HIGHER HON0RS FOR
CONGRESSMAN FOSTER {?
What Is This Political Plot Which Is
Being Hatched Up in the Vermont
Association in Boston?

Boston, Mass, May 11.-Before 15o
members of the Vermont Association Of
Boston. Congressman David j. Foster Of
Vermont last night gave q most graphic
account OF the situation on the Panama
canal az seen by him personally on a re-.
cent trip to the isthmus made by con.
Vressional committee. Congressman Eos
ter spoke over an hour and by means Of
maps and stereopticon views gave his an.
dience an excellent idea Of the scope Of
the work already done and contcm-
plated
The address was delivered at smoke
talk at the Hotel Westminster which
was set upon this date as being the an
niversary Of the capture Of Fort Ticon-
deroga by Ethan Allen. Among the
guests last night was ex-Lieut.-Gov.
Martin r. Allen Of Ferrisburgh, descen-
dant OF the intrepid Ethan.
President Arthur 4. Robinson in intro.
ducing Congressman Foster said that he
knew little Of Vermont politics but he
had heard that the state was likely to
confer higher honors upon the guest
Of the evening The reference was greet
cd with applause and at the conclusion
of the address Mr.. Foster was given a
warm vote Of thanks.
Aside from the very able presentation
Of the engineering problems involved in
the work at Panama and o historical
review Of the past, Mr.. Foster gave his
auditors some inside information as to
the real causes for the retirement Of Mr..
Wallaccg the first engineer in charge and
later Mr. Stevens, Mr. Wallace retired,
not because he wished to accept a posi-.
ton elsewhere which would command
greater salary or because railroads teased
him away, but because his wife, who was
with him feared that neither of them
would live TO see the canal finished. Mr.,
Stevens retired because in his devoted
lattention to the administrative duties he
had literally worn hiBself out physical
ily He was unable to sleep and he left
the work only because he absolutely re-
qnired the rest. Congressman Foster said
Chat everybody liked Mr.. Stevens and he
has performed his duties 80 well that the
work hereafter at Panama will be much
easier and tile canal will be ready for use
in the time estimated by the engineer,
which is about six years.
