AS to the qualification that a senator

as securing votes for venal considerations.

WALLACE FOR CONTRACT SYSTEM

Former Engineer Says Canal Can he
Built Cheaper that Way.
WASHINGTON, Feb. John Findley
Wallace, former chief engineer OF tho canal
commission, today concluded his testimony
before the senate canal commission except
in relation to the type OF canal, to be taken
up after the report OF the board of consult
ing engineers has been made public. He
says the red tape necessary to the system
involved in governmental work compelled
him to favor the contract plan of building
the canal In order to expedite it's compile
ton. He thought the man in charge OF the
work on the isthmus should be the undis-
puted head, with the governor of the zone
second and the man who has charge of the
procuring of supplies and men third In au-
thority. Headquarters OF the commission
should be on the isthmus. Mr., Wallace said,
and the harder the communication with
Washington the less the work would be re-
tarded. He thought the engineer in charge
was not paid an excessive salary.
Mr.. Morgan suggested Mr.. Stevens was
receiving as much as all six of the sena-
tors In the committee room and Mr. Wallace
replied: Yes, and presume he earns it,"
He thought the chairman of the commits
sion If he was to live in the United States
was receiving too much, but said he could
not speak confidently concerning that.
The hearing was adjourned until Friday
