THREATENS TO QUIT
CHIEF ENGINEER STEVENS Or
POSES CONSTRUCTION OF
CANAL sY CONTRACT.
Determined to Sever III. Connection
With the Work IL Any Of the Bid.
Now Under Consideration Are Ae-
eepted-His Position Cause. Delay
in Deciding the Question Of Accept
ing One Of the omers Made.
ing One Of the offers Made.

Washington, Feb. S.-The admins
tration has been brought face to face
with the alternative of rejecting all
bids for the construction of the Pan
ANA canal by contract or losing tho
ervices of Chief Engineer John f.
Stevens. This is the reason for the
delay of President Roosevelt, Secre-
tary Taft and Chairman Shonts of
the canal commission in acting on the
Oliver bid. An effort has been made
to get Mr.. Stevens to change his mind,
but he has continued obdurate and
the indications are that the admins
traiion will accede to his request and
the construction will be continued by
the government
This information in regard 10 the
position taken by Mr.. Stevens comes
from source that cannot be doubt
ed, but it has created some surprise
on account of testimony given by Mr..
Stevens before the senate committee
on interoceanic canals a year ago. He
then said that he favored
Building the Canal by Contract.
He was OF the opinion that contrac-
tors would be in better position to
dea. with the question of laborers.
Since then he has gone over the canal
plans carefully and he now expresses
the belief that the canal can be con-
structed by the government within a
period of ten years. His friends have
advised him that if a contract is let
Tor construction he will be robbed OF
the credit of building this great water
way. Frequent exchanges of cable
grams between Washington and the
isthmus have resulted in demand
by Mr.. Stevens for the acceptance OF
his resignation II the contract Is
awarded.
1t is asserted by certain senators
who have taken an unusual interest in
all matters relating to the canal that
II one of the bids for canal construc-
tion is accepted It will mean that the
administration has determined to dis
pose of Mr.. Stevens as the director
Of the canal construction.

insanity Expert on the stand In Mur.
der Trial.

New York. Feb. 11.-After an inter.
esting but not sensational morning
session Of less than two hours dura-
tion 1t was agreed by counsel engaged
IN the trial Of Harry K. Thaw that
Mrs. Evelyn Nesbit Thaw. the wife Of
the defendant, should definitely step
aside for the time being to permit Of
the Introduction of competent testi.
mony tending to show the alleged un-
sound condition Of the prisoners
mind.
Mrs. Thaw was permitted to tell but
little because Of objections Of Mr..
Jerome. She did. however, declare
that Thaw only carried q revolver
while in New York city. One OF the
few bits Of testimony Mrs. Thaw was
allowed to give was regarding the
note she passed to her husband at
dinner in the Cafe Martin the night Of
the tragedy. Mr.. Jerome agreed to
produce the slip Of paper, which has
been held by him. 1t was identified
by Mrs. Thaw and read by Mr.. Del
mas as follows:
THE D. was here minute ago,
but went out again"
The "b" meant the "blackguard," :"
Mrs. Thaw said. and referred to Stan
ford White.
DIR. Charles Wagner. superintendent
Of the state hospital for the insane at
Binghampton. N. Y, followed Mrs
Thaw on the stand. DIR. Wagner said
when he first examined Thaw in the
Tombs the latter was suspicious and
feared he would be declared insane.
Answering a hypothetical question
asked by Mr.. Delmas DR.. Wagner said
that Thaw did not know his act was
wrong.
