IL seems quite reasonable to believe

About $4,000 Men AT Work.
Governor Magoon said that there are
now about Is 900 laborers engaged IN the

In reply to a question concerning the
efficiency OF the isthmian police. the
governor said:
81 have no hesitation in saying that
there is not a house OF public gambling
or of i'll fame in the Canal Zone; there
have not been any such, nor will
there be.
''The stories concerning the $50 Marti-
nique women now in the zone are dis
credited by the conduct Of the women
themselves. They have beer watched
BY the police all the time siase their
arrival. There have been no arrests and
no complaints about them.
'tOf the whole number. leo are living
with men whom they declare to be their
husbands. They are attending TO their
ordinary household duties. as would
women of their own class in any peace
ful community. The majority OF the
remaining 40 are employ ed as domestic
servants In the households of residents
of the canal district. Some OF them
are in the employ of clergymen.

female labor? II Is as necessary there
as elsewhere. and IL we cannot dispense
with it we must employ such women as
We can get. and this Is also true of male
labor.

That is outside my province. The men

most of them being of cement.
1t was necessary at first to use the

were first repaired, however. More new
barracks are going up all the time, and
