crude petroleum. that has recently added
TO the fame of his State

ceived no application from the COVER

Change in the method Of christening. but

Der Of emergency appointments are to be
made
There was another conference on the
subject between Secretary Murphy, of
the Panama Commission, Secretary
Doyle, and the other officers of the Civil
Service Commission today None, of
course, would talk about the matters
discussed. Ii is known, however, that
the Civil Service Commission is having
great trouble in getting certain classes
of men, for whom Chief Engineer Wal
lace, at Panama. is calling with all the
power of pen and ink.
The men needed are those familiar
with technical work, and the salaries
offered under the law are not attrac-
tice. For instance. mechanical drafts
men are sought at $500 a year On the
other hand, $1,000 and $500 are offered
fol- stenographers.
Again Mr.. Wallace, himself one of the
best engineers in the country, is asking
for certain classes of men employed in
railroad and other kinds of big work un-
known to the lists of the Civil Serv-
ice Commission.
The result is that the commission is
continually doing queer things TO keep
up with the requests of the engineers.
Many of these men, however, cannot be
obtained except in mining and other
countries. where peculiar kinds of en-
cheering is going on, and weeks must
elapse before examinations can be held
and the results thereof certified to- by
those who could not put down a drain
pipe in a field meadow
In many cases the men IN the class
wanted decline to come and play with
the civil service examiners
Just what will be the result of the
conference held today cannot be said.

The regulars of the association and
the Carroll Institute seem to be very

EXPLAINS UTTERANCES
OF PROF. MUNST[RBERG

Moved by the wide publicity given to
the speech made by Prof. Munsterberg,
of Harvard University. at the first am
nual dinner Of the Cosmopolitan Club,
of Detroit. week ago, John Davis,
president OF the club, has written Presi-
dent Roosevelt letter partly explaining
the incident.
President Davis writes that Prof.
Munsterberg remal ks about the Decla-
ration Of Independence were but a repe-
tition of statements contained in the
professors book, 1.-The American. -
No explanation whatever is given OK
the cause of the reports, published all
over the country, of DIR. Munsterberg 8
statement that President Roosevelt '1ai
told him that the Declaration of In
dependence was nothing by mass OF
glittering generalities.
President Davis letter is as follows:
President Theodore Roosevelt, Wash
ington. D. c.:
My Dear Sir: 1t seems proper that
some explana ion should be made O.
the sensational reports of the Prof.
Munsterberg incident last Saturday
night, not that you would believe him
capable of ediscourtesy, but in order
that Justice be satisfied in recognizing
the speakers appreciation of our
strength as well as criticism of our
weakness.
THE professor may have been unwise
in asking reporters to hold the pencl'
and not make public what he was abouf
TO say. and in then naming himself as
his authority; otherwise his remarks
about the Declaration of Independence
correspond to those upon page Is OF his
book, The Americans The temptation
was too great for an American news
paper representative, and the words
spoken in confidence were made the
head lines for d sensation with some
elaboration. perhaps suggested and err
couraged by one or two speakers. who
seemed to contrue the professors re-
marks as an attack upon American in
stitutions. With deep respect, l am.
very truly yours.

end has instituted the suit in the high
federal court for annulment of cGc-
tract.
Blamed for Revolution.
This case has been pending since last
July and the responsibility for delay
is put upon the asphalt people, because
of their legal appeals. From the Castro
standpoint the syndicate has treated
Venezuela badly and the annulment pro-
ceedings are only the just deserts of the
trusts acts against The republic.
Further than this breach of contract
Castro has Instituted suit IN the court
of first instance, claiming damages of
S11,000,000 from the trust for -instigating,
organizing, and maintaining the reyolu-
ton of Mansuel A. Matos." The Vene-
zuelan government claims t has strong
evidence that the trust was back of that
revolution in an endeaVOr to break its
existing contract
Castro Not Absent.
The recent report that Castro sudden
~ left Caracas, which was taken As an
insult to this country, is now denied
absolutely. It is asserted he did not
so away at all, not even to Los TeQues,
a health resort, where he maintains
house. about an hours ride from the
capital.
Other such reports are specifically de-
MED In the unofficial advices. The eXpla-
nation given of them is that they all
emanate from Willemsted, Curacao, or
Port of Spain. Trinidad, where Castro's
revolutionary opponents make their
headquarters. Ii is said every other
claim has been settled except the per-

req, who claims $4,000 damages for hav-
