vens is against a high lock at this point
and bases his opposition on the results OF
the borings now being made 1t is be-
lieved the canal will be sea level from La
Boca to Mirafiores. There may be, how
ever an alternative proposition for twen-
ty-five foot instead of a thirty-five foot
lock at La Boca. the latter proposed by the
mining engineers commission. A flaw in
the mechanism of the lock, however, would
bring danger of flood and might cause the
inundatfon of Panama City and vicinity.
Engineers are marking cut a new site for
the town of Gatun. as the present town, ac-
cording to the plans adopted. will ulti-
mately be under water.

Alleged Collusion of Officers.

1T is further brought to the attention of
the court that these officers, together with
certain city officers, entered into and were
in collusion to protect violators of the
election laws in the aforesaid election"
Before calling the grand jury Judge Null
Inns reviewed the proceedings in his court
on the petition of the League for Honest
Elections for the appointment of a grand
jury to investigate alleged franchise frauds
at the city election and for the removal of
the sheriff, coroner and district attorney.
He said:
THE showing of the Honest Elections
League was such as to warrant the court
in finding that the grossest frauds were
committed on election day of May 10 last;
that bold and brazen attempt was made
TO steal the election, and, the face of
the returns, succeeded, by debauching of
the ballot boxes and the corruption of pub
lie officials, in stealing valuable assets of
the community; that public officials charg
ed with the ferreting out of crime and the
punishment of criminals were either par
ties to this outrage or were SO negligent
in the discharge of their duties as to make
them partceps criminis.'

OYSTER BAY. July 7-Important steps
calculated to materially develop the eff
cheney of the army were taken today by
President Roosevelt and Secretary Taft at
Sycamore Hill. In his last annual message
to Congress the President said: "The num-
Der of posts in which the army Is kept in
time of peace should be materially dimin-
!shed and the posts that are left made
correspondingly larger"
This recommendation Is to be carried out
at ouce- Seven brigade posts, to be COM
manded by brigadier generals, are to be es-
tablished. Two others are desired, but the
funds at the disposal of the Secretary may
not be sufficient to allow of their equip
ment during the present fiscal year. The
posts which the President and Secretary
tentatively decided today to enlarge to
brigade posts are those at Fort Reilley.

COLEMAN WINS 1T.
Gains Point in His Fight with Clay
Center.

me injunction suit which was the
cause of Attorney General Coleman
being hanged in effigy at Clay Center
few days ago, was. decided by Judge
k1mban of Manhattan in the Clay
county district court yesterday in favor
OF Coleman & Williams. The tenn
porary injunction against the city to
stop the sale of the electric light plant
bonds was not finally allowed, but
Judge kimbal outlined what his de-
cision would be. and withheld action
simply to allow the attorneys for the
city to file a supplemental brief.
While technically the victory was
for Coleman & Williams. the attorneys
for the city of Clay Center think they
won substantial decision, because
Judge Kimball sustained the constitu-
tionality of the law under which the
bonds were issued, and only granted
the injunction on the ground that the
publication of the election proclama-
ton had been made in the same issue
of the paper with the ordinance call
ing the election.
Attorney General Coleman made a
lcng argument against the constitu-
tionality of the law, although he, as a
member Of the board of school fund
commissioners, has cooperated in the
purchased of bonds for the school
fund issued under this law.
The proba bility is that the city will
back up in its proceedings. have the
ordinance and election proclamation
reprinted and revote the bonds.
City Attorney Hardness. who repre-
scented Clay Center in the case. assist
ed by F. B. Dawes of Leavenworth, is
ir Topeka today. He said:
''The attorneys for the city in this
case feel that the court is in error in
his ruling concerning the publication
of the proclamation, and we have been
gwen time to present additional au-
thcrities on that point. However, the
judge indicated what his rulings
would be. We believe that we could
reverse this ruling in the supreme
court if we cared to take the case up.
But we are inclined to think that the
quickest and least. expensive method
election. and revote bonds It would
not take very long. and the object of
Coleman & Williams seems to be sim
ply to gain time, and try to wear the
city council out. and compel it to grant
a franchise to the Williamson firm.
We have not yet decided what we
will do about those lawsuits against
the Williamson company. They are
being talked of, and may be brought.
! am not able to say at this time.
The most renarka Bile part of the
pl cceedings was when Attorney Gen
eral Coleman made a long and very
elaborate argument, and proved to his
own satisfaction that the law under
which these bonds were issued is I'M
constitutional. The fact is, however
that Mr.. Coleman has been buying
under this law and has found no fault
with them. But he comes right uE
there to his home town, and fights his
home people and tries to defeat their
will by having the law declared in
valid"
