PLAN ANOTHER JuNkET.
Members Of House Committee viii
Visit Canal for inspection.

BY Associated Press.
Washington, Aug. 2G-An eNamin-
alton of the ground preparatory to
estimates for appropriations for con
ducting work on the Panama canal
submitted by Secretary Taft for the
fiscal year 1909, is to be made by
members of congress who will have
in charge the preparation OF the sun
dry civil bill in which the appropria-
tion for the canal Is Incorporated
The proposed visit TO the canal Is
the outcome of suggestion from
Representative James A. Tawney OF
Minnesota, chairman of the appro-
priations committee in the last con.
gress who visited the isthmus fol
lowing the adjournment last March.
The suggestion has met the hearty
response from those identified with
the commission work, who believe
that great deal of good will result
from a heart to heart talk between
the congressman who will be in
charge of the appropriation and the
officials who spend It, and thus clear
away in advance any misapprehen-
sions or misunderstanding that may
exist as to the justice and propriety
of allowing the money estimated to
be necessary for the work.
OF particular importance is the pro
posed visit regarded at the present
time when the question has now
been raised with the President
whether the commission can law.
fully expend during the present fiscal
year any more money than was speci.
iically appropriated. Colonel Goet-
halls having reported to the authori-
ties in Washington that the work has
progressed so rapidly that Il will be
in the interests OF economy to sup
plement that amount to the extent of
SS,0OO,000 by reason of which he
thinks a years time will be saved in
the completion Of the great water
way.
Officials here think that congress
may, as a result of the observation of
members on the isthmus, provide leg.

proceed regardless of appropriations

William II. Murray, president OF the

his attention called TO the statement
of Governor Frantz that he had nev.

made the following statement:
Aside from depositing the consti'

dian OF the records for the governor,
| delivered TO Governor Frantz the
first copy printed, and that was ON
the day that Secretary Garfield spoke
In Guthrie also gave a copy of It

other prominent republicans when
democrats were present and begging
me for them.
THE first copy, as stated above,
was delivered TO Governor Frantz and
that has been some two weeks since,
so that his statement that he has not
seen a copy OF the constitution is alb
solutely incorrect
Possibly he has not read It; as
