]. S. AROUSED BY
KILLING In PANAMA
Government to Make Exhaustive
Investigation of Deaths
of Americans.

That consequences most serious 10
Panama may result from the wounding
and killing Of American soldiers and ma
rines in a fight with police in Panama
City Thursday night. was the opinion
here yesterday, following the receipt Of
official advices regarding the affair.
1t Is now definitely known that eight
soldiers Of the Tenth Infantry, and two
privates OF marines, and one civilian,
also an American, were wounded in an
attack by Panaman police Thursday
night One civilian was killed. and two
OF the wounded soldiers were expected
to die in a few hours when the reports
sent to Washington were written.
All accounts Of the AFFAIR are copfused
thus far. It is believed that the Eanton
use Of firearms, to the extent Of caus-
ing such casualties, by the PanamAn
police. was wholly unwarranted.
Investigation Of the AFFAIR Is being made
at Panama by H. Percival Dodge, Amert-
can Minister and also by the command
ing officers Of the Tenth Infantry, and
the marine battalion, stationed on the
Canal Zone. Orders were sent from
Washington yesterday for the forwarding
to this city Of the results Of such in
vestigatlons just as soon as they are
completed.
there was no necessity for the slaughter
Of the Americans by the Panaman police.
The number Of dead and wounded is con-
sidered most abnormal. inasmuch as
neither sailors. marines nor soldiers, are
permitted to carry arms when on leave
in any city. This fact Is perfectly well
known TO the Panaman police, Il was said
here yesterday, and they could not have
possibly had any reason for extensive
use OF firearms against unarmed men.
The Panaman police carry revolvers. ana
some Of them even carry rifles when
on duty in the city.
Thursday nights affair took place in
a section Of the city where brawls and
street fighting are not unknown. More
than once Americans have gotten into
trouble with the local authorities In con-
nection with disorders in this particular
district. Many here yesterday went so
far as to charge the Panaman police with
animus toward the men OF the American
services, and with deliberate intentions
OF killing them whenever. occasion Of
fered under guIse Of Official duty in the
preservation OF order.
Another explanation was that the po-
lice had orders from their superiors in
the Arosemena administration to take
this revenge on the American soldiers
and marines because OF the supervision
Of the Panaman municipal elections a
few days ago, in which the Arosemena
candidates were the losers. Since the
elections, the losing faction. though It
Joined in the request for American super
vision Of the elections, has been charg-
ing favoritism-

BARNES TO MANAGE
TAFT'S CAMPAIGN
It Is Said He Has Been Picked,
as Hilles Doesn't Want
the Job.

There is the keenest interest manifested
by Republican leaders in Congress as TO
who will manage President Tafts cam
paign. Up until yesterday II was as
sumed that Charles D. HiIles, Secretary
to the President, would be the man.
Undoubtedly Mr.. Hilles could have had
the craftsmanship had he desired tt
President Taft has indicated very clearly
to a number OF friends that his first
choice is Mr.. Hilles.
But yesterday there was a renewal Of
the talk about William Barnes, jr. and
one of President Taft's closet friend in
the Senate said that Secretary HIlles
had finally decided that he could not ur-
dertake the campaign management, and
1t become generally reported around the
Senate that William Barnes, tr., would
be made national chairman. President
Taft is very much pleased with the man
ner in which Mr.. Barnes handled the
situation at Chicago, and also on account
OF the way in which he held the New
York delegation in line, although they
were uninstructed. Several Of the Presi-
dents friends have recommended Barnes
New Yorker is one OF the cleverest poll
ucians of the country. So far as can
be learned from the men who are closest
to the President politically, the chair
manship has not been settled. Some of
the very closest of Mr.. Tafts friends
were not even aware yet that Secretary
Hilles had finally decided not TO under
take the campaign.

DOC" ROBINSON
LOSES LIFE FIGHT
Local Dentist and Central Office Man
Succumbs to tuberculosis at Par
ents' Home in Martinsburg.

After lighting hard for life DR.. ]. Nor
ris Robinson, graduate of George Wash
.ngton University and one OF the most
promising young dentists in Washington,
died Thursday at the home Of his par
ents in Martinsburg, W. Va, victim
OF tut erculosis.
Sadness settled over police headlUar-
tiers when word OF his death was re-
ceived last night, for Doc" as he was
known, had worked for five years In the
bureau Of the Central office, earning
money with which to pay his way
through the university and later to sup
port his wife and two children while eS-
tablIshing a clientele.
Robinson's ambition and incessant Ia
Dor that Slapped his vitality in the effort
TO satisfy that ambition caused his death.
While studying at George Washington,
working for the Police Department, and
still finding time to keep appointments
with patients at his ONCE in the North
east, he frequently worked twenty hours
in the twenty-four.
About a year ago Robinson went to
the District Health once. A few days
later he was told he had tuberculosis. His
fight for life was watched day by day by
the force at headquarters. But on April
/, when Robinson submitted his resigna-
ton to Maj. Sylvester. he said:
I'm saying good-by, boys, for the last
time. I'm going home to die now. I've
been fighting a losing fight. but now I'm
done for. But / wouldn't mind il so much
IL didn't have to leave the little wife
and the babies"
