ingness to acknowledge that he could be
mistaken have been responsible for
much OF the innuendo and misunder-
standing which have been projected at
my head.
1T was first because / differed with
Mr.. HOrnblower upon the matter of
the former president MIR. Beers that
his enmity was enkindled. When il
became necessary TO retire Mr.. Beers
it was found ne was so strongly in
trenched behind proxies that he could
not be budged. 1t was then that MIR.
Hornblower was paid 5000, ] think, TO
draw up a cast iron agreement cOnferT-
ing a life pension of $4,000 a year
After Mr. Mccall came in he got hun
dreds OF letters from agents all over
the country protesting against the
newspaper notOriety which this pen
sion had stirred up and begging that
the pension be recalled.
The Pension Contract
Mr. Mccall asked Mr. Hornblower
what could be done TO abrogate the pen
sion contract, and was informed it
could not be broken. He then sub
mitted the contract TO Joseph III. Choate
and Frederick r. Coudert, each of whom
sustained Mr.. Hornblower. he asked
my opinion and L told him l did not
consider it worth the paper on which IT
was written. as it was beyond the prov
ince or the trustees 10 confer such
a pension. There was no service to be
rendered for the pension. hence | held
it was void.
In spite OF the violent opposition Of
Mr.. HOrnbiower. I advised that a suit
be brought. and l won. The contract
was declared faulty. and MIR. Horn
blower was mortified TO see his contract
DESTROYED
Along IN Mr.. CIeveland's second term
Mr.. HOrnblower concluded that the judi
cial ermine would suit him and got Mr..
Mccall to interest himself for him. The
result was that Mr. Cleveland sent Mr.
Hornblower's name 10 the Senate to fill
a vacancy upon the bench OF the Su-
preme Court OF the United States. But
1t did not meet with that overwhelming
enthusiasm which Mr.. HornblOwer as
sumed his nomination ought 10 awaken
IN the hearts of his cOuntrymen, and the
nomination was hung up.
1T was apparent that the hostility OF
Senator David Il. Hill would defeat
Mr. IIornblower's ambition unless some
thing could be done to induce the Sena-
tor to charge his course.
Hills Advice Ignored.
Mr. Mccall. called me into his office
and said he was anxious that Mr. Horn
blower be confirmed, and asked me If l
would not go TO Senator Hill, who was
warm friend OF mine. as well as of
Mr.. Mccall and plead with him TO with
draw his opposition. 1 consented, and
that night saw the Senator in his homo
in Washington.
Mr.. Hill said he did not approve OF
Mr.. Hornblower and drew an accurate
pen picture of the man. I told him Mr..
Mccall was pledged TO Mr.. Hornblower,
and that we were both anxious that the
nomination be confirmed. At length
| Senator Hill said:
''.WeI, l don't like HornblOwer. the
party don I like him. but he will be con-
firmed IL he will keep his tongue still.

Expense Not Considerable.

Going back TO the constructing Of
sea-level canal he said that the increas-
ed expense of such a type should not
weigh heavily upon the committee in
deciding the type question.
"A sea-level canal can be built in
ten or twelve years. Lock canal of sixty
feet would be completed. under Ordi-
nary circums tances, in from seven to
nine years. difference OF but three
years. Considering that the work OF
digging and hauling away what is dug
! do not believe the additional time re-
ouired for a sea-level plan would be
much more expensive or that 1t should
seriously initiate against that type.
IF it is not too much to hope that
the committee will decline to recommend
any form of canal which is not capable
of being in the future transformed into
q sea-Ievel canal without undue inter
ference with the worlds traffic, nd with
out undue additional cost, this fact alone
should take the recommendations OF
the minority of the board OF consult
ing engineers and the recommenda tions
OF the majority of the Isthmian Canal
Commission out Of really serious con-
Riderati ."

Condemns South Dam.
Approves Contract Scheme.

Mr. Wallace strongly urged the con-
struction Of the canal by contract On
this subject he said:
Whether the canal shall be construct
ed under the present method Of man
Rgement or whether a contract for the
work shall be made with a single con-
tracing firm. the latter is 10 my mind
preferred Specifications, of course,
should be of the most broad and general
nature leaving all detail engineering
plans TO the err.ineers Of the contractor
1n order that he may have the fullest
latitude in Immediately meeting and
overcoming such local difficulties as
from time to time are sure to arise.
After the contract is let. there would
be no reason for retaining a cumber-
some Governmental organization IN ref
erence TO the work. for there is no
doubt that the corps Of engineers OF
the United States army could most ef-
fcientIy supervise the contractor en-
gagged upon the work All the Govern
mental functions. including policing and
sanitation. could easily be performed
under the control and direction of the
governor Of the Canal Zone 1t cannot

Says Army Engineer Corps Could Be

Ia his testimony before the Senate
1nteroceanic Canals Committee today
Us TO the type of canal he would con-
struct across the Isthmus of Panama,
John +. Wallace. former chief engineer
OF the Canal Commission. emphatically
advocated a sea-level canal
My judgment as an engineer is con-
trolled by several fundamental prin-
Ciples, ne said. "A sea-leveI canal Of
ample depth and width could be con-
structed in from ten to twelve years. at
q cost Of 5000, ,o00, ,OO0"
He said that it must be conceded that
Bn approximately straight sea-level
canal is the best type of a canal, and
that any other plan which places re-
strictious upon the probable permanency
Of The canal itself as well as upon the
speed and the size and number of yes
sels passing through it. must neces-
sarily render such canal far less valu-
able
Condemns South Dam.
He condemned the proposed idea OF
constructing dam at Gatun or la
Boca. In It's stead he would construct
such a dam at GambOa.
Under certain conditions ne said
'earthen dams Of such large dimensions
carefully formed are permissible. 1t is
not believed however. that such form
of construction should be seriously con-
sidered when il Is possible to secure a
masonry structure founded on a rock
bed
