.I5THMUS DROUGHT
NOW THE TROUBLE
COLON RESERVOIR BREAKS AT
WRONG TIME
Canal Affairs Progressing in Very SAT-
isfactory Way-some Apprehen-
sion Felt over Water
Supply
BY Associated Press.

NEW YORK, April S.-Before leav-
ing for Tuskegee, Ala, last night Sec
retary Taft, who came over from
Washington yesterday to attend the
annual meeting of the Panama Rail-
road company, talked at some length
of canal prospects on the isthmus.
AS far as l can learn" he said,
Everything is progressing there gen.
orally in a highly satisfactory condi-
tion. I've no doubt Chief Engineer
Stevens has his troubles these are
bound to come. but affairs are in much
better shape than ever before.
"The only disquieting news 1 have
heard is that there has been a break
in one of our new reservoirs at Colon.
I don't know how serious it is, for I
have not received an answer to a
message 1 sent to Stevens for partic-
ulars. I'm in hopes, though, that it
can be repaired. for the problem of
providing an adequate water supply
has presented n great many difficult
ties. The dry season there is abso-
lutely dry. Not a drop of water falls,
and it is absolutely essential that an
adequate supply be stored against this
season if healthful conditions are to
be maintained. How the people man
aged to survive at all on the isthmus
without water storage is one of the
wonders that has impressed me most
about that country.
"Mr Stevens and most of his asso-
ciates have taken up their residence
in Culebra, where the conditions are
better than in Panama

CAR MEN SETTLE DIFFICULTY

ment and Strike Is AVerted
BY Associa ted Press.

OAKLAND, April 3.-There will he
no car strike in Oakland The matter
was practically settled this afternoon
after the conference between the car
men and the traction managers. After
+he conference between President Eli
son and President Mahon, who comprise
the subcommittee of the carmen, the
following statement was issued by the
president of the carmen's organiza-
ton:
"A proposition looking to the settle
ment of the present dispute between
the Oakland Traction company and our
organization has been reached by the
committee and the officers of the COM
pany the nature of which we are not at
liberty to give out, as the laws of the
union recognize that it must be passed
upon by the members of the union be-
fore it can be accepted or rejected, and
therefore cannot be given out until our
meeting tonight. However, the COM
mittee is of the opinion that the propo-
sition will be accepted by the members
and an amicable settlement of the dis
pute reached"
The Garments union will hold a meet
ing at midnight in order to pass upon
the proposition made by the traction
managers.

NO CHANGE WITH MINERS
President Mitchell Says Soft Coal Af-

Expected
Dc Aevonia ted Prass.

NEW YORK, April 3.-Although
nothing has occurred to change the sit
uation, there was Il general expecta-
tion today that the conference between
the subcommittee OF anthracite oper-
ators and the miners will bear fruit
There was a strong optimistic feeling
among the representatives, of the min
ers that something will happen great
ly to relieve the situation President
John Mitchell said the miners still
stand firm for what they have asked,
but he felt confident that the operators
would not continue to maintain the at
titude they have assumed UP to the
present time. Notwithstanding Mr..
Mitchelrs firm stand, it is considered
quite likely that the Shamolin scale
committee would rather make conces-
sions than declare a strike at this time
President Mitchell said that affairs
