DIFFICULTIES MAY ARISE
rroPositlon Is Put Up to Executive Through Conflict of Authority and Interests Which May Come
 Up in Canal Zone.

Washington, Nov. 4.-President Taft VIII go to Panama with all possible speed as soon as the election is over. lie Is much worried over the situation there.
 MT. Taft Is very anxious not to sad de his administration with the annex alton of defenseless republic, the independence of which is guaranteed by the United States under treaty; but 1t is the almost unanimous opiu- ion of American officials on the 18th. mus that the United States absolutely must take over Panama before the canal is completed and this has been urged upon the president by some of the most conservative and responsible Panamans, for whom personally he has the highest regard.
 Already great inconvenience has arisen in connection with labor and police problems on the isthmus on account of dual authority, and it is certain that when the canal Is oDen much greater difficulties will arise from the fact that at the Pacific ter minus, the port of Balboa will be under American jurisdiction and that of Panama under Panaman jurisdic- tion; and that at the Atlantic termi- nus Christobal will be an American and Colon a Panaman port.
 Trouble With Concessions
 This is certain to be especially in- convenient in regulating concessions for supplying coal to ships passing through the canal.
 Besides the Panaman government is in sore financial straits.
 When the Panama revolution had been brought about in 1903 and Secre- tary of State Hay had signed the treaty with Baunau Varilla under which the United States agreed to pay $10,000,000 to the unfledged republic, Roosevelt insisted, it Is claimed, that no less than $S,0OO,000 should be in vested in "a secure manner" (mort- gages on New York real estate) in or der to sustain the finances of the re- public.
 Of the ten million, $1,000000 was paid to J. F. Morgan X Co.,, who re- tained $622,000 to pay drafts met for the account of the revolutionary junta, but the remaining $37S,000, so it is said, has never been satisfactorily ac counted for The other $9,000,00 was paid to ], P. Morgan & Go. by order of President Roosevelt, against the ex- pressed wishes of the Panama govern ment. and of this amount, $6,000,000 was invested in New York real esyate mortgages.
 The expenses of government in Pan anna have been greater than the reve- nues: money has been .frittered away on public buildings reeking with graft and on diplomatic missions to reward political friends and remove foes from the isthmuS

Joseph Murphy, who is combat
ting the 100000 issue of park
bonds voted last May, has taken
the case into court through his at
torneys. Birdseye & Smith. He
has not asked for temporary re-
straining order. as the corporation
counsel has agreed that the bonds
shall not be issued until the out
come of the suit is determined.
The complaint alleges that the
election by which the bond issue
was decided was not legal for the
following reasons:
That the city charter did not
give power for the election as
held; that tie election officials
were not properly sworn and quail
fled and that number of the
Judges were appointed according tC
the wishes of citizens who paid fol
the services, instead of having i'm

CONTRACTORS STATEMENTS.
A prominent contractor, who is

unpleasantness which would result,
both with the other contractors and
the city officials, said yesterday
afternoon:
why. they're throwing away bet
ter 'culls' on some jobs than the ma
jority of the bricks that are to be
used in Brownies addition. On the
Barber job, on Lincoln between
Fourteenth and Nineteenth, the city
inspector has ordered bricks
thrown out which are a great deal
superior to thousands of Hills"
Incidentally, the Barber concern
made a kick to Mccartney yester-
day against the autocratic decis-
ions and alleged incompetency OF
the inspector, and Mccartney prom.

that the inspector had been too

One incident will show how the
contractors are wide awake to the
facts relating to the brick which
will go into the work in Brownies
addition. A couple of days ago,
while lunching at Davenport's. a
number of contractors were talking

of the work being done by the Hill
company. He limited broadly at the
brick they We're going to put in on
the job, and his remarks were
rather resented by several present.

explanations before long.

POPULAR
IN CRISIS
(By United Press Leased Wire)

MADRID, July 30.-The abrupt
severance of friendly relations OF
Spain with the vatisan brings King
Alfonso into the foreground of Eu
ropean politics today. The oppo
nents of the young monarch have
doubted the sincerity of the kings
anti-religious actions from the time
the church and state locked horns
in Spain. Today they praise the
kings stand and give him credit
rather than Premier Canalejas, who
still is held in popular suspicion.
Marquis Emilio De Ojeda, Span.
ish ambassador to the vatican,
probably will return his credentials
to his holiness and start for Mad
rid today. This would mark the
severance of relations, which now
virtually are broken off through the
official announcement made by the
kings prime minister.

pected to throw the kingdom into
