FOR SEA LEVEL N
Reasons Given by Engineer Wallace for
It's Advocacy.

HSASOU6 0lVSu by engineer 6liaCe TOR
It's Advocacy.
Washington. March 22.-John f. Wal
lace. former chief engineer of the PAN
anna canal commission, in a statement
before the senate committee on inter-
oceanic canals. today advocated al ap-
proxfmately straight, sea level canal of
ample width and depth as the best
type.
He urged that any other plan that
places restrictions upon the probable
permanency of the canal itself, as we'll
as upon speed and size and number of
vessels passing through it, must rem
der the canal far less valuable; tina
the only deterrent factors in his con-
nection are the relative time and cost,
and that in approaching the discus
sion of the question of how much
money h American people supposedly
are willing to invest in the canal, and
how much time they are willing to wait
for its proper accomplishment, should
be considered.
He said, Judged by capitalization and
dividends now paid upon the stock of
the Suez canal, it's apparent rates
charged for transit through it are ex-
c~essive, and that thus a material saw
ing would be offered by the
Panama route.
assuming that the present tonnage
through h Suez canal of say
1O,OOO,OOO tons per year would pass
through the Panama canal even at
a dollar a ton there would be-"
he said IAN approximate income of
$40, OOO, 900 which is sufficient to justify
an expenditure of $500. 600, 000."
The latter figure he deemed ample to
construct a sea level canal. AS to the
additional time involved, Wallace pre-
dicted that upon a basis "of reasonable
energy, and use Of proper business
methods Of administration. a sea level
canal can be fully completed in ten, OF
to be safe, say twelve years, and a lock
canal, ever only sixty feet above the
sea level would require only three yea
less"
He reiterated that Increased eff.
cheney could be secured if the work
were handled by a single contracting
firm, unhampered by government meth
DDS, II with every incentive to early
completion with possibly utilization Of
two shifts instead of n shift of ter
hours.

by Steel Corporation.

Sioux Falls, S. D., March 22.-Evi-
dence is accommodating that the unhappy
wife of w. Ellis Corey, president of the
United States Steel corporation. is not
IN Sioux Falls at all. The who
arrived On the day Mrs. Corey was ad-
vertised by some eastern newspapers to
come, gave the name of Mrs. "A. G.
Kellogg of New York, and indications
are that she gave her real name.
Information from an unqueStionable
source is that Mrs. Corey has never
been here. Mrs. Kellogg, who is but
26 years of age, is much younger than
Mrs. Corey, and photographs of the two
women do not resemble each other
closely, and the pictures of their re-
Mrs. Kellogg has not taken any action

Riverside, Cal, March 22.-Andrew
Carnegie is conducting the negotiations
for the reconciliation of Mr.. and Mrs.

Maybelle Gilman. Corey is a protege
Of the overload of the steel industry.

Corey to Retire.
Pittsburg. March 22.-That William
E. Corey is to retire from the head of
the United States Steel corporation
was the persistent talk about Its Offices
today. His most active enemies at
present are the big men in the Pitts
burg Coal company, the heads Of
which are prominent factors in the
steel company.
Stock books of the corporation have
been closed for the April meeting, and
1t is said the cards rave been stacked
against Corey. It has always been

or a sliding price, based on the cost
of mining. This is incorrect. The
price is fixed, n Corey's demand up
on the coal company to fulfill its con-
tract, strike or no strike, would h;ye
meant an immense loss to the coal
company.
f. L. Robbins and others interested
in The coal company did not recognize
the right OF Mr.. Corey to make such a
demand when arrangements had vir-
tually been made for a compromise
with the miners
Miners of this district would have
been willing to continue the present
scale, put Corey's demand put them in
a different frame Of mind. Now the
coal company is after the scalp of
Corey, and 1t Is said he will be dropped
from the head of the steel
in the annual meeting.

But the undertakers Are Said to Be IL
a combine-union Men
Resent II.

Chicago, March 22.-The Chicago
Federation Of Labor has declared wal
on the Chicago Undertakers associa-
ton, branding h body as "a trust Of
ton of hostilities was made at a meet
ing of h central labor body.
After a lengthy discussion of the
subject these conclusions were ar
rived at by the delegates to the meet
ing:
No union man shall purchase a non-
union casket, or assist in paying for a
~non-union casket, for a member of his
family or a friend.
No union man shall act as pa%llbearer
at a funeral where a non-uaion casket
is used.
When the services OF an undertaken
are needed by a friend Of a union man.
1t Is his duty as a trades unionist to
tell h members of the bereaved fam
lily how to ecure a union casket.
An investigation of the methods Of
acting and prices charged by the mem
ber;s OF the Chicago Undertakers' as
ISOLATION shall be made at once and
ways and means OF suppressing the
trust found.
The subject came up at the meeting
when a communication from the wood
workers union was read. which con-
tanned a complaint because of the sup
posed discrimination of the undertake
ers against union-made caskets. A
price list was attached, showing that
union caskets ranged in price from
SIS to $40. undertakers, according to
the same information, charge anything
from $50 to $500 for the same casket.
No reason why the undertakers dis
criminate against the union men was
set forth. but it was limited hat it was
because. the workers had suggested a
union of professional ~pallbearers about
two years ago.

yesterday morning and spent the day
