PANAMA CANAL To BUY
ITS OWN F0RTIFICAT|0NS
! Members of Army Expert Board
Select Sites for Forts
Along Waterway

WASHINGTON, April 4.-The Pana-
ma canal will have to pay the expenses
of it's own fortifications. This appears
to be the opinion of members OF the
army expert board, who have just ar
rived at Washington after a careful
examination of the line OF the canal
with special reference to the selection
of sites for the forts.
In the act of 1902. although much
amended by subsequent legislation. it
would seem to carry that inference, and
consequently the cost of fertilization
probably will be met by the issue of
Panama canal bonds.
In the first place, the commission has
tentatively selected the sites for the
defenses of the canal, and at points
along the interior where it is exposed
to destructive attack, such as the Ga
tun dam, and the great Miratiores
locks. Much of this land belongs to
private parties, and its value must be
assessed before it can be acquired.
Much heavy ordnance, some of it dis
posed in 16-inch guns, probably will be
required, and it will be necessary to
hasten the project in order to ipsure its
completion by the date the canal will
be opened, in 1914 or 1915.

FEDERAL JUDGE REFUSES
To PUNISH SUGAR TRUST
Declares Subpoena Issued by
Jury During Its Investiga-
tions Too Sweeping

NEW YORK, April 4.-United States
Judge La Combe today refused to pun
ish the American Sugar Refining COM
pany for contempt of court. The gov
ernment had asked that the corpora
tion be declared in contempt for re-
fusing to produce its books before the
grand jury investigating the sugar
underweighing frauds I'm response to
a subpoena directed to the company
and served upon its secretary, Charles
r. Heike.
Heike refused to produce the books
unless sworn before the grand jury.
The government, believing that
ground for a claim of immunity might
thus be established, declined to put
him under oath and the grand jury
consequently did not obtain posses
sion of the books.
Judge La Combe said he regarded
the subpoena as far too sweeping to
be reasonable. He did not uphold the
contention of the sugar company that
IT could not be subpoenaed as a cor
poratlon. In his opinion Judge La
Combe said:
"No doubt this is a wholly novel
practice, but 1t seems to be a logical
outcome of the division between cor
poration and individual pointed out in
the American Tobacco case and Hale
VS.. Hankel, and the alleged difficulties
in such practice are theoretical rather
than practical
The company might select its own
messenger to produce the documents
wanted by a grand jury the court
thought, and such messenger would
not have 10 be an individual who
might be 1ncriminated by the doeu-
mentary evidence he carried with him.
The court declared corporation could
not refuse to produce the books on the
ground that it might incriminate it
self.
A second subpoena, which was
served on the president and resident
agent of the company. and restricted
TO specified books, was upheld by the
court, which denied the application of
the companys counsel to set 1t aside

The plaintiffs allege they contributed
S625 each to Griffin to properly record
the claim, ON promises that each would
have one-fourth interest in the prop +.

the money, but did nothing to record
the claim according to the mining laws,
and that he is going to sell what in

cordingly they ask the court to prevent
him selling.

Some of the thoughtful Democrats

apprehensive over the size of the Demo-

two to sixty-three over the Republicans.
There are members who would prefer to
see majority OF twenty or twenty-five.
They feel that bare advantage in num-
of@
| more useful at the beginning of their
coming into power than majority which
may prove unwieldy. This is borne out
i by the experience of the Republicans in
| the present Congress. Had the Demo
cratic majority been larger and the Re
! publican advantage less great, it is be-
lieved by many that the Republican fac
/ tional quarrels would not have been SO
destructive. A bare fighting majority
makes for cohesion. With so many Re-
publicans as there were last winter and
/ the winter before, it is often difficult to
! get them to attend the sessions. They
remain in the committee rooms about
| the Capitol or in their cosy corners in
the office building. Several times the
majority was caught mapping from this
very cause. The Democrats would have
preferred their great increase to have
come in 1912 when the party was in
practice. The Democrats know little Of
! discipline and will learn little with SO
great margin in their favor. Disci-
