 PANAMA CANAL New Reason Given for ResIg-
 nation of Wallace BOHIO DAM IMPRACTICABLE 
Borinqs Show No Solid Foundation for Such Gigantic Structure as Is Contemplated for the
 chaeres River.

Washington, August .-(Special)-An interesting statement concerning the resig- nation of Chief Engineer John F. Wal lace from the Panama canal service has been given out on the authority of a brother of MT. Wallace, who lives at Ireton la, and is a minister.
 The lately retired engineer has never published any definite statement of the reasons back of resignation, except the very brief and formal one made when he resigned There were endless rumors that he was dissatisfied with the management of the commission, that he was not permitted to exercise as full control in the zone as he wished, and that he was discouraged about the sanitary situation. Mr. Wallace's brother in the west is now quoted as declaring that the chief engi- neer left his position because he was discouraged over the poor prospect of getting the canal built, disheartened at the seeming certainty that there would be tremendous loss of life incident to the work and was withal in bad health himself.
 Borings Reveal Situation.
 
 An employe of the canal commission, who recently left the scene, declares that In official quarters there the most serious view is taken of revolutions made by some deep borings along the Charges river. It is said that the French engi- neers reported very different results from those found by the Americans. For e&- ample, at the site erected for the con- struction of the great Bohio dam, 1t Is alleged borings have failed to locate any rock stratum, yet the Frenchmen reported that their borings had shown such foun- dation at a practicable depth.
 Rock in Form of Boulders.
 The American borings are said to have found rock but in the form of boulders mixed with rubble sand and decomposed vegetable masses the whole making a soil in which construction of founda- ton for such structure as the dam would be impossible. This condition, ac- eording to this employe has been ex- plotted very little, but the people in charge of affairs in the one are deeply concerned about 1t. Senator Morgan and other op- ponents of the Panama route repeatedly made these charges concerning the al- legged doctoring of the boring reports but they were assumed to be based rather on determined antagonism to the project than on accurate information. It Is now said that the American engineers have proved that the senator's charges were well founded.

A Salisbury Episode

The following is taken from a re-
cent issue Of a Philadelphia daily and
will be of interest to our MorrisvilIe
readers, as the Salisbury family were
former residents here and left Morris =
vile three or four years ago.
The unfortunate elimination OF
one love-at- st-sight-romance was
revealed yesterday by the Institution
OF proceedings TO have the marriage
OF Miss Lillian Loleta Salisbury ana
Frederick Stanley Racener annulled
by the courts.
The young woman, who is only
eighteen years old and very pretty,
is the daughter Of j. G. Salisbury, a
wealthy insurance broker of Cam
bridge, Macs. Racener, who is also,
below the legal age limit, is a student
at Princeton University. and son OF
a rich quarry owner in EAst0n, Pa.
The youthful pair met aU a foot
ball game in Cambridge last fall and
it was case of love at first sight.
After the game Miss Salisbury re-
turned to school at Fairhhl, Mass,
and her adoring swain went back to
the classic shades OF old Nassau. But
the pOstman was kept very busy.
The fame of thin love was vigorous
ly famed until in the last week OF
February, Miss Salisbury ran away
from school Racener slipped away
from Princeton. The couple met in
New York and were married in the
Little Church Around the Corner.
They came to this city soon after
the ceremony and took up their resi-
dence at The Malquito Apartment
House, 11S S. 18th st.
For about two weeks the honey
moon shOne in all its prOverbial
glory, and then came disiliuNiOnment.
The young husband went home and
the girl bride stayed 10 PbiladelDhia.
I'VE We're not suited for each other
in any way, said the young bride to-
day, $50 we decided to separate; Stan
ley went back to college and | am
going next week TO jOin my mother
In Europe. My family were sO'angry
that they were on the point OF dis
owning me, hut tAther t"Allv relent-
ed ana wrote me that | should Join
my mother in Europe: 1t was a crazy
thing for us to do, but guess its all
in life time. Father will get the
court to anDuI the marriage, and
that will finish my little romance. 3"
1t is hardly necessary to add that
either the reporter or his informant
got some OF the facts in the above
slightly mixed. Those points will be
apparent to their old acquaintances.
1t is understood here that Mrs. Sails
bury AID Lillian have been working
in ii experimentation ia Philadelphia
tor some time. The above article was

In last weeks paper there appeared a letter
from our friends over in Hyde Park saying
Peoples Academy had forfeited a game of
Basket Ball. What game did we forfeit Has
l.. G. A. been arranging games for p. Az We
did not schedule game to be played at
HYDE Park March 3 lst. We were challenged
to play games, one at Hyde Park and one at
MorrIsvle and contrary to the l.. G. AS. re.
port this challenge was not acCepted but,
however, we finally decided TO play at Nor
risville, March 24th There was also some
talk about playing n Hyde Park, hut no de-
cisiOn was reached Now if our l.. {. A. friends
can produce the letter where we said that we
would play them at Hyde Park March, 3lst,
we will gladly forfeit tnat game which they
claim, but under no other circumstances will
we for teit the game. The l.. c. A. has chal-
enged us to play the rubber game. What is
this game to decide Is it to be an exhibit
tion game to show their skill at the art =?
But anyway we did not accept the challenge
We have defeated them two games out of
three and we do claim the championship over
them, also of any prep" school in the state
st. Johushury and Burlington schools being
barred Out OF ten games we have played
this season one was lost and that was to
l.. G. A., through their well known trough
house" We admit that we have great fear
and timidatiOn tor l.. G. A. Why, our fear is
so great that when l.. G. A., is mentioned not
only do the 7. A. students tremble but also
the whole school building l. &, A. should
learn that the public, generally, admire an
athlete, who can take good square deleat,

DECLARES WHEAT
DRAWBACK JUST
Philadelphia Press, Entirely Dis
interested, Says Senate Made
a Mistake.
By w. w. Jermane.

Washington, Feb. 17.-The Philadel-
phia Press, edited by Charles Emory
Smith, former postmaster general, has
an editorial discussing the senate's &C
mixed wheat from the privileges Of the
drawback section OF the Dingley law.
The Press viewpis entirely disinter-
ested,, for none Of tiiias. constituents has
any direct concern; ;fssth the question
now uppermost in the minds Of north
western mlllers and Wheata growers. 1t
says in part, 49, .~...- e.. --.-
Under the attorney generals construc-
ton of the law wheat can be imported
and manufactured into flour for export
and a rebate allowed of 80 per cent Of the
duty. The law applies to tin plate and
many other things used in manufacturing
goods for export = :~~,
There is no good reason why wheat
should be on different basis in this mat
ter from other products.
Wheat is now sold in the United States
at 20 cents bushel in excess of the
price in Canada. That is all right, as it
shows the benefit of the protective tariff,
which applies to the things the farmer has
to purchase as well as to what he has
for sale.
But American milers cannot pay that
much for wheat and produce flour from
| it with profit for export The Canadians
can manufacture wheat at no greater cost
than Americans. If they can get the wheat
at 20 cents less a bushel, they must con-
| troll the foreign flour market in connec-
ton with other foreign millers equally
| favored
! U&der the circumstances, there appears
! to be no sound reason why the drawback
should not be allowed on such wheat
when manufactured into -four for export
| 1t gives employment to a large number OF
Americans in mills and on transportation
! lines. Domestic wheat is mixed with the
foreign article fer producing this -four
| for export, which is all to the benefit oil
| the farmers. If the drawback is not
allowed, the expectation of -four will be
greatly reduced and this country will
lose much as a result. 1t certainly looks
as tho the senate has made a mistake IL
| the matter.
