Depends on Goethals' Wish.

1t was understood before President Taft
left Washington on his present visit to
Panama that the only element of un-
Goethals to be governor of the Canal
Zone was the consent of that officer him.
self the salary of the new Office being
5000 less than the compensation he is
now receiving as head Of the canal COM
mission.
So anxious has Col. Goethals been how
ever, to crown his work Of canal con-
struction with. the establishment Of the
permanent government which is to Oper-
ate the great waterway and look after
the small army Of employees who will re-
main in the zone. that it was well under
stood by his friends here that he was
prepared to make this sacrifice.
President Taft had let ii be known that
he regarded it as only fair to his sue
cessOr in office. for the retiring admin
fstration to select the new governor Of
the zone, permitting Col. Goethals and
the engineer. officers associated with him
to employ the knowledge they have ac-
quired of the capabilities of the present
force of canal workers to select from
among their number the officers and en-
work is done and the canal is in smooth
operation, it is known to be Col. Goethals'
desire to be relieved of further duty on
the isthmus.
Another Position for Judson.
The establishment of civil govern
ment on the Canal Zone, with Col. Goe-
thals at it's head, involves several possi-
bilites of decided interest to the resi-
dents of the District of Columbia. Ac-
cording to well informed officials of the
government, Lieut.. Col. William v. Jud-
son. Engineer Commissioner Of the Dis
trict, is TO be Col Goethals' chief assist
ant in the Office of vice governor, and
Maj. Chester Harding. Corps of Engt-
neers, employed on the Gatun division
of the Panama canal, is to succeed Col.
Judson as District Engineer Commits
sioner. The four-year term Of Engineer
Commissioner Judson expires March Is.
1t is yet unsettled whether he will be
allowed to serve out his full term be-
fore his transfer to Panama, in which
event the selection of his successor at
Washington would devolve on the next
President, or whether he shall begin his
expected duties at Panama before March
of the next Engineer Commissioner will
be made by President Taft. That office is
filled by the President by detail from
the Corps of Engineers of the army, and
the selection is not subject to the action
Of the Senate.
An official announcement regarding the
proposed civil government on the Canal Zone
is looked for on the Presidents return
to this city next week. If the transfer of
Col. Judson is included in the forthcoming
it will be taken to indicate
that President Taft has concluded to de-
tail the new Engineer Commissioner at
about the same time that he nominates
the two civilian Commissioners in jan

No Verdict Today.

With the probable retirement of the
jury tonight court will adjourn till to-
morrow, SO that no verdicts. if reached,
could be reported until tomorrow. Be
cause of the mass of evidence the jury
must review and the fact that a separate
verdict must be returned for each de-
fendant, it is not believed results will be
reported in less than twenty-f -four hours
All the verdicts must be reported at one
time.
During it's deliberations the jury will be
locked in rooms on the top floor of the
federal building, thus precluding any pos
sibility of truthful reports as to its prog
resS.
District Attorney Miller today continued
to review to the jury Ortie r. McMani-
gals confession as dynamiter. Nearing
the close of his argument Mr.. Miller
charged that all of the officials of the
International Association of Bridge and
Structural Ironworkers on trial here
knowingly entered into this nefarious con-
spiracy.
Attended by riots, assaults and even
attempts to kill, this great conspiracy
against employers who refused to recog-
nize union labor grew until it reached the
murder stage at Los Angeles said the
district attorney.

GOSSIP ABOUT
REAL ESTATE
Season Brings the
Market to a StandstiII,

Real estate activity, like the tur-
key, is always killed during the
Yuletide season. Investors during
this season draw on their pocket
books for other necessities which
put them and their bank account in
a position Of antipathy toward any
suggestion of the land merchants
that they secure a lot while they
last"
Suburban transactions are rare
these days when the prospector can
only see the land with a heavy, con-
cealed blanket of snow on top. He
thinks 1t is too much like buying the
pig In the poke" to make an In
vestment at this period.
One of the largest transactions in
city real estate was the sales nego-
tiated by Boynton Brothers, which
embraced the big three-story brick
apartment house at State and Will
liam streets, and property at 575
Smith street, both of which we're
formerly owned by the Rosett Broth
ers, who some time ago failed in a
banking business here. The former
property was purchased by Adolph
Greenbaum, and the latter by Abram
Mandel, both for investment pur-
poses.
Hans Nelson, dealer in real estate,
has gotten out a very attractive
miniature encyclopedia, which tells
everything from the day of the
month to the name OF a man from
whom to buy lots. blocks, and acres,
for investment.
