TO PAY EXPENSES
OF PANAMA CANAL
COL. COCKTAILS HAS PLAN FOR
SUPPLYING AND REPAIR
ING VESSELS IN
TRANSIT.

Washington, ID. g, Feb. 13-The op-
erations of the Panama canal when
completed as a business proposition
was suggested by Col. George w.
Goethals, chief engineer of the canal
in a speech before the nationai Geo
graphic society Col. Goethals ex-
pressed the belief that the canal can
be operated not only so as to pay OPP
Grating expenses but also so as grad
ually TO repay the cost OF It's construc-
ton.
He proposes that the canal author
tiles be permitted to sell coal and oil
as fuel To steamers and urges also
that the marine shops now at Gorgna
be moved to a point on the coast
where they will be Of use in making
repairs to vessels using the canal. A
dry dock will also be needed there
for commercial purposes, he said. To
carry out this policy, however, legis-
lation will be necessary.
'Tn whatever light the Panama can
al is viewed" Col Goethals added, ''it
will have paid for itself, If in time of
war or threatened war, a concentra-
ton Of the fleet is effected without
that long, tedious, uncertain route fol-
lowed by the oregon. 1t will practi-
cally double the efficiency of the feet
and Notwithstanding the fact that we
are a peaceful nation, our outlying
possessions make the Panama canal
a military necessity and it must so
be recognized"

between New York and the southern
drill grounds.
The third division will have bases
at Pensacola and Key West and OPP
crate i'm the Gulf of Mexico.
The fourth division will maintain
its headquarters in Cape Cod bay and
operate off the New England coast
north OF Cape Cod.
More attention than usual will be
paid to the resistance of torpedo at
tack which the naval strategists ap-
preciatc as something which must be
reckoned with. In fact. the designs
of the new battleships to be author
lied at this session Of Congress will
probably include, it is said, armor of
increased thickness to protect the un-
derwater portions.
In July the ships will probably rem

cises. etc. II is now planned to have

Senator Bailey Of Texas Talks in
Senate Today in Support Of 4
New Member From
Illinois
SEES DANGER IN OUSTING HIM
Araues IL Would Permit Dishonest
Faction of Legislature to Disable
Honest Majority in choos-
ing Senators.

washington, ID. c., Feb. 13.-Sena-
tor Bailey of Texas today defended
I,orimer's title to seat in the senate.
The Texas senator's remarks were de-
voted largely to the substantiation of
his contention that a sufficient num-
ber of votes must be shown to have
been bought to affect the result, un-
less IL is proven that the official whose
election is challenged personally par
ticipated in the offense.
Senators Root, Cummins and Borah,
opponents of Lorimer, were each in
turn requested to stand up and ex-
press their opinions as to the legal
senator admitted that if 1t is conclu
sively shown an officer affected, en-
couraged or sanctioned bribery, then
his election is void without reference
to the extent of the bribery.
He denied, however, that Lorimer
had any knowledge of bribery in his
behalf. He then proceeded to show
by mathematical calculation that even
if the seven alleged bribed votes were
not counted for Lorimer, he still had
been legally and properly chosen and
had clear majority. He denied the
legality of any proposition to declare
invalid the entire election because OF
the alleged tainting of a dishonest
faction. Declaring law as he had pro-
pounded il would prove to be the best
protection against the baleful infiu-
once of corruptionists in our politics
BAILEY said that mo matter now hon
est the gentlemen on the other side
may be, ii is still true that in striving
to reverse the precedents of the senate
and overrule the courts Of the country
they are seeking to establish a doc
trine that will permit dishonest fac
tion Of legislature to disable an hon
est majority from choosing a senator
to represent their state"
