WALLACE WANTED
TOO MUCH LIME
Asked Department Here for
$4,000 Tons.
"RlDlCUl0UST WAS ANSWER
Engineer Became Angry - Took the
Other Job-Wished to Disinfect

FROM reliable sources comes the in
formation that Engineer John F. Wal
lace broke his contract 10 build the
Panama canal only after the most i'm
portant sanitary requisi,ion he had made
mad been blue-penciled by the War De-
partnent. 1t is again asserted that Mr.
Wallace will tell his side OF the story
In coming number of an engineering
magazine.
The absurd thing in the story is that
the reQuisition which was dishonored
called for $500 tons OF chloride of lime.
Mr. Wallace's contract. it is well
known. was for five years with the
option OF renewing IT up to the compile
ton of the canal, and with the under
standing that every demand b., him be.
honored by the War Department 1t
was his intention TO take his family
10 the isthmus and make his home there
until his work was done. EVERYTHING
ne did up TO the beginning of the sum-
mer shows that he intended to keen

Unforeseen. and vexatious. If small. re-
straints had been placed upon him.
He complained that his orders were
not promptly filed and that he was
Obliged TO contract for some supplies
that he preferred 10 order direct from
people whom he knew could and would

Sanitary Campaign
Although work was done in the
Cuiebra cut all the time the efforts of
the chief engineer from early in Feb
ruary had been directed largely 70 meet
Ing the unfayorable sanitary conditions.
thorough canvass was made OF the
isthmus. and especially of the canal
zone, by the staff of the surgeon in
charge. and a report on the subject was
niade to Mr.. Wallace
The conditions We're a whole lot worse
than anyone had imagined them, and
the medical staff recommended innme-
diate and thorough sanitation The
chief Item In their recommendation was
Tor 5000 tons of chloride of lime. suf-
ficient TO disinfect the whole canal
zone. clean the swamps of mosquitoes.
and thoroughly scour Panama and
Colon.
Acting on the advice of his sanitary
expert. MIR. Wallace sent In his requisI- |
ton The War Department answered |
* by sending 500 pounds of disinfectant |
70 the isthmus. with the information |
that the cail for tons OF disinfectant |
was ridiculous
Another conference was held The 4
sanitary experts said that the country \
could not be made sanitary and nit for 1
haoitaton BY northern people unless |
oisinfectants were used generously. and |
that the cheapest effective antiseptic |
they knew of was chloride of lime
Wallace Incensed.
Immediately Mr.. Wallace decided to
leave the isthmus. not only because he
was incenscd at the treatment accorded
his recuisi,ion. but because il became
apparent to him at once that he could
not be with his family while engaged in
directing the canal work
The position which he later accepted
had already been rendered him, and he
reached an agreement speedily. He did
this without so much as intimating 10

Secretary Taft that he was displeased
and intended TO give up the canal work
Indeed. Mr.. Wallace left Panama with
the intention OF signing the formal con-
: tract which was to make him president
/ OF mammoth construction company.
1t was Well understood on the is:hmus
, when the chief engineer left there that
ne did not expect TO return. IL was not
so much the breaking of his contract
that made Secretary Taft give him an
undisnified and public scolding. as it
was that he entered into a new contract
before having discharged himself of the
old
How much of all this will be taken
up by Mr.. Wallace in his pubic state-
menl is not known At present he is
busy organizing the executive staff of
the construction company OF which he
is head, which will have unlimited capi-
tai and will build both for itself and
FOR other companies street car systems
in all parts of the world. His salary is
least s25, 900 more
Now Conceded.
Assuming that IL is true that the i'm
mediate cause of Mr. Wallace leaving
his Pans...ss work was the refusal of the
War Department to honor a requisition
Tor sanitary supplies. il is interesting
10 note that the work he had intended
TO do is now considered absolutely neces-
sary before the beginning can be made
on the canal Job.
everyone who goes to the isthmus Is
more impressed with the seupendous
contract the United States has under
taken from the sanitary point of view
than he is from the engineering stand
point
1t Is easy to dig a ditch. no matter
how broad and deep: but it is difficult
10 clean out of a rugged and tropical
country the filth that has been accumu-
lating for centuries
The Panama problem is one of sani-
tation. and the Government can shake
hands with itself If IT doesn't have 10
use more than 5000 tons or chloride OF
Srne before the problem has been solved.

WENT DOWN A
THIRD TINE
GAME AT TRACTION PARK WAS
AN EASY VICTORY FOR THE )
LOCAL TEAM YES. : DAY.

Before a nice crowd at Traction
Park yesterday the Shaner A. c., of
Pittsharg. went down before the locals
for the third consecutive time, by
score of II to 8. II was bum exhibit.
zion by the visitors, who besides max
ing six misplays, seemed to be UP In
the air at all times and did not know
what TO do with the ball when golden
opportunities were presented. On
one occasion when three mn were on
the base paths and no one out,
shaner infieider picked mp an easy
grounder and not knowing where to
send 1T, held the ball with the result,
that all were safe and runner scored.
Buck Jackson was slated to do the
slab duty but for some reason was not
In uniform and Lefty jackson went in.
He had pitched Sunday and did not
exert himself after the first inning
with the result that he was hit pretty
freely, eleven safe ones in all. He.
kert them well scattered except in the
eighth when four hits and an error
netted the visitors three runs. An I'm
fortunate accident occurred in the
lsscond. While swartiing was at hat
a fast inshoot caught him on the left
elbow severely injuring that member
and causing his retirement from the
game. 1t was at first thought. that
the arm was broken as he could not
raise it but an examination by. pr.
Hustead Brownfield proved thats but
a bad bruise was sustained. When the
team left this morning he thought he
would be able to play to-day against
Washington. After the accident
snedden went TO short and camp5ell
to third. Mulhern, who pitched the
Sunday game for the visitors, went In
yesterday and pitched very good
game. His good showing was because
of the fact that after the third inning
and the game was safe the locals did hot
exert themselves. The feature In that
inning was Lucther's three sacker
with the bases full at his second time
up in that round. 1t was stiff line
drive which rolled nearly to the mid
die field fence. The visitors would
never have scored had not a run been
slipped over by them in the first and
after one was in the locals did not care
II they did make a few. The very
first man up in the first hit high fy
TO right which Lucther would have
caught had he not hit a high spot
and tumbled all over that portion of
the field. 1t went for three bases and
later netted run.
