A SHAME
Someone is Responsible

Talk about an era of modern
civilization! One would have
thought that the same was an un-
known quality in this section, had
they witnessed the unnecessary
embarrassment and humiliation
that the family of the late Z. G.
Cole were put to at the very time
that the itinerary of his funeral
should have been in progress on
last Wednesday afternoon.
The body was supposed to be in
the hands of the r. ]. Fletcher

widow and family, feeling that all
arrangements for carrying out the
funeral were properly locked after

This action, though humiliating
the family as it may be, will nc

sentiment, and the Lodge has bee
the subject of keen censure on a

The Tragic Passing of f. G. Cole

Z. G.. Cole, who has for nearly
a quarter of a century been one
of Helena's foremost colored clti-
zens, after years of physical sutf-
ering and anxiety, while, it is sup
posed, under a temporary spell OF
melancholy, took his own life last
Sunday at about go O'Clock, by
shooting himself with a 38-calibre
pistol in the head.
Mr.. Cole was one of Helena's
thrifty citizens, and at all times
labored to Do Something, and for
a higher citizenship.
The funeral was conducted
Wednesday from St. James
Church, the sermon being preach
ed by the Rev. w. 7. Osborne,
and the last sad rites we're per-
formed by the local lodge of Odd
Fellows and the Household of
Ruth. both of which he was a

ESTIMATE OF JOHN T.. STEVENS
RETIRING ENGINEER.

Colon, April 9.-John f.. Stevens.
former chief engineer OF the Panama
canal. was given splendid send-off
previous TO his departure for the
United States The reception was
held on Pier IL, Cristobal. w. c..
Bierd, general manager of the Pan
anna railroad, acted as chairman. Mr..
Stevens in a speech modestly gave
John f. Wallace, whom he super
seded as chief engineer, the credit
for the Organization of the work.
This. Mr.. Stevens declared. he had
modified only when necessary. He
said the preparations deemed nee
essary two years ago were under
estimated, and, though the working
forces had since been doubled. they
were still inadequate. But now he
declared. the machinery had been
completed; homes had been provided
Tor 25O.OO0 persons: there were rail
road facilities for handling over a
million yards Of earth monthly. and
The organization was so advanced
that it was possible to carry on the
work In both dry and wet seasons
He said he firmly believed the ca
nal would be opened I'm January
1918. He did not seek the position
and was leaving it OF his own Volt
ton, he declared Mr.. Stevens asked
his loyal friends not to take their
complaints to Washington, but Ia
make them to Maj Goethals. the
new chairman of the Canal Commits
sion, for whom he solicited the
same loyalty as had been given him.
Just before sailing on steamer
Mr. Stevens was presented a two
volume testimonial signed by Amer
icancan and other employees Of the
canal. expressing their loyalty Ia
him. The employees also subscribed
for three gifts, intended TO be hand
ed down by Mr. Stevens to his three
sons.
