ANNEX PANAMA
This and Problem of Fortifica.
ton of Canal Will Cause Taft
to Hurry to Isthmus
Especial Dispatch TO The Call

tSpectdt Dispatch 10 he Gall
WASHINGTON Nov president
Taft will vote in Cincinnati November
8, and November 10 embark on the Ten
nessee, with the Montana as escort, and
hurry to Panama He- Is much wor-
ried over the situation there
Two OF the most pressing problems
are the annexation of Panama and the
fortihcation of the canal. Both must be
settled at least two years before the
canal opening. Colonel Goethals has
told the president that he expects to
have the work so we'll along that 1t
will be possible to use the canal and
send warships through by November 1,
1913.
President Taft is very anxious not
to saddle his administration with the
annexation of the republic, the inde-
pendence Of which is guaranteed blythe
United States under the Hay-Bunau Va
rilla treaty. but 1t is the almost unani-
nous opinion Of American officials on
the isthmus that the United States alb
solutcly must take over Panama before
the canal is completed.
The fact that the Pacific terminus
the port of Balboa-will be under
American jurisdiction. and that of
Panama under Panaman jurisdiction,
and that at the Atlantic terminus.
Cristobal, will be an American and
Colon Panaman port is certain to
be specially inconvenient in reguIat-
ing concessions for supplying coal to
ships passing through the canal
Besides, the Panama government is
in sore financial straits Expenses
have been greater than revenues:
money has been frittered away on pub
lie buildings reeking with graft, and
on diplomatic missions to reward po-
litical friends and remove political foes
from the isthmus.
Something has got to be done. Even
Taft recognizes that, but he wishes to
deal with the problem on the spot. So
far three solutions have been proposed
The first is for the United States to
eral territory.
The second is to widen the canal zone
to 25 miles on either side of the canal
so as to take in the cities of Panama
and Colon, together with Porto Bello
and other strategic landing places and
possible coaling stations and then to
give back to Colombia all the territory
on the east side and let Costa Rica an
mex the territory on the west.
The third plan. TO which President
Taft is believed to incline, is to ap-
point an American adviser to the Pan
anna government. who might be called
the minister resident and to put
Americans in as heads of some depart
ments.
The other problem confronting Pres
ident Taft is whether or not the canal
shall be fortified.
The president wishes to place all the
facts before congress and although
personally entirely in favor of build
ing the fortifications, he wishes to see
for himself whether the cost can not
be reduced.

CHICAGO Streets
Sixty Policemen Have Desperate
Fight With Several Thou=
sand Strikers

CHIC AGO, Nov. inspector S. K
Healy and so policemen with drawn
revolvers late today charged several
thousand striking garment workers
who were rioting on the east side. One
policeman was stabbed. Is rioters were
seriously injured and 90 strikers were
arrested during the fight, which threat
ened to get beyond police control.
This, the most serious outbreak since
the inception of the strike, occurred
at the plant of A. Lott & Co. Before
the police arrived the strikers had
pany's building, had driven strike
breakers out and had carried large
number of sewing machines into the
streets, where they were destroyed.
The strikers and their followers put
up a desperate fight Many of them
volvers of the police and not few
were trampIed upon.
Men and women were hurting stones
and bricks through the windows of the
plant when Healy and his reserves ar
rived. The inspector experienced diff
fculty in getting together the disor-
ganized policemen who had borne the
brunt of the early fighting. When he
had done so the policemen charged
through the mob, knocking down all in
their way.
The police are making preparations
for calling in reserves from outlying
stations and mobilizing a large force in
the downtown district
Josie Mielewzki, II years old. led one
of the most serious riots when an at
tack was made on the shops of Kuhn,
Nathan & Fisher this afternoon. The
strikers. numbering 200, had broken
several windows when the police ar
rived. At the word charge from the
police the girl shouted: Get together,
men; charge the police. Get the jump
on 'em."
The strikers responded to her call
and attacked the bluecoats The lat
ter used their clubs and scattered the
mob. Josie fought to the last, contin-
uinS her resistance even IN the patrol
wagon.
A mob of 300 stormed the Hart,
Schaffner & Marx building with bricks
and stones. breaking windows and hit
ting a number of strike breakers.
Chief of Police Stewart declared to-
day that clubwomen. settlement work

union taxicab, Jack Johnson, heavy
weight pugilist. was struck by thrown
brick, cutting a large cash in his fore
head. The champion. who received a
message from his attorney in New York
urging him to hasten east. packed his
grip. summoned the first cab he could
find. and started for the station.
AS the cab turned into Van Buren
street at Clark, where crowd of union
drivers had congregated, some one
threw a brick through the window
which struck Jack and stunned him for
a few minutes.
The champion deplored the incident
and said he never stopped to notice In
what sort of a vehicle he was riding

was aimed at the driver.

Tramp Arouses Suspicion

The mysterious tramp with the ban

homes for food He is described as
being tall and well built with pleas

II is the theory Of the authorities. to-
whom Larsen has reported that the
tramp may be "Smithy," and that
through one Of the acts of misjudg~
ment that have characterized his mOve~
ments since he bought the dynamite at
Giant. he failed to provision hts noun
tain retreat with sufficient food. They
believe that he intended to hide on the
southeastern slope of Mount Tamal-
pals only while the chase was hottest.
and hoped to escape to San Francisco
when the search subsidized But the
discovery that he had lived at Corte
MADEIRA and been frequent visitor at
Larkspur interrupted his plans. The
trace of his visits to the hut in tho
canyon. the discovery Of the Dynamite
and the presence Of the mysterious
tramp have so frightened the coils about
him, say the officials. that he naturally
would only dare venture forth at night,
and then only in isolated districts.

"Smithy." the Los Angeles dynamite

liam Larsen, close friend Of Town
Marshal Murphy. and president OF the
Larkspur water company. Larsen has
been making an investigation since
the discovery Of the suitcase and dyna-
mite in the canyon. and has found
traces of a man answering "Smithys"
description. who has been calling as
isolated homes for food, always with
a bandage over his left eye.
Cabin Is Occupied
Added to this Larsen has found thar
the supposedly deserted cabin near
which the dynamite was found Sunday
has been occupied recently. He is in
the habit of inspecting the water
mains and pipe connections of the
water company, and found today thar
the stop cock on the pipe leading to-
the lonely hut had been turned on. A
wrench was used TO turn the valve.
and the man who used it possessed
great strength, as Larsen has been
unable to shut of the water with the
ordinary sized wrench which he al
ways carries.
The opening of the stop cock allows
only persons inside the house 10 use
the water. Larsen is convinced that
some one has been sleeping In the
house, from view of the interiors

doors and windows are still securely
locked. Uncertain as TO the owner
Of the cabin, he hesitates to force an

Mr.. Anderson and the others declared
that the body resembled d'zilva. Alex

very well, established the identification
from the clothing
The body was fully clothed. There
was nothing in the pockets but the

him to Princeton. Mr.. Mackie was en-
trusted with his care.
The discovery of the body ends a
nerve-racking search by the sernina-
rians for d'Zilva. Since Sunday they
have been combing the countryside in
parties for him, and in canoes have
gone over almost all of Carnegie Lake
and the canal nearby. Hope of finding
him alive here was given up yesterday.
