Story From New York Declares
Attorney General is Out Of
Harmony With the Admins
tratiOn,
RECENT UTTERANCES
FLIPPANT AND UNWISE
Root Said to Strongly DiSap-
prove of Colleagues Recent
Course; Conference on Alton
Immunity Question Yesterday

Washington, Aug 20--A close con-
ference took place at the department
of justice today between District Al
torney Sims of Chicago and Attorney
General Bonaparte, relative to the
question Of immunity claimed in be-
half of the Chicago and Alton rail-
road. Attorneys representing the
railroad participated in the confer
ence. When the meeting broke up the
attorney general said there was no
statement he could give out until he
had held further communication with
Judge Landis Mr.. Bonaparte expects
to communicate with the judge at
Chicago without delay.
a story has been published I'm New
York today In which it was predicted
that Mr. Bonaparte would soon retire
from the cabinet. 1t is declared that
persons in that city close to the presi-
dent express the opinion that Attorney
General Bonaparte's usefulness as a
member of President Roosevelt's cab
met has terminated. 1t Is not expected
that Mr. Bonaparte will retire immedi-
ately, as such retirement might be
construed as a sign of weakening OF
the presidents antitrust policy. This
construction OF the matter would be
particularly undesirable to Mr..
Roosevelt at this time, since not the
slightest foundation for It exists. but
there can be no question, according to
this authority that the president is
not only not in sympathy with the re-
cent fitppancy and nndignided attitude
and, at least doubtful legal procedure
displaye by the attorney general, but
is in all respects opposed to them.
The attorney generals policy, II Is
asserted by this authority, Is under
stood to be condemned by all the
presidents most trusted advisers, and
ii is added that there Is excellent
reason to believe that some important
changes i'm the cabinet will constitute
the protest of the administration
against Attorney General Bonaparte's
program.
Secretary of State Root and Assist
ant Secretary Bacon are understood
to strongly disapprove of the attorney
generals recent course with which
they are entirely out of sympathy.

This announcement was made by

I'VE have information" said Mr..

Construction at Panama Pro-
Ceeding Faster than Antici-
pated When Funds for Pur-
pose Were Provided,
EIGHT MILLIONS MORE
NEEDED FOR THIS YEAR
Colonel GoethaIs, in Charge, Is
Resolved to Continue on the
Present Basis, Trusting TO
Deficiency Appropriation,

.y'ANashngton, Aug. 20.-Conditlons
on the Panama canal have reached n
state of gravity due to the fact that
the construction work is developing
faster than when the estimates for the
fiscal year. 1903, were made more
than year ago. An estimate Is
made that an expenditure OF more
than $S,000,000 more than the appro-
priation for the fiscal year could be
made to advantage, This money is
needed in pushing forward the work
at the preatest possible speed during
the present year. and Colonel Goeth-
als, the engineer in charge, thinks II
in the interest of economy to proceed
along this basis and ask congress at
its next session for sufficient ap-
preparation to make good the defi-
cheney. He will make the argument
that. with the present organization.
the work toward the completion of the
great waterway can be pushed more
rapidly than by restricting operations
within the limits of the appropria-
tions now available.
