other contractor who is financially re-
sponsible he will be given the con-
tract for the construction of the canal.
The fact that the Macarthur Giles
pie company Of New York, whose bid
for the construction of the canal was
1875 per cent, were represented at the
conference leads many of the interest
ed parties to believe that combina-
ton may be formed between that firm
and Mr.. Oliver. 1t is known that the
Macarthur Gillespie syndicate has con-
vinced President Roosevelt and Secre-
tary Taft Of its financial responsibility,
and after most thorough investga-
ton the canal commission officials have
expressed satisfaction that Mr.. Oliver
is able to carry out his end of the
agreement.
II Mr.. Oliver refuses to consider the
contract, after the rejection of Mr..
Bangs, the canal commission will i'm
mediately issue call for new bids.
Anson NJ. Bangs of New York, Mr..
divers associate in the canal pro-
posal, who was rejected by the canal
commission, was the contractor for the
500 canal locks. He is president Of
the Federal Construction company of
New York city, which is capitalized at
$2,000,000 Mr.. Bangs is brother-in-
law of John II. Gaynor of the firm of
Greene & Gaynor, who were implicat-
ed with Captain o. NJ. Carter in the
Savannah (Ga.) harbor engineer frauds
case. This fact, however, it is stated,
had no influence with the canal COM
mission in rejecting Mr.. Bangs as joint
contractor with Mr.. Oliver.

HAS RESIGNED.
London Foreign Office Said to
Hold the Resignation Of the
Governor Of Jamaica.

LONDON, Jan. &6.-An unofficial re.
port here says that the expressions OF
regret made by Foreign Secretary
Grey and War Secretary Haldane to
the United States government with
reference TO the Swettenham-Dayis in.
cldent mt Kingston have been supple.
mented by a letter to Il similar effect
from Governor Swettenham himself.
who has Indicated his willingness to
retire from his post
The colonial office would not confirm
or deny the report that the governor
has offered his resignation, but there
is good reason to believe that he has
placed his resignation in the hands of
the colonial Office officials.
1t has been fully expected here that
a solution of the difficulty would be
found in Swettenham's resignation,
and the reply to inquiries received at
the colonial Office tended to confirm the
report that the governor had intimated
his Willingness to retire from his post.
1t has been freely stated in the colo
NAL and other governme offices that
it was quite impossible or Swetten-
ham to continue in Office, not only be-
cause of the incident involving the
withdrawal of the American warships
from Kingston, but also on account of
the protests against his conduct and
retention of the governorship received
from the inhabitants of Kingston.
Kingston advices say it has been
proved that the landing of the Amer
lean marines at the time of the earth
quake and every move made by Ad-
miral Davis was with the knowledge
consent and at the request of either
Governor Swettenham or his immedi-
ate subordinates. The proof has been
furnished by William H. Orrctt. the
American vice consul there
Mr.. Orrett declared that Governor
Swettenham accompanied hundred
of the Indiana's sailors to the prison,
where he had eight of the convicts
flogged for mutiny.

PETERSON WINS SUIT
AGAINST ANDREW REPAK
Judge Lloyd Made Short Charge tc
the Jury and Verdict for Full
Amount Was Rendered.
Special to the EVENING NEWS:


NEW BRUNSWICK, jan &c.
Judge Lloyd in his charge to the jury
In the suit of John N Peterson vs..
Andrew Repak, the last case on the
calendar of civil suits for the term,
made his shortest charge for the
term yesterday afternoon. The jury
found for the plaintiff for the full
amount claimed, $1,000.
The case was finished around 8
O'Clock and Judge Lloyd was anxious
to catch train. His charge was to
the point and as brief as possible:
Gentlemen: This case is one sole
ly of facts and the court cannot as
sist you in your determination. If
you think the plaintiff made a sale
you should find for the plaintiff. If
not, for the defendant.
The jury was not long in deter
mining that sale had been made
and found for $1,000. The suit was
for bar fixtures Peterson claimed he
sold Repak. Repak alleged that the
fixtures were loaned as considera-
tion for his selling Peterson's liquors.
The original suit included 5000 with
interest on money loaned. Peterson
accepted tender of the amount due
for this, Repak having admitted be
owed this. One of the chief points
made by the plaintiff was testimony
to the effect that Repak had tried to
insure the fixtures as his own. Law
yer Stricken appeared for the plain
tiff and Lawyer Cowenhoven for the
defendant.
