COLONEL TUCKER
 IS SAYING LITTLE

Hot Springs. Ark, January a.-(Spe cial)-While Col. William F. Tucker. chief paymaster in the department of the lakes, is maintaining silence toward the press, yet it is positively known from the army and navy hospital here that he is combating the move to be taken be- fore retiring board at Chicago on Feb ruary 15.
 Letters have been written to influential friends in the department with a view of thwarting the movement. The army and navy department hospital officials have reported positively on his case to the effect that he is ably physically to appear before the board on the date ordered His physical condition is so improved that he may prevent being retired, re- gardless of the desire of his wife Mrs. Dollie Logan Tucker, to have him cut off from the department without pay.
 Mrs. Mrytle Platt, the nurse accused by Mrs Tucker as being the cause of her marital troubles, Is still here, but will go with Colonel Tucker to Chicago if he is unable to dodge the trip.
 During the term of their stay here Col onel Tucker and Mrs. Platt have made many social friends. Mrs. Platt has also made some confidential friends to whom she has exhibited letters which passed between Colonel Tucker and his wife while Colonel Tucker was in the Philip pines and Mrs. Tucker here, and they will probably be made public in the trial if Mrs. Tucker endeavors to have Colonel Tucker cut off without pay because of her charges of wife abandonment.

NO CHANGE IN
 THE CANAL WORK

Panama, January 31-(Special. )-That there will be no change in the construction of the Panama canal is the opinion that prevails here among civil and military au- thorities. President-elect Taft's prellmi- nary investigation of the construction has created the impression among the authori- ties that the final result of the inquiries will result in the completion of the lock type of construction
 The President-elect's personal investi- gation will begin on Monday, and mean while engineers will be busy inspecting the locks of the Pacific slope. Members of the commission have expressed the opinion that either the sea-level or lock canal is practicable, but that the great cost of the former is pronibtiye. No con cern Is expressed regarding the safety of the Gatun dam foundations.
 MT. Taft left Culebra on a special train for Panama, where he made his official call on President Obaldia.

OPPOSITION TO
 THE DIAZ PARTY

Mexico City, January 31.-(Special. )-The democratic party in Mexico has pronul- gated it's platform in opposition to that of the so-called Diaz party. Some of the papers in Mexico have published it and it is considered one of the most rad ical documents ever published in Mexico Observers are rather surprised that the government consented to its appearance, as it included bitter attack on the ad- rninistration of justice and declares in section six:
 Our government is the victim of an overmastering tradition, originating in the colonial epoch and strengthened in our period of evolution. As result the peo- pie must witness day by day the spec tacle of indefinite outrages on the lb- erty of the individual"
 The party demands the amendment of section 20 of the constitution, giving an accused person the right to be accom- panied by counsel throughout his trial, and demands also that the laws allow ing to judge the power to deprive men of their liberty and to confne them in prison (incommunicado) be repealed. The resolutions demand Jury trials, ample freedom of the press and better agricul- tural laws.
