chants thar the cOmmissaries Of the Pan

This proposition was submitted 10 the
Canal Commission several weeks ago by
II. a. de Leon. on behalf Of the Panama
merchants. The proposed syndicate.
Senor de Leon said. is able and willing
10 carry out any obligation OF the COM
missary system as II is now managed

demands from the Canal Commission.

up through diplomatic channels IN the
near future.

Chief Justice Clabaugh yesterday for
mally dismissed the suit instituted some
time ago by George c. Austin. Of New
York. to compel Secretary COrtelyOu 10
issue to him SS.000.000 worth OF Panama
Canal bonds. by sustaining a demurrer
interpOsed by District Attorney Baker
and Assistant District Attorney Stuart
Mcnamara
This suit was practically decided more
than month ago, when Justice Gould
dismissed the rule for Secretary Cortel-
you 10 show cause why he should not be
restrained from dispOsing OF bonds 10 the
amount Of 100000 and turning them
over 20 Austin az the price he bid The
merits OF the case were presented at this
hearing. and the case. 10 all intents and
purposes. settled.
Chief Justice Clabaugh took occasion
yesterday TO commend the action Of Sec
retary Cortelyou IN scrutinizing bids for
the bonds. He said the Secretary had
the right 10 consider the financial condi-
tions Of the country and 10 act as TO him
seemed best for the Improvement Of these
conditions
To this end it was perfectly proper and
legal for him TO reject bids that he con-
sidered undesirable.

Editor The Washington Herald:
Chief Belt stated to the press yesterday,
among other things pertaining TO the
subject uppermost in the minds OF the
mothers OF school children n Washington.
that: Certain changes must be made
ar the Thompson school I found the
ceiling of the basement not plastered,
leaving the woodwork exposed. This is
the worst danger spot I have discovered.
I shall recommend that the woodwork be
covered up. Several buildings I have Wis
tied have wooden stairs. these should
be removed. and slate or stone installed. -
If Chief Belt viii extend his investiga-
tons far enough TO see what really is
the condition OF school buildings in the
District. he viii not take alarm at so
trivial matter as an exposed ceiling in
a basement.
