Smuggling by Aeroplane.

Charles Frapcis Bourke has achieved
fame, at least among our Sunday Maya
zine readers, for his stirring tales Of

that has come from him in long time,
however, has been entered in our prize

Jack Carlin. in charge Of the wireless
station at Ships Bottom, was suspected
of being in league with a gang Of
smugglers who we're so up-to-date as to
use aeroplanes to convey their illicit
importatiOns. from vessels in the of1ing
to land. a new form OF smuggling that
the government seemed poWerless to
combat successfully. Among the rug
ged. honest toilers Of the station this
suspicion was intolerable. and poor Car

ing men employed IN the construction Of
the Panama canal, q desire on their part
to do every thing in their power to hasten
the great work to successful completion and
a general air Of optimism and cheerfulness
in the Canal Zone are among the most
striking Impressions Of Panama brought
back by 0. fl. Tittmann, director Of the
coast and seodetic survey, who recently
spent ten days looking over the work on
the canal
There has been some doubt in the
minds Of the general public III this coun-
try" said Mr.. Tittmann, "as to the justice
in paying the French $400O.O00 for the
work which they did toward constructing
the canal before we took hold. There has
been q tendency to believe this an unnec-
essary Sift. But you have only to ex-
anime actual conditions in the zone to
understand that the United States really
got bargain.

The French spent 2eOooO.ooo in the
Canal Zone In digging, making locks and
erecting buildings. OF course. we changed
the plans and route Of the canal to q
certain extent. but theappraisers who
decided how much we should in Justice
pay placed the value Of the work to US
"As soon as one reaches the Canal
Zone the feeling prevails that the canal
is already q great success. There is no
thought OF any failure in the m nds of
any Of the men connected with its con-
struction. No one who has not actually
visited the scene OF operations can real
lie the magnitude OF the work or the
speed and activity with which II is be-
ing carried on.

looks more like a great mountain stretch

appear a natural obstruction making pos
sible great natural lake. The work on
the locks for the canal Is far advanced,
and there are no difficulties In sight,
which will cause delay In their compile

Park Commission Appointed.


Congress failed Cuntil q few months ago.
to authorize the commission thus urged
by the Board Of Trade in 1900, but in the
next year Q9Ol). through the instrument
tality Of Senator Mcmillan, the Senate
or Mcmillan park commission was ap-
pointed, with whose labors and with the
national interest aroused in the discus
sion Of whose plans the community Is
familiar. In connection with his project
Of park development Senator Mcmillan
caused to be printed for the use OF his
committee O series Of park Improvement
papers.

Broad Scope Of Park Plans.

The Mcmillan park commission plan is
sometimes spoken of as II instead Of
dealing with the whole grand project OF
the series Of parks above outlined 1t
meant only a special form of treating
the short stretch Of park, already exist
ing as park, between the Capitol the
washington Monument and the river
sion's plan unjustly belittles it. In addi-
ton to chapters on tho Mall system and
the recommendations in respect to it's
development there are chapters on the
Memorial bridge Analostau Island and
the national cemetery. at Arlington: the
area south Of Pennsylvania avenue: the
treatment OF minor reservations, includ-
ing Fairgrounds; the larger parks and
their connection. Potomac quay. Rock
Creek parkway. Geological Park. Rock
creek. including discussions Of Fort Reno
Park, Soapstone parkway, receiving res
ervoir, Potomac drive. Fort Kemble Park,
Battery PARROT and Georgetown park
Guiding Soldiers. Home grounds. Howard
University reservoir, lexington parkway,
Paterson Park, Mount Hamilton park
way and Mount Hamilton Park; Anacostia
Water Park: the Fort drive; the Ana
costa section. including Giesboro park
way and Anacostia embankment; Wash
ington embankment and Potomac Park:
the Mount Vernon road and public bath
ing places.
The whole ground Is covered thoroughly
and adequately, and In view Of the grand
scope OF the real plan of the Mcmillan
park commission 1t is unfair to the COM
mission to so concentrate public attention
upon that detail Of the plan which con.
Germs the treatment of the Mall as to
cause the commission to be approved or
condemned solely in accordance with the
verdict upon the wisdom of the COM
missions treatment Of the Mall problem.
Fortunately for the capital all pro-
Washington enthusiasts may cooperate
to promote park development on a mag
nificent scale Irrespective Of differences Of
opinion concerning some detail. Those,
for instance, who heartily assent to nine
tenths Of the actual proposals Of the Nc
MILAN park commission should find no
difficulty in Endorsing the project on It's
general lines. even though as landscape
gardeners they prefer the natural to the
artificial treatment of the Mall, the curve
to the straight line, Downing to LeNotre,
natural trees of a half centurys growth
scattered as In an English park to the
symmetrical clipped and tubbed Noall's
ark trees OF the architects designing
They may even vigorously oppose the COM
missions Mall proposition as scheme to
destroy the Mall as a park and to trans
form 1t from a peoples breathing place in
to roadbeds and the sites Of public build
ings, and still do justice to the commits
sion's ninety and nine approved proposals
Of park creation and development, as dis
tinguished from this single proposal Of
alleged park destruction.
