trouble in the Interior Department. Sec

the Interior Department on an extensive
scale This tallies with the report

SUPPLIES FOR THE CANAL.
Opposition to the Joint Resolution of
the Finance Committee.

A joint resolution reported to the Senate
by the committee on finance. authorizing
the President to purchase abroad machin-
cry and other material for the Panama
canal In case prices in this country are
found to be extortionate and unreasona Bile,
will meet with opposition In the Senate.
That opposition will be based upon two
grounds, one being the objection of demo-
cratic opposition 10 the bill. the other be-
ing based the equitable ground that re-
cent bidders for dredges for the canal have
right for these contracts. provided they
are the lowest bidders, matter from
what part Of the world the dredges come
The joint resolution was reported to the
Senate. although 1t allows some freedom of
action in the purchase of dredges and other
material regardless of manufacture at the
same time places virtual restriction upon
such purchases by making them possible
only where there Is very large difference
in the price at home and abroad
On the equitable side of this case Ii is
contended that the invitation of the Secre-
tary of War for bids from all countries for
dredges resulted In securing a bid from a
Holland firm the Holland-American Dredge
Building Syndicate. and from Scotch firm,
Williams Simons of Renfrew, Scotland
The Scotch firm presented a bid on two
dredges amounting to almost $4,000 less
than the lowest American bid, which was
by the Maryland Steel Company Without
congressional action this bid would have
been accepted.
The joint resolution may come up late
week. but when 1t Is considered in the SEN
ate there will be some very interesting talk
about this course proposed to be adopted
by the committee on finance.

PENALTY OF MURDER
CHARLES E. GRANT SENTENCED
TO BE HANGED.

Charles z. Grant colored. convicted of
the murder of Eva Barnes. also colored,
was today sentenced by Justice Gould IN
Criminal Court No. l to die on the scaffold
Tuesday, October 30 An earlier date was
not fixed because the appeal which was
noted cannot be taken to the appellate
court before the first week in October,
owing to the fact that the sessions or the
higher court are suspended throughout the
summer.
When called upon to stand up for SEN
tence Grant obeyed mechanically Seem
ing to be almost oblivious to his surround
ings, he gazed with dull stare steadily
ahead. In response to the question asked
by Justice Gould il he had anything to say
why the sentence of the law should not be
pronounced, the condemned man mumbed
a few words in an inarticulate tone. 1t APP
peared as much from his manner as from
his answer that he desired to make no
statement. whereupon Justice Gould uttered
the prescribed language OF the law con-
demning Grant to be hanged. The solemn
pronunciation seemed to make scarcely
any impression on the mind of the pris-
Oner.
Motion for New Trial Overruled.
Prior to the imposition of sentence At
torney James A. o Shea. counsel for Grant,
made a motion for new trial and argued
several points of law and evidence. In
overruling the motion Justice Gould re-
viewed the course of the trial, saying that
the court had resolved all doubtful ques-
lions in favor of the defendant. The court
convinced that Grant had had every
consideration in the trial which the law
could afford. The court took occasion to
compliment the jury and counsel for the
defense, adding that the prosecution,
though strenuous, was not unfair This is

Indictment charged that he killed the
Barnes woman by assaulting her with a
knife December 49, infiicting wound from
which she died January 20 following: The
killing, it was testified, grew out of a jeal-
Gus quarrel.
