ALL BIDS TURNED DOWN
CANAL CONSTRUCTION TO BE
CONTINUED BY GOVERNMENT
AS HERETOFORE.

Washington, Feb. 27.-It has been
decided not to accept any bids for
building Of the Panama canal. This
announcement was made following the
meeting of the cabinet and after the
president had been in conference for
an hour or, more with Secretaries Taft
and Root.
1t was decided that there should be
no advertisement inviting proposals
for constructing the canal under the
plan as first laid down, but there will
be a full consideration of the whole
subject before determining upon a
change of the present procedure.
In his letter to the chairman OF the
canal commission instructing that
body to reject the bids for the con-
struction of the canal the president
states that the purpose of the con-
tract was to secure in the building of
the canal the services Of the t,
most experienced and most skilled
contractors In the country at the
least risk to them and at the least
expense to the government. This pur-
pose failed, he stated, and there was
no longer any object for doing the
work by contract.

Montreal, Feb. 27--The Hochelaga
Protestant school on Prefontalne
street, In the French section of the
city, caught fire during the afternoon
while filled with pupils and before the
firemen in the nearest station could
reach the spot many children had been
smothered to death. The rescue was
quick, but at o'clock, although some
thirty children had been taken out
alive, it is feared that in the top story
there are, In addition to the bodies
taken out, twenty more dead, includ-
ing O teacher, Miss Maxwell. 1t Is
stated that all the teachers except
Miss Maxwell saved themselves as
well as the larger pupils. 1t was due
to Miss Maxwells heroism in rushing
up stairs to save the younger pupils
that she lost her life.
At $3.50 o'clock the nineteenth body
had been brought out, all Of them kim
dergarten pupils, excepting that OF
Miss Maxwell
There were go children In the
school when the fire started.
The fire broke out In the furnace
room and spread with great rapidity.
It was gotten under control shortly,
although there was a lack Of water on
account of the breaking down OF one

Denver, Feb. 27-Benjam;n G..
Wright, solicitor for the International
Correspondence school of Scranton,
Pa, Is held prisoner in the city Jail
here ON a charge of murder, having
confessed to Chief of Police Delaney
In the presence OF witnesses that he
poisoned his wife and his daughter,
who were found dead in their home in
this city. Infatuatlcn for Stella Good,
from whom the police claim to have
learned that Wright had neglected his
family, is supposed to have been the
motive for the crime.
According to the statement of hos
pital physicians Wright himself had
taken no poison and was shamming
when he seemed to be unconscious.
The contents of his stomach were ex-
hmined and no poison was found.
Wright did not disclose the nature
Of the poison given his wife and child,
but it is known they died in agony.
Stella Good has left the city for

Of that city have been asked to arrest
her. She has been arrested several

ACCUSED OF coWARDIcE.

Arthur.
ST. Petersburg, Feb. PA copy OF
the secret report on the defense OF
Port Arthur, which is the basis of the
Indictment On which Lieutenant Gen.
eral Stoessel, Lieutenant General
Fock, who commanded the Fourth
East Siberian division at Port Ar
thur, and Major General Reiss, chief
of staff of General Stoessel are stand
ing trial for their lives before the SUI
preme courtmartial, has been OBJ
tanned by the Associated Press.
1t is of the greatest interest as ex-
planning the decision to try these
three officers and nolle prosequi the
other defenders of Port Arthur. The
report, which was written by Lieuten-
ant General Snirnoff, the actual COM
mandant of the fortress, is sensational
in the extreme and categorically ac-
cuses Stoessel of cowardice and in
capacity and, finally, of the deliberate,
reasonable fastening Of the surren-
der to save his own life and In def
ance of the decisions CT two successive
councils of war. The report Is biased
In the extreme, breathes the most bit
ter personal enmity and shows that
the high officers of the Port Arthur
garrison in the darkest days of the
siege were almost at each others

Borlin, Feb. 27.--Herr Bebel, the
Socialist leader, took the tribune In
the reichstag during the day and for
two hours attacked the government
and the parties supporting it with the
wit, argument, inyective, sarcasm and
all the other resources of the most
powerful speaker in German parlia-
mentary life and rising to uncommon
heights even for him. Herr Rebel de-
voted his remarks to details of inter-
nal policies during the recent cleo
tions and to the controversies which
have arisen on the sibject.
Herr Rebel said the recent reichstag

to the Naval league for election pur-
poses. The government by such

ATTORNEY JEROME COMPLETES
SS-ExAMINATION OF EV.
ELYN NESBiT THAW.
Dl:GIRkL STORY PRACTICALLY INTACT
h6lDE FROM CERTAIN ADMIS.
sIoNs WITNESS STICKS TO
FIRST NARRATIVE.

New York, Feb. 27-District Attor-
hey Jerome has finished his long
cross-examination of Mrs Evelyn Mes
bit Thaw at the trial of her husband
On the charge Of having murdered
Stanford White. Mrs. Thaw had been
under the district attorneys fire for
nearly five court days. His conclud-
Ing questions had to do with what the
witness observed as to Thaw's man
ner when he would chance to meet
White. She said he acted as person
In fit.
Mrs. Thaw said her husband would
remember the meetings and talk of
them. From Christmas, 1908, until
he shot White he believed the archi-
tect had set the Monk Eastman gang
upon him. He constantly feared
White and said he was being persc-
cuted by him.
Mr. Jerome called Abraham H.
Hummel to the stand to question him
regarding the affidavit Evelyn Nesbit
Is alleged to have made against Thaw
In his office. Beyond the fact that the
girl went to the lawyers Office and
that he dictated to stenographer
while she was there the district at
torney was powerless to bring out
anything more because of the contin-
ued objection of Mr.. Delmas.
Justice Fitzgerald upheld the objec-
tions on the ground that collateral
testimony cannot be taken to discredit
the witness.
At the conclusion Of her cross-eX-
animation Mrs. Thaw was recalled by
Mr.. Delmas for redirect examination.
Evelyn Thaw's Story Intact.
To the observer 1t Is not evident
that Evelyn Nesbit Thaw's story has
been broken to any great extent. The
cross-examination brought out the
fact that Evelyn Nesbit lived with
Thaw as his wife for a year and
half before they were married, but
there was no attempt made to con-
ceal this fact. Mrs. Thaw admitted
1t without quibble. She also admitted
that her relations with White contin-
ued for several months after her al
legged ravishment. She also admitted
that Thaw sent cable messages to
White in her name asking him to in
terfere to prevent her mother from
making trouble while she and Thaw
were travelling together In Europe.
Aside from these admissions, how
ever, her story stands practically as
she told it on her direct examination.
Occasionally Mr.. Jerome succeeded in
Inducing her to make her statements
more positive. but he was unable to
Induce her to fix dates with any GER
tainty. On these matters her memory
proved to be very bad.
That Mr.. Jerome will attempt to
sontrovert many OF her statements
seems probable. He has confronted
her with DIR. Carlton Flint, whom she
declared she had never seen before.
Mr.. Jerome several times asked her If
It were not true that she had gone to
Dr.. Flint with Jack Barrymore and
she denied that she had. 1t is also
said that Mr.. Jerome will place on
the stand several chorus girls and
others who knew of the relations be-
tween Miss Nesbit and Stanford
White.
