c. G. Manner of 1856 South Moreland
Street, a collector for the Elkin
Drug Company. died in the Alcazar
Theater Friday morning about 1890
o'clock as he was watching a pic
ture advertised as Embarrassing Incl
dents, cleverly woven into an as
founding story of jungle terror"
Death is believed to have been due
to heart failure, as Manner left his Of
fee Friday morning apparently in
the best of health and spirits.
Manner took a seat in the theater
in the third row, left near the back.
No one noticed anything unusual
until 1920 o'clock when a spectator,
passing up the aisle, reported to the
office that a man was snoring" on
the third row. The doorkeeper re-
sponded and shook the man to wake
him up.
The man who later proved to be
Manner was found to be dying. Man
ager Jackson says he believes he was
dead when the doorkeeper reached
him, as his eyes were CLASSY and his
mouth open.
The dead man was taken to Patter-

The family, consisting of wife and
one daughter, Mrs. DR.. Warnock,

CANAL To BE DRY
UNTIL WILSON
VIE VS. IT
PresidentW Will Wait Congress Ad-
i0urnment-GOethaIS Anxious
to be Relieved of Job,

WASHINGTON, June 1S.-Colonel
W F. Goethals, Chief Engineer Of the
Panama Canal, called at the White
House yesterday to discuss the prog
ress of work there. He told the Presi-
dent that water could be turned into
the Canal shortly after October /,
but that he would not order it done
If the President found it impossible
TO visit the Canal during Septem
Der.
President Wilson assured the Chief
Engineer that he would visit Panama
the moment Congress adjourned.
Peculiar Position.
Colonel Goethals has been the Chief
Engineer and supreme executive Of
the Canal organization since the pro-
ject was put in the hands of army
engineers.
These functions are not based IN
any law of Congress, but the direct
admonition Of President Roosevelt
to the members Of the commission
when he appointed them He told
them there was no authority in Law
for making Colonel Goethals the head
of the force to be employed on the
Canal. but that his power of appoint
ment would be used to enforce his
decision not to ask Congress for fur
Their legislation and to make Colonel
Goethals the supreme authority.
Every member Of the commission
understood and accepted his appoint
ment on that condition
President Taft pursued the same
method as his predecessor, and Colo
mel Cocktails direction OF affairs met
with no opposition until toward the
end of the recent Presidential term.
Opposition Develops.
Reports say that the disposition TO
resent the authority of Colonel Goe-
thals has reached q critical stage,
threatening TO weaken the commits
sion I'm the closing months of It's
task and possibly postpone the COM
pletion of the Canal beyond the time
set for that contamination. Conse-
uen,ly much importance is placed on
President Wilson's tentative selection
of Richard l.. Metcalfe Of Nebraska
for civilian member Of the lsthmlln
Commission In place of Maurice Il.
Thatcher
II is understood that colonel Geo
thals is to be consulted freely 10y
President Wilson on the whole stu
alton
Colonel Cocktails does not want 10

main on the Isthmus even long
enough to see the big inauguration
