Oliver Wins Panama Canal
Contract on Condition.
MUST FIND A PARTNER
New York Mans Credentials Found
to Be Unsatisfactory and He Was "a
Turned Down at Conference
at White House.

A Washington special says: As
lhe result OF an extended conference
at the white house Friday, it was
decided to reject the bid of Oliver
and Bangs, who proposed to COM.
plete the construction of the Panama
canal for CTS per cent Of the total
estimated cost, in so far as Arson
M. Bangs of New York is concerned.
While no official statement was
given out, it can be authoritatiyeiy@
stated that if William J. Oliver Of
Kroxville, Tenn, can enter into H.
satisfactory arrangement with some
ether contractor, who is financially
responsible, he will be given the big
contract.
The fact that the MacArthur1G Giles
pie company of New York, whose bid
was 1875 per cent was represented
at the conference, leads many to be-
i'ieve that combination may be
formed between that firm and Oliver
st is known that the Macarthur Gill;
lespie company has convinced Press
ident Roosevelt and Secretary Taft of ]
it's responsibility and the canal COM
mission officials are satisfied that OH
yer Is able to carry out his end OF
the agreement. There would have
been no question as to awarding the
contract to Oliver and Bangs had
the credentials presented by Bangs
proven as satisfactory as those fur
nished by Oliver. :S 81
The decision means that Mr. Oliver;
will be given chance to take soIae
ether contractor into partnership. Ths
canal commission. with this require
ment met, will not undertake to dic
trate to him who this contractor shall
be. 1sSsMsSs M
The rejecting OF all bids was dis
cussed at fridays cabinet mseting
and this decision had been practically
agreed upon before the night confer
ence. If Mr.. Oliver refuses to consider;
the contract after the rejection olss

Is stated, had no influence with thes

After the cabinet meeting Mr.. OIL

and It is admitted by his represents
tives that he will ask the MacArsS

Purchase More Stamps.

A committee from the Newberry
chamber of commerce has been inves-
tigating the matter of free mail de-
livery for the town. This committee
has recommended that all merchants
in paying their small bills will do

ev orders. This request is made OF
account of the fact that the revenue
Cerived from the sale of stamps only
enters into the calculation Of postof-
