Panama Canal Problems.

1t is doubtful If any man mas more
complete knowledge of all branches of
the work on the Panama canal project
than has President Taft. He has fol-
lowed the enterprise from its begin
ming and has kept in touch with the
progress by personal visits to the
zone of operations. Now it is said
/ he is going again in November for
another close scrutiny of the work.
He has kept watch of the legislative
and financial features as well as
| making the dirt fly" and the country
at large will feel every confidence in
his judgment concerning the problems
| which must continue to arise.
The question of tolls on the canal IS
/ one of the first and most important
now to be considered by the govern
ment. 1t is an encouraging evidence
| to the public of the nearness of COM
pletion of the project. But the peo-
pie must not expect to count the big
ditch as a revenue producer to the
extent of even a fair percentage of
profit on the enormous investment.
Were an attempt made to make it "a
business proposition the tolls would
necessarily be so heavy as to discOur-
age shipping.
The largest shipping concern oper-
| ating on the Pacific Coast is the
American Hawaiian Steamship Com
pany This company is expected to
have d fleet of forty five ships in COM
mission when the canal is ready for
business 1t now uses the rail route
across the Isthmus of Tehuantepec,
| and it is announced that If the toll
| through the canal will make the cost
of shipping less, the company will use
| the waterway: otherwise it will con-
| tinue its present method" One Of the
strongest reasons given for the con-
| struction of the canal was it's strategic
value il time of war. If we still hold
| that view of the canal. it might be
! proper to charge the greater part OF
the construction and operating ex-
pense to that account.
1t will not do to underestimate the
influence which the Tehuantepec rail
route will always have on shipping
passing between the Atlantic and the
| Pacific, and it would seem that the
rates must be made low enough to in
duce shipping which now uses the rail
route to make use of the canal. There
| is, of course, distinct advantage in
sending cargoes through the canal as
compared with the rehandling neces-
| sary by way of Tehuantepec. but
some Of this advantage is lost in the
saving of distance which the vessels
| must steam. 1t would seem like a
very difficult matter to determine in
advance just what the tolls should be.
1t might be necessary to change them
very quickly after they were e>tab-
| lished.
Other very important features
| which will demand the attention of
the President at Panama are the pro-
posed Notifications, the form of gov
eminent for the Canal Zone and the
Regulation of the sale of coal The
right of this Government to fortiiy the
canal is no longer questioned. but the
problem OF government in the Canal
Zone offers opportunity for the eXer-
else of good judgment and diplomacy.
traits with which the President is well
| applied.

Himself With Samuel Gompers
Prior 10 Their Conference.

Washington, Aug. s.-President Sam
uel GOmpers OF the American Fedora
ton of Labor today received a letter
from President Meyer of the Western
Federation OF Miners denying that in
his speech before the recent miners
convention II Denver he had made a
statement disparaging either TO the

GOmpers as its president.
He explained that he had told the
delegates that Mr.. GOmpers, after thirty
years of labor. should be retired on a
pension for the good work he had
done. If the policy of the American
Federation was wrong. he declared, he
had also said TO the delegates, IL was
their duty TO endeaVor TO change IL by
becoming a part of the national body.
Mr.. Meyer asked Mr.. Gompers TO
name the place and time for a confer
ence between representatives of the
American Federation of Labor and the

ROBBERY MOTIVE
OF THE MURDERER
Cleveland Police Abandon the
Theory That Rice Was Killed
for Revenge.

Cleveland. o., Aug. s.-The theory
that William l. Rice. the wealthy at
torney, whose murdered body was
found near his Euclid Heights home on
Friday, was assassinated for revenge
was practically abandoned by the police
this evening. The discovery of new
clews yesterday and today, all of which
point to attempted robbery being the
motive of the crime, have confirmed
their opinion that hOld-up men are re-
sp0nsible for the lawyers death
From some source which they refuse
to disclose, the police claim TO have
learned that a robbery had been
planned by professional criminals in
the neighbOThOOd OF Mr.. Rice's home
on the night of the murder. The two
objections TO the robbery theory are
that the body was found lying in the
full glare of an arc light, and that
nothing of value had been removed
from fl.
The police explain this on the ground
that the murder was preceded by a
struggle. in which Mr. Rices assail-
ants were forced into the light, and
that the noise of an approaching auto
mobile frightened them away before
they had a chance to rifle their victim

People can live in a temperature
which feels from ten to twenty degrees
cooler than their neighbors enjoy, by

The plan is TO avoid meat entirely

four heaping teaspOonfuls of Grape

Add to this about two slices OF crisp
toast with a meager amount of butter

BY this selection OF food the bodily
