PRESIDENT Will

WILL MAKE THE TRIP IN NO.
MEMBER, AND WILL lNVES-
TIGATE CANAL.
While Absent the President Will Not
Visit Alien Territory, the Canal
Zone Being Considered Technically
American SoiI-No Violation of
Constitution.

Westinghouse is stated at the
White House that President Roosevelt
will visit the isthmus of Panama next
November, and that he will remain
there long enough to make a thorough
examination of conditions on the ca
nal strip.
He will be accompanied by Sec
rotary Taft and Chairman Shonts of
the canal commission. 1t is expected
that Chief Engineer Stevens will he
ON the isthmus at the time. The presi-
dent and party will possibly make the
trip to Colon or Cristobal on a war
ship, possibly on a cruiser of the first
class.
While making the trip he will be far
from the boundaries of the United
States, but, contrary to a queer popu-
lar notion, the president in making
the journey will violate no constitu-
tionai or statutory provision, the ca
nal zone being considered technically
American soil.
In going to the isthmus, the vessel
upon which the president travels will
not necessarily approach any land
other than that of the United States
nearer than three miles, and he will
able to return to Washington, there.
fore, without having visited alien ter
ritory.
In view of his expected trip to Pana-
ma, a journey to the Pacific coast has
been abandoned.
The president has also modified his
plans for a trip to the middle west in
the spring of next year. Several
months ago he accepted an invitation
to attend the fiftieth anniversary of
the establishment of the state agricul-
tural college at Lansing, Mich. The
announcement that he would visit
Michigan was followed by invitations
to other states. Mr.. Roosevelt has de.
cided that he will visit Lansing only,
this being the first of the series of in
vitations. That will be in May.

FOR ToRTURING ORPHAN GIRL.
Wife of Prominent Citizen of Illinois
Must Go to Asylum and Then
to the P~enitentiary.

Peoria, Ill.-Mrs. Mary L.. McKin-
ney, wife of one of the most prominent
men of Aledo, ILL.,, must serve a prison
sentence for shocking torture of Stel-
la Grady, an orphan girl whom she Sc
cured from an institution in Chicago.
After II of the most sensational
trials ever held in the circuit court
here, Mrs. Mckinney was found to be
temporarily insane, but she was or
dered sent to an asylum and, as soon
as her temporary insanity passes, she
is to be confined for two years in the
penitentiary.
The case was brought here for sec.
ond trial. Mrs. Mckinney had been
convicted in a p~ervious trial in her
own county, and demanded a change
of venue because of alleged prejudice.
The testimony was revolving. 1t was
shown that some mania impelled Mrs.
Mckinney to inflict horrible ~tortures
upon the homeless girl. Upon the
slightest pretext, or lacking any pre-
text whatever, she would drive az large
toasting fork into the girls shoulders
and thighs. She also beat her with
clubs, ~broomhandles or anything that
came to hand. One particular torture
was to throw the frail girl to the floor
and tear at her thighs with her finger
nails.

lock PLAN FOR
panama CANAL
THE SENATE DEFINES ITS POSI-
TON IN THE GREAT
WORK.
President Pleased That His Ideas
Have Prevailed in the Senate and
House-The Entire Commission
viii Go to the lsthmus to Look
Over the Ground.

Washington-The United States
senate has approved the lock-level ca
nal by a vote Of SO to 81.
The house so voted several days be-
fore.
The sundry civil appropriation bill
carries an appropriation of 6,000,-
900 for canal work during the coming
fiscal year.
The senate defined its position
clearly by adopting the following:
THAT a lock canal be constructed
across the isthmvs of Panama, con
Meeting the waters of the Atlantic and
Pacific oceans, of the general type
proposed by the minority of the board
of consulting engineers created by
order of the president dated June "a,
1905, in pursuance of the act entitled,
An act to provide for the construc-
ton of a canal connecting the waters
of the Atlantic and Pacific oceans, ap-
proved June 28, 1902"
The president expressed gratlfica-
ton at the action of the senate in sup
porting his plan for a lock canal.
Orders will be issued in a few days
to push the work as rapidly as posi-.
BILE. On being advised of the result of
the vote Mr.. Shonts, of the canal com.
mission, called upon Secretary Taft
and began to discuss the plans for
the prosecution of the work. 1t was
decided that the entire commission
should start for the isthmus at an
earlys moment, and that Chief Engi.
neer Stevens should accompany it.
1t Is the purpose to make a thor
ough inspection of the work, which
has reached a point where experts
must determine the lines on which II
is to be continued, and Mr.. Stevens
desires that full approval shall be
had of his own plan before the work
goes further.

AFTER STANDARD OIL.
ATTY.-eEN. MOODY TO BEGIN
CRIMINAL PROSECUTIONS.
Asserted That Part Of the Suits VIII
Be Filed In st. Louis and
Other Western Cities.

Washington-The determination OF
the administration to begin a series
of criminal prosecutions against the
Standard Oil Co. has been formally
announced through the attorney gen.
eral, Mr.. Moody.
While an effort is being made to
confine all information to the formal
statement given out at the department
of justice, it can be safely asserted
that a part of the suits to be filed
within a short time will be filed in
st. Louis, East st. Louis, st. Joseph,
Springfield and Kansas City.
The Illinois cases will deal with
what has become known as the whit,
ing rate since the Garfield report was
made public.
The details Of the government plan
have not been fully worked out as
yet, but it is understood that the most
important cases in the middle west
will originate in Chicago and East St
Louis.
The decision of the administration
to go after the Standard Oil Co. has
been deliberate.
In the cases which the attorney gen.
eral has in view. but which he de-
clines to name in advance of the pros.
ecution, he hopes to obtain a sentence
either of fine or Imprisonment, and
in all instances where the case is Gov.
cred by the statutes he will instruct
district attorneys to press for a jail
sentence.
