PANAMACANAL BOND
ISSUE DISCUSSED
Cabinet Considers the PROPOSE
ton to Buttress the Gov.
eminent Cash Box

WASHINGTON, July 16.-ghe pro-
posed Panama canal bond issue to meet
the needs of the treasury and buttress
the government cash box in view of
the diminished revenues occupied most
of the time of the cabinet session
today.
Secretary MacVeagh presented the
draft of a measure prepared by him,
which authorized the issuance of bonds
to the full extent of the cost of the
canal, including the s30,000,0O0 already
authorized for that purpose.
The bonds are to bear 3 per cent in
terest and run for 90 years. There
will be no issuance of the entire
amount Immediately and it was said
that while the situation warranted i'm
mediate steps to safeguard the govern
ment by securing authority for the
bond issue, no decision has been
reached as to issuing any amount OF
the bonds and a change in the tide of
the revenue might make 1t unnecessary
to put any of them on the market
The per cent interest is a maximum
proposition, the purpose being to au-

ton as better than a fiat limitation,
permitting as it does the fixing of less
than per cent. If found feasible, while
meeting the objection raised as to the
present nonmarketability of such bonds
at such low figure as per cent.
1t is left to the secretary's discretion
within that maximum limit and in case
the issue OF any part of the amount is
determined upon at any time, or from
time to time, the marketable conditions
of course will govern.
The provision in the proposed leg1s-
lation that will govern the tax on cir
culation will follow the existing law.

treasurer in January and July tax of

On such bonds paying more than

CUNNINGHAM'S TRIAL
FOR MURDER BEGUN
Slayer of Carolina Brasch Indi=
Gates That Insanity Plea
Will Be Defense

James Edward Cunningham, who con-
fessed to The Call that he murdered
Miss Caroline Brasch in the office of
Gray Brothers, was taken before Po-
lice Judge Daniel c. Deasy for pre-
liminary examination yesterday. Little
progress was made, as the opposing at
torneys were not prepared to proceed
and the case was continued until We'd
nesday.
Keenly alive to the peril of the po-
sition in which he finds himself, the
confessed murderer counselled with his
attorney, E. z. Kirk, who indicated by
his cross examination that the defense
would be based on a plea of insanity,
resulting from the murderer's worry
over his pay, which had been withheld
under the pay-check system in vogue
in Gray Brothers office.
DR.. John r. Clark. autopsy surgeon,
the first witness, described the wound
which resulted in death. The prose-
cutfon then called The Call reporter to
whom Cunningham gave himself up
when he learned that another man had
been accused of the murder. and was
confined in the city prison with strong
circumstantial case against him.
STORY OF SURRENDER
During a lengthy direct examination
by James G. Sims, who has been re-
tanned as special prosecutor, the wit
ness related the various circumstances
surrounding Cunningham's surrender,
and then went into the subsequent de-
tailed confession in which the murderer
told of all his actions from the time he
ceased working at Gray Brothers
quarry April 26, until he gave him
self up.
On cross examination Kirk questioned
the witness regarding Cunningham
references to having been under mes
meric influence at the time he fired the
fatal shot. He also asked for all of
the references made by Cunningham to
the girl named "Shirls." who, the muir
derer said, exerted a hypnotic influence
over him.
SELF-SLAUGHTER PLANNED
When Cunningham was arraigned
Tuesday, Bailiff Al Williams saw some
thing glitter in his hand and discovered
that 1t was a steel eraser. Believing
that Cunningham intended to attempt
self-destruction. Williams took the in
strument from Cunningham and learned
that he got it from Mitchell Wright, a
fellow prisoner in the dock charged
with disturbing the peace. Wright had
taken it out of his pocket to clean his
nails and Cunningham asked for it.
The matter was reported to Chief
Cook. and yesterday acting Captain
Tobin of Company II filed a charge of
neglect of duty against Policeman John
j. Clancy for failing to find the eraser
in Wright's pockets when searching
him after his arrest
