SEA LEVEL VS.. LOCKS,

Washington, March PROF. WILL
liam H. Burr of New York
a member of the board Of consulting
engineers appointed by the President
to Investigate the type of canal to be
constructed across the Isthmus Of Pam
anna and one Of the signers Of the ma
jcrity report in favor of a sea level ca
nal testified Wednesday, before the
Senate committee on inter oceanic ca
nails. He stated that he concurred fully
In the conclusions reached by the ma
jority and that since the report was
prepared his reflections convinced him
more than ever that a sea level canal
was more feasible than a lock canal.
The witness was examined at length
concerning the control OF the Chagres
river and declared that the problem pre-
sented was entirely feasible He declared
that he could see no reason why sea
level should not be constructed in 10
years as no doubtful engineering feats
were contemplated in the majority plan.
Tho committee adjourned until 1923
o'clock tomorrow, when It Is understood
Prof. Burr will attack the wisdom OF
constructing a canal Of the lock type
provided for In the minority report.

In response to an inquiry from Bailey
as TO whether he would not join in AN
effort to secure an amendment to the bill
which would retain in effect rates fixed
by the commission until finally deter
mined by the courts. Clapp said he could
not on the ground that such a provision
would affect the very life of the proposed
law.
Bailey did not accept the doctrine that
Congress had not the power to forbid a
suspension Of rates but said that if such
was the case the Spooner impoundment
amendment should be accepted. He did
not believe in closing the doors of the
courts to anyone but insisted that until
the courts should conclude their investi-
cation and reach a final verdict the rate
of the commission should continue in ef-
feet.
Nelson asked Bailey II he held that
Congress had any more power to prohibit
n court from issuing a temporary injuiC
ton than from Issuing n final injunction.
and the Texas senator replied that he
had no doubt that Congress had power
to provide against an interlocutory de-
creo of order. for, he said, if Congress
had power to establish a rate it was
not unreasonable to ask that it should
remain until the question at Issue was
finally determined. He did not believe
that any judge who might be brought
into case should have the power to
suspend the order of the commission, es-
pecially when the commission was sup
posed to perfectly understand its bust
ness. while the judges We're not special
lists in railroad law or business. "Taken
as 4 whole" he said, 'the federal judges

If the railroads are not able to make out
