PROCEEDS OF CANAL
 BONDS EXHAUSTED
Another Million Disbursed for Construction of
 the Ditch

Washington, June 6.-The entire pro- ceeds of the Panama canal bonds of 196l issued less than year ago, have been spent. The last of the loan was wiped out today by the progress of the water way that will sever the American con- tinent. Officials of the treasury do not contemplate issuing any more canal bonds during the present administration.
 Secretary McVeagh today disbursed S,- 000, ,000 for the construction of the ditch. The amount not only exhausted the pro- ceeds of the bonds and their premiums but in addition deducted S5590oO from the general fund of the treasury.
 The construction of the waterway. like the ordinary expenses of the government, it is expected, will be borne by the re- ceipts from customs and internal reve- nue for months to come. If necessary. Secretary McVeagh could issue SlS6,S)1,0O0 in canal bonds at once. That amount has already been spent out of the general fund, and by act of Congress is reim- bursable by bonds. The total cost of the waterway, it is estimated, will be $3I5,- 200 aSO. Of this S274.9Os,000 has been ex- pended to date.

TAFT'S PLANS FOR
 HIS NOMINATION His May Not Be First Name Offered to Convention MIR. CUMMINS FIRST Alabama Should Give Way to Iowa, and Arizona to New York,
 Who Will Nominate Roose-
 velt-Then Taft

Washington, June 6.=President Taft's name may not be the first to be presented to the republican national convention at Chicago, and in fact Taft leaders still in Washington said tonight that the Presidents name might not be put before the convention until after Colonel Roosevelt has been put in nom- nation.
 It became known that when c. D. Hilles, President Tafts secretary, left for Chicago last night he carried with him draft of tentative plan for the presentation of the Presidents name to the convention. That plan was de- clared to be subject to alteration by Taft leaders now in Chicago, and, of course, by MT. Taft himself, if he finds 1t unsuitable before the day when the nominations are made
 According to the plan taken away by Mr. Hilles, the name of Senator A. B. Cummins of Iowa, who has 10 dele gates from his own state pledged to him. may be the first offered to the convention.
 Alabama Should Give Way to Ohio
 AldDdiild SlduNS el liio ilNe'N 1A ettS --N- of states on the convention roll. Count ing upon the Alabama delegation as certain for Taft, his political advisers suggest that she should yield, not to Ohio, the Presidents own state, which put him in nomination, but to Iowa. that she might put forward the name of its senior senator.
 Next in the roll of states comes Arizona The Taft adherents claim Arizona. too' and that state, according to the approved scheme, would yield to New York.
 Although the Taft leaders also claim New York by a large majority, it was their idea that some Roosevelt delegate be permitted to present the name of Colonel Roosevelt at this point in the pro ceedings,
 Arkansas, another state claimed by the Taf. leaders under this plan, would then yield to ohio, and the name of the Presi- dent be put before the convention prob ably by Warren G. Harding, former lieu tenant governor of the state, and one Of it's delegates at large.
 To Denounce Roosevelt
 With Cummins, Roosevelt and Taft out of the way, Wisconsin will nominate Sem ator LaFollette, and friends of the Presi- dent claim that in putting his name be- fore the convention, his sponsor can be relied upon to leave with the convention, just before the vote,. denunciations of Colonel Roosevelt.
 Although this was said tonight to be the plan most favored at present, others have been considered. One was for the presentation of MT Tafts name by MT. Harding before other candidates Another was that MT. Taftmight be suggested to the convention by New York. This ap- pealed to some of the Presidents friends, particularly as it is Roosevelts home state. One reason advanced against the giving of the honor to Ohio was that the statc has more Roosevelt than Taft dele caf
