Mr.. Theodore E. Burton, the American
statesman. who will advocate disarmament in

ton at The Hague has attracted no little atten

He is the chairman of the house committee on

conspicuous figure before the public because ne
has had the courage to fight some OF the old
"pork barrel" schemes in river and harbor appro
priations by which money was dumped into shall
low creeks and useless bayous merely because
congressman asked for it. He has evolved
new system of river and harbor improvement
whereby the most important waterways and mar
bors shall receive the greatest amount of money
He believes in completing important national
projects before taking up those of more local
character.

 TRIP ID PORTO RICO His Tour Of Inspection Greatly Pleased the Executive Who Writes to
 Continue It ''CREAT WORK CRIT|CIzED" Was the Comment He Made on Remarks of Several Writers
 About the Canal.

COLON, Nov. 19-President Roose- welt is now on his way back to the United States from Panama. He is due to arrive at Ponce, Porto Rico, on Wednesday. From there he will cross the island to San Juan by automobile for one day visit to the capital. He will embark at San Juan for Hampton Roads on Thursday and expects to reach Washington on Tuesday. Nov. 27, in time to spend Thanksgiving day at the White House.
 The president and his party sailed Saturday night at 10 o'clock for Ponce, Porto Rico, on board the United States battleship Louisiana.
 After riding on horseback through the muddy streets of Colon on Satur- day afternoon the president went to the residence of Mir. Biers, general manager of the Panama railroad, for dinner. Those present included Chair man Shonts of the canal commission, Chief Engineer Stevens and their wives, Secretary Latta and Surgeon General Rixey. Secret service men guard the presidential party at every stage of their trip.
 At half past o'clock President Roosevelt reached pier No. Il, where there was an enthusiastic gathering of at least 800 persons, principally canal employees at Cristobal and other points along the line. Here the president as- cended the band stand and made thir- ty minute speech. In giving his i'm pressions of the work on the canal he said he was pleased with what already had been done and paid his respects to those who had adversely criticised the work.
 How about Poultney Bigeloww came from among the auditors.
 With much deliberation the presi- dent remarked that in every large work there was always some one to find something that was not done as it should have been, but the employees should on no account pay attention to such criticisms, as the critics would sink out of sight, while the work the men were doing and had done would remain long after all criticism had been forgotten.
 President Roosevelt said also he was 50 impressed with the magnitude and greatness of this work that he would like to see one of his sons engaged therein. He congratulated all the heads of departments upon the work being done. and with especial warmth he congratulated Captain George R. Shanton on hls success in maintaining order in the canal zone and in perfect ing the splendid police force under his copfrol
