TAFT TO VIEW Big DITCH
PRESIDENT WILL MAKE FLYING
TRIP TO PANAMA..
Will Seek First Hand Information q.
Aid Congress in Solving
Problems.

Beverly, Observation-Disclosures
Taft will sail for the Isthmus of Pam
anna on Nov. 10 from Charleston, s!
c., on the armored cruiser North Caro-
lima and will be conveyed by the sister
ship, the Montana. These are the
same vessels used by Mr.. Taft in his
Panama trip just before his inaugura-
ton. The president will be gone
about twelve days.
The president had practically given
up all idea of visiting the canal this
year until Colonel George w. Goethalsl
chief engineer of the canal, spent two
hours with him. At the end CT that
time Mr.. Taft had been convinced that
the problems confronting the officials
at Panama require his presence on the;
isthmus. Although his visit will be al
flying one, the president expects to be-
able to secure first hand information
on number of matters which he VILE
call upon congress to deal with.
Some Of the problems to be dealt
with in the immediate future are as,
follows:
The extent and character of the for
tifications, the fixing of tolls for thei
passage of vessels through the canals
a proposed increase in wages, the full
ture management of the Panama rail-
road, the form of permanent govern-s
ment for the canal zone and the regu-
lation of the sale Of coal at the term
mus points. The government may go
into the business of selling coal itself
in order to prevent the possibility of
eXtortion or monopoly.
Mr.. Taft had thought that several
of these questions would not require
settlement for a year or more, but
Colonel Goethals put matters in diff
ferent light. The question of tolls
which it was thought could wait until
the canal is much nearer completion,
was explained by Colonel Goethals to-
be one Of the most pressing for con-
gress to meet. An international con-
ference of steamship owners and ship
ping interests is to be held in Berlin
in the summer of 1911. 1t is believed
to be highly important that congress
should have fixed the rates of toll by
that time.
The authorities believe that the in
fluence the canal will have upon ship
ping should be felt and be discussed
at this conference. The canal must be
made to attract shipping and, at the
same time, an effort will be made to.
have the toll charges meet the inter
est on the $4O0,00O,000 investment
which the canal will represent.
The date for opening the Panama
canal has been set fee January H.,
1915. President Taft and COLONEL Goe-
thals believe it will be completed and
open long before that time

OVER-OCEAN FLIGHT
Walter Welman and Grew Start Over
Ocean in Airship America

Atlantic City. Oct 15.-Sail ng into
a thick fog Walter Wellman with
crew of five, tonight. is believed to be
on an epoch-making voyage TO Eu-
rope, in the huge cigar-shaped airship
America Starting from the beach
after s o'clock this morning, the big
ar craft was soon out of the sight of
the cheering crowd.
The latest information indicated
that Wellman tonight is easily sailing
through the darkness off the New
York coast.
The men who are making the first
over the ocean flight of an airsfip
are Walter Wellman. commander;
Melvin Vaniman, chief engineer, r.
Murray S mons, navigator; J. K. r.
win, wireless operator; John Au ert
and Albert Loud, assistant eneineers.
The final decision to make the trip
came early this morning, aieeT Well
man had been criticised by the peo-
pie for his delay.
| At HOS o'clock came the first word
from the airship. The first message
eyer sent from an airship at sea, fol
| lows:
Headed northeast, all are we'll OF
| DOdIu, llC lllaSulbSly 10 WI AAh5 iAAAS
Good bye j. Irwin"
After this messages came frequently
and all reported good progress. Among
the anxious people that crowded thu
little wireless station on the pier herr
were Mrs. Wellman, her two daugh
ters and Mrs. Vaniman.
The last message received from
Wellman late this afternoon was t.
the effect that the course had bee1
laid from the North Passage from
New Foundland and that the spec
had heen cut to fifteen knots for tn
purpose of saving the gasoline fue3
By that he meant that though as
ISOLATED for many years with the "ol
guard in congress, he had frequent
ly felt the lack of sympathy with man
of the measures they advocated; h
was at heart a progressive.
