mIlLI)N MORE FOR TEACHERS,
Department Uf Pnblis Instruction Makes
Estimate on the Cost Of New Sry'
der Bill.

der Bill.
An estimate made al tho De.
partment of Public Instructlol
is that from half million to one
million dollars VIII be required
annually TO pay the increase
granted teachers in the public
schools by the Snyder bill enact
ID last winter.
Reports now being received
from the 2 600 districts Of the
State, form the basis Of calcula.
lion in making up this estimate.
The eports show the number of
5eacners who will be affected by
the act. The act increases the
minimum salary Of teachers IRON
the present figure Of S35 a month
to $40 and $50 a month, and al
least one fifth Of the %, 250 teach
ers in Pcnnsylvania's public
schools will be directly benefit
ted. Those holding provisional
certificates will hereafter receive
rot less than $40 a month, under
the Snyder bill, and those who
hold professional, permanent, or
normal school certificates, and
nave had two years practical ex.
perIence, will receive not less
than $50.
The act became operative June
last, but the first pay ment of
the school appropriations by the
State under Ii, cannot be made
until next June. The several dis
tricts must, however, pay their
teachers according to the terms
of the law and wait for the State
to reimburse them. The last
Legislature increased the school
appropriation 81, 100000 per an
num and this increase will enable
most of the districts to meet the
increased salaries without en-
barrassment, although some dis
tricts, which depend practically
entirely upon the States appro-
priatlon to run their schools, may
have to borrow money. Any dis.
trict which does not pay the in
creased salary, will forfeit it's
share of the State appropriation
entirely, so the teachers are sure
of the increase.
The act by the last Legislature
increasing the school approprla-
ton to S15OO,O00 a year, will not
become operative until next June,
aad appropriations now being
paid are from the total appropria-
ton of s., 500, 900 year.

GREATEST TASK Of
MODERN TIMES
Bids for Completion of Panama
Canal Opened Yesterday in
Washington.
w. J. OLIVER, ANS0N BANGS
WERE LOWEST BIDDERS
0Ger to Do Work for a Premium
of 6.75 Per Cent of the
Estimated Cost.

WASHINGTON, Jan. l2.-The 18th
miou Canal commission today opened
bids from private contractors for the
completion of the Panama canal. In
the opinion of Chairman Shonts, it is
the greatest task of modern times and
is in the highest degree exceptional
in magnitude and complexity.
The basis on which the contracts are
awarded is a percentage of the cost of
completing the work. Bidders were re-
quested to accompany their proposals
with certified check of 100000. and
the successful bidder is required to
give bond in the sum of S2,O0O,GO0 TO
protect the Government from any loss.
The Government expressly reserved
to itself the control of sanitation, of
engineering. and IN the matter Of quar-"
ters and the sustenancc department, for
they are directly connected with the
health and we'll being OF canal en-
ployces, and the right of rigid super
vision is retained
''In no event, - says Chairman
Shonts, 'can the contractor be allowed
to make these departments an indcpend
ent source of profit -
Government Retains Rights.
The Government likewise retains the
department of materials and supplies,
and. so far as the Panama railroad is
concerned, 1t expressly was declared in
the letter of invitation for bids that 1t
could not wisely be turned over to the
contractor. The work to be done by
the contractor, therefore, has been con-
fined to the actual work of construc-
ton.
1t is believed by the commission that
the estimated cost of completing the
canal will be materially reduced by the
application OF new principles of con-
struction which will be discovered as
the work progresses.
The proposals provide a system of re-
wards for the completion of the work
| in a shorter time than the contract
| calls for, and this, it is contended
will effect saving sufficient to offset
the entire percentage required to be
paid the contractor on the estimated
cost of the work.

BANK, NOT ONYX BANK
Similarity in Names Of Saloons Causes
Confusion.

Through an error of the arresting
officer, who furnished the information
to the press regarding the arrest of
Richard Wells on Friday night, the
morning papers made it appear that
Wells was taken into custody at the
Onyx Bank saloon, on Second South
street. The fact is that the arrest
was made at the Bank saloon, few
doors east of the Onyx Bank. The er-
ror of the officer is eXplsinable from
the proximity of tho resorts, the sim
ilarity in their names, and the fact
that the Bank saloon was formerly
known as the Onyx Bank.
Wells appeared in tho Police court,
Saturday morning, to answer the charge
of vagrancy, but as the complaint had
not been signed, the case went over to
Monday. The Nevadan is still a pris-
oner at the city Jail, having been un-
