BEFORE 1916 SAYS COMMITTEE

the opinion is expressed that the lab
orers will be drawn from the white
and black races because Chinese lab
or is not wanted"
1t is recognized by the officials of
the canal, the report says that while
the Chinese coolie would meet all the
requirements of intelligence, strength
and vitality, his introduction would
lead to difficulties of administration
and segregation which it seems de-
sirable to avoid unless the confront
ing of the subject became necessary.
The principal difficulty with the lower
class of labor observed by the COM
mittees was that Of securing efficient
gang bosses from the ranks, the gen.
eral scale of intelligence appearing
to be not quite equal to the demand.
OF the officials and the skilled work
ers, the report says:
1--WE wish to call attention to the
sympathy with the work and to the
zeal and intelligence of the men with
whom we came directly in contact.
They were young men and picked men.
OuS anu all, tney spoke WIN unneSl-
tating faith in recommendation of the
plan of the work, of the ability of the
chief engineer, and of his fidelity and
completing the canal upon the lines
plotting the canal upon the lines pro-
posed. And they bore witness to the
existence of a like faith in those I'M
der them and competition among them
as to who should make the best show
ing for his days work, if an artisan,
or for his squad or department if he
was of higher grade
I'VE believe that the men in charge
have solved the labor problem and we
have only words of praise for what
they have accomplished. They have
created an esprit de corps which has
permeated the whole body of men un-
der them, and will lead to a Jealous
prosecution of the work. 1t is of the
utmost Importance that the spirit thus
inculcated should be fostered and en-
couraged by all in whose hands the
execution of this stupendous task will
fall"

Won Essen, who has lived here several
months disappeared suddenly several
days ago.. Shortly before his disap-
pearance local parties received letters
from the German Consul at st. Paul
inquiring as to his whereabouts and
imparting the information that he was
a married man, having been married at
Hanover, Germany on January II,
1906.
Won Essen came hero about year

Next, this most significant fact that

first but only touched near the close,
to wit: South Carolina, only few

lew York, March 16-Conditlons in
general In the Panama canal zone are
declared to be extremely favorable for
,mpletion of the canal within the
eight years ending Jan. i, 1916, as es-
timated by the engineers in charge Of
the work, in the opinion of the COM
n.ittees from commercial clubs in Bos-

who arrived here after a visit to the
isthmus. This opinion is embodied IN
series of reports. approved by all
members of the party.
The committees found, according to
their reports, that the greatest him
ORANGES to rapid progress on the canal
at the present time is a lack of ade-
quate dumping facilities. This is said
to be due to a shortage Of cars for the
transportation of refuse from the steam
shovel plant, which, as a result, is
worked at only half of it's capacity.
The committee believes, however, that
this condition is being remedied as
rapidly as possible, and that when the

The affair has created considerable
of sensation among the friends of

pressed that Won Essen would enter

The second wife, who is more gen.

A very interesting mass meeting
was held in the assembly hall Thurs
day after school. Ray Duggan acted
as chairman and told why some steps
towards forming an athletic associa-
ton should be taken. Mr.. Duggan
quoted Prof. Kelly who thot there was
an athletic association Mr.. SEEMING
that it was an overwhelming surprise
to him to find high school of this
size without one. Miss Allen, that
thot there was one. He said this was
the proper time, because in the fall
the pupils were busy with football
or basketball and track team work
would commence. He said that such
an association would do away with
all individual plunging, would hold up
the reputation of the school and the
purpose was to have it on solid foun-
dations. Mr.. SEEMING spoke on the
successfulness of such plan in other
schools. He said that when any
school wished to carry on athletics
it should have firm basis and that
money was an essential for athletics.
Mr.. Stebbins spoke of the difficulties
that would have to be surmounted
The officers would have their hands
full and must have the talent to car
ry it thru regardless of other things.
They would have a constant fight with
the different teams to keep from run
ming into debt and would have to
have backbone to tell the manager
of the team to go chase himself"
He proposed that a temporary presi-
dent and secretary be chosen and
that the president appoint board to
draw up the constitution. Ray Dug
gan was elected temporary president,
Theo. Wells temporary secretary. The
committee appointed was Edna Coop
er, James Kennedy, Ralph Perry,
Klein Van Alstine and Margaret Faw-
cett. AS soon as the constitution is
adopted president, vice president,
secretary, treasurer and manager will
be elected.
