LABOR FOB THE CANAL.
Bidders Will Be Required to Make
a Large Deposit.

Scores of applications for information
concerning the proposed contract for $500
Chinese laborers have already reached the
isthmian canal commission, and indications
are that hundreds of persons are planning
to make bids for this contract in the hope
of realizing a small fortune from 1t, as
several bidders did on the recent issue of
Panama canal bonds. But prospective bid.
ders without extensive financial backing
will be much disappointed when the specifi-
cations for furnishing the Chinese are made
public It will be required by the commits
sion that q large certified check shall &C
company each bid. The amount Of this
check will probably not be less than $780,
COO and bids not accompanied by such a
guarantee of good faith win not be con-
sidered.
Advertisements for proposals to supply
the Chinese laborers must be published for
thirty days, and consequently no proposals
will be opened before September Is at the
earliest. Several months will be required
to get the Chinese to this country after the
contract has been awarded. Consequently
the commissioners do not expect to have
the Chinese labor on the isthmus before
January !. 1907.

FOR BETTER FACILITIES.
School Trustees Of Alexandra County
to Consider Problem. $50

The school trustees Of Alexandria county
have been directed to meet at the court house.
tomorrow at 10 O'Clock to discuss the ques-
ton Of the erection of a new school house
as well as to secure temporary quarters for.
a school to Begin next month, for the
younger children of Fort MyerJ Heights.
Clarendon. Rocky Hill and Rosslyn! For a
permanent building there is talk OF an issue:
Of bonds. and that project will come up at
the meeting of the trustees. 1t has been
proposed also to take the present court
house for school and erect a new edifice
for court purposes at Rosslyn, as being
more conveniently reached from all parts
of the county, and this will probably come
IN for a share of consideration.
Temporary quarters for the school will
be found in some rented building if a suit
able place can be had, It has been pro-
posed that the chapel near Buena Vista
hill be used for the purpose, but the au
thorities of the church which controls the
place have so far been unwilling to put
the house to this use. Mr.. B. M. David
son, the Fort Myer Heights trustee. has
been hunting place for the school for
several weeks, but up to the present time
has found no building that could be used
for the purpose. 1t is stated that there is
not house of any kind for rent within the
limits where the school could be located.
School Commissioner James e. Clements
expects to be present at the meeting to-
morrow and promises to do all in his
power to solve the problem.
High School pupils in the section named
have been concerned ever since the close
of schools in June over a rumor that the
District law had been changed so that nom
residents attendant upon Washington
schools must pay tuition. regardless of en-
ployment of their parents in Washington.
The secretary of the Washington board
stated today that no such change had been
made by anybody having authority.

WOULD TAKE MORE CLERKS.
Application Of New Law to Commits
sary Sales Stores.

An opinion Of the Attorney General has
been asked by the War Department as to
the application OF section of the sundry
civil bill in the purchase and handling of
supplies known as "sales stores for the
commissary department of the army. This
section requires detailed report to be
made, within thirty days after the end of
the fiscal year of all moneys received from
any source whatever arising from the sale
of public property The eommissary- de-
partment transacts q business amounting
to nearly $3.0OO.0OO a year.at the Commits
sary stores throughout the country. The
money to carry on this business is bor-
rowed from the regular annual appro-
priation and Is returned to. that fund from
time to time. 1t would require an elab-
crate set of books and great many clerks
to keep an account of this business in
such shape that a detailed statement could
be made OF every transaction The sale of
tooth brush would. require the same de-
tall as a transaction involving hundreds
Of thousands of dollars.
1t will be necessary either to exempt the
commissary department from the applica
ton of section or to largely increase the
appropriation and clerical force in order to
comply with the act. The department has
called the attention Of the Department of
Justice to certain provisions Of law relat-
ing to commssary supplies which it is be-
lieved would exempt that department from
the section which would cause so much
trouble.

PAYING TELLER HELD
ANOTHER CASE OF EMBEzzLE-
MENT OF BANK FUNDS.

Alexander r. Chisolm. paying teller OF
the First National Bank was arrested at
Birmingham. Ala, yesterday charged with
the embezzlement of s97 900 of the bank 8
funds. He was held by United States Com
missioner r. B. Watson. and last night was
in the custody of the federal officers at a
hotel.
During the afternoon w. L. Sims and c.
NJ. Hays, manager and assistant manager
Of one of the chief stock cotton brokerage
houses in Birmingham, were arrested,
charged with aiding and abetting the en-
bezzlement of national bank funds. They
were released this evening on bonds.
The shortage at the First National Bank
was discovered while Chisolm was on va
cation. The bank has a large reserve fund
on hand and it was from this that the
amount was taken. There was no regular
time for counting the cash in the reserve
fund. which accounts for the fact that the
shortage was not discovered sooner. 1t was
decided to wait until Chisolm returned.
When he stepped from a.. train yesterday
morning he was confronted by the federal
officers and several directors of the bank
He later made full confession.
W. P. G. Harding, president, said that
the bank would not lose the whole amount.
and that the loss would not affect the inst,
tuition. The bank has a capital Of 1,OoG,OOO
and a surplus of 100000.
Recovered $1,000 in Suit Case.
When Chisolm was arrested $1,000 was
taken from his suit case. He was bonded
for $4,000. The difference. $4,000. between
these amounts and the shortage has al
ready been taken from the undivided prof
it's account of the bank and charged to
profit and loss.
Young Chisom was one of the most popu-
lar young men socially and personally in
Birmingham. 1t is said that nearly all the
money embezzled by him was used in specu-
lation in cotton futures, and that his losses
have extended over a period of several
months. 1t is said that he traded under an
assumed name, and made all his payments
for margins In cash.

GATHERING TORTOISE SHELL.
It is Obtained From the Hawks Bill
Turtle in the Caribbean Sea.

While there are immense quantities of
tortoise shell used annually in civilization,
there is not much generally known about
the real methods of gathering 1t. large
amount of it comes from the Caribbean sea
and an interesting report on the industry
has recently been made by Consul Kellogg
Of Colon. He says that last year the total
amount Of shell shipped from his consular
district was 10000 pounds and that Of this
5000. valued at $4,000, came from Colon
direct. 5000 pounds of 1t going to New York
and the rest to Europe. The hawk's-bill
turtle, from which the she'll is obtained
feeds on crabs. fish and the like and its
meat is not valued as is that of the herbiv-
orous turtles. The turtles run from IL
feet to feet long and weigh as much as
$50 pounds. The average weight of the
shell is 6 to Z pounds and the price II
brings is from So to Sc a pound. the market
f1uctuating. Some of the shell is sent to
Colon. but much of 1t is traded by the In
dams to coasting schooners and shipped to
New York.
The civilized method Of preparing the
shell is to kill and clean the turtle. after
1t is caught either on the beach or in nets
in the water. But the Indians do not kill
them at once, but boil them alive and then
throw them back into the sea. This is
hard on the turtle, but 1t is said to make
the shell come of easily.

MUST HAVE PASSPORTS.
Spain is Enforcing the Regulation
Against Foreigners.

Since the recent attack upon the life of
King Alfonso of Spain strict measures have
been instituted to establish the nationality
of foreigners visiting that country. znd the
American vice consul at Madrid. Maddin
Summers, has written letter to the State
Department calling attention to the fact
that Americans intending to travel in Spain
should provide themselves with passports.
Mr.. Summers received communication
from the civil governor at Madrid short
time ago asking that all Americans resid-
ing in that city present themselves at the
consulate and obtain certificate as to their
nationality. In some cases the Americans
had passports, but many had no documents
to prove their nationality. and it was with
much difficulty that the status of such per-
sons was established.
Formerly it was held that all foreigners
should have passports. but this was theoret-
ical, and the regulation was not generally
applied to persons residing in one place
for a period of less than a week. Now,
however. the regulation will be strictly ad-
hered to, according to Mr.. Summers, and
travellers must be prepared to meet it.
