Recommendations Made.

The report discusses from several points
of view the question of what policy should
be pursued by the government in the man
agement of the railroad.
In concluding his report Mr.. Bristow rec
ommends that the Panama railroad be con-
tinued as a commercial line; that its facili-
ties for handling commerce be improved at
once that it be double-tracked and re-equip-
ped with modern rolling stock; that Its port
facilities be enlarged by the construction of
additional wharves, and that modern faciii-
ties for handling cargo be provided.
That schedule of rates for through
business be provided, fixing the charges at
the minima which the payment of oper-
ating expenses and a fair dividend on the
investment of the government will permit.
The cost of handling freight with improved
facilities and not what it has cost in the
past, should be used as the basis in fixing
rates.
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1905-07-11
Present Policy Be Adhered to.

That the present policy of charging per
cent of the rates on through business, sub
ject tc certain minima, be adhered to.
That the steamship line between New

can lines be Cancelled, and the ports of

all steamship lines on equal terms.
That If, within a reasonable time, a reg
ular steamship passenger and freight serv-
ice is not established between Colon and
the gulf ports, line be established by the
Panama railroad.
That if the Pacific Mail Steamship Com
pany withdraws its present Panama line
an effort be made to induce some other
company to establish a first-class service
between the important Pacific coast ports
OF the United States and Panama, and, In
the event that no other company is pre-
pared to furnish the service, that it be pro-
vfded by the Panama hailroad.
That in traffic connections American
steamship lines he favored so far as can be

FEATS OF THE GENIUS

The Bertillon system has received
sad blow in the demonstration OF
the fact that person may to a very
great extent change his physical pro
portions. Postal Inspector William
Williams, attached to the Denver post
Office, has taken it or himself to show
how this could be done, and some
tune ago he subjected himself to an
examination and then started in on a
systematic scheme for the purpose OF
bringing about such changes in his
general shape and appearance as to
make 1t difficult to identify him by
the measurements previously made by
the Bertillon system, Which were
thought to be infallible.
At the time Of the first examination
Mr.. Williams weighed 100 pounds
and measured 5 feet 2 inches, ana
after going through a somewhat pro,
lolged course OF training he weighed
$50 pounds and measured 5 feet 4
inches in height The system OF
physical culture taken up by Mr. VIII

Of the greatest Of natl nal questions,
