Washington, Sept 12.-"What will
be the value of the Panama canal to the
United States when completed? What
will the people of the country get for
their 1875, 200, 900, the estimated total
cost Of their canal?" y
These questions were asked to-day of
Lieut.. Col. George w. Goethals, chair
man Of the Isthmian Canal Commission
and engineer in charge OF the work,
who has just returned from Panama on
vacation. Col. Goethals was sent to
the isthmus by former President Roose-
welt to build the canal The work he is
doing with an enthusiasm and an energy
that promise the opening of the canal
to vessels by January 1, 1915. No one
should know better than he what its
successful operation means to this
country and to the people of the world. |

J. P. MORGAN MAY CONTROL

Agreed With Hartman.

Agreed With Hartman.
New York, Sept. 11.-Past the age
of three score years and ten, J. Pierpont
Morgan seems destined to become czar
of the rails.
At present in control of 50,0 900 miles
OF railroads, it appears he may now take
over the great Hartman system of Co.
600 miles, and from his office in %
Wall street, rule 116, 900 miles of rail
road
That Wall street believes Morgan is
to take over the Union Pacific and
through that road secure its allied lines,
is evidenced by the fact that Union
Pacific stock sold to-day at the close of
the market at 207S, more than 13
points higher than at the close of bust
ness Thursday, before Mr.. Hartman S
death was bulletined to the waiting
world.
Morgan has been for years grooming
himself to take over the Union Pacific.
For months he has been quietly buying
in the stock of the road whenever it
was placed on the market. At the an
nouncement of Harrimans death Fri
day, he went into the market and
bought every share of Union Pacific
that was offered for sale. Hartman, it
is known, wanted to turn over his vast
properties to Morgan.
TALKED WITH HARTMAN.
On Thursday of last week Hartman
sent for Morgan and the latter fnancier
went secretly to Arden. In order to
assure complete secrecy for this visit
Mr. Hartman on the day before issued
a statement to the newspaper men at
Arden that he was getting along ia
mously, and asked that they leave.
Taking him at his word, the newspaper
men granted his wish. The instant
they were gone Morgan came. The de-
tails of the conversation can only be

MILITARY VALUE is GREAT.

Ships can go from the Atlantic
through the canal to San Francisco in
about fourteen days. 1t took the Oregon
AZ days to make the trip around the
horn at the outbreak of the Spanish
war. Two-t thirds of the time would be
saved in transferring a fleet from one
ocean to the other in case of necessity.
If that CANAL" said Col. Goethals,
pointing to map on which was traced
the route of the ditch across the Isthmus
Of Panama, had none other than mill
tary value, it would justify every dollar
it is to cost the American people. 1t
affords safe, quick, practical route for
the transfer of a defending fleet from
one coast of the country to the other; it
offers the same route for the transfer of
supplies, munitions and men. 1t gives
security. But it has other values
i can Il talk to you of its commercial
value. Get some statistician to do that
have not give that question any
thought. To my mind it is guess work.
1tmust depend on many things. Among
them, of course, will be the tolls for the

Oaks gave Los Angeles the scare of its

MISCHIEF | DEFEATS
FAST YACHT WASP

SAN PEDRO, June 20.-In stiff
breeze this afternoon Mischief I, sailed
by Capt. Joe Fellows and a picked
crew, beat Wasp, sailed by Capt. Fritz
Whitney and his regular crew, over a
ten-mile triangular course from the
outer harbor to Long Beach pier and
return by the end 70 the big govern
ment breakwater.
The actual time between boats was
II minutes and seconds, which will
be cut down by probably 6ls minutes
after the official measurements are
made this season.
But two yachts were ready when
the preparatory gun was tired from
the judges boat at 1856, and while
other yachts were out they were not
officially in the race. Stewart Laugh
lin, chairman of the regatta committee,
and c. ID. Callahan had charge of the
race, following it in the judges launch.
The Wasp was a few seconds ahead
of the Mischief ! as she crossed the
line at l. Within ten seconds the
spinaker had been set and she was
speeding away in free run before the
heavy wind for the flag off the end
of the Long Beach pier, four and one
half miles to leeward. 1t was five
minutes before the spinaker had been
broken out aboard the Mischief l and
nearly eight before it was drawing
properly, but even with this delay the
Mischief I gradually overhauled the
Wasp and rounded the Long Beach
flag to starboard three minutes ahead
of the Wasp. The rounding time was
$40 and 1:43.
The larger boat took a long inshore
tack and was followed by the Wasp
as soon as she came around the flag.
The beat to Windward on the port tack
inshore lasted for thirty minutes, when
Capt. Fellows came about and headed
for the flag off the end of the break
water. The lead over the smaller boat
was increased slightly on the port
tack and when on the long off-shore
starboard tack the Mischief l again
drew farther ahead. Several of the
other yachts of the club had come out
for a run and on this tack with the
sun shining on the canvas of some
seven white wings the sight was a
pretty one.
The breakwater flag was rounded
to starboard by the Mischief 1 at 1885,
and by the Wasp at 2:46.
The short leg to the starting line
was made by the racers on one long
port tack and a short tack to star
board, the Mischief l winning the race
by coming across at 3:00:23, while the
Wasp finished at 3:11:25.
The breeze today was ideal, the
course laid out by the regatta commit
tee one of the best ever sailed over
and the handling of the two boats
was most praiseworthy. Unfortunate
ly, the other yachts did not enter,
many reasons being given, the prin-
cipal one being that the official meas
urements have not been made and the
| Ill -
Carse, the measurer for the club, is
to be here all the coming week, and
it is expected that the several time
allowances will have been completed
before the next event, which will be
| the cruise to Avalon on July 4.

card at the Coliseum motorcycle track
III the three heats of the 50-mile race
at ten, fifteen and twenty-five miles re-
spectively-he outdistanced all his op-

than De Roster, the old star of the
track, was ever able to do. incidentally
Lingenfelder set up two new worlds
competition records, the ten and rs

so terrific that it really removed all
elements of competition. Both per-

tain to be world beaten.
Agraz, although he persisted in his
effort to get speed out of his machine,
was a disappointment. Derkum was
unable to get his machines to deliver
their speed, while Mitchell struggled in
vain to keep up with the heart-break-
ing work of Lingenfelder.
Seymour, in the amateur class, on a
seven-horse power machine, held a
worlds record for about an hour by
putting the ten-mile figure at 8:15 80,
which Lingenfelder later lowered. Sey-
mour made a beautiful ride, passing
Ward five times in the ten miles,
Graves having previously dropped from

ATHLETICS

A D WOLGASTS fast mix-up with
Y Tommy O'Toole Saturday night in
Philadelphia ring was his last
appearance for the battle which the
Milwaukee boy regards as the supreme
effort of his life in the ring game. Yes
terday morning he boarded the train
bound for Los Angeles, and the fast
little featherweight will arrive here
about Friday, ready to begin hard
training for the bout with Nelson,
which will be staged at Maud Junction
over the ten-round distance, on Tues
day evening, July 19. The last of the
week will see the fight situation bright
ening up considerably in the city of the
Angels, for Battling Nelson will be also
on the ground by that time. Bat will
fight Jack Clifford in Oklahoma City
tomorrow night but there is no need
of figuring on this fight, since it we'll
be merely in the nature of preliminary
workout for the Battler. The next day
he will set about returning to this city
to enter his preparatory grind at Jack
Doyles South Side Athletic club.
Wolgast's battle with O'Toole, while
it was a no-decision affair at six
fouiuS anu lneIelo was AoI uo-
cisive contest, was eagerly watched for
by the local fans who were anxious to
know what the Milwaukee lad could do
with the tough native of the city of
brotherly affection. Abe Attell found
O'Toole a rough customer and 1t was
figured that Ar had rock row to
travel if he expected to dectsively whip
the easterner. Although there was no
great degree of difference when the
bout ended, dispatches tend to show
that had verdict been given Wolgast
would have been on the winning end.

head Bay Track

NEW YORK, June 20.-Racing in
terest in the United States this week
is centered chiefly in the classic subur-
ban handicap which will be run Thurs
day, the opening day at the Sheepshead
Bay track. =
Unless some unexpected withdrawals
are made at the eleventh hour, nearly
a score of thoroughbreds will start.
From form displayed in previous
races this season the suburban appears
to be a contest in which the stables of
James r. Keene sand Sam Hildreth
will be the chief contenders.
Mr.. Keene has strong entry in Celt
and Hilarious, and this pair probably
will be the favorites for the race.
