Chairman OF Panama Canal Commis-
sion Defends Federal Policy.

CINCINNATI. o.. Jan. - Chairman
Theodore T.. Shonts OF the isthmlan ca
nal commission made an address be-
fore the Commercial club here, in which
he delivered an impassioned attack on
Poultney Bigelow concerning his mag
azine article on conditions on the 18th
mus.
After quoting that part Of President
Rocseyelt's recent message which re-
sents published attacks on the canal
administration Mr. Shonts said;
"A notable specimen of scandal mon
gering literature was laid before the
country few days ago from the pen
|of 4 man who had spent twenty eight
hours and ten minutes ON the isthinus
The ten minutes are important, for a
person OF such extraordinary powers
of observation and production can coll
sect an enormous amount OF material
In that time. In those twenty eight
hours and ten minutes he accumulated
a fund of exact knowledge sufficient
TO enable him to draw a general and
sweeping Indictment Of the president
Secretary Taft the canal commission,
Governor Magoon. Chief Engineer
Stevens, Colonel Gorgas and everything
that has been done on the isthmus since
the American government came into
possession OF the canal zone.
He has been not merely answered,
but annihilated, by Secretary Taft, and
! shall waste no time with him.
Speaking for the members Of the
commission, as well as for myself.
wish to say with all possible emphasis
that we not only invite Investigation OF
our acts by the senate committee, but
ask for 1t as a right IL we are doing
our work honestly and efficiently, our
hands should be upheld. Ii it Is shown
that we are doing ii inefficiently we
should be removed, and IL we are do
ing 1t dishonesty, we should be ex-
posed, convicted and sent to prison.
I'VE protest in the name of Ameri.
can fair play against the dissemination
In the United States of libels and
SANDERS upon the efficiency and char
acter of faithful workers on the 18TH
mus who, by reason of their absence
from their own country, cannot de-
fsnd themselves from such assaults.
II believe In tho canal-believe that
1t can be built in reasonable time and
believe that when. through American
generosity and under American con-
troll. 1t shall be thrown open to the COM
merce of the world it will be hailed
and will prove to be, priceless boon
TO all mankind"

testimony taken have tended toward har-
monizlng the Views of the members.
posed by the minority OF the board OF
consulting engineers are apparently conf
dent that this plan will be followed. They
have pointed out that If no agreement is
reached by congress the president in his
message transmitting the two reports OF
the board has given notice that the ad-
ministraton will proceed with the con-
struction OF the lock canal
The witnesses who have testified before
the committee have been about evenly
dividd as to the type OF canal. The next
witness will be General Davis, formerly
n member OF the canal commission and
governor OF the canal zone. Secretary
Taft will appear some time next week.
IL Is generally believed that the senti-
ment I'm congress is largely I'm favor OF
the waterway by contract. 1t
has been suggested that congress by joint
resolution may take action I'm this regard
