The magazine writer's all told me
The way 10 win out with a maid

That a woman adored any husky
who reared.
And was fond of a masculine

So read all their dope and I

GOETHALS TELLS OF
 TALK WITH KAISER

New York, March 2S.-George W. Goe- thals. chief engineer of the Panama ca nal, and chairman of the canal eommis- sion, returned from abroad today with an account of an interview with the German Emperor, in which the Kaiser | expressed vigorous views as to the de- sirabilty of strongly fortfyng the Pan anna canal.
 'The Kaiser surprised me by his knowl- edge of the canal" Colonel Goethals said. His viewpoint was Chat of a warrior. He believed the ll0 foot locks would not be wide enough to accommodate the dreadnahghts of the future and believed the canal should have been as wide as the channel at kiel, which is 135 feet.
 ''He is strongly in favor of much heav- fer Notifications than have been planned for the canal. He believes a very large military force should be established, ready for any emergency
 "The Kaiser said he had no doubt that some nation would establish a coaing station either north or south of the canal, At this station, he pointed out, battle ships could be gathered quietly and could suddenly descend and capture the canal He believes the fortihcations should be sufficient to repulse any fleet"

DEFENSE RESTS IN
 THE SUGAR TRIAL

New York, March 2S.-The defense in the trial of John E. Parsons, Washington B. Thomas and other directors of the American Sugar Refining company for alleged violation of the criminal clause of the sherman law rested its case today after District Attorney Wise had com pleted a grilling cross-examination of MT Parsons. Tomorrow the entire day probably will be consumed by the oppos- ing attorneys in summing up.
 To6ay's cross-examination of the aged MT. Parsons resolved itself frequently into a spirited fencing match when the dis trict attorney pressed the witness hard with questions bearing upon the $l 250,O00 loan by which the trust" is accused of obtaining control of Adolph Segal's sugar refinery.
 MT. Wise succeeded in bringing out, however, rebuttal of the contention of the defense that the Segal refinery was oyer capitalized and built for purposes of "eut throat" competition, that the trust it. self had organized an over-capitalized sugar company, the National Sugar Re nrery company of New Jersey.
