ENGINEERS DISAGREE.
Some For and Others against Sea

Washington. July 1T.-There are indications
lected from among the eminent men Of the pro-
fession in this country and abroad to make
suggestions regarding the Panama Canal will
not render unanimous verdict 1t is evident
that there will be great difference OF opinion
in respect to the methods to be followed and
the type of canal. The President in selecting
engineers to serve on this International board
for advisory purposes, invited the technical
members OF the main. permanent, board to
submit the names Of men considered worthy OF
being called on for service of this important
character Most Of the members of the cont
mission sent in names, and Il was known gen
orally whether the engineers thus designated
were for against a sea level canal The board
contains men who entertain decided views on
the subject. some OF them for and others in op-
position TO the sea level project The report
consequently, is expected throw little light
on the subject. The information which the
International board will act is being prepared
by the Canal Commission and will include thH
remarks of those experts in addition. II is be-
lisved that there viii be the same proportion or
difference of opinion on the important phases OF
the canal question in the International board as
now exists in the regular board.
II is no secret that the engineers OF the canal
commission hope that the whole eSta Dfishrnenr
will be transferred to the Secretary of State
This is mainly for the reason that Mr.. TAFT mas
been obliged to turn over to others the direct
authority and personal interest he would other
wise have i'm the project.
There is some complaint that the work OF the
technical people is being interfered with and
that there is one in charge in the canal COM
missions office here 10 look after problems con-
ttnually arising which require the attention or
expert.
