Opinion In Case Of

The sewer department Of the Board of
Works this afternoon decided to publish
a notice OF the building of a sewer which
will run, according to the plans presented
to the committee by Engineer Rankin,
from the Tenth Ward ditch, in Thomas
street, to Dawson street, and from there
to Harper street. The cost will be about
81, 700.
During the meeting OF the street COM
mittee which followed, a motion to permit
the ripping up of the pavement in Stanton
street. that the Union Wheel Works,
located at Sc of that street, might have
gas connection, was carried.
AS told previously the Public Service
Corporation did not put in a butt before
the street was paved, a fact of which the
wheel company was unaware until after
the factory was built. Commissioner Egg
gers declared thai steps should be taken
to compel the Public Service to put In
connections.
City Counsel James r. Nugent on re-
quest OF Chairman Lambert, of the light
ing committee, announced hat in his
opinion the board could not force the Pub
lie Service Corporation to supply poles and
wire for the transmission Of electricity to
houses situated away from the main line,
1t was a matter for discussion between
the board and the corporation, he said.

Later in the day there was a garden

The breakfast of the President was

Penna speaking eloquently and in the
warmest terms of the friendship en-
tertained in the Brazilian Republic Tor
the great Republic to the North
America, DIR. Penna said, had never
been moved by ephemeral and heetng

from the very first days of the coun-
try's life as a republic, and its kindly
sentiments had ever been augmented
by the friendly social and economic
relations between the two countries.

proclaimed their independence" he said,

1914 PANAMA
CANAL
COMPLETED
Taft Qaizzed by Senators
on Conditions at the
IsthmuS.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 16.-Secretary Taft
appeared before the Senate committee on
interoceanic canals today to give that COM
mittee information concerning the project
and 10 offer suggestions for legislation.
Secretary Taft gave'a complete review
of the conditions at the canal site. and
quoted Information he had received from
various officials connected with the work.
lie expressed the opinion that the canal
should be completed within six years from
next July, and that its ultimate cost would
be approximately three hundred million
dollars, including the purchase price.
In his talk to the committee, Secretary
Taft at various points brought out the
difficulties that beset the commission In
its administration. These range all the
way from trouble with the Pacific Mail
Steamship line because of It's failure, to
furnish enough steamers, to labor diff
culties. lie also spoke of the complaints
by the Panamians that there is a bad
odor to the water that Is served to them
through the new works at Panama. as
one of the small, yet annoying features
of the work.
In the matter of steamship facilities on
the Pacific Coast, the Secretary said that
owing to their ~inadequacy the business
of the railroad had fallen off one-half
since the government tool possession and
it was a question In his mind whether the
government should not engage in the
steamship business on the Pacific in order
to retain the Panama route now existing
and keep the Isthmian business from
going by way of Tehuantepec or some
other route. ut may be a question: said
the Secretary, "of saving the income for
our steamers on the East coast by running
considerable risk on the West
Secretary Taft rave out considerable
information concerning prices paid for
labor on the canal and urged that there
be no reductions in the wages paid to
skilled laborers in spite of the fact that,
according to his estimate, they were re.
ceiving in pay and privileges from so to
60 per cent. higher income than they
could earn in the United States.
Senator Flint put a number Of questions
to the Secretary as to land controversial
on the Isthmus, the cost of sanitation
and the advisability of the government
running the Tivoli Hotel. In connection
with the last named project the Secretary
thought 1t quite necessary for the gov
eminent to operate the hotel. He said,
with a smile. that its bar had been re-
moved and that there ought to be no
ness people, at least in respect to that
trade.
The secretary said that the water rents
charged at Panama will in fifty years pay
all cost of providing the water works. the
improvement of streets and the construc-
tion Of the sewerage system. At the end
Of that period the work will become the
property of Panama.

PLEA
HITS TRACK
GAMBLING
Governor Asks Farmers to
Join in Fight to Abolish
It in State.

ALBANY, N. Y, Jan. 16.-Governor
Hughes made an appeal today to a
large gathering of farmers who are
here to attend the annual meetings of
the County and Town Agricultural So
cieties for support in his effort to abol-
ish race track gambling in this State.
He pointed out that while the constitu-
ton specifically directs the Legislature
to enact appropriate laws to prevent
gambling, so far as the race tracks
were concerned, this plain mandate of
the people in their fundamental Law
had been Ignored and betrayed"
II made this recommendation in my
message said the Governor, because it
wa right. And there isn't a man here,
whatever his interests may be in agrl-
cultural societies, or whatever his opin-
ion may be with regard to the relation
of the present law to their success. who
does not know that what [ said vas
right.
Il may add that we are dealing with
a matter which is a serious to
the morals of the community. My mail
is burdened with letters from fathers
and mothers, from employers. from
those who come in close contact with
the Generalization that is spread
through the encouragement of the
gambling instinct-not with reference
to matters that are beyond the public
ken, not susceptible of proof and inn
possible of change on account of
human nature, but because of things
that are encouraged. and made pos
sible by the direct action Of the State
in contravention of the spirit of tho
constitutional provision
