D. m. Colon is Az miles from
Panama City on the west end OF
the canal.
We received orders there to re-

of the panama canal, whose office
is in Panama City. transportation

Panama City over the Panama
railroad, the oldest standard gauge
railroad in the world. On report

back over the Panama railroad

this place, Culebra. We were met
at the "box car" depot by Mr..
Turner, general manager, and as

We were sent out to work We'd
nesday, Feb. 18th. The work is
not bad at all. There are five
steam shovels and nine locomotives
working at present. We have three
classes Of engines-Rogers, Porter,
and Hinkley. The most disagree
able part of,our work is we have to
put up with native tiremen and
brakemen, and they don't know
any more about railroading than
one of these wild monkeys. Each
crew has a white conductor and
engineer. The work is merely
that of a work train; we "spot" the
empties at the steam shovel, and
when they are loaded we take them
out on the dump and there they
are unloaded. 1t is impossible to
get men down here, and at the rate
they are working now it will be
many years before the canal is
finished.
Culebra is the highest point on
the canal. II is a good sized
aud is nearly all solid
rock.
The climate at present is very !
fine; a nice breeze in day time, but
cold and damp at night. We have
to wrap up good in blankets 10

about April 1st and lasts nine

Butte, Mont, Dec. 5.-Traffic was
temporarily suspended and a squad OF
police reserves was called out to pre-
vent a riot when two department
stores began dumping cases of gloves
into the street after several hours OF
vigorous Price cutting. Several Wo

Ten minutes later ten statesmen car

tators to help themselves.

HUNDRED THOUSAND IN LINE.
Big Parade Of Jews Occurs in New
~ York CITY.

81 >" York City.
New York, Dec. 5.-One hundred
thousand Jews, each wearing band
of crepe on the left arm, marched i'm
der myriad Of black banners through
the principal streets OF the Fast Side
during the day, accompanied by bands
playing dirges in memory of the Jews
massacred in Russia. Hundreds OF
women and children, grouped IN sing
Ing bands, were scattered throughout
tle long parade. Immediately follow
ing the police, who headed the process
sion, came several hundred boy syna>
gogue singers chanting a dirge. In
the long procession, which wound
through the narrow East Side streets
behind these boys, there were LA Ia.
Dor, socialistic and Russian revolution
ary organizations. One Gnall band Of.
men, women and t!li,dT.,n, at whose
approach nearly cyery aead among.
the spectators was barred, were sur
vivors of the massacres.
Mingled everywhere with the hun
dreds of black flags, which made al
most canopy over the paraders, was
the Stars and Strires and the flag OF
Zion-a six-pointed blue star on a
white field. From shop doors and
tenement house windows which over
looked the procession flew thousands
of crepe streamers.
One of the most impressive features
of the parade was the march across
Williamsburg bridge of 10000 Jews
from Brooklyn AS they crossed the
great center span Of the bridge their
black flags could be seen and the sad
music Heard far up and down the East
river
The procession marched to the
plaza in Union square. where it re-
solved itself into mass meeting to
formulate resolutions.

heavy penalty shouId be exacted from
any corporation which fails to respect
all order of the commission. I regard
this power to establish a maximum
rate as being essential to any scheme
of real reform in the matter of railway
regulation.
1t is worth while considering whether
1t would not be wise to confer on the
government the right Of civil action
against the beneficiary of rebate for
TT least twice the value Of the rebate.
This would help stop what is really
blackmail Elevator allowances should
be stopped, for they have now grown
to such an extent that they are demor-
alizing and are used as rebates.
- Private Car Lines.
All private car lines, industrial roads
refrigerator charges and the like
should be expressly put under the SUI
pervision Of the interstate commerce
commission or some similar body so
far as rates and agreements practical
ly affecting rates are concerned. A re-
bate in icing charges or in mileage or in
q division of the rate for refrgerating
charges is just as pernicious as a re-
bate in any other way.
There should be publicity of the ac-
counts of common carriers. Only in
this way can violations or evasiOns Of

DEMANDS A
SQUARE DEAL
Presidents Message a Plea For Coopera. !.
tion Of All Classes In
Correcting Evils.

Washington, Dec. 5. - President
Rooseveit's 8 message to Congress was
delivered at noon today. The Presi-
dent says:
Corporations.
l am in no sense hostile to corpora
tions. This is an age of combination,
and any effort to prevent all combina-
tion will be not only useless, but in the
end vicious because of the contempt
for law which the failure to enforce
law inevitably produces. The corpora
ton has come to stay, just as the
trades union has come to stay. Each
can do and has done great good. Each
should be favored so long as it does
good But each should be sharply
checked where it acts against law and
justice.
Experience has shown conclusively
that it is useless to try to get any ade-
quate regulation and supervision of
these great corporations by state ac-
ton. Such. regulation and supervision
can only be effectively exercised by
sovereign whose jurisdiction is cock
tensive with the field work of the cor
porations-that is, by the national gov
ernment. I believe that this regulation
and supervision can be obtained by the
enactment of law by the congress. If
this proves impossible, it will certainly
be necessary ultimately to confer in
fullest form such power upon the ma
tional government by affirmative ac-
ment of the constitution.
The laws of the congress and of the
several states hitherto, as passed upon
by the courts, have resulted more often
in showing that the states have no
power in the matter than that the ma
tional government has power; so that
there at present exists very unfortu-
nate condition of things, under which
! these great corporations doing an III
terstate business occupy the position of
subjects without a sovereign, neither
! any state government nor the national
government having effective control
| over them. Our steady aim should be
by legislation, cautiously and carefully
| undertaken, but resoluteiy perseverei
in, to assert the sovereignty of the ma
tional government by affirmative &C
ton. ...
This is only in form an innovation
In substance it is merely q restoration
for from the earliest time such regula
ton of industrial activities has beer
recognized in the action of the law
making bodies, and all that propos.
J Is to meet the changed conditions il
=! such manner as will prevent the com
naonwealth abdicating the power it ha;
always possessed, not only in this coun
try, but also ia England before ant
since this country became separate
nation

Railroad Rate LeEislation.

AS | said in my message Of Dec. &
need so far as legislation is concerned
is the enactment into law Of some
scheme to secure to the agents of the
government such supervision and regu-
lation Of the rates charged by the rail-
roads Of the country engaged in inter-
state traffic as shall! summarly and eff
fectively prevent the imposition of un-
just or unreasonable rates 1t must
include putting a complete stop to re-
bates in every shape and form. This
power to regulate rates, like all similar
powers over the business world, should
be exercised with modera ton, caution
and self restraint, but it should exist,
SO that it can be effectively exercised
when the need arises.
In my judgment, the most important
provision which such law should con-
tain is that comforting upon some COM
petent administrative body the power
to decide upon the case being brought
before it whether given rate pre-
scribed by a railroad is reasonable and
just, and If it is found to be unreason-
able and unjust then, after full inyesti-
CATION Of the complaint, to prescribe
the limit of rate beyond which it shall
not be lawful to go-the maximum
reasonable rate, as it is commonly call
ed-tlis decision to go into effect with
in 4 reasonable time and to obtain
from thence onward, subject to review
by the courts.
1t sometimes happens at present, not
that a rate is too high, but that fa-
vored shipper is given too low a rate.
In such case the commission would
have the right to fix this already estab-
lished minimum rate as the maximum,
and it would need only one or two such
decisions by the commission to cure
railroad companies of the practice of
giving improper minimum rates.. call
your attention to the fact that my pro-
posal is not to give the commission
power to initiate or originate rates gen.
orally, but to regulate rate already
fixed or originated by the roads upon
