HANDLING The 1900 IS
one OF The GREAT PR OBLEM
sHoNts DISCUSSES WHAT HAS
BEEN GONE AND HOW PLANS
MAY De cHANGEp-THE
DIRT FLYING.

New York, Aug. 1.-THE care Of
10000 employees to work upon the Pa.
mama canal was declared by Chairman
Shonts OF the Panama Canal Commits
sion, who arrived on the steamer Mex.
leo today from Colon. to be OF the first
Importance and to have precedence
over the actual work of digging.
Mr.. Shonts said that there was in
reality no yellow fever scare to speak
OF at the isthmus and that the total
number Of cases In Panama during Au.
gust. up to the time OF his sailing, was
only thirty. Chairman Shonts was &C.
v.mpanied on his return by Oswald
n, Ernst, also Of the Canal Commits.
sion. Chairman shonts said:
I'VE went 10 Colon with Mr.. Stew,
ems, the chief engineer, to see what
had been done and what should be
done. We found that the first thing
OF Importance to be housing ana sup
plying 10000 men. When our Go ,ern'
ment first took hold of the canal ev.
erything was directed coward making
the dirt fly. think this was a mis-.
take. Time should have been given
toward preparing for the task by max
Ing arrangements to take care OF en-
ployes. II Is true also that the labor
ers were not promptly paid and that
matters were becoming congested on
the railway and steamers. The people
OF the isthmus are not forehanded and
with the large addition to the popula,
ton caused by the influx OF the canal
laborers, the supplies for living were
exhausted. This caused prices to rise
and soon tho laboring class found that
they could not earn enough to support
themselves. To Offset this subcom--
missary stations were established to
feed the laborers.
Il made an arrangement with the
President of Panama that unless
prices became normal on the isthmus
to continue this system OF supplying
the laborers. At Colon o large refrig.
Grating plant is now being established.
from which all supplies will be issued
promptly. SO that shortly all Ameri.
can employees will be able to obtain
sfhs same fare as they would at home.
"Of course, found the freight con.
ge1ton causing considerable trouble,
but soon found that by supplying those
practical up-to date railroad methods
OF tlhs United States, that In thirty
days NE trouble would be eliminated.
ThertNis about 5000 tons on hand now.
This ifeight was ordered by the old
commission to be delivered ae certain
intervals. We hurried the matter up
ind urged prompt shipment, with the
result that It all got to the terminal
point at once.
"As to double tracking the railroad.
that cannot be done at present, even
II necessary, but as the work Of get
ting out the dirt progresses, We can
easily keep up with the work with ex-
ira trackage. We have supplied re-
frigerating cars TO! the road.
There are about 10000 employees
on the isthmus now, including the 10.
bu.ers."

GAMBLING At TAHOE

Reno, August 3.-Tahoe, the haven
Of the searcher for rest and quiet 81
the summer and rendezvous OF Cali
fornia's elite, Is being transformed into
a Monte Carlo. Tallac, heretofore the
staidest and most exclusive resort In
the Sierra Nevada, is now the scene
or nightly revelry. The clink OF the
glittering gold, the roll and rattle OF
the ivory ball and the constant hum
or excited voices can be heard most
any night In the big new, gambling
hall, the Casino.
Games of every description, includ-
ing even the nickel-in-the slot ma
chimes, are played to the limit. Report
his 1t that no license is being paid
Tor the games, but even this would be
illegal, for Tallac is located in Ell Do
RADIO County, California. and the laws
Of California are very strict in regard
to gambling.
Nat Goodwin of San Francisco this
week went against a roulette game at
the new Casino, and though the reports
differ, 1t is understood he dropped al
the loose money he had with him, CASH
ed one or two checks and then boz
rowed enough to get down to Car
son.
Several times within the past ten
days the sight of women pawning their
jewels to secure enough funds to reach
home has been common. Mrs. George
Williams, who with her child was stop
ping at the lake, lost all the money
she had this week. To reach her home
at Los Angeles she was compelled to
pawn her diamond rings and watch.

and Acting Attorney General Peters
have had the matter in hand for some
days past.
There are two classes of users to be
dealt with-those whose premises We're
connected with the sewers, respectively
before and after the rates were def1-
niteIy authorized by legislation. 1t Is
likely that test cases viii be made out
of both classes, and if successful in
either or both the results viii be fol-

those found liable. Citizens who used
the convenience from an early period in
its existence without paying the
charges imposed, if found liable for the
period before the legislation, will have

It is a courtesy that has been alive
since the first connections were made
with the system four or five years ago.
