WALLACE FAVORS
SEA LEVEL CANAL.
Says Only Deterrent Factor to His Plan
for Panama Is Time and
EXnense.

WASHINGTON. u. e., March 20
John +. Wallace, former chief engineer
of the Panama canal commission before
the Senate committee on intcroceauic
canals, in advocating an approximately
straight, sea level canal, urged that any
other plan which places restrictions upon
the probable pcImanency of the canal
itself, as well as upon the speed and the
size and number of vessels passing
through il, must render the canal far less
valuable; that the only deterrent factors
in this connection are relative time and
cost and that in approaching the destina-
tion the question of how much money
the American people supposedly are vii
ling 10 invest in the canal and now much
time they are willing to wait for its
proper accomplishment should be con
sidcred.
Cheaper Than Suez Canal.
He said that, judged by the capitaliaa-
ton and dividends now paid upon the
stock of the SueZ canal, it is apparent
that the rates charged for transit
through il are excessive, and thus ma
teral saving would he offered commerce
by the Panama route
assuming that the present tonnage
through Sucz of say, lO,OO0OOO tons per
year would pass through the Panama
canal even at 81 ton. there would be.
he said, an approximate income Of $40
600 900 which is sufficient to justify an
expenditure Of S300OOOO00." The lat
Ter figures he deemed ample to construct
the sea level canal.
As to the additional time involved Mr..
Wallace predicted that upon a basis ''ot
reasonable energy and the use of proper
business methods of administration,
sea level canal can be fully completed in
ten. or &c be entirely safe. say twelve

TAKES EXCEPTION
TO BOARD BILL
Orphans Court in Kent COun-
ty Settle Contention Over
an Estate
sneclal 10 The Evenlng Journal.

DOVER, Dec. 2s.-A contention in
the courts over the estate of a WE'LL
known Dover woman came TO an end
yesterday, except in so far as the final
steps for the register are concerned.
Like all will cases, it proved rather
costly contention.
It was drawn between the heirs of
the late Mrs. John NJ. Ford, wife of the
proprietor Of the Bayard House OF
Dover, and was ended by the final de-
cree OF Chancellor Nicholson and Judge
Pennewl, sitting in the Orphans
Court OF Kent county.
The case came up as an appeal from
the settlement before Register of Wills
William d. Hudson, Amy Ford Walker
and jefferson L. Ford taking excep-
tions against a board bill of Sf04S
charged against the mother by Harry
L. Ford. the present proprietor Of the
Bayard House and another son and
heir. Checks which had been given
against the estate were also excepted
to.
The decree Of the court orders a new
accounting before the register Of woills.
and disal'ows checks and discounts
board and nursing bills until the ex-
.ecutor will have to turn back about
$500 which was previously allowed
him under these items and charges.
The board and nursing bill Of S104S
was for find and attention during a
period Of 1S1 weeks. for which the ex-
ecutor charged IS per week. The court
allowed him 81 for the same number OF
weeks. The court disallowed checks
for $500 with interest and S557 re-
lspectively drawn against the estate and
cut down another item from 1912 TO
is1326O.
The costs Of the case and the final
settlement, the court ordered, should
be divided in equal parts between the
executor and the eXceptants.
