Correspondence.

Special Correspondence.
Washington. d. c., Jan. 12.-There
is another row on In Panama canal
circles.
The rumpus is between the chair
man of the canal commission and the
chief engineer, and 1t may lead to
the resignation of Chairman Theo.
Shonts or of Engineer John f. Ste
vens. At present the two are work.
ing together under a truce patched
up by President Roosevelt.
Matters did not come to an open
rupture until Immediately after
President Rooseveit's departure from
the strip. 1t will be recalled that the
presidents visit was followed by
some reforms in the way of a reor-
ganization of some of the depart
ments and a Strengthening out of
several questions of jurisdiction.
Briefly stated what the president did
was to divide all the canal admins
tration into seven executive depart
ments, and to order that all these de-
partments report directly TO Mr..
Shonts. who, In addition. was given
the authority to hire or fire in them.
The effect of this was to reduce the
chief engineer, from being second in
authority to the chairman, to a plane
with seven other department chiefs.
He had formerly been in supreme
control of all canal work matters in
the absence of Chairman Shonts, and
when the latter was on the strip was
his chief lieutenant. The new order
stripped him of all these extraordi-
nary powers.
In company with six other officials
he was presented on the day of the
presidents departure with a general
order from the chairman defining
just what his authority would in tho
future be.
|, The story of what occurred has
just reached Washington. There was
| an interview between Stevens anc
Shonts which recalls the historic in
terview between Taft and Wallace
The chief difference was that Stevens
used the strong language.
Damned incompetents" was {
term applied to some of Mr.. Shonts
assistants and staff. AS for taking
| orders from them and having t.
have his work subjected to them
Mr.. Stevens would have none of 1t
and said so plainly.
Mr.. Shonts and Mr.. stevens trav
eled Immediately to the states. Blu
they Travelled by different boats. Mr.
Shonts had the presidents ear first
Then Stevens had an interview.
Just what occurred at the White
House is not known. 1t is under
stood that Mr.. Stevens rendered hi
resignation, telling the presiden
that he did not propose to be respon
sible for work which he did not hav
a free hand to perform. II Is SAT-
that Mr. Stevens recalled to Presi
dent Roosevelt certain promises whicl
the latter had made to him when h
took the position as successor to wal
lace, promises that he should not b
hampered by unnecessary red tape
and that he should have all the au
thority needed to carry on the worI
with energy and expedition,
All that is known as to the presl
dents talk is the result. Mr.. Ste
vens promised to go back to the 18th

YERKES SAYS HE Is NOT
AGAINST CHEAP ALCOHOL

Superior, Wis, Jan. 12.-The Tele-
gram today prints a report by Com
missioner of Internal Revenue Yerk-
es, made by request of President
Roosevelt, as n result of allegations
that newspaper had made against
the Yerkes department. The paper
charged that Yerkes opposed the en-
actment of the law permitting the dis
tilling OF denatured alcohol and that
the law was impracticable because 1t
compelled the distller to produce at
least 500 gallons day. In his re-
port to the president, Yerkes contra
dicted both assertions. He declared
that a still may produce five gallons
or five thousand and denies having
attempted to head-off the legislation

Paris. Jan. 12.-The encyclical is
sued yesterday by the Pope seeming
ly puts an end to the hopes of the
moderates of all shades of opinion
that the church eventually would
accommodate itself to the new condi-
tions in France. There is not the
faintest suggestion that the French
bishops will not obey the orders from
Rome.
The consequences are likely to be
deplorable from every point of view.
The majority of the clergy and the
Catholics generally recognize that
practically there is no chance for the
church to emerge victorious from
the struggle. On the contrary, the
lot of the church will be harder. Even
Juarez. the socialist leader, refers re-
gretfully to the consequences which
the papal encyclical will entail He
says: 1.-THE Pope desires to save dog
ma and hierarchy. In reality he is
preparing their ruin. Attila was the
scourge of God; Plus X is the scourge
of the church"

Denies He Is UnfdvOrable to De-
natured Alcohol Production.

Washington, ID. c.. Jan. 1.-THE
Isthmian Canal commission today
will open bids of private contractors
for the completion of the Panama
canal. In the opinion, of Chairman
Shonts, 1t is the greatest task of mod
ern times and is I'm the highest degree
exceptional in the magnitude and
complexity of the enterprise. The
basis on which the contract will be
awarded Is the per centage of cost
for completing the work.
Bidders are required to accompany
their proposals with a certified check
of 100000. and the successful bidder
is required to give bond in the sum
of $2,000,000 to protect the govern
ment from losses. The government
expressly reserves to itself the con.
troll of sanitation, of engineering and
of the department of substance and
quarters, as they are directly con.
nected with the health and we'll be-
ing of the canal employees. The right
of rigid supervision is also retained.
"In no event" said Shonts, "car
any contractor be allowed to max,
these departments an Independent
source of profit"
Only Four Bids Made.

man for the position the negroes of
the south have taken on the question

flying In the face of caste feeling
among 100000 of southern whites

thirds or three-fourths of the north

negro nor the deep and vital charac-
ter of the issue involved.
The attitude of the administration
I'm this social question has been the
cause of a great and notable change
in the demeanor of the negroes
throughout the south and the great ,r
question of relationship between the
races cannot much longer be kept
down.
