ARBITRATION MIXUP.
Strike OF LabOrers in Marble Yards TanEies

A general strike OF marble mill hands for
a new agreement. which started a month
ago and is still in progress, has involved
some Of the marble trades which are work.
ing under the arbitration agreement Of the
Building Trades Employers Association
The mill hands are employed at the yards.
They are not regarded as skilled laborers
by the employers association, which
therefore does not recognize them in the
arbitration agreement
Some Of the other trades hold that this
refusal to recognize the mill hands is a
violation of the arbitration agreement, as
the other trades suffer in consequence.
There also is mixup of the trades, by
which individual members Of one OF the
trades working under the arbitration agree
ment are involved in the strike.
1t was decided yesterday to lay the ques-
ton before the general arbitration board
of the EN- ployers and the unions this week.

Leave Him Broke. but " Guild Pay Debts.
TOPEKA, Kan, July Efforts are being
made to-day among the banking creditors
of C. j, Devlin here and In Kansas City.
Chicago and st. Louis to finance the Devlin
Holding Company. which intends to take
over all Of his affairs. II this is done 1t is
predicted that the First National Bank OF
Topeka will not only pay all obligations
in full at an early date, but that large
fortune will remain for Devlin.
That Devlins assets II properly handled.
will aggregate nearly 81 900 900 as against
liabilities, almost exclusively to banks, OF
81, 0OO, 900. is the firm belief Of those most
interested. II the various properties are
disposed Of at forced sale, it is believed,
the creditors will all get their money, but
nothing will be saved to Devlin from his
fortune. The amount which must be
raised Immediately is placed variously
at from 3250,Oo0 to 81 1000. 900, with the
former amount generally accepted as the
correct sum.
James 7. Hadley, temporary receiver OF
the bank, said this morning that no state
ment Of the banks condition would be
made until the Comptroller Of the Currency
gave it out The feeling Of alarm here has
subsidized, and the closing Of the banks to-
day because Of the holiday, it u believed
has put an end to the small runs on the
other banks.
There is no stringency in financial affairs
here because Of the failure, this being due
to the fact that more than half OF the de-
posts Of 81 300 900 were by the State. county
and city, and SIS 900 by the Knights and
Ladies' Of Security. a fraternal organization.
While there has been talk OF possible
prosecution growing out Of the failure.
there is no definite statement made as yet.
The basis of talk is the law which prevents
the lending of more than $50 900 to one per-
son. Devlin or companies under his con-
troll have borrowed over 81 600 900 from the
hank.
KANSAS CITY, Mo-. July A Kansas City
bank last night received an inquiry from
Baltimore indicating that c. j. Devlin,

stakeholder in the First National Bank Of

1t is known that Devlin and his corpora

like $500 600 Kansas City banks nearly

AUTO BOAT LOSES RUDDER.
T.. II. Thomas Sails the Dixie on a Reef
-ArEe Wins In Fast Time.

f.. r. Thomass new auto boat Dixie and
a new boat named Argo, built and raced by
Charles l.. Seabury met in a race arranged
by the Indian Harbor Yacht Club yesterday
afternoon. The two boats. which are very
near the same size started together tn go
twice around a IA mile course. The Dixie
was ahead at the start, but on the first round
the Argo beat her In actual time by n seconds.
Then. for some unexplained reason. Mr..
Thomas steered the Dixie straight for the
Hen and Chickens reef. He had been given
a chart Of the course just before the race
started, and this chart showed all Obstruc-
tions. II he had wanted to wreck his boat
he could not have tried harder. and it was
lucky that he got of with only the loss of tho
rudder. The Dixie had to be towed in, and
there will be another job for the builders.
On the first round OF the course, which
was from on the clubhouse at Indian Harbor
to the bell buoy off Lloyd's Point and back.
the times of the two boats were: Dixie, IS 20:
Argo, 34:53. For this IA miles the Argo had
been travelling at the rate of "a OS miles an
hour and the Dixie at the rate Of 1918 miles
an hour.
On the second round OF the course the Arso
did still better. She made the fourteen nauti-
cal miles at the rate Of ?4.57 nautical miles an
hour her time for the fourteen miles bein g
81 minutes IL seconds, For the whole course

speed was ~ .872 miles an hour. This Ia the
fastest time that has ever been made by an

The boat is new one. and 1t is very probable
that when she il IN better tune she will do
faster miles.
In the next class the Challenger and Skeeter

PANAMA GRAFT.
=
POh + ms on the Canal
nmiSsiOn.
POOR ORGANIZATION.
Bay Rolls are Padded and Various
Forms Of Petty Graft
Practiced.
DUE TO BAD MANAGEMENT
The Present Canal Commission Is De-
clared to Be Failure by Every Man
Who Has Visited Panama During
the Past Six Months.

Washington. March 2S.--Graft has
already made its appearance among
the employees of the United states on
the Panama canal. according to an
American engineer who was on the
isthmus only three weeks ago. 1t is
evidently high time President Roose-
welt were carrying out his plan for a
complete reorganization of the canal
commission. This engineer. who had
Exceptional opportunities to gather in
formation as to conditions on the 18TH
mus, declares it is within his personal
knowledge that pay rolls are already
being padded and that various forms
OF petty graft are practiced
The trouble is said to be lack of an
efficient organization. Chief Engineer
Wallace is working like a Trojan in
the field and has almost worn himself
out trying to push the work at cule-
bra hill and to bring order out Of chaos
In the organization. The present canal
commission is declared to be failurs
by every man who has visited the 18TH.
mus during the last six months. The
commission remained at Panama just
long enough to establish certain IRON
clad rules. whose literal enforcement
has been a great detriment to the
chief engineer and the other officials
who are trying to push the work. Then
the members of the commission. with
the exception of General Davis, re-
turned to the United States, and are
here yet. Evidently they DO not care
to live on the isthmus and prefer the
climate of New York and Washington.
on account of the unsatisfactory state
of affairs on the isthmus many en-
gineers and other employees of the
commission are giving up their jobs
in disgust and returning home.
