New York, July John +. Wallace,
who resigned as member and chief en-
gineer of the Panama canal commits
sion, of whom Secretary Taft charged
with leaving canal work at a critical
moment, gave a statement to the Asso-
ciated Press last night, replying to
Taft. Wallace says in part:
THE primary causes which led me
to tender my resignation were under
lying, fundamental. and I must en-
phatically resent the charge that my
only motive in leaving the work was a
financial one.
Made No CritIcIEms.
Careful consideration of the entire
subject brought me to the decision
that l should disconnect myself with
the work at the earliest possible date
that it could be done without embar-
rassment to the administration or in
jury to the work 1t is unnecessary to
state the reasons for this decision ex-
cept, in fairness, should say they in
volve no criticism of any act of the
president or the secretary Of war.
For Family ReasOns.
"My final decision was arrived at as
a result of the six days uninterrupted
thought which | was able to give the
subject during the voyage from New
York to Colon, in May. | had pledged
myself to my family to give the matter

artist was greeted with overpowering
applause. In the following act Virgin

An old miner, who occupied front

Medieval MOnarchs.

Almost every medieval monarch
claimed the whole or part of the
dominions Of almost every other and
insisted on inserting his claim in his
list of official titles. In treatises and
all official documents the whole list
was religiously copied, and as it often
happened that the two negotiating
monarchs had some of the same titles
it became usual to insert a clause in
the list, non praejudicando, in order to
Indicate that, no matter how absurd
Inappropriate or untrue were the titles.

cause they pleased the monarch who
claimed them. that they did not confer
