theisthmus. There is grave misgiving
as to sanitary conditions there, and the
government at Tokyo has no desire to
sacrifice few hundred or thousand OF
its people to the experiment of canal
building for Uncle Sam
Accordingly, II is reported, the Tokyo
government has sent a commission 10
look into conditions in the Canal Zone
The report of this body is expected to
have an important effect on the la Dor
problem there. The Japanese are re-
garded as experts in sanitation and
medical organization, and a report
either way from a commission of their
experts will have much weight and in

COMPETITIVE TEST
FOR CANAL WORKERS
Firm Bidding for Contract to Supply Laborers Suggests
Employment of Japs Coolies Italians and West Indians
That Relative Merits May be Ascertained

A new and interesting suggestion
locking to q solution of the question
of labor on the Panama canal has been
proposed by firm that is bidding on
supplying laborers.
This suggestion is that the commits
sion hire 1000 each of laborers from ia
pan, China, Jamaica, Italy, and, if they
can be had, the United States, and hold
competitive test Of the merits of the
different classes.
There are plenty of offers to provide
labor, ranging all the way from south
ern colored men to Japanese. 1t is
stated on high authority that one firm
has offered to provide either 1,0o0 or
1000 Chinese workers at 70 cents per day
for year, and that another proposes
to provide an equal number of Chinese
AGRICULTURAL workers from the southern
part OF the empire. where the climatic
conditions are muci like those Of Paua-
ma in some important respects, al 81.

EASTERN HIGH SCHOOL
INVESTIGATION IS SLOW
No Time Set for Meeting of Committee
and No Definite Plan of
Action.

Although the Board of Education last
night authorized the committee on high
schools to take up the Eastern High
School trouble. there seems to be no
prospect of anything like an immediate
Investigation
T. Holdsworth Gordon, who is chair
man of the committee on high schools,
said TO a Times reporter today that he
had no idea when the committee would
hold its first meeting.
I'VE may meet some time during the
coming week. he said. but L cannot be
certain about this. All of the teachers
and many of the pupils will be out of
town now for several weeks, and we
will have to move slowly in making our
investigation.
Il have not the slightest idea how
we will proceed in the investigation.
Outside of what 1 have read in the
newspapers 1 know little of the case !

ern High School along with Superin-
tendent Stuart and Director Hughes,
and had a very enjoyable time We
went for the purpose Of trying to smooth
things over much as possible.
Personnel of Committee.
The committee on high schools is made
up of ]. Holdsworth Gordon, chairman;
e Southard Parker, and James F.
Bundy. The meetings of the committee
will be held largely in the Franklin
School.
T. w. Smith, president and chairman
of the executive committee of the East
Washington Citizens Association, who
has taken an active interest in the af-
fairs of the Eastern High School, in
speaking of the recent trouble, said to
Times reporter this morning:
1T must be plainly evident TO the
school officials and the Board of Educa-
ton that all this trouble could have
beer averted had Mr.. Swartzen exer-
cised more congeniality in the admins
tration of the affairs of the school.
There is one question" Mr.. Smith
said that the East Washington Citi-
gems Association cannot understand, and
that is, Why has the male attendance of
the school dwindled down from approx
mately 200 students in 1900 to about so,
which was about the average attendance
of boys during the school term just
closed?

EQUITABLE MUST
GO INTO COURT
States Attorney to Demand
Restitution Of Money.
MAY BE CRIMINAL ACTION
Effort Will Be Made to Debar Guilty
Officials From Holding Positions
in Similar Institutions.

NEW YORK. June 23.-Action will be
begun at cnce against the Equitable Life
Assurance Society and it's officers by
States Attorney General Mayer, who will
demand the restitution of the large sums
or money taken illegally from the So
ciety, and will bar all the guilty men
from holding office in any similar cor
poration.
District Attorney Jerome, who recent
~ said that the Equitable men were
morally as guilty of crime as Larry
Summerfieid." will ask the grand jury
To investigate the scandal il he can ind
sufficient evidence to justify criminal
action.
Attorney General Mayer after his re-
turn from Washington. where it Is said
he held q consultation with President
Roosevelt made this statement.
Il believe that an official should not
predict what he will do. Performance
is preferable to promise. 1t is manifest,
however. that the people throughout the
whole country are profoundly interested
in the affairs of the Equitable Society.
What Will Be Done
Therefore I think 1t fitting TO say
that appropriate steps will be speedily
taken by me as follows:
Ito accomplish the return to the
Equitable of any profits wrongfully
made or retained by reason of trust
relations or otherwise.
..2-To debar from holding Office in
this company any person who. has been
faithless to his trust or who has violat-
ed any provision of law.
'.3-To obtain an accounting for any
waste or misappication of funds for any
reason or by anybody.
There are certain other matters OF
Importance which l am studying, but to
which il would be premature to refer in
detail. 1t might, for instance, be to
the interest of the policyholders TO learn
the character of and occasion for some
of the legal services paid for during the
past few years
Policyholders' Rights.
But above all inquiries as to alleged
delinquencies the greatest necessity of
the situation is that the rights of the
polcyholders in all respects should be
ascertained clearly and completely and
as quickly as is legally possible
I'm this and other particulars l shall
try my best to attain results"
Twill criminal as well as civil pro-
ccedings be instituted?" the attorney
general was asked
IF any crime has been committed by
anybody criminal proceedings are ini-
tally for the district attorney" Mr..
Mayer said.
Mr.. Jerome ii can be said. is con-
vinced there is doubt that certain
of the Equitable officials are morally
responsible for the present conditions,
but whether there is any evidence OBJ
tainable TO warrant criminal proceedings
Mr. jerome does not know. but intends
to find out
There is TO doubt. according TO the
attitude of Mr. Jerome that no direc-
tor or official. however high may be his
station. will escape prosecution if a
complaint can be obtained. or If the re-
port of Superintendent Hendricks is suf-
ficient to warrant the starting of a
john Doe inquiry into the affairs of the
Equitable.
