Mr.. Volk has not lost sight of the

HOUSE TO HAVE SAY
IN PANAMA AFFAIRS
Demand May Be Made for Explanation of Plans They
Were Prepared by Wallace Before He
Resigned.

In the minds OF the men who are
likely TO have an influential part In
shaping legislation, there is "a pretty
definite program about Isthmian canal
legislation already formed. These men
include not only the members or the
Senate Committee on Canals. but also
al least those Of the House Committee
on Interstate and Foreign Commerce.
The Senate committee is not the
only body that has power 10 start a
canal investigation. The House body
NAV vet want one OF its own. and one
of the subjects that the House COM
mittee is threatening TO take up is the
relation Of John f. Wallace TO the
canal enterprise.
Wallace Prepared Plans.
The story goes that Mr.. Wallace,
when he determined to resign, last
summer, as chief engineer of the canal
prepared a detailed exposition Of his
views about the status or canal work
the prospects Of its future, the type OF
canal that should be built. and the plan
that ought 20 be followed in building
il.
Then came the trouble between Mr.
Wallace and the Secretary of War. who
accused Mr.. Wallace OF deserting the
great undertaking for mere pelf." As
a result, Mr.. Wallace, il is said. de-
cided that he would not worry himself
about exploiting his ideas OF canal
work unless he was authoritatively
called upon to do so.
Recently there has been report that
some OF Mr. Wallace's friends. notably
representative Mann of Chicago, who
* close intimate of the former chief
engineer. were desirOus that opportun-
ity be given for proper public ex-
p,OitatiOn of Mr.. Wallace's Views.
II develops that while the Senate
committee is just now holding the
centsr Of the stage the House commit
tee has by no means lost interest in
the canal question. In fact 1t was said
by a leading member of that body that
if the Senate committee does not cali
on MIR Wallace IL is more than likely
the House committee viii do so: and
Furthermore, that the House members
have some reform ideas Of their own.
