If the commission would. of course,
iequire its entire reorganization, and
would be q source of considerable
lhagrin and disappointment to both
he President and Secretary Taft,
Who had hoped that in putting the
anal work in the charge of army
engineers the problem of construc-
ion had been solved. The trouble
arises largely from a general spirit
IF dissatisfaction and generalization
which spread among the canal en-
ployes with the departure of Chief
Engineer Stevens. There does not
TEEN TO be any special complaint
against the army officers, but things
have not run so smoothly and in
lerest In the work on the part of
he men has tagged.
The bottom of the whole trouble is
laid to be politics. The real reason

want to take-has never been made
pubiiS. ne was tudhluS al cACSilCHl
record, and was fast pushing the ex-
eavation work up to a million yards
4 month. Then he noticed that the
class of men being sent to him from
The United States was deteriorating.
They were mostly incompetent, and
chosen, not for their capacity in any
line of work, but apparently because
of their political pull. He protested,
declaring his reputation was at
stake, and that he would be compell-
ed to leave the WORK If the policy
of which he complained was kept up.
There was no material Improvement,
however, and finally Stevens re-
signed.

Chairman of the Capitol Commission,

Harrisburg. Pa. Especially - The

pleted the taking of testimony Fri
day, with the examination of former
Governor Stone, of Pittsburg, pres
ident of the Capitol Building Com
mission. by which the contract was
let to Payne e. Co. for the construc-
ton OF the capitol. Mr.. Stone was
also president of the board OF
grounds and buildings by virtue of
his Office of governor in 1902 when
the Pennsylvania Construction Com
pany was given the contract for me-
tallic furniture. This contract was
atterward made so elastic as to en-
able the Pennsylvania Construction
Company to supply 100000 worth
OF metallic furniture for the capitol
which the commissions experts say
could have been furnished at a prof
it for s350,OOO.
In the course of his testimony for
mer Governor Stone said:
I'VE discovered that Huston was
visionary, While a good architect he
was not a good builder He was a
dreamer, impractical. and we found
that he had no care if he exceeded
the appropriation of 100000 for
the building. II became a question
If Huston could bind the commissios
to large expenditures by alterations
in his plans. This, I think, he would
have done had il not been for Ber-
nard Green, the commissions super
vising architect, who acted as a
check on Architect Huston and pre-
vented him from consummating his
wild dreams for a capitol to cost
S25, 100000. We bore with Huston
as best we could and kept constant
watch on him without having an
open rupture. We did not care to
get rid OF Huston and delay the
work with litigation"
