PANAMA WAS AROUSED.
Objected to Opening of Ports in the
Canal Zone

How acutely the Panaman government
had been aroused last summer prior to the
visit of Secretary Taft over the opening
of ports in the Panama canal zone is ap-
parent from correspondence made public at
the State Department today. Included in
the correspondence is a note of protest
from the Panaman minister for foreign af-
says:
The republic of Panama has not only
the right to expect common respect but
more especial and deferential treatment
than that which she has received The
treaty of November IS 1903, cannot and
should not serve a pretext for unu-
Sual tendencies; 1T is really a bond of per-
petual union between the two nations
upon which the eyes of the universe are
fixed with the expectation of the great
benefit which the world has every right to
look forward to. Starting, then, with this
same conception, my government cannot
accep. the idea that the opening of the
said ports was in obedience TO the orders
of your eXcellencys government but to
the erroneous Interpretation of the respec-
tive treaty on the part of the authorities
of the canal zone.
Upon the receipt of the protest at the
State Department Mr. Loomis, the acting
Secretary of State, cabled Mr.. Barrett di-
recting him to assure the Panaman gov
ernment that the American government
will do nothing inconsistent with the hon
or and true interest of both republics;
that 1t will assist and uphold Panama in
every proper way and that it will not
adopt at this time any permanent policy
without fully consulting Panama.

WILL MODIFY THE RULE.
Objection to Requiring Fire Drill on
Freight Boats.

William Livingstone of Detroit. Mich,
president of the Lake Carriers Associa-
ton, today called upon Secretary Metcalf
of the Department of Commerce and Labor
relative to the recently corrected rule of
the steamboat inspection service requiring
steamboat lines to observe certain re-
quirementS of the service.
The particular point was a regulation
enforcing fire drills and other features
upon freight vessels. when, it is claimed
by Mr. Livingstone, the regulation was
especially meant to be applied to passenger
vessels and not to freighters. 1t is the
wish of the Lake Carriers Association that
the rule be modified by the department so
IS to relieve the freighterS of the incon-
venience caused by the application of the
rule to that character of vessel well as
to those carrying passengers.
The matter will be called to the attention
of the steamboat inspection service, Mr..
George Uhler. inspector general, who WAS
present at the interview, agreed with the
Secretary that it was not the intention
wish of the department to impose any
regulat tions that would be difficult of OBJ
servation and cause embarrassment where
it was not intended that they should be
applied.
modification of the regulation will
therefore be made at early date.

TARDY JUSTICE GIVEN.
Reinstatement of a Post Office Clerk
Dismissed on Suspicion.

Justice, although rather tardy, has been
done by the President in the case of S. F.
Scott, jr., clerk in the registry division
of the Kansas City post office.
A letter went today to the postmaster
at Kansas City, Mo-, from the office of the
first assistant postmaster general, ordering
the reinstatement of Scott in his old posi-
ton, if he cared for it, the government do
ing what it could TO repair the wrong done
the man several years ago. The rules of
the civil service We're suspended by direct
order of the President. the time limit Of
eligibility having expired. The story of the
fall and rise of Mr.. Scott is filed with hu-
man interest, showing the fallbility of hu-
wisdom.
S. F. Scott, jr., a son of the former post
master of Kansas City, No, was clerk in
the registry division of the post office at
that place and removed December g.
1901, upon charges that he was guilty of
the loss of a registered package containing
$500. The theft of the money was never
traced to him, but the suspicious of the in
spectorS who were at work on the case
were of such strong foundations, so they
thought, that his removal seemed justified
The department, after four years, is now
in receipt of report from a post office in
spector in which it is shown that one John
A. Fagg, registry clerk in the Kansas
City office at the time of the downfall of
Scott, embezzled this package of $1,000, and
through his efforts suspicion was laid at the
door of his fellow clerk. Scott Fagg has
been arrested, tried and convicted of the
embezzlement.
Mr. Scott, whose father died after the
sons dismissal has never asked for REIN
statement, but the department desires to
do what it can by way of reparation and
therefore asked the civil service commits
sion to take the case to the President so
that special rule might be made to pro-
vide for his reinstatement. The matter was
referred to the President and the executive
order followed.
