ESPECIAL CORRESPONDING TO
THE ARGUS.l

Colon. Panama, April 16.-The
Ion, representing all the principal
steamship lines that operate either to
or from Colon, has just adopted a re-
solution that hereafter no order for
transportation issued by the United
States government will be honored un-
less accompanied by cash.
BY this action the agents are merely
paying their compliments to govern
mental red tape. They claim that in
the past they have issued transporta-
ton upon a governmental order; that
they have sent again and again to the
disbursing officer for their money, but
that so much trouble has been encoun-
tered and so great delay caused in the
matter of payment, that their present
action is necessary for their self-pre-
servation.
Where else in the world is the Unit
ed States government denied credit?
Nearly every line involved in this
strike" is of European ownership, and
the story goes across the sea that our
methods are so wearisome and en-
tangling that the agents at Colon can
not do business with us.
There are two or three interesting
stories in reference to the administra-
tion of justice on the canal zone. In
the first place, there is no jury sys-
tem-that basic principle upon which
the entire structure of American jurls-
prudence is founded l understand
that this fact has already been
brought to the attention of Secretary
Taft and that he has said that condi-
tions are such that the jury system is
impracticable at present
But down here we have been unable
TO ascertain the reasons why the jury
is impracticable. There are some 5000
or more white people on the zone, and
surely it would be possible to secure
II fair minded men among this num-
Der. whenever an offense is of suffi
cient gravity to warrant jury trial

New York, May 3.-The stock mar
ket today showed itself in a rather
nervous and unsettled frame of mind
after the experience of yesterdays
commotion. There were moderate
gains at the opening, but there was no
large buying on demand, although
some prominent speculative stocks

the first hour, there was a sharp break
all around, led by Reading. Prompt
support met the break and the decline
was checked, but the tone of the mar

There have been mOretthan forty Grim
inal cases in the Cristdbal circuit with
in the past year andf a half. If the
same average has beeh maintained in
the other two circuits, there have been
120 cases on the zone since January,
1905. The fact as well as the law in
these cases has been determined by
individual judges, sitting alone.
Fortunately, in the Cristobal circuit,
where l had the best opportunities for
observation, the people have unlimited
confidence in the circuit Judge, Lorin

who served as speaker of the lower
branch of the Illinoiss Legislature, and
who served two years on the bench
prior to his appointment on the canal
