MT. BigelOW's Vigorous Speech. Editor The Advertiser:
 In yours of March you make a statement which might pass unnoticed if proceeding from less important or gan of public opinion. You say we have had Investigators (of the Panama CanaD galore, including Poultney Big e1ow and Theodore Roosevelt We name them together because their re- ports seem to have been equally unre- liable!" s
 Permit me to say that MT. Roosevelt's report has been discredited by all, save salaried officials or employees or other patriots scenting for job; while not a single important statement of mine has been called in question save by the same set of scoundrels who are wasting the money of the people and seeking to defame such venture to protest in the name of decency.
 Mr. Roosevelt is a great politician of which no better evidence need be cit ed than the success which has crowned his effots at humbugging Democrats no less than his own partisans in regard to this great enterprise.

FOR STRATEGIC REASON.
Dams and Locks of Panama Canal VIII
 Be Changed.


 Washington, Dec 2S.-For strategic reason and to prevent their lombard ment and destruction by hostile fleet. the Isthmian Canal Commission has determined to change the location Of the dams and locks which 1t was orig inally intended to construct at La Boca, and instead thev will be built at Mira flores four miles inland and within the scene of safety. President Roose- yelt has approved the plans.
 Aside from strategic reasons ad- vanced for the change in plans is also at of the question of cost. the saving of time In the completion of the canal and that a more satisfactory founda- tion can be secured at Mirahores. The | estimated saving in cost will be con siderable.
 President Roosevelt approved the change in the location of the locks a bout ten days ago. simply endorsing his approval on the commission's re- | commendation. Two locks are to be constructed at Miranores and the es- innate is that the cost will be $S,0O0. 900 less than if they were built at Sosa. which location has been under consideration for some time. At Mira flores there is a range of hills which will serve as considerable protection from the bombardment that might Do attempted by a hostile fleet.
 | Secretary Taft had the following te say about the location of the locks at Sosa Hill in February. 1906, when he transmitted to the President the report of the board of consulting engineers for the Panama Canal convened by the executive order of June 24, 1904.
 "The great objection to the locks al Sosa Hill is the possibility of their de- struction by the fire from an enemy'f ships. If as has been suggested to me | by officers of this department entitled I to speak with authority on military subjects, these locks may be located against and behind Sosa Hill in such way as to use the hill as a protection against such fire, then economy would lead to the retention of this lake. The lake would be useful to commerce as means of relieving any possible con gestion In the canal should the trafhC be very great and would give, in case of need. place for concentration or sheltering the fleet. If, however, Soss Hill will not afford site with such protection, then it seems to me wiser l to place the locks at Mirahores."

SEARCHING FOR PARENTS.
A Ysung Sailor Tells of Mistreatment
 hy American Consul

by American Consul
 Pittsburg, Pa., Dec. 2s.-Howard Ray, IS years old, on his way to San Francisco, hoping to find his home and his parents. whom he left before the earthquake, told a sensational story of adventure as a sailor, of being shanghaied by the crew of a British ship and of being mistreated by a United States Consul in Brazil to whom he applied for relief, in the police sta ton here last night when he applied for lodging.
 When 13 years old, he said. he ship ped as cabin boy at San Francisco on the steamer Chilik, bound for Cape Town. As cabin boy and as ordinary seaman, often performing the duties of a grown man, he worked his way Ton different ships. to Sydney. Mel landing at Rio Janeiro, Brazil. where he was seized with a desire to return home. He shipped on a boat bound for Norfolk, Va, and reached that point without adventure and was given his pay for the voyage and his dis charge. Walking through the streets of Norfolk, he ssHs, he swas seized by sailors from the British coal steamer Titanus, where he was kept for sev- eral days until the ship sailed He was released and put to work as a sailor The ship was shorA of sailors and he was taken torcioly as a re- cruit.
 In the course of time he again found himself in Rio Janeiro, where he appealed to the American Consul. |. That official, the lad ayers, gave him curt treatment, hushed up the fact of his being shanghaied after several con- ferences with the British Consul and finally refused to assist him to get back to the United States because he could not produce proof that he was an American citizen. The British Con- sul assisted him to New York. He stole his way to Altoona on freight | trains. he says. and the officers there gave him transportation to Pittsburg. He hopes to be given help here and at other points, that will take him to San Francisco. Whether he will find his parents there he does not know He has heard nothing from them since the earthquake. Pittsburg authorities will probably give him some help.

BACK A $4,000 STALLION FOR

Charles David of Honolulu who
went to the Coast as the representa-

of blooded stock has purchased the
stallion Protero (2:2D, for $4,000, a
grandson of the world famous STAN

While his mark is 1921 this is no
indication of his ability as he has
repeatedly shown that he possesses

The purchase of Protero is mention
ed in detail in horse papers of the
mainland and the tenor of the re-
marks is that the Hawaiian Islands
are to be congratulated on the acqui-
sition.
This Protero is a massive indivi-
dual and is today capable of taking
the prize in any show on the Pacific
coast for good looks and quality.
David will bring with him a num-
