WALLACE COMES TO SEE TAFT
CANAL CHIEF ENGINEER TELLS
OF THE PANAMA WORK.

Has Apparently No Thought OF Resigning

yellow Fever Not Epidemic In Zone
Chief Engineer John F. Wallace OF the
Panama Canal, accompanied by his wife.
arrived last night from Colon aboard the
steamship Orizaba. chiefly to have con-
ference with Secretary Taft before the latter
sails for the Philippines on visit OF four
months. Mr.. Wallace would say nothing
about the rumor that he means to resign,
which apparently is far from his thoughts.
He has been altogether year on the lsthmus
and believes that he Is acclimated. having
had a touch OF yellow fever during his
early experience there.
There are now 1900 men at work In the
engineering and construction department
of the canal Among these are 100 Ameri-
cans. Several weeks ago part OF a ship
load OF Russians who were going to try
their fortune In California were attracted
by what seemed to them fabulous wages
for laborers, and 100 Of them stopped on
the Isthmus and went to wor X on the canal.
Mr.. Wallace has the impression that almost
any workman who takes good care OF him
self will be unlikely to get yellow fever,
which he says ia not epidemic in the Canal
Zone. The eight hour law is. vigorously
enforced, 40 that the workmen have plenty
Of time for rest.
The work on the Culebra cut Is being
Government finally decides to have the sea
level or the six lock canal the work already
ACCOMPLISHED and that which was now
going on will be necessary.
Mr.. Wallace will spend part Of his va
cation preparing plans with his colleagues
fen Ia g.
sion to the board of advisory engineers,
consisting Of twelve distinguished engi-
neers. This board will recommend to the
isthmian commission the type OF canal
they consider best for shipping interest.
The commission will IN turn submit the
matter to Congress.
Mr.. Wallace himself is in favor OF sea
level canal. He believes that in making
garment it is better to have the cloth all wool
and yard wide than it is to get merely
bargain counter shoddy. He thinks that
the canal should not be built for a few
years but for all time, and that it should be
navigable to ships of the deepest draft and
should be able to let them go through in
the shortest space OF time possible. The
cost OF construction, 1t was true, would
approach $3.50, 900 900. and the time probably
would be twelve years, or four years longer
than that required for the building Of the
six lock canal Mr.. Wallace thought that
the removal OF the element Of red tape
would help along the work good deal.
Glen ". Dolloti a cabin passenger by the
Orizaba had an abnormally high tempera..
t,lre and was removed to Hoffman Island
for observation. He is an oil well driller
and was employed in the Peruvian petro-
leum field. He had been only five hours
on the Isthmus before embarking.
Several hours south of Sandy Hook the
Orizaba met two large whales bound south.
They passed very close to the ship. spouted
several times and then disappeared.

THREAT TO ARREST CAPT. STRONG.
Proctor's Wants Back $3.50 Garnlsheed
for Frank Keeney.

difference of $3.50 between Capt. Put
nam Bradlee Strong, husband Of May Yohe
and now an actor, and the treasurer OF
Proctor's Twenty-third Street Theater
may lead to Strongs appearance In police
court to-day. Strong and May Yohe
appeared last week at the theater and
his wife received $3.50 for the weeks en-
gagement, playing twice day.
Strong's first appearance on the stage
was under the wing of Frank keeney,
the Brooklyn manager, with whom he
and his wife signed four weeks contract
at a pretty stiff salary, At the end of that
time Strong, it is alleged owed Keeney
$3.50 for money advanced. After that
he and May Yohe became their own man
ayers.
When Keeney heard that they had been
booked for week at proctor's, he con-
cluded he needed the $3.50. He spoke to
Strong about it and Strong. it is alleged,
gave him an order on the treasurer OF
Proctor's for the money, the understand
ing being that it would be deducted from
the $3.50 for the weeks engagement
Keeney left the order at the box office
and the treasurer accepted it. At the
end Of the week. however, he paid Strong
$3.50. He woke up next day when Keeney
came around to collect $3.50, and he recol
lected that he had not only given Strong
his full salary but had given him as well
the order in favor OF Keeney. Manager
Proctor told Keeney that he would make
good, no matter what Strong saw fit to do.
Then was sent an ultimatum to Strong
that unless he made good within twenty
four hours criminal proceedings would
be begun against him.
Strong and May Yohe are living in a
Queen Anne cottage at Bensonhurst which
they have rented. A Sun reporter rang
the doorbell last night and May Yohe
opened the door.

"No, he is not. she said decisively.
Then she was informed what the caller

Mrs. Strong blandly. "The Captain is at
home; come in. There were two men nosing
around here to-day, and when asked them
what they wanted to see the Captain for

Now that is no way to speak to lady and

Omaha woman's Act.

Word was received here Sunday evening
that Maggie Faith, one Of the three women
of the Etherton crowd that assaulted MRS
Ponner at First avenue and Thirty-nlnth
street is now at her home in a nearby
town, thoroughly repentant OF her asso-
citation with the Etherton gang
The story of her restoration to her home
and people possesses a human interest IN
which a prominent club woman OF Omaha
figures conspicuously and nobly, but whose
name is withheld for obvious reasons. Inc
Omaha philanthropist had seen an account
~ the Etherton- Bonner episode, and the
subseauent dismissal of the three women
from arrest on condition of their leaving
Council Bluffs, and she was satisfied that
she knew the wayward girl giving the name
of Maggie Faith as Q person OF respeetS-
bIe parentage. The result was that the
Omaha philanthropist set out to hunt Mag
Gle Faith and succeeded in doing So as
the marty of women had gone to Omaha.
Tho girl Maggie, was scarcely 20 years or
age and very preposessing IN appearance
She was only too glad to leave the life
she had started out upon, and her Omaha
friend provided herswith a presentable out
AZ of clothing, cared for her day or two
and then paid her way home, accompanying
her to the train.
The incident is told, TO show that the
milk of human kindness has not been
wholly absorbed by the creameries OF
selfshness and that a good turn and kind
word at the right time can save an errinS
one from inevitable destruction.

RIGHT TO ORDER DIPPING DENIED

Judge whiting settles Injunction
case I'm Favor of Stockmen.
HURON, S. D.. Aug. 6.-tSpecial)-T
decision of Judge Whiting Of the Ninth
judicial circuit, in what is known as the
cattle dipping case is received with
much interest. One hundred or more
farmers and stockmen combined to resist
the enforcement of an order by the state
board OF cattle commissioners requiring
all cattle in this, Beadle county, to be
dipped, regardless of whether or not they
were infected with "scabies." Application
for an injunction against r. w. Clark,
county cattle inspector, was made to Judge
Whiting, and the motion was argued at
length here some days since. scores of
farmers and cattlemen being present The
decision of Judge Whiting is very exhaus-
tive, and deals with every phase of the
case. He holds that the state board has
the right to declare quarantine against a
county where the cattle are infected and
the facts warrant such quarantine but
the board has no authority TO make an
order requiring the county inspector to dip
cattle or have them dipped There is an
entire lack of supervisory power in the
state board over the county inspector Such
inspector is given full power to do every
thing necessary to protect cattle in his
county, but can only require cattle to be
dipped where he has made an inspection
and found them disea sed.

The old Knockers surprise ModnIe.

The Knockers" base ball club of Coun-
Gil Bluffs, one of the old-tme clubs Of
the Missouri valley and western Iowa, got
together Sunday and went up to Modale
and gave the Modale club a taste Of their
old-time strenuosity The game was fast
and furious and resulted in a score of
l6 to 4 in favor of the Knockers" Among
the players was one Of the original mem
bers of the club, who is now so close to
30 years old that he will not have to knock
at the 50-door but twice to get close to
the Osler freshman class.
Modale is a little. but gamey, town on
the Sioux City & Pacific, above Missouri
Valley, and the whole town and country
about there came in to see the Knockers
pulverized. Well, that old crowd of
Knockers" didn't do a thing but mop
up the Modales to an everlasting finish,
and they were still so surprised that they
forgot to bid the Knockers" goodbye
when they started for home They were
simply dazed, not discourteous
The result has been as might be ex-
pected-the Knockers" have got their
blood up and they have challenged the
crack Newmeyer ball team Of Council
Bluffs to a game at Lake Manawa next
Sunday afternoon, August 13. The New
meyers have accepted and a great game is
