CANAL FoRTIFIcATIoN
Is DESIRABLE
In the Opinion OF the General Board
of the Navy.

Washington, Jan. 23-Fortification
OF the Panama canal is desirable in
tho opinion Of the general board of
the navy, of which Admiral George
Dewey IL president. This board was
asked for an opinion on the subject
and in reply said in part:
The general board believes that the
proposed fertilization at the termini of
tho isthmian canal would be invalua-
BILE in assisting the transfer of a
United States fleet Elom one ocean to
the other. through the canal. in the
face of an opposing fleet. The func-
ton OF the fortifications in this par
ticular is precisely the same at the
canal termini as it is at any fortified
place from which a fleet may have to
issue in the face of an enemy's fleet
1t WAS because of a recent magazine
article by Rear Admiral Evans, re-
tired, in which it was said that no
amount~of fortifying the Panama ca
nal would render it of real value for
the passage of a fleet of war vessels
from one ocean to the other after
war had been declared or when war
was known to be inevitable, and also
because similar statements were made
on the floor of the house of repre-
sentatives that the general board was
asked for it's opinion in the matter.

Confirmation
FRIENDS DID NOT PRESS CASE
WHEN CALLED UP.
JUDGE WILLIAM H. HUNT
Recently Promoted to Circuit Judge,
ship for Assignment to New Gem
msree court-charses Filled.

Washington, Jan. 23.-Neariy hs1f
of the members of the senate judi
ciary committee are said to have taken
positions against the confirmation or
Judge William H.. Hunt, nov serving
as q s1nember Of the court Of customs
appeals, and promoted to a circuit
judgeship for assignment to the new
commerce court. When his case was
called up in the committee today in
consequence of the opposition his
friends. did not press the case. al
though all of the others appointed to
circuit judgeships for service on the
new court were ordered reported ia
vorably.
The judges acted upon were Robert
w. Archbold of Pennsylvania. John r..
Garland of South Dakota, and Julian
w. Mark of Illinois. Judge Martin A.
Knapp, former chairman of the inter
state commerce commission, was con
firmed before the holiday recess for
presiding judge. Inasmuch as there
were four members of the court
against whom there were no contests
it is expected these will organize the
new court as soon as those reported
today are confirmed.
Montana Land Owners File Charges.
Soon after the appointment of Judge
Hunt was sent to the senate, charges
were fled against him by Montana
land owners, who alleged that while
| serving on the federal district bench
there he aided smelling interests by
| delaying court proceedings brought by
| land owners who complained that their
| property was being injured by fumes
| from the Anaconda smelter. The ef-
| feet Of the charge was to cast refiec-
| tions upon Judge Hunts integrity by
! seeking to show that he had been sub
| servient to corporation influences.
| Democrats Opposed Confirmation
| A subcommittee took up ths
| charges against Judge Hunt and made
| an investigation which resulted in two
| reports to the full committee, the ma .
! jority being in favor OF his confirms =
| ton. When the full committee cor e
sidered the case today the democrats
are said to have unanimously opposed
confirmation. They we're joined b.
some of the republicans and although
no vote was taken the meeting did not
augur for confirmation at this ses-
sion.
No appointment has been made ia
the customs court to succeed judge
| Hunt, and it, is the belief at. tho cap
litol that if he Is not confirmed for
the commerce court he win retain his
present position.

GREAT BLOW SUSTAINED
BY THE scHENK DEFENSE.
Evidence Of Mrs. Jane Hedges Ruled
Out-Arsuments Begin.

Wheeling, w. VT, Jan. z5.-Tfe end
Of the trial of Laura Farnsworth
Schenk on q charge of administering
lead poison and arsenic to her hus-
band. John 0. Schenls, is now in sight,
arguments having been begun this
afternoon at 3.15. 1t is expected that
the case Of the accused will be in the
hands of the jury not later than We'd
nesday noon. The attorneys are not
limited as to time in their arguments,
and as each side has three speeches
another day and a half will be requir-
ed.
Apparently the greatest blow. vet
sustained by the defense was struck
this morning. when, on motion of
Prosecuting Attorney Hand1an, the ev-
1dence of Mrs. Jane Hedges was ruled
out. 1t was this witness who testified
that Albert Schenie said he would
leave no stone unturned to rid the
family of John o. schenk'O wife" The
defense played it's trump card in Mrs.
Hedges, relying upon her to prove
their contention that members Of the
Schenk family had conspired against
the woman who is fighting for her Lib
erty.
The evidence given by Mrs. Hedges
was ruled out On tho ground that nc
overt act suggestive Of a conspiracy
had been attributed to Albert Schenk
or other relatives. The defense object
ed strenuously to having the testimony
stricken from the records. but Judge
Jordan was firm in his ruling.
The state Immediately after the ex-
ciusion Of Mrs. Hedges testimony an
nounced that they would close their
case, taking counsel for defense and
every one else by surprise, as it had
been anticipated that a number Of wit
nesses would be put on in rebuttal

Another Vote
sENAToRsHfP- QUESTION STILL
REMAINS A DEADLOCK.
VARIOUS RuMoRs .AFLOAT
But No Open charges-sheehan's To.
tai Vote Monday Was Sc, as COM
pared With 80 on First Ballot.

Albany, jan 23.-With all but five
members of the legislature present and
voting, the sixth joint ballot for United
States senator was taken today and
showed William T. Sheehan, the Muir
ply caucus candidate IS votes short
of the majority necessary to elect him.
AS there was one pair still effective,
however, his net loss for the ballot was
only one.
/ This one was represented by Senator
Frank M. Loomis of Erie county, who
in accordance with the promise con-
tanned in his statement of Saturday
broke away from the caucus, which he
has hitherto respected. He cast his
vote for Morgan J. O'Brien ex-justice
of the supreme court.
No Talk Of, compromise Candidates.
A singular feature of the situation
is the almost complete absence of talk
about compromise candidates. The
same list of names shows on the daily
ballot, but no aspirant has made any
noticeable gains. Mr.. Sheehan's total
today was So, as compared with 80 the
day the first ballot was taken, but not
counting individual supporters of his
who at various times haye been abb
sent his aggregate loss since that time
is only three votes. Edward M. Shep-
| ard polled 18 today, just the same as
| on the first ballot The Legislators
seem to be convinced that Alton E.
Parker meant what he said when he
said that he was not in the race and
| his vote originally seven, declined to-
| day to one.
Various Rumors.
| The prolongation of the contest has
given rise to various rumors, but at
no time have these attained the digni-
| ty Of open charges. 1t was learned that
| the insurgents have agreed that If any
| one of them experiences any financial
| inconvenience or pressure as the result
| of his stand the rest will assist him.
| Sheehan Denies a Report.
Mr.. Sheehan has not uttered a wore
| for publication except that today he
| denied a report that he conferred with
| Thomas F. Ryan and other powerful
1 financiers before he left New York
| This rumor was traced to Senator
Franklin D. Roosevelt, the "insurgent'
| leader. who said he was reliably in
| formed to that effect last night.

Criticism of the Ballot Which Elected
Lodge Senator.

Boston, Jan. 23.-Criticism on the
part of Boston newspaper of the bal
lot by which Senator Henry Cabot
Lodge was recently reelected for an
other term today led District Attorney
Pelletier to call upon Foster Coates,
managing editor of the paper, for such
evidence, if any, as might be in his
possession to substantiate charges
which had been made.
The paper stated that federal office
holder and a Boston city official had
secured the votes of two democrats for
Senator Lodge by promises.
It is understood that Il any evidence
warranting an Investigation is forth
coming it will be placed before the

Free Time On
Cotton Shipments
3. q NJ. ROAD NOTIFY INTER
STATE COMMENCE COMMISSION
ONLY 48 HOURS ALLOWED
On Shipments Destined to Points on
It's Line-compIianee with Uniform
Demurrass Regulations Decided On.

Washington. Jan. 23.-Notification
has been received by the interstate
commerce commission that the Bos-
ton & Maine railroad will, after Feb
ruary 20, allow only 4S hours free
time on cotton shipments destined to
points on its line.
B. 4 M. in Line With Other Roads.
This act by the Bosten & Maine is
a compliance with the uniform demur-
rage regulations recommended by tho
commission and adopted by majority
Of the roads throughout the country
The uniform demurrage rules were not
accepted by the New England lines as
a whole because of the peculiar condi-
tions existing in that territory. A few
years ago the Boston & Maine gave
ten days free time on shipments Of
cotton, but recently the free time was
reduced to five days. Now the road
has decided that it further will re-
duce the free time to 48 hours, in ac-
cordance with the demurrage regula-
tions
Fundamental Difficulty.
The diffaculty with which all of the
New England lines have been laborine
is fundamental. Cotton is shipped
from some point in the south to Y
consignee In New England bearing g
dress may be marred or absolutely
destroyed en- route. The bale Of cot
ton can be identified only by it's quail
ity and even that Identification canno1
be relied upon.
The result is that hundreds of bales
of cotton lie in the railroad warehouses
sometimes for many months. Mean
time, as prices fluctuate, the cottor
| may become more valuable, or les!
valuable, as the case may be, apf
either the buyer or the seller is in the
| throes of financial trouble.
It finally has been decided by TIL,
Boston e Maine that this particular
| difficulty cannot be remedied by ex
| tending the free time in the demurrag,
regulations and 1t proposes to give tn
| shipper only the IS hours prescribed
| by the uniform rules
