No Canal Contract Award to Anybody,
Says Secretary Loeb.

Washington, Jan. 31.-The following
statement has been made public at
the White House by Secretary Loeb:
Reports in the papers seem to in
dictate a belief that the canal contra ct
has been conditionally awarded to Mr..
oliver. This is not SO. No decision has
been made even that the contract will
be awarded to any of the bidders. Mr..
divers bid was so hopeleSSly defective
that it could not be even considered,
and time was given him to complete it
in shape that will enable 1t to receive
consideration.
eff it is put into such shape it will
be considered together with the bid al
ready made by the Gillespie cArthur
company, WHICH may itself be altered,
and then whichever bid, after the mose
careful examination, seems most ad-
vantageous may be taken, or both bids
rejected and the canal be constructed
under the direct supervision of the
government. In such case, the gov
eminent would, wherever it chose, use
contra ctorS simply as agents.
1.-THE real object in contracting the
work is to have assembled a large
number of the best specialists in each
class of work, and the prime consider
alton will be the ability and fitness
shown in a variety of directions by the
men akihg the bid. The president
and the commission would not even
consider 4 bid of merely one or two
men.
1.-The work is already going well.

WANTS FEDERAL LAW.
President Would Protect Man i'm Uni
form From Discrimination.

washington, Jan. 31.-f President
Roosevelt can bring such a thing about,
congress will pass law which VIII
prevent discrimination against the uni
form of the army or the navy. Several
cases involving this question are pend
ing in state courts. but the more re-
cent case of the refusal of skating
rink proprietor at Plattsburg, N. Y. to
admit two soldiers in uniform, which
was sustained by Judge Everest of the
city court, has given an impetus to the
movement set on foot by the president
some time ago to insist that the uni
form shall be recognized in all public
places.
An interesting phase of the Platts-
burg case developed today when it be-
came known that Judge Everest, re-

grounds on which he based his decision,
maintaining in effect that the case was
not one within the meaning of the bill
of rights. affecting the question of race,
creed or color He frankly expressed
the opinion, however, that the matter
should be taken up by congress and
bill passed making it an offense to dis
crininate against the uniform of ting
army or the navy This letter was re-
ferred by the president to Chairman
Jenkins of the house judiciary commit
tee who took a rather conservative
view as to the right of congress to deal
with the question DuC. suggesting Indl
the opinion of the judge advocate gen
eral and the attorney general might be
sought in reference thereto. Chairman
Jenkins at the same time related two
instances which had come under his
personal observation where proprietors
of public cafes had gone to guests and
notified them to wear their coats or
else leave the premises. This, Chair
man Jenkins remarks, was not dis
elimination against the guests in ques-
ton, but was an objection to their
mode of dress, a position in which he
thinks the proprietors were justified.
However, acting on Chairman Jen-
kins' suggestion. the whole subject has
been referred to the attorney general
for his action.
In his Endorsement, Judge Advocate
General Davis says:
