BILTz STRONGLY BACKED FOR JOB
 HE ONCE HELD

The friends of Charles F. A. Biltz who was director of public works un- der the Reynolds and Lee administra- ton. are firmly Of the belief that he should be reappointed to his former position. They point out that MT. Biltz would prove a valuable man by reason of his former experience and that with an administration working in sympathy with him he would give a satisfactory account of his steward ship.
 Several of the local German asso~ citations are backing MT. Biltz and they think they are entitled to recog- hilton for what they did to assist in electing the Republican mayor MT. Biltz and his father before him have been loyal Republicans.

BURNES DOOMED FOR DIRECTOR
 PUBLIC WORKS
Former Alderman and West End Leader Tells Farmer He Considers Himself
 Big Enough for Job Has Ever Been Loyal Sup porter of Republican Par ty and Sees No Need of Director Being Taken from Outside.

Notwithstanding the talk of Repub- lican leaders about going out of town for a director of public works to suc- ceed Michael A. Kenny, there are a large number of Republicans in this city who believe that there are men of large enough calibre in this city to take the $4.0O0 year job, and that one of them is James B. Burnes, the contractor who was formerly a mem Der of the Board of Aldermen. The claim is made that the salary is not large enough to attract any more ex- pert and efficient men to this city than there are here now
 A reporter of the Farmer asked MT. But7 this morning if he was a can didare for the position of director of public works He replied: ''I certainly would not refuse the job if it was given to me, although I have not taken any action yet whereby it could be said that I was seeking the place. A number Of prominent men have come to me and asked me to allow them to urge my name for the place. I feel confident that there is nothing connected with the prison that is more difficult than the average general con- tractor has to contend with. I am thoroughly conversant with concrete work and have some knowledge of macadam road work
 A well known Republican said to- day: tBurnes will have the support Of a large number of influential men in the party who claim that besides being competent Burnes is also enti- tied to the position because of long service to his party which he has supported Loyalty for years by giving up his time and money for its ad- vancement He is a taxpayer of con- siderable means and a life long resi- dent of this city. His contracting business was established by his father before him. His father was one of the best known members of the G. A. R. and was famed throughout the country as one of the Andersonville prison heroes.''

Saloon Keepers
 Looking up Men
 Who Own Property
Annual Scurrying Around Begins for Endorsers for : Liquor License Appli-
 cations

The annual scurrying about of sa- loon keepers to secure the endorse ments of taxpayers upon their ap- plications for liquor licenses is we'll under way.
 Under the law each of the three hundred odd saloon keepers must have the endorsement of five prop erty owners upon his application. Be- fore the application will receive con- sideration al the hands of the county commissioners, it must be certified by the town clerk as being endorsed by five men who own property.
 Nearly 100 of the applications have already been entrusted to Town Clerk Thomas. He and his assistants must check up the application to see that no signer has his name upon more than one application, and that each signer is bona fide property owner.
 The applications must be in the office of the town clerk before Nov. 15 to be certified.

Mrs. WaI!enta is
 Allowed $4 a Week
Judge Curtis Rules that Divorced Wife Is Entitled .& to Share of Husbands
 Earning as Alimony.

Judge Curtis of the superior court gave a decision yesterday which has caused considerable discussion among lawyers. In the divorce suit of Au- gusta B. Wallenta of 32 Bishop ave- nue against Frank J. Wallenta the court ruled that Mrs. Wallenta is en- titled to a share of her husbands earnings as alimony. Hitherto in this state courts have been accus- toned to allow alimony only when the husband owned property.
 Attorney John J. Phelan for Mrs. Wallenta contended that according to the statutes a wife was entitled to one-third of her husbands estate, and he thought the word estate should include a mans earning capacity. Judge Curtis ruled that Mrs. Wal lenta was entitled to $4 a week from her husbands wages. Wallenta for merly lived in this city but is now located in Semopolis, Ala The court granted Mrs. Wallenta a decree on the ground of cruelty.

 are with him at the Canal. Their expenses are $45 per. month. He is able to save, on the average, per month. the difference between $22S.50 and S45.
 .sYou see," MT. Kenealy went on by way of explanation, 'tthe government supplies house, light, water and fuel to canal operatives free and no woolen clothing is used as the temperature seldom falls below 30 degrees day or night during the entire year,
 CITIES MADE SANITARY.
 Another matter that impressed Mr. Kenealy very favorably was the con dition of the cities of Panama and Colon, especially Panama, which, be- fore the American occupation, was perhaps the most unhealthy city in the world. There were no sewers, no common water supply, no paved ment has supplied all these improve ments, and, moreover, they are being paid for by Panama, the cost being deducted from the money the United States agreed to pay Panama for the land it took for canal purposes. Simi- larly the continued work of sanitation there is som mething doing constant ly in this line down there-is also deducted from the annual payments due the Panamaians.
 Mr. Kenealy said the canal is we'll advanced toward co9hpletion and will proba ply be open for public use in about two years. Once opened, it is believed, he said, that in the course of few. years the canal will pay a reasonable return upon the money invested. The next Congress will es- tablish toll rates for the canal. The charge in the Sue4 canal has been, until recently, $2 per ton. MT. Ken ealy said it is believed the Panama Canal will yield good revenue with the rate at $1 per ton.
 THREE DAYS ON ROUTE OF
 CANAL.
 The party was taken over the ca nal route on three different days, stopping each day where work of particular interest was being done. Col. Goethals and other engineers and officials accompanied them, and thoroughly explained the character of the work being done and the work remaining to do. There were in the members of Congress who had been advocates of a sea-level canal, but all, after inspecting the work already done, and listening to the explana- tions of the officers in charge, agreed he said, that the sea-level canal, owing to the great cost of construc- ton was not feasible. lock canal will cost approximately $300,000, 900, but a sea-level canal would probably cost $1,000, 100000.
 The Senate Commission made its headquarters, while in the Canal Zone, at the Hotel Tivoli, in the city of Panama. This hotel is owned and conducted by the United States gov ernment.
 "Our trip both ways was a mighty pleasant one," said MT. Kenealy clos ing a little talk. Every one of the party felt amply repaid for whatever loss of time or discomfort there may have been incidental to the journey"
