 Washington, Oct 6.-The manage ment of Isthmian canal affairs will re- main under Secretary Taft, who will go to Panama in November to investi- gate the situation there and thoroughly inform himself of the conditions in the canal zone. The decision to keen the control of the canal in the war de- partment, instead of transferring 1t to the state department, was definitely reached to-day in discussion that fol lowed the cabinet meeting. Now that the work is to go forward under his direction, Secretary Taft will proceed to Panama, go over the situation in detail and return to Washington about the time congress convenes. The secre- tary has had conflicting reports regard- ing the progress of tie work, the sani- tation, the facilities for the officials and laborers, and he desires to have personal knowledge which will enable him to decide what should De done and what recommendation shall be made to congress.
 Early next week the secretary will take up the subject of finances and de- eide as to what recommendation should be made to congress respecting the issue of bonds which have been provided for by congress. Secretary Taft will give every feature of the ca nal administration his careful personal attention.

Three sOphOmOres Punished for Par
 ticipatiOn in Disturbances.
 New York, Oct. 6.-Three sophomores were suspended for one year from Co., lumbia university to-day by President Butler because of active participation in recent underclass disturbances at the university The authorities refused to, disclose their names, believing them to be sufficiently punished by the suspen-, sion. While the Columbia officials are not opposed to organized interclass contests, such as "cane sprees" and flag rushes" that may be held on South field, they have expressed a de- termination to stamp out all attempts at hazing of individual freshmen by groups of sophomores and all such public disturbances as occurred on the occasion of the sophomore smoker. The three men suspended were among the twenty-five summoned before President Butler, the other twenty-two of whom escaped with the general reprimand.

DEBRIS FLIGHT IN ANSONIA
LEAPS THROUGH FACTORY YIN DOWS TO ESCAPE PURSUERS.

Women Employees Thrown Into Wild
 Excitement When Animal Suddenly
 Lands Among Them--He Rushes
 Around Machines and Vats and Final
 Iy Crashes Through Another Window
 Caught in Areaway-Returned to
 the Woods.
 Ansonia, Oct g6.-Bounding up Main street shortly before noon to-day and pursued by pack of dogs and big crowd of men and boys, wild deer which had strayed into the city from the countryside, created much excite ment. Cornered by the dogs the pretty creature sought the only means of es- cape, and jumped through a big win dow of the Ansonia Osborne & Cheese man company, carrying window sash and glass with it.
 In the tipping department where the animal landed were several large bales about feet high, which 1t cleared with ease, and landed into the midst of 8 number of female employees, who were thrown into wild excitement. After running around several machines which were in operation the animal jumped through another window on the opposite side of the building, land ing in an areaway.
 Thither it ran madly around several pickle vats, through large coal bin and finally through a doorway into the large packing department of the con- cern, where it was finally overcome after hard struggle with about twen- ty men. Bleeding at the nostrils from jumping through the windows, terri fled almost to death and painting hard for it's breath, it's -captors soon had ropes about it's legs and finally suc- ceeded in landing it into an express wagon.
 Thus it was carried back into the country districts, followed by a large crowd, including Prosecuting Attorney Ford, where it was finally liberated.

PRES. M'CURDY GETS
 SALARY Of S15O,OOO
PAYROLL OF THE MUTUAL LIFE IS DEMANDED AND

 COmmittee-Thinks There Should he

 Such POsftiOns-TwO Vice Presidents

 NepOtism in the Company.
 New York, October 6.-Closing a week, every day of which has produced sensation that has stirred the country, the special legis- lative committee Investigating the methods of insurance companies ad- journed to-day until Tuesday of next week, the sessions to be held Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday of next week instead of Wednesday, Thursday and Friday, as heretofore. This change was made because Friday is registration day in this state and the members of the committee desired to be present in their various, districts.
 While other weeks of the hearing have had sensations, no previous week has had a sensation every day as the one that was concluded with to-day's session.
 On Wednesday, when President Me Call of the New York Life Insurance company was on the stand, he heatedly declared that three-quarters of the bills introduced into the legislatures of the oF he Tato JNJ alyY,, oil measures, and on that ground he ex-' plained the necessity for maintaining the corps of special attorneys. On Thursday, counsel for the committee Mir. Hughes, took another tack and called Robert H. McCurdy, general manager of the Mutual Life Insurance company and son of Richard A. Mc- Curdy, president of that company, to testify as to the agency system of the company, this feature of the business being under his control. While Mir McCurdy was on the stand counsel for the committee brought out facts that changed the prea"ranged course, and the result was the disclosure of the in1- mense profits derived by company off, cials from commissions on insurance issued. Mir. McCurdy was unable to tell the salary of his father as president or the. company and when the investi gation opened to-day it was expected the president of the Mutual Life would be called to the stand before the day was over. By a misunderstanding however, President McCurdy had left the office of the Mutual Life before he was called for. and it is expected that he will be the first witness on Tus- day.
 In to-day's testimony the sensational development was when MT. Hughes demanded the payroll of the executive officers of the company This was pro- duced and showed the salaries of the officers since 1877. For the year 1904 President McCurdy received $150000; two vice-presidents were paid $50,000
