 Governors of the various States and other advocates of a deep waterway from the lakes to the gulf also were heard by the committee.

He said the waters of the Mississippi and its tribu- taries must be conserved. so that dur ing drought enough water to float the vessels can be supplied from reser- vOirs and thereby prevent delay in commerce.
 Tn the absence of Governor Johnson, Dr. W. J. Agee, secretary of the inland waterways commission, supported the theory that congress should appoint a commission and provide a lump sum to carry on the work without the inter vention of Congress.
 Governor Noel of Mississippi. advo- cated a central board to be appointed to make plans and take such money s congress appropriated from time 70 time and make the best use Of 1t. He said that a tribunal should be ar lnt- ed to proceed and follow up tf t4foriC mapped out for 1t.

 About the Canal works.
 Panama, Dec 1I.-It was rumored in this city yesterday that Colonel GoethaIs, the chairman of the Panama. Canal, commission had given orders that the Culebra cut be widened, but the colonel today denied this report
 The reason assigned was that at the present angle, the canal could never be brought down to the forty seven foot level above the sea necessary for q width of eighty-five feet. To widen would mean the excayation of 14,000,- 900 more cubic yards.
 It was declared that deep crevices had their appearance on Gold Hill. Colonel Goethais said this statement was entirely without foundation.
 If the Culbra cut is widened," said he, ''it win be to facilitate the pas- sage of vessels through the narrow part of the cut, and for no other req son."
 As soon as the dry season sets in. it is proposed to push the work of re- locating the present trans-isthmian railroad. More than 5000 men will be employed in this undertaking.
