THEY REPORT FOR
A LOCK CANAL
Canal Commission, Secretary of War
and President Roosevelt So Tell
Congress.


Washington, D. c., Feb. 21-President
Roosevelt today transmitted to con-
gress the report Of the board Of con-
sulting engineers on the Panama canal,
together with a letter from Secretary
Taft, the report Of the isthmian canal
commission and q letter by Chief En-
gineer Stevens.
In his letter the president says that
after careful. full n exhaustive con-
sideration Of the whole subject he con-
ours in the recommendation of the Sec
rotary Of wal for q lock n
The canal commission Is composed Of
Alfred Noble. Henry L. Abbot, Freder-
ic p. Stearns. Joseph Ripley, Isham
Randolph.
At the conclusion Of a very exhaus-
tive report they say:
1--WE believe the locks and other
structures Of the lock canal can be built
in less time than is required for the
Culebra cut, but the margin is not
great, and the project is well balanced
in this respect. If the summit level
were made higher the Culebra cut could
be completed sooner, but the locks
would require more time and the canal
would probably not be finished as soon;
II the simmit level were made lower
the Culebra cut would obviously take
longer. We believe, therefore, that the
project we recommend will open navi-
Sat1On across the lSlnl1luS III lTe least
possible time. Since the Culebra cut
will fix the time for completing either
the lock canal or the sea-level canal,
and the former requires only half as
much excavation from the Culebra cut
as the latter, it can be built in approx
imately half the time. A differ
ence of six years In favor Of the lock
canal is a very conservative estimate.
IN view Of the unquestioned fact
tina the lock canal herein advocated
will cost about 500, 100000 less than
the proposed sea-level canal: believing
tina it can be built in much less time;
A., tina IL Will afford Il better navigation:
that it will be adequate for all it's uses
for a longer time, and can be enlarged.
IL need should arise, with greater facil-
lty and less cost, we recommend the
lock canal at elevation So for adoption

USED TO SHOO
OUT LAW MAKERS
HUNGARIAN Parliament Is Dissolved by
Use of Forcc-Coalition Party
Will Try Again.

E
Budapest, Feb. 21.-The Hungarian
HarIiament was dissolved this morning
with the use Of force.
h loor and corridors of the build-
ing were cleared by the police. There
tayere no disorders. Members of the
coalition party declared the dissolution
Unconstitutional and illegal, and they
will hold a meeting Wednesday in the
parliament building unless prevented by
Troops.
A basis for the refusal Of the depu-
Mes to dissolve was the contention that
the king-emperor's act is ~unconstitu-
%ftionaI, but upon this point there is
much divergence of opinion, even
iamong the Hungarian opposition lead
iers.
The members Of the present cham-
tber of deputies were elected a year ago.,
hut owing to continued conflict between
|the crown and the parliamentary OPP
position since hen the chamber has
been practically without functions Of
iany kind.
The king can call new elections with
lin ninety days from the date Of disolv-
ing parliament, and it is believed this
will be done. The object of the crown
lin calling new elections will be to weak
len or break the power of the present
lcoalition. which has Decn arraigned
against it for twelve months. These
elections could not be held under the
proposed broader suffrage rights for
Hungary.
i The commercial treaties with Aus
tria, Russia. Germany. Italy n other
countries must be ratified before March
i. and there being no parliament this
would be done by the Hungarian min

ANOTHER RACE
TRACK SCANDAL
Sensation in Los Angeles Owe.
Conduct of the Ascot
Meeting.
AN OFFICIAL is U
Ali Kinds of Fraud and Collision Sal,
to Exist Between Favored Horse
men and One Of the Authori-
ties of the Track.

Los Angeles, Cal, Feb. 21.-The Her.
aid says that PROBABLY the most sen
sational race track scandal in decades
will be sprung today, when formas.
charges involving a prominent horse
owner and race track manager will be
fled by a committee of horsemen with
the board of directors of the Los Ans
geles Jockey club. It will be alleged that
fraud, collision and unfair conduct,
have occurred continuously since the
opening day Of the Ascot race meeting
Among the charges are that a certain
owner has been cheating with his
horses by having races specially ar;
ranged for him and then "squaring"
matters with the official who is namedi
in the charges, by presenting he off,
cial after each rae with a box OF ci-i
gars under a paper cover in which was
placed G. 500 bill.
This, 1t is alleged, always had the
effect Of allaying any criticisms. It is
also claimed one of the owners was ac-,
customed to use training shoes on some
of his horses, thus handicapping them
e%ffectually. Later he would remove the
training shoes and replace them with
racing shoes, allowing the horses to win
with ease over practically the same
fields in which they had been deIeateo
previously. Instances are cited by
complaining horsemen where this Is
alleged to a occurred.
Track Conditions Changed.
1t is also charged the track conditions
were ordered changed by a certain OH
cial to favor B~earcatcher, a horse which
won u race with Handzarra n CRU
zados here several weeks ago. rms
was done on the order Of an official OF
the track, it is asserted, who had pre-
yiously laid a large wager on Bear
catcher.
Many other charges will be made
more or less in detail. 1t Is alleged
there has for some time existed much
i'll feeling between certain officials OF
the track, in which there has been sew
eral clashes OF authority. Once an OF:
fetal drew a revolver or another anc
threatened to shoot him.
Charges are also made that an Off
cial Of the track has an interest in one
of the racing stables and lends his Of.
fetal influence to favor this stable IL
the races. The charges are accom-
panied by half a dozen affidavits b!
complaining horsemen.

Prove Claims,

Washington, Feb. 21.-The famous
case OF the state Of Missouri VS.. the
state of Illinois, involving the right of
the city of Chicago to divert it's sew
erage into the Mississippi river through
the Chicago sanitary canal and the
Illinois river, was decided today by
the supreme court of the United States
In favor Of Illinois.
Justice Holmes delivered the opin-
ion. which was that Missouri did not
prove it's case. There was no diSsen-
sion.
The supreme court also decided the
case of the United States VS.. the Bitter
Root Development company n other
assignees of the late Marcus Daily, of
Montana, involving the charge of UNI
lawfully cutting $4,000, 900 worth of
timber on public lands in that state
against the government, but it was
stated by Justice Peckham, who deliv-
cred the opinion. that as the govern
ment had secured new evidence the de-
cision is without prejudice.

dreds, thousands gathered about the
White House, fascinated by the thought
that they could be so near the scene
on which the eyes Of the world are CEN

ington crowd, and included many who
were friends of the R~oosevelts. and
good enough friends to understand the
impossibility of all the friends OF the

There was no iostling and no disor-
der, comparatively few policemen be-

Counties.

Iron county was carried by the
Democrats by l27 majority, about
half the majority the party has
had there in former years. One Re-
publican county judge was elected,
the first Republican to hold office in
that county in thirty-five years.
In Jefferson county the Republi-
cans had majority OF 303 on their
state ticket, and elected their county
ticket with the exception OF repre-
sentative, prosecuting attorney, sher-
if and coroner.
Although the Republicans carried
Franklin county by a lead Of about
one THOUSAND, the scratchers were
busy there with their little pencils
and thus the Democrats elected the
presiding Judge, county clerk and
treasurer.
In Crawford county the Republican n
won out with a plurality OF al, and
elected their county ticket with the
exception of representative, who will
be the Hon. Frank Farris; presidi ne
judge, judge of the 1st district, coun-
ty clerk and collector. About an eve Z

Norwegians have a primitive way
of breaking up old, worn out wooden

anchoring them, leave the breakers
