LIFE ON CANAL IDEAL.
Commissioner Shonts FOreshadows
 Workmen's Paradise on Isthmus.

WASHINGTON, July 7.-Life on the isthmus of Panama is to be made lealthful, comfortable and enjoyable before the real work of digging the canal is begun, according to an an- nouncement of policy made by Chair man Shonts of the Panama canal com mission. Mir. Shonts said:
 Our first duty is to create sound underlying conditions. This is now vastly more important than the moving of dirt. The men must have suitable houses in healthy surroundings, they must have wholesome and nourishing food at reasonable cost, they must have suitable transportation facilities to get to and from their work and they must have opportunity for recreation af- fo .ded them.
 Tn regard to the wages paid and the statements that so many men have left because of reduction of salaries, the fact is that wages instead of having been reduced have been very consider ably increased in every branch of the service on the isthmus."

THE PUGlLISTS.
RUHLIN HAS
 HIS CHANCE
If Matched With Marvin
 Hart He Should Win Herrera and Goodman to heet-Jefries Lost Money

Gus Ruhlin and his manager, Billy Madden, expect to start for San Fran cisco in the early part of the coming week. Ruhlin is booked to meet big Texas Jim" Mccormick before the Colma Athletic club early in August, and the winner is promised match with Marvin Hart, who is at the pres ent time generally conceded to be the heavyweight champion.
 Ruhlin should beat Mccormick, un- less he has gone too far back in the fighting game. He is cleverer than the Texan, and has more experience, but will find his hands full in accomplish ing the job
 Mccormick is probably the best rough house fighter in the business, and if the Akron Giant gets to making 1t pretty hot for him he is liable to use his teeth or boots, perhaps both. What he did to Sandy Ferguson last winter down in Hot Springs has seldom been seen outside of barroom or street fight, and if big Gus is not careful he is liable to emerge from the ring a winner, all right enough, but minus an ear. Ruhlin has nothing on McCor- mick in size or weight, and If the Texan will fight and cut out his foul tactics he will be hard man to trim in twenty round bout.

BASEBALL NOTES.

In the Northern league it is claimed that Umpire Joe Hornung has been induced to desert the Connecticut league. This isn't believed hereabouts. The outlaws will go after the batboys soon.
 Dwyer, the Waterbury youngster. playing with New Haven, hit the ball hard yesterday. He got two safeties and one fierce slam was detected to Rogers by Luby's brave try with one hand.
 It was certainly funny to see young Jim ORourke strike out three out of five times up yesterday, and Hodge enjoyed a quiet smile at his expense. But all the same James didn't kick at the umpire.
 One of the many uncertainties of baseball was emphasized at Holyoke yesterday when the Orators took kind ly to Hodges slow ones. Even Hi Ladd connected with one of the teas. CTS to which he usually succumbs, and took two bases on it.
 Speaking of Manager Whitney indu- cling Tom Dowd and Pitcher Wiggs to desert the Tri-State for Burlington, Ginley declares that when Whitney wants a man money is no object to him. The fans are now wondering how much worth he wanted Vickers.
 Manager Danaher ought to invest in some capable players and make the most of his opportunities to be finan- cially rewarded for the time expended in baseball. Good players can be had if the city in which the returns would be great enough to warrant expendi- lures.
 As an exhibition of what he Is cap- able, George Ramon yesterday threw ball from within. about 15 feet of the flagpole clear over the Holyske grand stand. arousing the astonishment of those who had come early. If George could be induced to repeat the feat daily as curtain raiser, it would prove drawing card.

JOYCE AND HINES SUSPENDED.
A.A.U. to Investigate Charges Against
 Their Amateur Standing.


 The registration committee of the Metropolitan association of the Ana teur Athletic union has ordered the suspension of John J. Joyce, of the Irish-American A. C., and Thomas Hynes of Galway, a cross-country and distance runner of great repute on the other side. These two men recently ran couple of match distance races in this city, and on July competed in Boston. The men have come under suspicion because of these races and their amateur standing is to be ill., yestigated The chief thing which led to the charges against the men was the fact that although the men were entered and had agreed to run at the games in Celtic park July 1, they eom- peted in Boston.
 The exact text of the announcement of suspension is: Suspicious circum- stances, which in the judgment of John Steil, chairman of the registra- tion committee, are sufficient to make the amateur statue of Messrs Hynes and Joyce matter of reasonable doubt, having been brought to the at tention of the committee, Mr Steil an- nounces the suspension of the two athletes pending an investigation. One of the charges is that manager of one of them applied to men handling a set of athletic games for a sum of money in case they competed. Anoth- CT charge is that they agreed to ap- pear at certain games in the Metro politan association, and permitted it to be so announced, and competed in Boston instead"
 James E. Sullivan not so long ago declared against the running of match races. The absence of Chairman Steil in St Louis prevented action against Joyce and Hynes being taken earlier.

 NEW YORK, July 7.-Interest in the Equitable situation centered in the un. expected activity of the societys agents, who are organizing to protest against certain of the reforms planned by the new administration. It is said that one of the reforms contemplated is the redistributing of the United States and the placing on a salary of large number of agents who are now on commission.
 At the office of Archibald c. Haynes, general agent of the Equitable, who is the head of the largest life insurance agency ill the world, a meeting of the agents subordinate to Mir Haynes was held, and from one who is in touch with the situation it was learned that the object of the meeting was to for mulate a protest.
 It is said that this activity on the part of the agents is for the purpose of maintaining Gage E. Tarbell, second vice president of the society, in his present position as the supreme head of the agency forces. There was even a rumor that behind the movement is plan to organize new insurance company and take over many of the Equitable agents in case MT. iarbeli should be removed from the second vice presidency. ...--
