HIS CHOICE NOTKNOWN
PRESIDENT TO NAME JUSTICE
OF PEACE IN FEW DAYS.

President Roosevelt will announce the
choice of a justice of the peace Of the
District within a few days. Attorney Cen
eral Bonaparte submitted to the President
today all the papers that have been filed
at his department. together with a recon-
mendation for the appointment of a GER
tain candidate. The President desired
that further inquiries be made. and will
not announce decision until the infor-
nation he desires has been furn' shed him.
There has been a pretty well-ba cked
story that Attorney General Bonaparte
would recommend one Of the two colored
candidates for justice of the peace, but 1t
is now considered unlikely that a colored
applicant will be appointed II such
should be the case the appointee will be
James A. Cobb. a colored lawyer.
The President and Attorney General
Bonaparte both recognize that an appoint
ment should be made at an early date. So
as to relieve the congestion of business
caused by the death of Lewis l. O'Neal
and the crowd ng of work upon the other
justices. Justice O'Neal has been dead
several months. and the vacancy would
have bean filed before this had oppor-
tunity been afforded the Attorney Cen
eral to take it up with the President
The known candidates for the office of
justice of the peace are Jas B. McLaueh-
son S. Taylor. Robt. V. Hughes, s. S. X.

street. He was about thirty-seven years
of age and the news of his death was
shock to his fellow craftsmen because of
Its suddenness. The immediate cause of
death Is said to have been congestion of
the kidneys.
Secretary James McIver of the griev-
ance committee. said Mr.. Mccarthy was
at meeting of the committee last Tues
day and appeared to be in the best of
health. His demise was therefore entirely
unexpected.

and also Of the Plumbers Union will be
held this afternoon when resolutions of
regret will be adopted and other suitable
action taken. Arrangements for ,he fu-
nneral will also be made later today and

China sank last night alongside her dock
In this port. Her sea cocks must have
been opened, but now no one seems able
to ascertain.
Her main deck on the port side is awash
with several feet Of water. She sank and
keeled over on her port side. SO that the
main deck Is at an angle of about forty
five degrees.
Her engines and dynamos are under
water She Is resting on mud bottom.
but the problem of saving her will be that
of righting the vessel and preventing her
from completely turning turtle.
Just after O'Clock the steward noticed
that the water was coming in over the
lower deck All day the liner had been
loading Hour. Ave or six hundred tons Of
which are being slowly turned into paste
In the hold. Insta0tly the steward gave
the alarm.
Oficers at dinner hurried to their sta
lions. All hands manned the pumps. but
1t was too late to save her from sinking
and every person went ashore. She con-
t1nued to list and sank. and by 8 o'clock
her port stern was resting on the bottom
OF the harbor. the tops of the n.asts lean

came ashore. All lights were turned Off
She sank at nearly high tide and the star
board side Of the main deck is still about
ten feet above water. The steamer is
valued approximately at a million dollars
She was booked to sail next Thursday

REPLY MADE TO MISS BEEKS
CRITICISMS OF CANAL ZONE
CONDITIONS CoNTRADICTED.

The isthmian canal commission has
made a careful investigation of the criti-
cisms of conditions on the isthmus con-
tained in the report of Miss Gertrude
Beeks to the National Civic Federation
These criticisms were referred by the
chairman to each member of the commits
sion and to the head of the commissary
department of the Panama Railway Com
pany. from whom written replies have
been received and compiled.
These constitute in general a contra
diction of Miss Beeks statements The
truth of some criticisms as APPLYING to
past conditions is admitted but ii is de-
ciared that the conditions have been i'm
proved. The scarcity of good cooks and
ta!lors is confessed. but il is said that

MR.. STEFFENS' APOLOGY.
For Bringing in Speaker Cannon.
Name in Hermann's Case.

The open letter of L. White Busbey.
Speaker Cannon's secretary, to Lincoln
Steffens. which was published In The
Evening Star several weeks ago. con-
corning allegations made by Mr. Steffens
against the Speaker. has been replied to
by Mr.. Steffens. In the current issue of
the American Magazine occurs the fol-
lowing:
To the Editor of The American Magazine ::
Please give me good and conspicuous
space in which to correct an error in my
article entitled THE Tanning of the West"
IN the September numbes- of The Ameri-
can Magazine. Mr.. L. White Busbey, the
secretary to the Speaker of the House of
Representatives.. called my attention to it
n letter published as widely as the
article:
In summing up the case of Representa-
tive Hermann Mr.. White Busbey SAYS
you make the deliberate and unqualified
statement that Speaker Cannon and the
ring that runs the House put Hermann

committee, and there he was a thorn in the
side of Secretary Hitchcock Ii you had
taken the pains to look over the commit =
tee list Of the Fifty eighth Congress and
also the Ffity-ninth. you would have seen
that Mr.. Herman did not have a place on
the public lands committee of the House
n either Congress, and that there was nc
excuse IN 1act Tor dragging the Speakers
name into your a~ticle.'
Mr.. Busbey's language is harsh. but sc
was mine, and he was right. whereas was
wrong. l have written to him acknowledge
Ing this. and l explained to him how It
happened. got my misinformation from

up the record and verify or correct the
statement. l forgot to do this
You will understand, and so will Mr..
Susbey. who was once newspaper re-
porter himself. Others will not and. of
course, offer this only as an explanation.
not as an excuse. There Is no excuse for
me, and all I have to offer by way of ex-
tenuation Is my record as careful re-
porter. In five years .. difficult investiga
tion and delicate. dangerous writing this
is the second serious mistake that | have
had to confess( and we made I'D our
minds at the beginning, as you know. not
to wriggle out Of such errors, not to bury
our corrections In some out-of-the-way
part of the magazine but to "eat dit .
That was the phrase we used So saw that

that runs the House" was false. / apoi.

mission be printed where all our readers

CoPAZUYA MINING COMPANY.
Statement by a. a. Darneille as to
Charges.

Hopewell II. Darneille. formerly assessor
of the DistrOct. one of the members OF
the board of directors of the Capuzaya
Mining Company, in speaking of the
charges recently filed. which resulted in
the arrest of Edward c. Bryan. the treas
urer and the issuance of a warrant for
Eugene Davis. the vice president, said
there were several points in the indict-
ment which in justice to the company
ought to be cleared up at once.
First, he explained, he was satisfied
there had been no overissue of stock.
and that recently a committee of the
board Of directors, consisting of two MEM
bers who took this action and one other,
examined the stock books and found
them in absolutely correct condition. In
the second place Mr.. Darneille said. he
felt a grave injustice had been done to
Mr.. Bryan, especially in the charges
against him. Mr. Bryan had been fore
most fighter in defense of the assets
of the company throughout, and MIR.
Darneille stated his belief in the in
tegrity of the treasurer. whom he
characterized as of the highest type. and
an honest square business man.
''As a matter Of fact the charges In the
Indictment gave very erroneous idea OF
the condition Of the CapuZaya. mine Mr..
Darneille remarked. Everybody connect
ed with the company was aware that all
of the stock that Mr.. Davis sold was his
own stock and not treasury stock. and
that all of the treasury stock of the COM
pany was in possession of the company
and was intact.
The contrac with Mr.. Davis pro-
vided that. as a consideration for the
property. the total issue Of stock should
be given him, and that he should turn
In to the company a cerain number Of
shares to be held as treasury stock,
and should. in addition. out of the re-
turns from the sale of a certain amount
Of his own stock, sink the shaft at the
mine a certain number of feet, and
provide the necessary machinery
1T was not provided that he should use
all the money he received from the sale
of his own stock for the company. but
should do only the amount Of work
agreed upon.''
Mr.. Darneille further said that, SO far
as he knows Mr.. Davis had carried out
this contract. The shaft was sunk and
most of the machinery was either on the
ground or on the way there. He felt alb
solutely certain that Mr.. Bryan's ac-
counts were correct, and prophesied that
the result would be vindication for him
and very probably hurt to some of those
bringing the charges.
