WILL OPEN CANAL IN 1918.
Colonel Goethals Repeats Prediction
For Panama Job. 10

Washington, April 23.-Colone
Goethals, chief engineer Of the Pan
anna canal, in report to the wal
department today reiterated the
hope that he would pass shiT
through the canal before the close
of the present year.
The statement came in response
to an inquiry from Secretary Garri-
son as to whether 1t would be posi-
BILE to grant the request Of Captain
Amundsen, the explorer, that he be
allowed to take his ship, Fran,
through the canal when he starts
for the Antarctic regions from the
west coast Of South Americs next
winter.
Colonel Goethals said:
"The opening of the Panama canal
for the passage of vessels has al
ways been predicated on the ques-
ton Of slides and the completion Of
the lock gates. The present sche-
dule contemplates admitting the
water into Culebra cut early in Oc-
tober and the completion of one
flight Of locks at either end OF the
canal at that date. The passage OF
boats depends upon the condition of
the slides 1t is hoped that we will
be able to pass a ship before the
close Of the year and If this can be
accomplished the Fran will have no
difficulty in making the transit of
the canal and every facility will be
offered for its doing so. No assur-
ance, however, can be given in the
matter at this time"

PROFESSOR TAFT HITS COURTS.
Former President Says They Are.
Disgrace to Civilization.

New Haven, Conn, April 3D.
Characterizing existing conditions in
the courts Of America as a disgrace
to civilization and declaring that
remedial legislation is necessary inn
mediately, former President Taft
addressed the Yale law school stu
dents and faculty at their annual
banquet. He said:
II have had the feeling that some
day the Socialists might direct their
attacks on the unequal and unjust
administration Of the law. The fall
ure to administer criminal law with
certainty, the failure to apply the
law, aids those criminals who so
often escape punishment for crimes
Of which they deserve Imprisonment.
"The existing condition of things
in this regard is disgrace to the
civilization of this county and should
be remedied. There are none bet
ter to accomplish these reforms than
the members of the bar. In the
civil courts there are many and
frequent delays in the application
of the law by which the wealthy liti-
giants gain an advantage. This can
not be said to be an equal admins
tration of justice. This Is not be-
cause the Judges are unfair or be-
cause they do not know the law.
It is simply because we have gone
IN without the remedial spirit. Ev-
Dry effort should be made to re-
move the defects that now exist.
should be done to reduce
he cost of litigation. The court
DOM is no place to gamble with the
aw. We must keep law and JUS
ice together in order to Justify :

President Pleads With California
Not to Break Treaty.
JOHNSON OUTLINES HIS POLICY
State Will Pass Alien Land Bill Not
COntravening Treaty-the
Democrats Fighting
the Measure.

Sacramento CAL, April a.
Through the exchanges of kilograms
today between President Wilson ant
: Governor Johnson, the settled policy
Of the California administration or
the question of alien land owner
ship, as agreed upon last Sunday
was officially made known.
Governor Johnson and his party
leaders in the senate favor a bill
excluding from land ownership in
the state all aliens ineligible to cit
izenship under the laws of the Unit
ed States, Such a law probably will
be passed, in spite of the objections
from Washington, 1t was said to-
day.
The assertion is made by the gov
ernor that state law of this ma
ture would not be in contravention
of any existing treaty. He is up
held in this view by the majority
leaders in the senate, who met with
him today and agreed upon the form
of the telegraphic reply to Presi.
dent Wilson's message sent today.
Opposition to the administration |
programme will come from the
Democrats, aided by few Republi.
cans who are opposed to anti-alien
legislation of any kind.
The Democrats will seek to strike
out the words Ineligible to citizen
ship" in any bill considered and on
this point the real fight on the mea-
sure will be ragged.
1t Is not expected that the Thomp-
son-Birdsall bill will not be reached
some time Thursday and no action
can be taken until that time.
President wilson's message today |
called forth little comment. The
Democratic minority already had
it's views largely in ac-
,ordance with the Bryan message
hat came last Saturday and the
progressive Republican majority, as /
shown by Governor Johnson's re- t
'ponse, declined to consider the
Presidents telegram as a demand c
IN the legislature to enact a par e
ocular kind of bill.

SOCIALISTS WIN
BELGIUM STRIKE
Parliament Gives in To WorImeI
Who Walked Out.
HAD CRIPPLED THE NATION
For Ten Days . Half Million Work
ers Have Been Out-Strikers
Maintained an Excellent
Organization.

Brussels, April 2S.-The "politi
cal strike" in Belgium, after keeping
at a standstill the country's industry
and commerce for ten days, was to-
day brought to conclusion favor
able to the workmen, nearly n mil.
Hon Of whom, to enforce a demand
for equal suffrage, had laid down
tools.
The Socialist trades union leaders
and their followers gained their
chief point, which was to make the
government take up for considera-
4ion change of the Belgium parlia-
mentary franchise with It's system
OF plural votes for theI Weather
and more educated classes:
At the last returns 993,07O men
possessed one vote, 395,S66 two
votes and 30s,6S3 three votes, so
chat the single votes were always
overwhelmed. This is the first oc-
casicn on record in which a politi-
cal strike has resulted in victory
for the strikers. The whole move
ment has been notable for the energy
and determination displayed and for
the excellent control shown by the
men.
They have not yet obtained their
full demand, but the Socialist lead
ers express confidence that the con-
gideration of their claims will re-
suit In the franchise being made
equal for all.
When the chamber of deputies
met today the conciliatory motion
OF F. Mason, the Liberal leader, was
taken up Immediately. Deputy Lie
baert, Clerical, proposed an addi-
tiOnal clause reading:
1.-THE chamber disapproves and
condemns the general strike"
Premier de Brouqueville accepted
the motion as amended and asked
the other members of his party not
10 suggest any more changes.
The Socialist leader, Emile Van
Heyelde, then said, eve. the depu-
Ties Of the left, support NJ. Masson's
motion for a compromise. 1t re-
mains for us to convoke a Socialist ,
congress, which alone has the power
10 decide whether the strike shall
ind or not, but we have the con-
viction that the adoption of the
motion will be step in advance. +"
The first part Of the motion was
then adopted unanimously by the
Of deputies.
