governor said he had giveen spacial
orders 10 the penitentiary authorities
to meet the prisoners at the gate and
10 guard them most carefully. The
troops of the guard will then go on tC
the encampment. The Governor said
/ am very much gratified at the out
come Of the trial of the lynchers. 1t
shows that court and jury measured up
What | expected of them, that is their
full duty. So much has been said in

capture Of the Jail and the failure Of
the company on duty within it to fire
On the mob, that | will order court

Barker and his Salisbury company
This court is requested by Captain
Barker who says he is unwilling TO
submit to the charge that he and mis-
men did not do their duty. l have no
power to investigate the civil officers
conduct, and that must be done by
others, but | can get all the facts by
the court martial and will do so. | am
now preparing instructions and orders
not only to the civil authorities but
to the military, which will forever
hereafter prevent a failure to act when
they are SO ordered on duty Governor
Glenn says the reports in the news
papers have been very correct and have
greatly aided in bringing the lynchecs

ialtman F. P. Shouts Arrives
From Colon
MORE LABOR AND LESS PAIN
Are the Two Things Most to be De-
sred-Labor Problem Partially
solved by the Employment of Span
E-mpieyed-No yellow Fever i'm n
Long Time.

New York, August lit. P. Shonts.
chairman, and Joseph Bishop, secrerlry
or the Panama Canal Commission. a.
rived here today from Colon. Nr.
ShOnts said that general conditions in
the canal zone were very favorabiu III
present and constantly improving. All
We want, he declared, lis more labo..
and less rain. The labor problem has
been partially solved by the employ
ment OF Spanish workmen. We have
also advertised for Chinese laborers.
The death rate has risen from : Il
per cent last winter to per cert. az
the present time, which is a better
showing than at the average labor
camp in this country. Yellow fever has
not appeared in a long time and for
the nine days previous TO my departure.
no smallpox was prevalent It will be
some days, however, before We can b.
sure that the disease has been entirely
eradicated. Out of the thirty-seven
cases which broke out during the re-
cent epidemic, only one death occurred
work on the canal was now we'll under
way.
Mr.. Shonts gave out the following
statement issued in Washington today
by President GOmpers Of the America Il
Federation Of Labor, asserting that the
employment of Chinese labor was con :
trary to the law, and that the eigh,
hour law was being violated. The eight
hour law does not apply to unskilled
labor on the Isthmus of Panama. The
entire present unskilled labor force is
alien. We can not secure this class of
unskilled labor from the United States.
1t is therefore not seen why a law
passed in the interest OF American
labor at home should be made appli-
cable to alien labor who prOba bl Y
never heard of its existence. Its appti-
cation would have increased the labor
cost of the canal several million
dollars.
LAS t. the statement of Mr.. Conn er>
that the existing law excludes Chinese
labOrers and coolies from the United
States or any of its possessions, !!
would say the Panama canal zone IS
an American possession and it IS a>
much a violation of the law to bring
Chinese coolies there as it is in o her
that the commission has secured the
opinion of the highest legal authorities
Of the government. 1t has been held
that such law does not apply 10 the
canal zone
