Blaze Under Porch of Rev. J. I. Ma
CURES Home-other Fires.

Rev. Joseph I. Mcguire. pastor of the
Church of the Holy Comforter. was awak-
ened this morning about 5::s9 and told that
there was blaze under the porch in front
of his residence. No 10 engine company
responded to local alarm and the blaze
was extnguished after about IS damage
had been caused. The pastor thought cir
cumstances indicated that the blaze was
the work of an incendiary, but the fire
marshal made investigation and con-
Guided that it was the result of spontaneous
combustion.
An alarm of fire was sounded from box
"a shortly before ) o'clock yesterday af-
ternoon. suulmoning several companies of
the fire department TO the vicinity of LIST
ana l. streets southeast. There was
slight blaze in the house of Charles Jack
son. 139 l. street which was extingushed
before more than $40 damage had been
caused
No o engine company responded to a
local alarm. yesterday afternoon about A
clock and found blaze in the chimney
at the house OFF. p Clark. HOS LIST street

PREFERS LOCK CANAL
Chief Engineer Stevens Tells of
His Conversion.
ALL THE ENGINEERS AGREE
That This is the Best Type of Water
way.
NO CONTRACT CAN BE MADE
Until This Question is Definitely Set
tled-Testimony Before the
House Committee.

Chief Engineer Stevens of the Panama
canal commission, and every engineer on
the 1sthmus of Panama, has a decided pref
erence, IL is stated, for lock canal over the
sea level type. If politics and govern
mental red tape could be eliminated Mr..
Stevens would be decidedly in favor of build
ing the canal entirely by the government.
These two questions were brought for
ward In a new light and the questions of
sanitation. that of operating the Panama
railroad, government property, a bust
ness corporation, were discussed before the
House committee on appropriations last
week in a manner which constitutes prac-
tically new chapter on the Panama canal.
First, Secretary Taft was heard and ex-
planned from his point of view the expendi-
lures and estimates for the canal work In
brief, he stated that see, 800, 1856 has so far
been appropriated for the canal; that on
July 1 there will be a deficit of 100000;
that the appropriation of twenty-five mil
lion and more carried in the bill will make
this amount up and provide for the work
for the coming fiscal year.
Mr.. Shonts followed with an explanation
OF why 1t was necessary to operate the
Panama railroad as a separate institution.
NO appropriations are asked for the rail-
road.

been made by the consulting board
The lesson learned from the San Fran
cisco earthquake of the effect on locks and
dams. 1t stated to the committee to be
that instead of destroying the work 1t was

Those Who Manage.

The officers who manage II hold positions
with the canal commission; the contracts
for transportation are made independently
of any governmental restriction; the money
for new equipment is borrowed from the
government and repaid from the earnings
of the road: the government owns all the
stock of the road except one share each to
its directors and holds options on these out
standing shares. In this way the road is
as independent as any railroad can be of
governmental restrictions. but at the same
time allowed to enter into all necessary
traffic agreements.
For sanitation on the isthmuS 81 46l ,435
is carried In the sundry civil bill for the
coming fiscal year. This is estimated to
provide for all sanitary appliances, sani-
tary employees and to take care Of the In
creased force of laborers estimated for IN
this connection the question of doing the
work by contract by the government,
the question of sanitation in either case is
to be strictly controlled by the government.
This is one of the objections to the contract
system as the matter of maintaining SAM
tation in laborers camps would to GER
tain extent be lost control of by the gov
eminent were these camps maintained by
contractors.
Whether the work be done by contract or
not, Mr.. Stevens is of the opinion that the
government will have to supply the neces-
sary mechanical equipment for excavating
the canal. This was one of the questions
raised when the emergency appropriation
was made some months ago.
