salute proclaimed the coming of the
chief magistrate, and at the last bugle
note the Marine Band orchestra, with
out which no White House function is
complete, threw the vibrant power Of
seventy instruments into action and
the stirring strains Of the wedding
march from Tannhauser filed the man
sion.
There was a rustling and swaying Of
the throngs Of guests. all on tiptoe,
and neckss craned toward the north

moment Of supreme expectancy, for the
bride was approaching. Those in direct

FIRST OF A
SERIES OF
MESSAGES

WASHINGTON, Dec. 17-President
Ssosevelt sent to congress today the
first of a series of messages which
will be sent during the week. To
days message is in regard to the Pan
anna canal, and he recommends the
reduction of the canal commission
from seven to one and insists that
one shall be Theodore p Shonts. The
president says:
"A seven-headed commission is a
clumsy executive instrument. We
should have but one commissioner
and he should be permitted to employ
the best engineers in the country as
consulting engineers"
The president then describes his
trip to the isthmus. He investigated
carefully the various phases of the
work and the conditions surrounding
the daily life of the men employed,
and he reaches this conclusion:
"of the success of the enterprise |
am as well convinced as any one can
be of any enterprise that is human.
II is stupendous work that is being
well done. The men are doing some
thing that will benefit the whole
world and which will last for ages to
come"
He thinks the work should be done
in large part by contract, believing
1t combines the maximum of advan-
tage with the minimum of disadvan-
tage. The president pays his re-
spects to the knockers of the enter
prise and says complaints have been
investigated and found to be mali
cious. There must be mistakes, he
says, now and then in building a
giant canal through jungle covered
mountains and swamps while looking
after the sanitary features of tropic
cities and feeding from twenty to
thirty thousand workers. The presi-
dent gives great praise to the com
mission and thinks they have moved
as quickly as prudent. He thinks
minor rascality may occasionally be
uncovered. but that scandal mongers
will find little to really criticise. The
great work, he says, is being kept
absolutely out of politics, and labor
ers are employed of all kinds and
shades.
The American workmen in the Unit
ed States, says the president, can
have little concern in the question
as to whether the rough work on the
isthmus is performed by aliens. In
any event 1t is done by aliens from
one country with black skin or aliens
from another with yellow skin.
The message ends with a tribute to
the French for the amount of good
work they did under difficult circum-
stances.

THE COLD WATER ORDEAL.

Guilt ar Innocence.

| The cold water ordeal was one OF the
most important tests Of guilt or limo
cence a few hundred years ago. IL the

sank. he was innocent. In the twelfth
century some altar vessels were stolen
from the cathedral Of Laon. and the
learned Anselm proposed that child
from each parish and then n child from
each household should be put 10 the
test and 50 on until the guilty one was
found. The proposition raised great
outcry. and the people clamored that
those who had easiest access 10 the
church be the first TO undergo the or
deal.
This looked reasonable enough. So
the bishop ordered the six priests OF
the cathedral TO prepare for the test.
In the meanwhile Anselm thought 90

liTnlnary test. SO he was bound and
placed IN a tub OF water. To his great
satisfaction as well as discomfort he
