DE-
CIDED.

Al EW YORK, July 2o.-John F. Ste
" vens. the newly appointed chief
engineer of the Panama canal,
sailed today for Panama on the steam
ship Mexico. Chairman Shonts of the
canal commission accompanied Mr..
Stevens. Mr.. Stevens will assume con-
troll Of operations Immediately upon ar
irving at the isthmUs.
Neither Mr.. Shonts nor Mr.. Stevens
has visited the isthmus before. and
Doth said they would prefer to wait
until their return before talking Of con-
ditionS down there. They told some
thing of the plans, however, and the
work they propose to do at once to as
sure the success of the canal building.
Nothing But Work.
M. Shonts said he had heard many
complaints regarding conditions on the
isthmus. but had paid no attention to
them
There are men down there who have
just complaint. and that is that they
have nothing to do but work They
have no ar1usements and no friends.
Men 1000 miles from home and under
these conditions get homesick, OF
course What they want is amusement.
healthy games and outdoor exercise. In
order to remedy this we will estab
10 establish club house across the
isthmus.
Mr.. Stevens and / saw the president
and we talked over the canal plans in
a general way OF course, the kind of
canal to be built is yet to be decided
upon. l should say that il would take
ten or twelve years to construct a sea
level canal, and about five years to
build a lock canal"
No Delay Hereafter.
Mr.. Shonts said that arrangements
have been made to carry on the work
without any interruption whatever
should Mr.. Stevens resign as chief en-
Rincer.
Mr.. Stevens said that he was going to
the canal z2ne with an open mind and
would make the best Of conditions as
he finds them.
Speaking Of the possibility of Chinese
labor being employed, he said:
Il have tried the Chinese in this
country and found them good. I will
try many experiments until we get the
best kind of labor"
