TRUSTS NOT BARRED.
May Get Contracts for Supplies for
Panama Canal.

The Attorney General has given an
opinion to the Secretary of War that he
the latter cannot lawfully refuse to
award a contract for purchases of ma
terial and equipment for use in the con-
struction Of the Panama canal to the
lowest responsible bidder simply because
such bidder has been adjudicated to be a
party to an unlawful trust and MONOPOLY
or otherwise carrying on business In
violation of the Sherman antitrust act.
This opinion is based on a joint resolu-
ton passed by Congress June q, 1906, as
follows:
THAT purchase of material and equip
mer1t for use in the construction Of the
Panama canal shall be restricted to ar
ticles of domestic production and manu-
facture from the lowest responsible bid
der. unless the President shall in any
case deem the bids or tenders therefor
to be extortionate or unreasonable
In accordance with the opinion, the
Secretary of War has instructed the pur-
chasing agent Of the isthmian canal com
mission that no person or corporation can
be debarred from bidding to furnish ma
terial and equipment for use in the con-
structlon OF the Panama canal simply
on the ground that such person or COR
poration has been adjudicated to be a
party to an unlawful trust or monopoly
Contracts for about two million dollars
worth Of oil are involved.

NEW CHIEF OF ENGINEERS.
Col. w. H. Bixby to Succeed Gen
Marshall June IL.

Col. William H. Bixby. Corps of En-
gineers, president of the Mississippi
river commission, with station at ST.
Louis, will be appointed chief Of engi-
neers Of the army June IL next. on re-
tirement of the incumbent. Gen. Will
liam L. Marshall, by operation Of law,
on account of age,
Secretary Dickinson made that an
nouncement today on the authority Of
President Taft.
The selection meets with almost uni
the reason that Col. Bixby is first In
line OF promotion and is logically enti-
tied to preferment, both by length of
service and by ability and experience
as an engineer.
col. Bixby was born in Charlestown,
Mass, in December. 1912. and was one of
the graduates of the Military Academy of
the class of 1873 He subsequently took a
course of instruction in engineering at
Paris, France, and was then made pro-
lessor of military engineering at West
Point.
In 1880 he was sent by the government
to attend the maneuvers of the French
army and to examine and report OH iron
fortifications In Europe. In 1887 he made
a special report on the Charleston earth
quake. Since then he has been in charge
OF river and harbor works in North caro-
lima. Virginia. South Carolina. Connect1-
cut, Rhode Island, Ohio, the upper Mis-
sissippi river basin and the great lake re-
gion.
He has had charge OF important works
at and near Detroit, Chicago and st.
Louis, and has been identified with the
Improvement of the Mississippi river for
several years. He was chairman of the
board which investigated the proposed
channel from Chicago. to the Gulf of
Mexico, and, as an engineering expert,
accompanied the national waterways
commission on its recent visit to Europe.
It is mentioned as happy coincidence
of possible Significance that Col Bixpy
will retire for age in December, 1913. or
about the time fixed for the completion
OF the Panama canal, and 80 permit
Of the appointment Of Col. Goethals as
chief Of engineers at that time.
