Presidents Stated Pref
erence for Nicaragua
Causing Comment.
MORGAN'S STRONGHOLD
Thought That Roosevelt Is
Hunting Canal as Well
as Rate Help.

That the problems relating to the
construction of the isthmian canal will
loom larger from now until they are
taken up by Congress. Is anticipated by
people who have followed developments
of the past few days.
In his speech at Mobile last night
the President referred TO the powerful
opposition to canal construction and
admitted that he believed this opposi-
ton was still ct work That such in
fuences have been manifest and that
they are going to continue to embarrass
and impede canal construction is not in
any way new; but the Presidents frank
recognition OF the condition and his
public declaration that no opposition
can permanently interfere with the
success OF the canal, is accepted as i'm
portant.
Question of Practicable
Friends OF the Panama canal route
incline TO regret that the President
should have said in his Mobile speech
that ne was himself originally in favor
OF the Nicaragua route. 1t Is pointed
cut that the whole question OF the prac-
ticability of the Panama route Is likely
TO be opened this winter. The original
advocates Of Nicaragua are by no
means prepared to accept Panama, and
the opponents Sof any isthmian canal
are ready 10 re-anforce them. With the
President on rec0rd as admitting that
ditch. critics Of Ranama will be able
ways.
The tentative announcement by Secre-
tary Taft that the contract plan of
building the canal might yea be adopted
Is also accepted by the opponents of The
canal as distinct advantage to them.
They urge that so radical q change oe
plan is an admission of failure in the
initial stages of the work They are
prepared to make the most of this argu-
ment and TO use every opportunity to
magnify criticism into scandal with the
purpose OF. breaking down the force of
public sentiment which stands for the
completion OF the big ditch
Political Effect.
The political effect of the Presidents
Mobile address is discussed with inter-
est. He pointed out that he believed the
canal would be of especial benefit to the
commercial interests of the South, and
appealed for Southern support on the
ground that the South was peculiarly in
terested in the project. This appeal for
Southern support In the commercial me-
tropolis Of Alabama, whose senior Sena-
tor Is the redoubtable John T.. Morgan
chief apostle of Nicaragua and chief de-
crier of Panama. is especially significant,
in view of people who anticipate that the
Morgan influence will still be thrown 10
the side Of critics and opponents of the
canal.
The President went South. SO it was
believed 10 appeal for Southern support
on the railroad rate Issue. he IS i'm
proving the opportunity TO ask support
on siie canal Issue as well The erect
OF his appeals. on the voting disposition
will be OF the greatest Importance in the
coming session.

1t is not only the duty of the

Lawlessness in the United
States is not confined to any one

Clintock. the Mutuars SIS, 900 actuary
is today on the rack before the legisla-
tive investigating committee.
1t was to him President McCurdy
passed all the technical questions he
did not care to answer himself. Pres
fdent McCurdy, while testifying last
week. frequently refused 10 answer on
the ground that the actuary possessed
the knowledge desired.
Among the questions which Presi-
dent McCurdy declined TO answer was
why the company's dividends had
shrunk ever since McCurdy became
president. While the dividends de-
creased. President McCurdy's salary
rose from $4,000 to s15O,0OO
Mr.. McCiintock said he received 50, 900

Discussed History.
The witness spoke at much length of
the history and effects of various kinds
of life insurance and insurance laws.
In differentia.ing between a fraternal
order and n purely assessment COM
pany. McClintock said In effect that 1t
was matter of social union and friend
ship. In a fraternai organization the
members, rather than give up the lodge
order. paid the increased assessments
In purely assessment company the
members simply dropped out.
Fraternal Orders.
McClntock said that his knowledge OF
the present fraternal organizations. with
Insurance features, was purely external,
as their business had never interfered
in the slightest with the big life com
panies.
He has not come to Mutual affairs
yet.
The opinion was expressed today that
even II subpoenas were issued for Muir

cratic bosses would not be put on the

not until after the election.
