The President and the Canal.

1t appears likely that the bill providing
for certain legislation in the Panama
canal zone will die the death unless the
senate agrees to the proposition of the
house conferees to cut down the MEM
bership of the canal commission, if not
to abolish it altogether says the Atlanta,
Ga, journal of recent date.
The abolition of the commission would
certainly not be an unmixed evil. The
most of the gentlemen composing it
appear to have decided objection to
spending their time on the isthmus.
There is the danger of disease there;
there is the menace of work involved.
1t appears not to be apart of the program
which the commissioners have outlined
for themselves to actually earn their
salaries. The commission has been in
existence for many months, and its
members have demonstrated inability to
act in unison.
The president was reported, a short
time ago as expressing the wish that he
could find a strong man of great eX-
ecutive ability, willing to give his I'M
divided attention to the gigantic task,
into whose hands the work might be
given. No gentleman has presented him
self in spite of the fact that the presi-
dent intimated that the job ought to be
worth 500 900 year to the right man.
If the commission is abolished and it
now appears probable that it will be, the
task will fall upon the president himself.
He can either pick out his 100000 a
year man, and give him full swing on
the isthmus, or give general direction to
the work himself.
The people want the canal, they want
it as quick as they can get it; and they
are very much inclined to agree with
the president that the commission has
so far been more of hindrance than a
help. If he can get.the ditch dug quicker
without commission, let him do it. If
he were not president of the United
States, and the question of selecting a
man capable of getting something done
people, we believe that Mr.. Roosevelt
would be chosen for the place. For it is
not to be denied that he has the faculty
of getting things done.
The country in general will bear the
abolition of the canal commission with
great equanimity, we believe; and will
be rather glad than otherwise to see the
president himself given full swing on
the isthmus. 1t is one of the greatest
works of modern times and there are go
many necessary delays erd disaproint-
ments involved in it that the popular
feeling is against the retention of body
of men who insist upon introducing un-
necessary delays. We believe that the
president will get the work done quicker
than a commission could do; and results
are what the country wants."

OF all the diseases known, with
which women are afflicted, kidney dis
ease is the most fatal. In fact. unless
early and correct treatment is applied,
the weary patient seldom survives.
Being fully aware of this, Mrs. Pink
ham, early in her career, gave exhaust
i've study to the subject, and in pro-
ducing her great remedy for woman's
ills Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound-was careful to see that it
contained the correct combination of
herbs which was sure to control that
fatal disease, woman's kidney troubles.
The Vegetable Compound acts in har-
mony with the laws that govern the
entire female system, and while there
are many so called remedies for kidney
troubles, Lydia E. Pinkhams VeRe-
table Compound is the only one espe-
cially prepared for women, and thou
sands have been cured of serious kidney
arrangements by it. arrangements of
the feminine organs quickly affect the
kidneys, and when woman has such
symptoms as pain or weight in the
loins, backache, bearing down pains,
urine too frequent scanty or high col
ored, producing scalding or burning,
or deposits like brick dust in it; UNI
usual thirst, swelling of hands and feet,
swelling under the eyes or sharp pains
in the back running down the inside
of her groin, she may be sure her kid
neys are affected and should lose no
time in combating the disease with
Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com
pound, the woman's remedy for wo-
mans Ills
The following letters show how
marvelously successful it is.

TWO WIVES IN ONE HOUSE
New York Man Arrested for Having
Three, Two In the Same Flat
Building
By ASSOCIATED Press.


NEW YORK, Oct. 1t.-Accused of
having three wives living. two in the
same fiat building in Eighteenth street,
each of whom believed that she was
the only wife, Robert Benecker was
arrested last night and arraigned in
court today on a. complaint made by
two of the women. He is % years old
and a painter.
The woman who claims to be his first
wife, Norma, 10 years Old and Emily,
20 years old, who says she is the sec
ond Mrs. Benecker, told the police that
a third wife was at Fall River, Mass,
and that the two, while still ignorant
of each others relations to Benecker,
were persuaded by him that the Fail
River girl was his sister. They said
they had both supplied money with
which he recently sent her back to
Fall River. The woman who says she
is the first wife, Norma Benecker, told
the police that after her husband left
her and went to housekeeping with n
second wife in Eighteenth street, she
herself moved to the same house with
out knowing that Benecker was main
tanning another wife there. Emily, who
claims to be this other wife. corrobo-
rated this story and said further that
she and Norma had been acquainted
with each other before their marriage.
When they met again in the Eigh-
teenth street house. they say they dis
covered that Benecker was the husband
of both of them.

NO RED PAINT, SAYS DUNNE
chicago's Mayor Declares White Is
Better Color to Decorate

CHICAGO, Oct. 11.-Mayor Dunno
yesterday declared himself In favor of
white paint instead of red in the dec
oration of towns, particularly with ref
erence to Chicago. The occasion was
the opening of the convention of the
National Paint, Oil and Varnish asso-
citation.
"I trust" said the mayor, that if
you must paint the town it will be with
white paint and not with red, as Chi
cago is in need of all influences toward
cleanliness. However, if a certain
amount of red paint is used, I place
the Chicago police at your service al
will personally see that any of you
members are well cared for"
John II. Peters of New York replied
to the mayor.
Steps were taken to establish a fire
assurance association for the benefit
of the members. The question of rail-
road rates also came up, and the asso-
citation placed itself on record as in
dorsing the attitude of President Roose-
velt as expressed in his last message.

Joseph Ramsey, jr., failed completely
today in his effort to wrest control of
the Wabash system from George j.
Gould. Not only was he unanimously
defeated in all he undertook, but he
was forced from the directorate of the
ROAD ana now mas nOlIlllR whatever "
do with it's management in any man
ner He put up hard fight and strug-
gled gamely to the last, but was so
hopelessly in the minority that he never
had a chance. He filed protests all
through the meeting, not with the rea-
son, as he afterward declared, of being
an obstructionist, but because he de-
sired to lay the foundation for any con-
test that might hereafter be made. He
took his defeat in a philosophical man
ner, saying:
II think that with fairer treatment in
the caucuses I might have made a much
better showing than I did.
II am not the kind of man to en-
ploy destructive or obstructive tactics
wantonly. l will say, however, that
the meeting that has just closed is not
the end of this affair by a great deal,
but 1 cannot say just now what the
next step will be-"
Mr.. Gould was highly pleased at the
outcome, although he showed his feel
ings less in words than by his manner
and hearty laugh as he contemplated
the figures showing the result
Just before the announcement of the
final vote electing the directors was
announced Judge Doy :, speaking for
Mr.. Ramsey, filed a formal protest
against the election as directors of the
Wabash road of Russell Sage and
George ]. Gould on the ground that
they are directors of the Missouri road,
which is a competing line of the Wa"
bash. His protest was placed on file.

WOULD KILL TO END AGONY
Young Woman Proposes That Dying
Persons Be Given an
Anaesthetic

BY Associated ETeSS'
PHILADELPHIA, Oct. 11.-Miss Ann
S. Hall of Cincinnati startled the HUI
name society today by proposing the
adoption of a resolution on legalizing
the administration of anaesthetics to
persons dying in agony. Miss Hall said
there were times in cases of railway
wrecks when trainmen and passengers
were so badly injured that their lives
could not possibly be saved, In such
cases, Miss Hall thought, it ought to be
permissible to administer anaesthetics
to relieve their sufferings.
She also favored administering an
aesthetics when persons were dying
from incurable diseases from which
they suffered agony. In these cases,
Miss Hall said. she would not hesitate
to shoot a person who might be dying
in agony in railroad wreck, but she
did not think laws should be passed
comforting upon any one the right to
determine when any person should die
by giving an anaesthetic. The resolu-
ton was ruled out

CoURT-MARTIAL OF YOUNG
Days Session Is Taken Up Largely
With Testimony of Technieal
Nature
BY Associated Press

By Associated Press
MARE ISLAND, Oct. 1.-THE Young
court-martial today was largely de-
voted to the hearing of technical evil
dence.
Commander Bartlett testified that
his idea of the explosion was that the
spring of the safety valve of boiler B
was not defective, but that the defect
was in the pipes leading thereto. He
said the pipes were not carrying away
the water as they should have done.
Assuming that the facts as brought out
in the previous testimony of the hour
of starting fires in wing and pit fur
naces of boiler b. on the morning of the
explosion and the time the steam
showed, the judge advocate sought to
get from the witness the conclusion he
might have arrived at.
The witness said that so many de-
tails had to be gone into that he could
not form a conclusion. The court then
took a recess to visit the Bennington,
so that the experts could make their
evidence more plain.

NEW YORK, Oct. 11.-Among the
things upon which President Richard A.
McCurdy of the Mutual Life Insurance
company will be interrogated when he
resumes the witness stand before the
legislative committee is the story which
reached the ears of Chief Inquisitor
Hughes today to the effect that every
winter the Mutual maintains a house at
Albany where it offers sumptuous en-
tertainment to various legislators whose
friendship it is desirable to retain.
Hughes was informed today that a
chef was sent I'D to look after the
culinary department at the Mutuals
Albany headquarters so that whenever
the Mutuals representatives had occa-
sion to invite any legislators to
luncheon the quality of fare was sure
to be of the best.
1t was also asserted that upon close
examination it might be found that
certain legislators who would scorn
to sell their votes were not averse to
winning easy money at cards, and that
some of the yellow dog" fund If prop
erly itemized, would disclose some
handsome winnings by legislators with
corresponding losses to the Mutual
Equitable New York life fund for fight
ing iniquitous legislation. Hughes may
also try to throw some light upon the
wine cellar which the Mutual is said
to maintain.

MUTINEERS MURDER FOUR
SAILORS AND CAPTAIN
TRAGEDY AT SEA ON SCHOONER
HARRY a. BERWIND
The Blanche II. King Puts Into South
port, N. c., With Three Negroes In
Irons, All That Remained of Grew
of III Fated Vessel

WILMINGTON, N. c., Oct. 1.-THE
murder of Captain Rumill and four
of his crew of the four-masted schoon-
er Harry A. Berwind in mutiny while
the vessel was bound from Mobile to
Philadelphia is the story told in a spe-
cial to the Star from Southport to-
night.
The schooner Blanche H. King, Cap
tain j. w. Taylor, bound from Bruins
wick. Ga, to Philadelphia put into
Southport this afternoon bringing in
irons three negroes, all that remained
of the crew of the Berwind. The cap
tain, mate, cook and an engineer who
did hoisting work aboard the latter
vessel apparently had been killed in
the mutiny and their bodies thrown
overheard and the body of a fourth
sailor, a negro, was found lying on
deck, where he, too, had been killed.
The Berwind being from a territory
against which this city is quarantined
for yellow fever, the three negroes
taken from her are held at quarantine
until arrangements can be made for
their detention by the federal authori-
ties.
