CANAL MATTER
UNSETTLED
STILL
DECISION OF CONSULTING
ENGINEERS NOT FINAL
Experts Disagree as to Whether or
Not Sea Level Waterway
Is Practicable

Washington, Nov. 20.-Although
the board of consulting engineers has
decided in favor of a s.a level canal
1t is yet an open question whether the
Panama canal shall he sea ,nvel or
a lock waterway The decision of the
board of consulting engineers is not
final The decision of the board was
reached by a vote Of eight to FIVE m
favor Of the sea level project. General
Davis and Messrs. Burr and Parsons
joining with the five foreign en-
gineers against a lock canal
The report of the board of en-
gineers probably will not be subroitted
to President Roosevelt for four OF five
weeks. AS to the character of the
great project, the report viii not be
unanimous. In fact two reports, one
by the majority and one by the mi
nority, will be submitted. These re-
ports the president viii lay before the
canal commission and Chief Engineer
Stevens for consideration. Mr.. Stew
ems will come TO the United States
from the isthmus to take up the sub
iect with the commission and with the
president.
From what has been said by mem
bers OF the committee and the views
expressed by them, there seems little
doubt that they will disagree with the
recommendations of the consulting
board, which has voted to. recommend
a sea level canal.

Philadelphia, Pa. Nov. 20.-Dr. j.
William White, professor of surgery
at the University of Pennsylvania and
a member of the committee on athlet-
les, returned tonight from Washing
ton where he had been summoned to
discuss with the president matters re-
lating to football
DR.. While said:
"The president did me the honor Of
asking me to lunch with him at the
White House for the purpose of dis
cussing with him the situation as to
American football. An article of mine
published in last weeks Outlook was
the occasion of the invitation. As to
what took place during my visit the
president has permitted me to say
that we are in complete accord as to
the need of the permanent abolish
ment of brutality and foul play; of
the Increase of the powers of the Off
cials and of the severity of the penal
ties as being necessary to bring about
such abolition as to the desirability Of
careful consideration of any changes
In the rules that may be required to
minimize danger while preserving the
essential manly and vigorous charac-
teristlcs, anl as to the urgent need Of
earnest effort to secure a simple and
uniform eligibility code for all Ameri-
can colleges and universities. The
president said he "emp phatically be-
lieves in continuing the game"
The president added, brutality
and foul play should receive the same
summary punishment given to man
foul blow in boxing. The umpire must
have the widest latitude in enforcing
this principle, even to the extent of
ordering not only individual players.
but whole teams off the field and coll
lege presidents should hold to the
sharpest accountability the umpire
who permits foul or brutal football in
any game. We want simple rules, not
complicated rules. because com plicat-
ed rules offer too many loopholes."
The president spoke more than
once of the desirability of continuing
the game ana of extending to as many
as possible its advantages with the
safeguard already mentioned. He said
that the five or six leading colleges
should get together and agree to play
one another under such an agreement
as he prescribed. He also spoke of the
far greater relative danger of many
other sports anI pastimes. some of
which he enumerated He showed
characteristically keen interest In and
thorough acquaintance with the whole

BLUFF DOESN'T GO WITH
THE MAN OF STRENUOSITY
Statement That Roosevelt Favors
Reciprocity With Canada
Caused Trouble,

Boston, Mass, Nov. 2O.-Henry M.
lieutenant governor at the last cleo
tion, tonight made public the cores
pondence which had passed between
President Roosevelt and himself con-
corning the statements made by the
president during an interview last
winter which was granted to COM
mittee from Massachusetts, on recipro-
cal trade relations. The president in
formed a Massachusetts, committee
which called on him last week in ia
vor of free hides that Mr.. Whitney
had deliberately misrepresented what
had occurred at last winters confer
ence. With this experience in mind
the president declined to enter upon
discussion of free hides from the
free hides committee, the chairman of
which was Governor w. L. Douglas.
The statement of Mr. Whitney during
the recent canvass in Massachusetts
that the president told him he favored
reciprocity with Canada was that to
which the president took exceptions.
After the president had made public
his address to the hides committee,
charging Mr.. Whitney with misrepre-
sentation, Mr.. Whitney maintained
that the president had certainly spok-
en- in favor of reciprocity with Canada
on broad lines Turing their interview.
In the correspondence which Is Civ
en- publicity tonight. Mr.. Whitney
wrote to President Roosevelt that the
president had done him = great lnjus-
tice in charging him with wilful mis-
representation, requested an inter
view with the president and expressed
his regret that reciprocity did not
have the presidents endorsement
In his reply Presl lent Roosevelt de-
clares that Mr. Whitney's letter fur
nishes additional evidence "of the
wisdom OF my refusing to communi-
cate further with YOU" and asserts
that nothing he has ever said had CIV
en- Mr., Whitney the slightest warrant
in making the statement that the re-
ciprocity was not to have the presi-
dents aid. He charges Mr., Whitney
with making additional deliberate
misstatements, and closes by refusing
to grant the requested interview.
