With the preliminary work on the
fortIfications for the Panama canal
under way, 1t h the intention OF the
army officers in charge to rush the
entire project through.
1t was learned at the War Depart
ment today that the plans for sea-
coast defenses, as well as garrisons,
have been drawn in strict accord with
the recommendations of the Panama
fortifications board. which was ap-
pointed by President Taft. to study
the plans of defense.
Preliminary surveys have shown
that the general scheme adopted by
the board OF army and navy officers,
of which Maj. Gen. Leonard Wood,
was chairman. is practical in every
particular from an engineering point
Of view.
Major Winslow's Mission.
Major E. Eveleth Winslow, Of the
Engineer Corps, who was in charge of a
portion of the great Pearl harbor work
in Hawaii, is slated to go to Panama in
the near future to conduct a portion of
the canal Notifications under Colonel
Goethals. Major Winslow is at present
III washington III ll0 OIlSS "a hAiS
chief Of engineers.
The surveying force on the isthmus
will devote all its time in the near
future to fortifications work. Steam
shovels and men will follow them along
the line. Part of the surveying force
is at present engaged in relocating the
Panama railroad.
Aside from the actual fortihcations
to be erected. Colonel Goethals will
start Immediately upon the construction
of permanent garrison posts for the
quartering Of troops on the isthmus.
With this idea in view. Brig. Gen.
James B. Aleshire, Quartermaster gen.
eral of the army, left Saturday for
Panama to consult with the canal COM
missioners and Colonel Goethals upon
the new type Of army post which is to
be adopted for general use IN this
country.
The new idea in army post construc-
ton provides for the erection of perma-
nent buildings OF concrete upon such
a scale as TO permit of the heavy mob
ilization Of troops at any given point
The new style construction will be used
firts for the garrison at Culebra, on the
isthmus.

What to do with women who
will be called to serve as jurors
with men when the Stevens
county superior court convenes
next September, is one of the
vexing problems.
If IL women are selected to try
a case and six disagree from the
other six.
If four women decide they are
right in a civil action and six
men jurors hold opposite views.
If a mixed jury of men and
women is kept together in a fel-
ony case until all are agreed up
on a verdict.
If six women and six men are
locked in a room to determine
the guilt or innocence Of a per-
son charged with a capital crime.
Relating to a service of jurors
in the superior court the law
adopted by the legislature Of
1911, says:
ANY woman wanting to be
excused from jury service may
claim exemption by signing q
written or printed notice thereof
and returning same to the sheriff
before the date of appearance,
and if exemption is claimed by
reason of sex, no fee shall be al
lowed for her appearance"
The law provides that the jury
sworn to try the issues in felony
cases shall be kept together and
in custody of the officers Of the
court except during the actual
progress Of the trial, thus put
ting it squarely up to the judges
to solve the problem, or allowing
the question to solve itself, if the
women who desire to serve as
jurors cannot settle it them
selves.

The Philadelphia North Amer
lean, a republican paper, prints
the following from it's Washing
ton correspondent:
by his Endorsement of the
Aldrich plan to place control of
the money and credit of the ma
tion absolutely under the control
of the Morgan Wall street finan-
cial combination, President Taft
has raised another issue between
himself and the progressive re-
publicans. He has presented
himself and his administration as
a new menace to public interest,
shown in a new line of agree
ment between himself and the
aggressive money power of Nor
gan and raised the progressives
to a higher plane of public USE
fulness, as a strong, effective
force the public can absolutely
rely upon to resist both that
power and the presidents efforts
to serve it.
''AbsoIute commercial and in
dustrial slavery must follow the
adoption Of the Aldrich plan, de-
clare the progressives. Its adop-
ton would place the individual
credit of every business man
and every independent corpora
tion under the supervision and
control of a committee to be
chosen by the money combina-
ton. It would place in that COM
mittee absolute power to de-
termine which individuals and
which corporations should be per-
mitted to continue in business.
It would make control of all lines
of industry and all commercial
enterprise subject to the will of
this committee. Antitrust laws
and laws regulating prices, if en-
acted in the future, would be alb
solutely puerile and useless as
means of public defense once the
Aldrich plan is put into effect.
The presidents speech was
read here with feelings Of absol-
ute amazement. In view of the
situation in congress and in the
country, it could only be accept
ed as q declaration by the presi-
dent that he takes his stand from

Employment agencies in Spo-
kane report there is a demand
for from 800 to 1000 laborers in
railroad and lumber camps and
on farms in the districts tribu-
tary to Spokane. There are
many apparently idle men in
Spokane; but few express a de-
sire to work, some waiting for
an advance in wages, while 9TH
ers are arranging to go to the
harvest fields. Many offers of
$35 and $40 a month and board
are listed on the bulletin boards
at Spokane agencies. Wages of
S.. rs a day to Americans and 81
a day to foreigners are adver-
tised by railroad companies with
construction work under way.
Sawmill laborers are wanted at
81. 25 a day, while skidding team
sters and drivers are offered
$3.50 day. Woodcutters are
offered 81. rs a cord. Free fare
is advanced by railroads and con-
struction companies. The ap-
proach of the harvest season and
the promised early opening of
work by contractors on the Can
adian Northern railroad in the
province of British Columbia is
said to be responsible for the
scarcity of men in these lines.

In connection with q resolution
introduced by Representative
Lindberg of Minnesota proposing
an investigation by = committee
to determine if there exists a
combination Of financiers in the
United States operating in re-
straint of trade or violation of
other laws, the Minnesota insur-
gent republican assailed the pro-
posed financial system submitted
to the monetary committee by
former Senator Aldrich.
The resolution calls for an in
vestigation of the banking, mon
ey, exchange and depbsit systems
Of the country, and makes sug-
gestions for remedy. wall
street." he said, in his statement
accompanying the resolution,
brought on the 1907 panic, got
the people to demand currency
reforms. brought the Aldrich-
Vreeland currency bill forward
and, if it dares, will produce an
other panic to pass the Aldrich
central bank plan. We need re-
form, but not at the hands of
Wall street.
Mr.. Liudberg said under the
Aldrich plan the reserve associa-
tion will take away from COM
munities funds that belong to the
communities and should be used
to build them up.
''Of the 45 directors proposed
for the association" said Mr..
Lindberg, each Of the fifteen
branches is to elect one. New
York City, Philadelphia and Bos-
ton would each control one, and
other large centers would control
others. Four would be sufficient
to make Wall street the sole ar
bitter. This provision for selec-
ton of directors contains the
principal joke in the Aldrich
plan.
Twelve directors are to be
elected by the Wall street crowd,
for capital of this country is now
controlled to the extent of 80 per
cent by 5000 persons and con-
cerns."
