Washington, April 20. - The navy
department has decided to have but
one naval wireless station in Alaska

fact that the expense of installing and

SAYS STEVENS Il
EXAGGERATED II
NEW CANAL CHIEF cAsTs RE-
ELECTIONS ON HIS PREpE-
cEssoR.
his FIGURES WERE FALSE.
COCKTAILS DECLARES DIRT WILL
HAVE TO BE MOVED SECOND
TIME.

Washington, April 24.-Serious re.
Elections have been cast by Maj. G. w.
Goethals. the chief engineer of the
Panama canal. upon the work done by
his predecessor. John F. Stevens.
Maj. Goethals charges in an official
communication to the war department
that the reports made by Former
Chief Engineer Stevens. regarding the
large amount of dirt excavated from
the Panama canal are not accurate
and are not in accordance with facts.
Maj. Goethals declares that instead
of the figures representing the work
actually done they are based on the
estimates of the capacity of the steam
shovels and how much work they
should perform each month. These
figures did not cover the days when
the shovels were idle or were being re-
paired
Estimates Are Wrong.
These estimates, says Maj. Goethals,
were made on loose earth after 1t was
excavated and the measurements
were not accurate. He has also for
warded to the war department pro-
file survey which, he says, demon
strates the fact that much of the dirt
that has been excavated has been
dumped in wrong places and will have
to be removed again, the purpose hav-
ing apparently been to push the exca-
vators to their limit so as to make a
record, regardless Of effectiveness of
work. Maj. Goethals concludes with a
strong recommendation that the work
of excavating the canal should be let
out to contract.
Denies Such Mistakes.
When questioned regarding the
charges made by Maj. Goethals, Mr..
Stevens said he was certain that his
successor did not make the statements
attributed to him. There are many
reasons why he does not believe the
statements, the main one being that 1t
is impossible to make the mistake
charged. Stevens said that the esti-
mates on the excavation were simply
a matter of figuring the cross-section-
ing, which process was infallible.

TELL US THE NEWS.

Every newspaper wants to
publish the news. The better
the paper the more prosperous it
will be. Local news items are
especially hard to run down.
How many times have you been
approached by the newspaper
men for an item of merit and told
him that you knew nothing of in
terest? Probably at the time
your family were away on a visit
or some one from out of town
was visiting at your home. Of
course you didn't mean to deceive
the scribe, yet when you received
your paper you wondered why
your family or friends were not
mentioned. A good way to avoid
all of this is to kindly inform us
of the facts or drop note in the
postofice to the paper. The one
item may amount to much, but
several columns of such news is
the life of a local paper.

but we cannot too strongly con-
denim the action of two members
of the Anti-Saloon League of
Kentucky in sending out tele-
grams stating that the democratic
state ticket had formed a COM
bination with the liquor people
whereby the latter's interest
would be projected. These tele-
grams were sent without the
knowledge of the President of
the League and without giving
the candidates an opportunity to
say whether or not they were
true. The kilograms bore the
ear marks of a trick that had it's
origin at the republican headquar-
tiers. Messrs. Collins and Young
of the Anti-Saloon League were
sadly duped and have hurt the
cause of local option and temper
ance far more than any of its
enemies. The Ledgue must be

SAVED BY A WOMAN.

Daisy Fitzhugh Ayres, Wash
ington correspond ent for the
Courier-Journal, in Sundays
issue had the following interest
ing notice of a former Harrods-
burg girl:
The gentle hand of a fair Ken
lucky woman was the restraining
factor, indirectly, in saving from
destruction the celebrated Crit
tenden oak inthe Botanic Garden,
planted from an acorn by Senator
Critteneden, of Kentucky. The
woman is Mrs. Conrad H. Syme,
wife of one of the most enter
prising young lawyers of Wash
ington, himself a West Virginian,
she a Harrodsburg beauty, in her
girlhood, Miss Vevie Forsythe.
Mr. Syme, a Kentuckian-in-law and
public-spirited citizen, reading
in his evening paper that the
famed tree united with Kentucky
history was to be demolished the
the next morning at 10 o'clock
to make room for the Grant statue
raised his voice in indignant
protest.
1T is an outrage, he exclaim-
ed to his wife, that with all you
Kentuckians here in Washington
that vandalism should be allowed
to be committed"
What's everybody's business
is nobody's business" responded
Mrs. Syme, with gentle wisdom.
Suppose you step into the breach
yourself?"
"I'll do it," exclaimed Mr..
Syme. He snatched the receiver
from its hook with a lightning
clutch, called up Judge Gould, of
the Court of Chancery, arranged
for writ of restraint, and next
morning personally stepped in
and saw that one of the historic,
landmarks of the capital was
saved to the nation, just as the
final preparations were made for
the telling of the tree. The
prompt and efficient action has
given Mr.. Syme a unique fame.
