~ The trips to be made by this steam

bered that few years ago the Bruins
wick Steamship company operated the
steamer Brunswick between New
York, this city and Havana. and the
business was all that was desired. In
fact it was all that one ship could do,
and 1t was necessary for the company
to, either put on an additional ship,
establish q regular schedule, or dis
continue the line. No other ship was
available for the run, and the com;
pany decided to discontinue the ope-
rating of the steamer to Havana. S
It is believed, however, that a boat
plying only between Brunswick and
Havana could very quickly build up a
large freight and passenger business,
and 1t is known that more than cne
steamship company Is now looking in
to the possibility Of establishing
line.
At present there is not direct line
to Cuba from either Charleston, Sa-
vannah, or Brunswick, and all of the
business between this section of the
country and Cuba is done over the
lines from Tampa or Miami. The trip
can be made quicker from Brunswick
via all lswater than 1t can from here to
Tampa by rail and thence to Havana,
and with the heavy business that goes
on between Cuba and this section OF
the country, it is believed that a line
could enjoy good business, both

PLANNING TO RUSH
NEW AUDITORIUM
Effort Made to Raise Capital
and Buy Site Before
Options Expire.

With the view OF completing the
$4,000 capitalization of the proposed
National Auditorium Company before
the middle % next month. it has been
decided TO hold another public meeting
ia the New Willard Hotel next Wednes-
day afternoon, when an effort will be
made to secure the remaining S36S.O00.
The decision was reached as a result
of information made public today By
on the proposed Seventeenth street site
for the building. that options on certain
pieces Of ground contained IN the plot
Will expire the middle o. starch. The
average price OF s2lb per square foot
Tor the property that has been secured
by Mr. Glover IS regarded as being re-
markedly cheap and, for that reason.
a special effort is to be made to Sc
cure the capital yet needed so the
ground can be purchased before any Of
the options run out.
While details for the coming meeting
have not ali been completed, il Is under
stood that presidents Of more than forty
citizens associations have been invited
to be present and many OF these will
be asked TO make short addresses on tne
ACCESSIBILITY OF undertaking the invest
ment
An effort Is being made to have Gen.
John M. Wilson as the chief speaker Of
the occasion While his acceptance has
not yet been communicated, It Is thought
that he will occupy the same relation
with respect to the meeting that Sen
atoF-elect Root did on the occasion Of
the first conference, nearly three weeks
ago.
II was announced today that a request
VIII probably be made 10 the Chamber
OF Commerce. and Board OF Trade. as
well as 10 citizens associations. that
their committees on finance appoint sub
committees TO make suggestions and
lend all assistance In securing the
money. IT was also stated that sub

In all banks and commercial jEIstitU-
lions.
II was stated today that me street

lenge to the ingenuity Of man. The
French could not build the canal. The
Spanish were afraid 10 attempt it.
Practically the whole civilized world
doubted when America began the work.
Now it is certain of completion.
All Of it is being done under the
imperial eye Of Col. George w. Goethals.
He is one OF the greatest engineers the
United States has produced. and. in
carrying out his plans, he has made
himself the dominating and command
ing figure of the commission. He makes
up his mind what he wants done, and
the other commissioners, all able men,
vote for what ne desires because eX-
perieuce has taught them that he is
generally right.
He handles an endless amount OF de-
tail Ali lines of red tape lead to Goe-
trails sooner or later. He directs the
blasting ina the mountains along the
nine miles Of the Culebra cut, and he
has the final word on the operation Of
the government hotel at AncOn. Every
body turns 10 him for advice. All con-
slider him the leading figure In the
building Of the canal And, last Of ALL
1t IS on his engineering skill that the
success Of the undertaking depends.
Building the Locks.
The greatest work has yet TO be
done. This is the construction Of the
locks. the foundations and the walls

MR.. TAFT IS SATISFIED
WITH THE LOCK CANAL
Personal Investigation and Conferences With Engineers
Convince Him That Present Type Is Best.
Wonders of This Great Work
By JAMES HAY, il.

NEW ORLEANS. Feo. with the
practically final decision Of President
elect Taft and the consulting engineers
that the type OF construction for the
Panama canal is not 10 be changed
comes the realization that from now on
the work will be pushed uninterrupted
ly. and that inquiries to determine the
advlsability OF this or that type have
ceased
The PTesident-elect will not undertake
another such investigation. for the
studies Of the engineers this time have
impressed upon him that the lock type
is the one preferred.
How this great work is done no one
can realize without visiting ths scene,
Ii is put through by machine, tire
meudous mechanism which works with
out cessation. In the executive offices
the whsr of the wheels Is hardly heard.
The tasks are put back and forth across
the green covered desks with no Confu-
sion. and with no noise but the click
of many typewriting machines. But out
i'm the oren the roar Of the great me-
chauism stretches from ocean to ocean.
To Is here that the teeth of the steam
shovels eat away. the hills, and The tons
of dynamite lay low mountains of rock
The clatter Of the electric drills is heard
on every side. and railroad trains, work
ing on terraces one above thc other
along the line OF the canal, rush con-
tinuaHy back and forth with their loads
of stone and earth.
Best Organization.
This vast machine IS what Mr. Taft
considers the best organization ever as
sembled for the performance of a big
project. II has conquered all the ter
rors of the tropics. The sanitary de-
partmeut. under GOrgas. has wiped OF
yellow fever and poisonoUs insects. The
commissary department, under Major
Duval. has put at the very door Of every
worker all the comforts ann lIxuries
found in the United States. Where the
uoxious luxuriauce Of he Jungle once
was. there are now thousands Of AmeTi-
can homes, surrounded by green lawns.
order and health and system have been
wrought out Of wilderness, pestilenCe
ard confusion
An eye witness OF the work can do
little more than marvel. The mind is
slow 90 comprehend the vast fact that
ga 600. 900 cubic yards Of earth have yet
10 be removed before the canal viii be
completed. and that such work, with
steam shovels, steam drills, countless
railroad trains, and dynamite viii re
aIlre thirty-three months. II is almost
impossible TO real re that the mountain

Westerner Claims Everybody VIII Have To

he is disposing Is enormous. In sddi-

are handing his generations cut Ia
unlimited quantities.
