FAVORSCONTRACTPLAN
GEN. DAVIS VIEW ON PANAMA
CANAL CONSTRUCTION.

The contract plan. for the building of the
isthmfan canal was strongly advocated by
Gen. George w. Davis In resuming his tes-
timony before the Senate committee tnyes-
tigating canal affairs He thought the en-
tire work of construction should be turned
over to one contractor, who should have
full freedom of scope regarding places of
getting material and labor and to be under
no restrictions as to hours
Specifications should be prepared care
fully. he said. for every item OF work, and
payment offered ON the basis of unit uuanti-
ties. He thought the railroad should be
turned over to the contractor as a tool the
contractor being a temporary lessee of the
railroad. which would reduce the CONNER
cial business to necessary transfers OF
freight.
He expressed the opinion that there would
be no difficulty in getting satisfactory
contractor who would be- able to furnish a
bond of from ten million to fifty million dol
lars or whatever amount was decided upon
as advisable. Half a dozen contractors in
American and Europe would be bidders for
the work, said Gen. Davis
Senator Morgan replied that European
contractors would not be desirable, because
OF the criticism their employment would
raise in this country.
Generally speaking. said Gen Davis, for
eign contractors were better able to take
over big works of this character than Amer
lean contractors. and he called attention to
the fact that there were many foreign con-
tractors working in this country now.
Cost Of Lands to Be Taken.
Gen. Davis spoke at some length concern
ing the difficulty OF adjusting titles to lands
in the canal one. He expressed the opinion
that the United States could expect to be
robbed in making these settlements, and
that the cost would be many million dol
lars. The cost to this government would ha
much greater. he thought IL tho minority
plana for the canal were adopted. and this
government has to pay for the land snh

Mr.. Woods instruction.

In respect Of the charge that the con-
ductors have not been sufficiently instructed
In the management OF elevators 1t was
recalled today that Superintendent Woods
OF the Capitol gave the matter Of instruc-
ton and inspection special emphasis in a
recent annual report
He said 'One thing in particular has re-
celved special attention, and that is the
elevator service. In general accidents to
elevators will happen, Notwithstanding the
best precautions taken, and / should like
to make 1t a matter of record in behalf
of the employees under the direction of this
office that the inspection of our elevator
service 10 very complete. For this pur-
pose card system has been In operation
during the past year. something after the
following fashion:
One ach morning two accredited engineers
OF each wing OF the Capitol make q thor
ough inspection Of the machinery. One of
these engineers takes UP a position at the
overhead machinery, and while the oper-
ator slowly moves the car up and down the
engineer passes the cables through the
hands. By this means he Is able to de-
tact even single strand Of broken wire,
and IL such Is found. that elevator Is i'm
mediately thrown out of service and re-
mains SO until a new cable is put in place.
1t would seem, therefore, that IL an acct
dent to any one OF the elevators should
happen 1t would occur despite Our every
precautton.
This inspection Is made on every elevator
and its machinery daily during the session
OF Congress and once a week during recess,
and includes the inspection OF the cleanli-
ness of car and machinery and competency
Of the safety devices installed on the car.
After the inspection, the person making the
same writes his report on the card signs
his name to II, passes It through the hands
OF the chief engineer. who, If he has no
recommendations to make, forwards the
card approved to this office. whore it Is
placed on record"
