CANAL IS FULL OF WOES
Some More designations Said To Be
Coming.

Washington Especially - Another
reorganization Of the 1sthmian Canal
Commission is under consideration
by the President and Secretary of
War Taft. Decentralization has again
struck the Panama Canal workers,
and 1t is said that there is to be
a new deal all around.
Lieutenant Colonel George w.
Goethals, of the Army Engineer
| Corps, who succeeded John F. Stew
ems as chief engineer on the canal,
after having been on tht isthmus
less than four months, has, II is said,
found the job too big for him.
1t is reported that he has applied
for a four-month leave of absence.
and has asked to be relieved of lfis
assignment as a member of the 18TH
mian Canal Commission and chief
engineer of the work Major David
Du B. Gaillard, also an army engi-
neer, and second to Colonel Goethals
on the canal commission, has also,
1t is said, asked to be relieved.
Jackson Smith, of Cincinnati, head
of the department of labor and quar-
ters and a member of the commits
sion, who is now in this country on
leave of absence, is reported to have
rendered his resignation, and the
same report comes from the isthmus
regarding Colonel Beird, who has
been in charge of railways and trans
portation.
The resignation of three members
of the commission would. of course,
require its entire reorganization, and
would be a source of considerable
chagrin and disappointment to both
the President and Secretary Taft,
who had hoped that in putting the
canal work in the charge of army
engineers the problem of construc-
tion had been solved The trouble
arises largely from a general spirit
of dissatisfaction and Generalization
which spread among the canal en-
ployes with the departure of Chief
Engineer Stevens. There does not
seem to be any special complaint
against the army officers, but things
have not run so smoothly and in
terest in the work on the part of
the men has tagged.
The bottom of the whole trouble is
said to be politics. The real reason
for the resignation of John f. Stew
ens--a step which he did not
want to take-has never been made
public. He was making an excellent
record, and was fast pushing the ex-
cavation work up to a million yards
month Then he noticed that the
class of men being sent to him from
the United States was deteriorating.
They were mostly incompetent, and
chosen, not for their capacity in any
line of work, but apparently because
of their political pull. He protested,
declaring his reputation was at
stake, and that he would be compell-
ed to leave the work If the policy
of which he complained was kept up.
There was no material improvement,
however, and finally Stevens re-
signed.
