TOUTING THE LOCK SYSTEM
Chief Engineer Stevens Up From
Panama and Doing Some
Talking.

Washington, Nav 29--"AIthough I have
little time to look into political condi-
lions in Panama. I do not think there is
danger of any serious revolution on the
IsthmUs Of Panama" Chief Engineer
Stevens Of the isthmian canal commission
said today The Panama railway was
never affected seriously by TevolutieniStS
on the isthmus, and even If there We're
to be an insuTreCJiOn I do not think the
canal zone would be involved in the dis
order. Any encounters would doubtless be
without the zone
Mr.. Stevens since his arrival in Wash
inEtOn has been IN conference with the
members of the commission and appeared
before the house committee on appTGpFia-
tons Mr. Stevens urged the deSirability
OF the lock type and made it plain that
the commission should know n { once what
type is to be constructed
In speaking Of the future Of canal work
Mr.. Stevens said:
I'VE have now come to the parting OF
the ways, and must know what sort of
canal we are to build. Just before L left
the isthmus the first Of the new IOCOmO-
tives and large cars arrived. and within
three months we shall have the necessary
equipment to make the dirt fly. So far
practically all the digging which has been
done was fOr~the purpose Of laying ira crls
and getting ready TO make use Of the
large cars and other machinery upon its
arrival Vow the plant for handling the
dirt is almost ready, and a halt must
soon be called if il is not known whether
the canal is TO be Of the lock OF sea level

GOVERNOR USES
HARSH LANGUAGE
New York Executive VetoeS
Bills Intended to Benefit
Albert 7. Patrick.

Albany, y Y, May 29-'Little less than
scandaIous," IS the phrase used by Gov
ernor Higgins in veto memorandum Is
sued tonight regarding the laws delay
in the case Of Albert 7. Patrick. convicted
Of the murder Of the aged millionaire,
William NJ. Rice, in New York City in 1900.
The governors veto is Of two bills intro
duced by Assemblyman Wade Of Chautau-
qua TO amend the code of criminal pro-
cedure so as to permit an appeal from an
order denying a motion for a new trial i'm
a criminal case on the ground Of newly
discovered evidence The bills, which
were introduced ia the senate also by Sen
atOr Smith, were generally understood to
nave reference especially to the Patrick
case, and the governor so describes them
IN his memorandum.
Intended to Benefit Patrick.
Waving the objection to the bills"
says Governor Higgins, that though gen
eral in form, they are special in their ap-
pHcaton and are intended to grant a right
Of appeal to Albert T. Patrick to obtain a
review review! OF an order, If such order be made,
DENYING his pending motion for a new
trial on newly discovered evidence. I dis
approve them for the reason that they in
/ trodUce a new procedure to our criminal
law and tend to defer indefinitely the ter
mlnat1On Of capital case.
Rice, Of whose murder Patrick is con-
NlCJeQs 0leQ on sept 3, 1900, nearly six
years ago. The laws delays in this case
seem to me little less than scandalous
If, in case of extreme hardship the judge
before whom the motion for new trial
is made denies the defendants motion

A Proper Amendment.
An amendment to the code Of Grim

made, which would permit defendant

/ in any case to present his motion to the
