tarily thanked me IL the warmest terms
for what had been done in the reor-
ganization of the canal work in the posi-
ton which had been given you. You
co-os Grated for all these weeks in the
work of reorganization and accepted the
position assigned you under the Presi-
dents order of April l. The President
and myself relied upon this TACT In MAX

bers were accepted with that in view
Now, within twelve days after
your arrival upon the isthmus you send
me a able. which, read in the light of
what YOU say today signifies your prac-
teal acceptance of an offer OF another
position inconsistent with the perform
am aseonished that you should be so
diSregardful of the splendid opportuni-
ties of the position which would have
made you famous the world over by the
honorable performance: OF your duties
of chief engineer.
Persuaded by Larger Offer.
For mere lucer you change your
position over night without thought of
the enaparras ssing position in which you
place your Government by this action,
wEsn the engineering forces on the 18TH
mus IRE left without real head and
your department is not perfected in or
ganzation; when the advisory board of
engineers is to assemble under call of
the President within two months, and
when I am departing for the Philippines
on public duty.
".All this you knew as well as knew
it, but Il has not had the least influence
upon your action-you have thought of
yourself and yourself alone. l consider
that by every principle of honor and
duty yoI were bound to treat the sub
ject differently. You have permitted the
President and all of us to proceed in full
confidence that you would perform the
functions OF chief engineer. and now,
in an hour, you drop great duties and
throw them back upon US as If it were q
matter of no consequence. and all this
for your personal advantage solely
Taft Does Not Agree.
q Mr.. Wallace. I do not agree with
your idea of your rights. nor with your
idea as to your duties. 1 do not agree
that the Presidents original order CIV
ing him the right to discharge an un-
faithful commissioner gave you the right
to abandon your duties at a critical
moment: but independent of that origin
al order you accepted the duties of chief
engineer on the isthnus under the re-
cent order of April l. which was made
In cooperation with you and to suit
your views. More than this, your duty
in the premises is Tot measured by your
mere legal contractural rights. It
should be measured by the high obli-
CATION OF a public officer with a sacred
allegiance to the Government it should
be his honor and his pleasure to serve.
You were, therefore, in honor bound by
all that has preceded to continue to per-
form your duties upon the iSthmuS until

have afforded us reasonable opportunity
to select a competent successor and pre-
pare him for the great duties of that

The complainant is Isaac d. Chamber

He asks the court to restrain Thomas

Burns faction. from collecting OR receiv-
ing any revenues of the order of the

from attempting TO act as general sec-
retary of the order.

Great fame attached to your office,

Wallace, and with great personal pain
and disappointment, I am bound to say
that l consider the public interest re-
qnres that you tender your resignation
at this moment, and turn over the rec
ords of your office to the chairman of
the commission
I'm reply Mr.. Wallace stated that he
was deeply disturbed at the view of the
subject taken by the Secretary; that he
had considered that he had a right to
retire when he chose, but that, as he
had said. he was desirous Of talking it
All over and making some arrangement
whereby the Government could use his
services in some capacity.
Replies to Secretary.
THE Secretary answered in substance
Mr. wallace, further talk is useless II
would be to dicker. I cannot dicker or
such a grave subject. 1 have assumed
that you have given this subject the
greatest consideration, and you have ap-
preached it deliberately and stated te
me your action In set and definite terms
You have unmistakabIy announced tina,
you purpose to accept a position SO at
tractive that you could not possibly af-
ford to decline it, and that you would
not henceforth perform any duties for
the Government as Inconsistent with
serving your new masters. who require
your constant presence in New York
and therefore that you could not and
would not go back TO Panama as chief
engineer
Mr.. Wallace again stated that he
deeply regretted that the Secretary g
point Of view was different from his
own, and said that he would send his
resignation as soon as he got back

were present the Secretary of War, Mr..
Wallace. and Mr. Cromwell. who for
some time had been charged by the
President and Secretary with general
advisory duties in all Panama canal af-
fairs.
Mr.. Wallace stated that part of the
interview would be personal to himself.
and part would concern the general
canal work on the isthmus. The Sec
retary acquiesced in Mr.. Wallace's sug-
gestion that he first speak of the per-
sonal matters.
Offer From New York.
Mr. Wallace then said that few
days before he sent a dispatch to
the Secretary he had received a cable
from prominent business men in New
York, asking if he would consider an
offer to accept an important position in
New York and that he had cabled in
reply that it was simply a question of
terms and conditions, and that he had
requested particulars; that the par
ticulars came, and 1t proved to be
definite offer Of position as president
of large holding company, controlling
several other corporations, with certain
stock benefits and other advantages to
himself, which, with the salary, made
it equivalent to $4,000 a year; that he
did not at once accept the offer. but de-
layed 1t for few days, in order to-
cable the Secretary OF War, during
which the parties increased their pro-
posal between ten and fifteen thousand
dollars a year, making 1t equivalent to
$4,000 or $4,000.
An Attractive Position.
He stated that the position was an

had only hoped to obtain after the com
pletion of the canal-and thus only after
years of further service on the isthmus,
that the duties of the new position were
especially agreeable, and afforded oppor-
tunities to make money through invest
ments. etc; further, that the position
was such good one that he did not
consider that he could decline it; that
life on the isthnlus was lonely and ac-
companied with risk To himself and WIFE
and was another reason for accepting a
better offer; but that his new duties
would not require all of his attention
for the next two months, and that the
parties had agreed that he could close
up his canal work in the meantime, al
ways provided that it did not take him
from New York to the isthmus. He re-
ferred to the Presidents order appoint
ing the original commission and in
which the President had stated that the
commissioners would hold Office subject
to the due fulfllment of their duties,
and he stated that this made the office
subject to termination by the President
and that consequently, he (Mr Wallace5
considered that the holder of the office
had an equal right to retire from it at
his option at any time.

Concluding, he stated that. while he
was thus severing his connection with
the canal work, he was willing to make
up his annual report, and he would. if
desired by the GoYernment continue to
