SEA LEVEL CANAL
Board of Consulting Engineers
Has Declared Itself
BY Large Majority Against the
Lock System.
RAILROAD VICTORY.
TranscOntinental Lines Secure
New Lease of Life.
1t VIII Take Many Years Longer
to Build It.
RAILROAD VICTORY

washington, Nov. 1S.-The board
of consulting engineers of the 18TH
nian canal commission today de-
cIared itself by a large majority in
favor of a sea level canal.
The conclusion was reached after a
long and careful study of the project.
Since the beginning of September the
board had held meetings and in spe-
ciaI subcommittee had studied the
plans for a sea level canal with the
greatest care. A trip to the isthmus
was made to enable the members to
form better idea of the physical diff
ficulties which had to be considered.
The membe of the board are men
of the greatest reputation in their line
of work. France, Germany and Hol-
land sent their most eminent special
lists at the request of this government
At the beginning it was evident that
majority of the members were in
favor of a sea level canal. Theil
point of view is even if it cost more
than a lock canal and would take
longer in the building, it would Ulti-
mately be of greater use as it will en-.
able ships to make a much shorter triI
than if obliged to go through three
or four locks. On the other hand wa;
a minority which wanted to see the
canal built in as short a time as pos
/ sible and with the least cost, declar
1 ing that a few hours longer for the
| trip through the isthmus made littl,
or no difference. One of the member
gave this explanation for his way o
voting:
.''It may be that several of us vii
not see the sea level canal finished il
our lifetime, as it will take consider
ably longer than ten years, but thel
we have the satisfaction to know tina
for all the generations to follow w
have made the shortest and mos
1 practical way of communication be
| tween the Pacific and Atlantic, and a
long as we had to decide on a ques
ton for all time, we do not think tia
/ {. few years more or less makes a Yer
| important difference. That is the wa:
our party thought about it, and what
ever may be said in favor of or agains
it we have after the most careful stud
given an opinion as we saw our wa
to do it,
No official statement will be give
out before the report of the commits
sion reaches President Roosevelt
which will be about January.

INCOME $4,000. 600.
John d. Rockefeller Has Had a Pros
porous Year.

New York, Nov. 18.-John D. Rookie
feller will on December Is next draw
s5.0O0,O 900 as his shave of a dividend of
SO a share declared by the Standard
Oil company. The total dividend viii be
$40, 600 900 and Mr.. Rockefeller now owns
50 per cent of the capital stock of the
company, in addition to 40 per cent Of
the capital stock Of all subsidiary com
panies.
The SO a share declared for the quar-
ter compares with Sc for the previous
quarter and 81 for the corresponding
quarter of last year. The increase of So
per share explains the advance made in
September by the Standard Oil COM
pany in the price of oil. The consumers
Of petroleum were thereby Sorced to in
crease Mr.. Rockefeller's Christmas pres
ent.
The declaration makes the Standard
Oil dividend for the year 1905 40 per
cent or $4,000, 000 OF this Mr.. Rookie
feller's share is $40, 900 600. 1t is estimat-
ed that his income from his railway
gas, subsidiary oil companies and other
investments Will be at least $4,000 O0o
more, so that his income for the year
on the most conservative estimate has
not been less than $4,000 600.

ACTRESS SUES SANTAFE
Violet Rosedale Caven Wants $25,OOO
for Injuries in Newton Wreck.

Miss violet Rosedale Cavell. an ac-
tress. whose home is in New York
city. has filed suit in the district court
against the A., T. & S. F. railroad for
S25,00O damages for injuries received
in a wreck which occurred near New
ton. Kansas, last September. Miss
Cavell, who is a vaudeville actress, was
making the trip from Los Angeles to
Kansas City and when the train in
which she was riding was near New
ton it left the track and the plaintiff
claims that she received such injuries
she was compelled to cancel all of her
engagements. The petition further
states that she suffered from the
nervous shock and internal injuries
which will incapacitate her from fol-
lowing her profession as an actress.
Miss Cavell was doing impersona-
tions of Mrs. Leslie Carter for which
the plaintiff claims that she was re-
ceiving a regular weekly salary of
$780, and that her contract called for
an entire seasons performance at this
figure. The action is brought by
Thomson, Stanley, and Price & Davis,
attorneys from Kansas City.

the crematory plant a nuisance and
calling for its abatement.

that the plant is run in a sanitary
manner. The mass meeting was at

While a few had spread the report that
yellow fever had been the cause of
death, yet the mapority are of the same
opinion as the coroner.
The fact that yellow fever is spread
by mosquitoes and that the frost of
the past few weeks has entirely ex-
