new YORK ENGINEER HAS A SCHEME

WASHINGTON, D. c., Sept. 19.-
The board of consulting engineers to-
day heard explanations of the plans of
the canal by Bunau Varilla, who was
engaged on the canal under the
French regime. Bunau Valilla told the
board that under his proposed method
the canal could be constructed and be
in operation within five years and be
leepened into sea level canal in five
years more. He would construct locks
on a foundation below the sea level.
With the locks built down to the level
dredging could be continued without
to commerce. The same
locks could be utilized at every depth
until the sea level was reached.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Sept. 10
J. w. Boyd, aged 40, clerk in the ma
rine hospital service, has been arrested
upon the charge of embezzling gov
ernment funds. He confessed that
two years misappropriation through
the manipulation of vouchers amounts
to about $4,000. He would retain the
real voucher and substitute a forged
one and later present the original as
a new one. Boyd was absent on ac-
count of illness and it became neces-
sary to get the papers from his desk
that the vouchers might be seen. The
secret service bureau was notified.
Boyd has been an extravagant liver.
His wife is now in Europe. His SAL

ty. Lane asked Mrs. Cross what wa

she had paid the negress 5000 and had
promised her more. He told Mrs. Cross
she was being deceived and laid a
trap for the negress.
Monday, when the negress called
them up by phone, Lane told her that
Mrs. Cross was ill and wished to see
her at the house. Then Lane, Cross
himself and another man, hid in Mrs.
Cross room. The negress appeared
and related to Mrs. Cross more of her
stories.
Then the men appeared. The ne
gress saw she was in a trap, and when
confronted by Cross, admitted that she
had never seen him before. She also
confessed that her stories were not
true. Then she was put out of the
house and ordered to leave town on
pain of arrest.

NOVEL DEFENSE
OF BooDLERs
Grove Johnson Raises a Fine
Technical Point
ELECTION Certificate WAS FAULTY
Senator Accused Of Accepting a Bribe
May Not Have Been Legally En-
titled to Seat.
ELECTION CERTIFICATE WAS FAULTY

SACRAMENTO, Calf, Sept. 19.-In
the Emmons trial today the prosecu-
:on offered in evidence certificate
sisned by the clerk of Kern county,
which it was claimed showed that En-
mons was elected state senator. Attor-
ney Grove Johnson objected on the
ground that the document was not a
certificate of election, as the district
has three counties and the document
in question is simply a statement by
Emmons received a certain number of
votes in that county and was not the
certificate of election required by law.
The indictment alleges tnat Emmons
was elected senator and the prosecu-
ton must prove the same by a proper
showing. The court held that defacto
officers acts were legal and admitted
the document but Johnson said he
would later present his authorities. He
said the acts Of defacto officers are val
id in civil matters where the rights of
a third party are affected but in GRIM
inal cases the rule is different and
the prosecution must substantiate the
ALLEGATIONS of the Indictment. The on
ly witness this forenoon was Moses
Heinz, deputy in Assessor Dodge's Of
bribe money. He admitted that he was
a protege of McNab's and said he could
not mold his position fifteen minutes If
McNab demanded his removed.

water and went to Buenos Ayres,
where she was drydocked. A third of

WASHINGTON, D. c., Sept. 1s.-
The latest mail reports from Manila
bring remarkable copies of a speech
made by Bourke Cochran at a BAN
quet given the Taft party by Arch
bishop Harty, in which the anti-im-

support of the administrators policy
in the islands. He declared that the
president could count with absolute
confidence upon the support of men
who formerly opposed the acquisition
of the islands. He said he and his

pie Of the Philippines.

is EXPECTED TO FILE HIS WATER
REPORT WITH THE COUNCIL
TONIGHT.
Arrived on Delayed Train and Could
Not be Seen-Decide Fate of Har-
bert Ranch.

Whether or not an adequate supply
of water for a gravity system exists
on the Harbert place four miles above
Walla Walla or whether it will be nee
essary to resort to the plan of En-
gineer Weile of going II miles up
Mill creek for source Of supply, is
expected to be embodied in a report
that will in all probability be sub
mitted to the council tonight by Engi-
neer R. H. Thompson of Seattle, un-
der whose direction development work
was carried on at the Harbert place
last spring.
Engineer Thompson arrived in WAL
la Walla on the delayed w. & r. c..
train this afternoon and it is believed
his visit at this time is to submit his
report of the work carried on at the
Harbert place last spring and to ad-
wise the council what course to pur-
sue to secure an adequate supply pro-
vided the Harbert place is abandoned,
and it is now believed that it will be.
Engineer Thompson has just return
ed from a six months trip to Eu-
rope, made for the purpose of study
ing water systems and the operation
of plants for disposing of garbage and
refuse of cities. The most of the de-
velopment work at the Harbert ranch
was carried out during Engineer
Thomson's absence. although the re-
suits were forwarded to him by the
water department of the council. From
these reports Engineer Thomson is
expected to make UP final report that
will decide one way or the other the
advisability Of continuing subter-
ranean development work.
Immediately after arriving in Walla
Wala Engineer Thomson went directly
to his room at the Hotel Dacres. I'm
meloately after luncheon he met with
members of the water committee and
it was impossible to reach him. 1t
was thought that he might decide to
visit the Harbert ranch personally to
look over the situation, but as
most of the wells sunk last spring have
been filled up, this plan was abandoned
The engineer is perfectly familiar with
the rock formations and water courses
unearthed at the Harbert ranch, as ne
spent one whole day at the ranch at
the time Well No. was being sunk.
The engineer went to the bottom of
the we'll and made a careful examina-
ton of the different stratas of rock
and the course of the veins Of water
pouring into the well at that time.
In view of the fact that the council
is anxious to begin work on some
plan of securing a gravity water sys-
tenn the report of Engineer Thomson
has been impotiently awaited.
