MAKE PANAMA LOCKS WIDER

at Added Cost OF SJ,00O,OOD.

WASHINGTON, D. c., January 16.-
President Roosevelt has approved the
recommendation OF the 1sthm,an Canal
Commission. indorsed by Secretary
TAFT, increasing the width OF the locks
or the canal from 100 to Ito feet. The
action Of the commission in recon-
smending the widening OF the locks Is
made in order to meet requirements of
the navy that can r. r.asonably be ex-
pected In the near future"
The General hoard of the Navy, In
q memorandum to the Secretary OF the
Navy. dated October 2sth last. ex-
pressed the opinion .that the width
Of the locks, as now flxed-namely. 100
feet-is insufficient for probable ships
Of future construction, and that sound
policy would dictate an increase to a
clear width OF Ito feet" The commits
sion feels that It should be guided by
the wishes of the navy. III memo

sion says that the cost OF all the locks
at 100 feet wide Is estimated at s52.-
5s0.011, while a width OF Ito feet will
cost s57.sso.s5o.
In transmitting the recommendations
and memorandum OF the commission
to thee President. Secretary Taft sets
out that increasing the width to 40
feet will increase the cost OF the canal
$5,o00,000, and will somewhat reduce
Its capacity because OF more water and
time required to make the lockages.
He adds: This objection can be met
so far as the water is concerned by
providing q dam at Alahuel. and thus
increasing the supply to be held for

Changes to Be Made
in Aldrich Bill.
DOUBLE AMOUNT
EXTRA CURRENCY
This to Be Raised from $780,
100000 to S5oo,ooo,o ,ooo-Rail-
road Securities May Be
Retained, but This
Feature to Be
Altered.

WASHINGTON, D. c., January l6.-
After two sessions OF the Senate Com
mittee on Finance to-day the members
of the committee were In possession Of.
q fair idea OF what shape the Aldr!ch
financial bill will be In when 1t Is re-
ported next week. There VIII be no
more meetings OF the committee until
Monday. when the various amendments,
which have boen gradually evolved
through the general discussion OF the
bill during this week, will be tncor-
porated in the measure.
1t Is stated to be practically certain
that the limit OF extra currency which
the bill provides for will be raised from
$25O.00O.000 to $500.000,000. most OF the
members believing that this figure is
not too high for q time of emergency.
when heavy issue OF currency notes
Is demanded on security OF the pre-.
scribed sort and under the prescribed
tax. The tax on the emergency Issues
will not. it is believed, be placed higher
than per cent, which the bill now
provides.
An amendment offered By Senator
Bailey, reducing the required popula-
ton of a county or municipality whose
bends are to figure In currency Issue.
from 10000 to 10000, is expected to re-
d
committee. and. according to reliable
reports. will be adopted. This will
permit smaller towns OF just as great
an age of commensurate prosperity
with the larger towns to participate In
the benefits of the measure.
Senator Dolliver will probably offer
an amendment in opposition TO the
railroad bond feature of the bill. and 1t
may possibly call for the entire elimi-
nation Of such securities. Senator
Ralley will no doubt support him In
such project. as he does not hesitate
to let 1t be known that he is not in
favor OF railroads being allowed to fls
their bonds with the government as se-
curity for currency Issues. owing to
their tendency to fluctuate.
There is thought to be enough oppo-
sition, however, to defeat such an
amendment. for the belief expressed by
its opponents is that the backing by
the government. once railroads are ac-
cepted as security for certain issue
will have the effect OF. insuring the
stability Of the currency notes issued
on them.
A Democratic member OF the com.
mtttee asserted to-day that the minor
tty, IS a, whole. is uot In favor OF q
bill providing currency based on
securities outside Of fEgovernment bonds
but being unable to prevent favora BILE
report on such a measure. they are
making 1t their duty, SO far as lies In
their power. to make 1t as effective a
measure of that nature as possible
and they arc therefore joining with
Republicans In advocacy Of most OF
the features of the Aldrich bill.
