$4s,Oes.524 FOR CANAL.
Panama Commission Wants That
Amount For 1901.

washington. D. C. Especially -
The Panama Canal Commission has
submitted to the Secretary Of War
an estimate of appropriations aggre-
eating $4S,063,524 for work on the
canal during the fiscal year begin
ming July /, 1910. OF the amount
asked for, $15,5O4,036 is for skilled
and unskilled labor and $20,218,983
is for materials and supplies used in
construction work.
The total appropriations made by
Congress up to this time on account
OF the canal are $210,070,468.
Colonel Goethals, the chairman and
the chief engineer of the commits
sion. has declared it to be his ,opin-
ion that the great waterway will be
completed by Janaury 1, 1915, and
has estimated the total cost at $685.
100000, which, however, includes
the cost Of sanitation and civil gov
eminent and the $50,000.000 pur-
chase price.
The unusually large amount asked
for the new fiscal year probably Is
due to the fact that work on the
waterway has entered more advanc-
ed stage.

DUDLEY BUCK
PASSES AWAY
Was Leading American Composer
of Church Music.

New York (SpeciaD.-Dui
Buck, whose. name was seen, perhaps,
oftener than that of any other Ameri-
can composer on concert and choral
programs, died suddenly at the home
of his son, Dudley Buck, Jr., the
the violinist, in West Orange, N. ].
The composer was born at Hartford,
CT, in 1889, and on March 10 last
he celebrated his SEVENTEEN birthday.
His father was a shipping mrchant,
and had planned similar career for
his son. One day the boy Dudley
borrowed from one of his fathers
clerks work on Thorough Bass
and then. on happy day soon after.
q youthful school fellow lent him
flute. There is a legend that the boy
musicians thoughtfulness for others
ran to the extreme of doing his first
practice on the flute high up on the
branch of cherry tree, SO that his
FIRST false notes would not annoy the
family as much as they annoyed him
self.
The piano that came to him when
he was 16 drove fom the boys head

took Dudley in charge then to give
him his first lessons About this
time he entered Trinity College,
up his duties as organist of st. Johns
Episcopal Church, Hartford.
It was evident to his parents by
this time that the youths lifework
was music and they determined that
his training should be of the best.
Wherefore he was taken out of Trim
ity College in his junior year and
sent to the Leipsic Conservatory when
19 years old. Here he met as fellow
students Sir Arthur Sullivan, Carl
Mills, Madeline Schiller after whom
he named his daughter, and others
who later became famous.
After his three years of German
training Mr.. Buck studied, for a
year in Paris. He returned to Ameri-
ca in 1862, and after the death of
his parents he went to Chicago as or
ganist, composer and teacher. Later
Mr.. Buck went to Boston as organ
ist of st Paul's Church there, and,
later, of Boston Music Hall, the
highest honor a Boston musician at
that time could attain.
While he was adding to his repu-
tation in Boston he attracted the at
tention of the late Theodore Thomas,
who was then conducting the concerts
at the Central Park Garden in this
city. Mr.. Thomas, in 1875, invited
Mr.. Buck to become his assistant
conductor, which the young composer
accepted, but not until he had first
gone to Cincinnati as organist of the
Nav Festival

origin of pellagra Is not to be found
in spoiled or fermented corn, but
in impure water. The patients affiict-
ed with the disease had, it was found
on investigation, first undergone an
affection of the intestinal tract re-

Banker Granted 40 Days In Which

United States Supreme Court grants
writ of certiorari to Charles w.
Morse, the convicted banker must,
within 40 days, 60 to Atlanta, Ca,
there to begin the service of Id years
imprisonment in the federal prison.
The Circuit Court of Appeals affirmed
the conviction by the jury in the
United States Circuit Court in the
trial Of Morse for misapplication
OF the funds of the National
Bank Of North America and the
making of false entries in the
books OF the bank and in reports
to the Comptroller of the Currency.
After the decision of the higher court
had been handed down Martin w.
Littleton, counsel for Mr.. Morse, ask
ed the court for 40 daye' stay in the
issue of the mandate that he might
have ample time to prepare his ar
gument in the application to the Su-
preme Court at Washington for a
writ OF certiorari. The stay was
readily granted
Morse went to the federal build
ing and surrendered himself to
United States Marshal Henkel. He
was accompanied by Mrs Morse and
his two sons, Harry and Ben. The
provisions OF the $125,00 bail bond
subscribed by his friends and bust
ness associates provided that Morse
was to surrender himself when the
Circuit Court of Appeals handed
down its decision. The fall term of
court opened Monday, but it was not
expected that decision would be
handed down so soon, owing to Judge
Noyes' absence in Europe. Judge
s1oyes .aeAfd the Morse appeal with
Judges Lacombe and Coke, but he
mas been in Brussels during the
summer In attendance at the
Maritime Conference, and it has
been the impression that he had
not yet arrived at any opinion in
the Morse case. 1t was evident that
both Morse and his counsel we're TAX

convicted mans affairs had taken.
From II o'clock in the morning
until nearly o'clock In the afternoon
Morse and Mr.. Littleton were in close
conference. The banker appeared
the least affected at his plight Of all
the friends who surrounded him. He
conferred with his counsel as coolly
as he would with a business 1850
eiate In his private Office. Mrs. Morse
was noticeably affected and showed
her agitation in walking about nerv-
ously.
One OF Morse's keenest regrets at
being forced to return to prison is
the interruption OF his beaverlike
struggle to rebuild his fortune. Since
his liberation under bail he had been
reelected president OF the Metropoli-
tan Steamship Company. New Eng
land corporation. and of the Hudson
Navigating Company. operating a
line of boats on the Hudson. He is
credited with having discharged the
bulk OF his debts. From the two big
transportation lines that had within
the week elected Morse as their Dresi-
dent, there was no official statement
forthcoming after the decision. 1t
was understood that. for the time
beina at least, the elections would
stand. f.tG
