Washington, Aug. 2S-In a letter
to Acting Secretary of War Oliver,
made public yesterday, Representa-
tive James A. Tawney of Minnesota,
chairman of the house committee on
appropriations, resents what he re
CARDS as the imputation by Chairman
Goethals of the isthmian canal com
mission, and Attorney General Bona
parte, that. congress had failed to ap-
propriate sufficient money to carry
on the work of digging the Panama
canal to the full capacity of the force
on the isthmus. Mr.. Tawney says
he was greatly surprised at the state
ment Of Colonel Goethals that in con-
sequence of the appropriations being
inadequate to meet expenditures it
had become necessary to lay off thou
sands of men, and even more sur
prised at a reported opinion by the
attorney general that under the
amendment of the urgent deficiency
appropriation act for eighteen months
the canal appropriation must be ap-
portioned to certain periods, which
appOrtiOnment could mot be waived
or modified except upon the happen
ing of some extraordinary emergency
or unusual circumstance which could
not be anticipated at the time of MAX
ing such apportionment"
Mr.. Tawney says:
IF the attorney general has given
an opinion to this effect it is evident
that the opinion was given without
carefully reading the section referred
to. The appropriations for the canal
expenditures for the fiscal year 1908
were made in accordance with esti-
mates submitted by the isthmian ca
nal commission through the secretary
of war and with the exception of the
amount estimated for the administra-
tive purposes of the canal zone gov
eminent, the appropriations are equal
in amount to the estimates submitted
If, therefore, this section did apply to
the canal expenditures, the committee
on appropriations in the last con-
greSs is in no way responsible for
the fact that the appropriations for
labor and equipment are inadequate. 70
Mr.. Tawney insisted that the canal
appropriations fell within the except
ed class, in that the construction OF
the canal was authorized by law and
the limit of cost fixed. The canal
appropriations are excepted from the
provision of law requiring the appor-
tiOnment of expenditures to certain
periods, Mr. Tawney argued, for
the reason that the appropriations
made for this fiscal year are not only
within. but far below the limit of cost
fixed by law. Mr.. Tawney added:
Work Can Go Ahead.
Il would suggest that Colonel
Goethals be advised to continue the
work as he has been doing regardless
of any apportionment that has been
made of the appropriations for canai
expenditures. The appropriations
| for labor and equipment will certainly
be adequate to meet the requirements
of the work as he desires to carry it
on until congress convenes next De
cember. He can then submit with
his estimates the additional amount
necessary to continue the work for
the remainder of this fiscal year and
there will be no question about con
gress making the additional appropri
alton, nor will there be any question

Brings Good Figure.
The best of California oranges,

unusually high price Of IS cents a
dozen. This is said to be the high
est figure ever demanded for oranges
in the capital city, and is certainly
much more than was asked last year
The eXorbitant price of fruit may be
due partly to an unpropitious season.
but is probably largely the effect OF

growers allow quantities of fruit to
spoil in order to restrict the supply

written For the Evening Capital by tn
West Annapolis Bard

The round world, sometime, launched
In space
TO run It's God-appointed race,
Still moves with undiminished pace
The world moves on.
A rolling sphere, by Gods own plan
A dwelling place for mortal man
Throughout his life's short battle
span,
The world moves on.
While rulers jcer the warning call
or bold handwriting on the wall,
And nations rise and nations fall,
The world moves on.
Though youthful visions fade away
And airy castles all decay,
As dreamings OF SINNER day,
The world movg on.
Should dire disasters cruel hand
Lay hold aud devastate the land,
From snow capped peak to golden
strand,
The world moves on.
Whatever destiny may throw
Upon Iife's evancsccnt glow,
Whate'er betide, come veal, come
woe,
