President Roosevelt and Secretary
Taft then decided upon drastic course
toward Mr.. Wallace as a means of re-
viving the morale Of the canal work
ers and also of bringing, the American
people sharply to realization that the
canal project was in peril through
display OF weakness in the face of dan
ger that would make our experiment
in Panama an international disgrace.
Secretary Taft met Mr. Wallace at
the Manhattan hotel in New York on
June % Secretary Taft listened to
his reason for resigning. which In the
main was that he had under consider
alton a position that would carry with
It a remuneration Of approximately
$65, 900 year.
Secretary Taft did not conceal his
disappointment in Mr.. Wallace's
course. He began by reviewing how
the government had taken him from
a position paying $4,000 year to
make him chief engineer Of the canal
at $4,000 a year; how the formula
BILE obstacles to be met and the su-
preme necessity of II canal to the ma
ton made it a patriotic work for any
American and an honor to he placed ut
the head of the greatest enterprise OF
the age.
"For mere lucre," Mr.. Taft con-
dnued. you change your position
overnight without thought Of the en-
barrassing position in which you place
your government by this action"
Secretary Taft then reviewed how
the commission had just been reorgan-
lied to meet Mr.. Wallace's wishes and
every change had been approved by
the chief engineer. He closed by de-
manding the immediate resignation of
Mr.. Wallace. This came the next day
and was made public on June g. with
Secretary Taft's hot rebuke, which in
the canal zone had a most salutary
effect. 1t put an entirely new COM
plexion on their work to be told that
the nation expected every man to de
his duty; that they were not down
there for the money they Gould make
nor were they expected TO leave be
cause of the hardships they would
meet, but that the object Of their ex
ile was to give the nation something
vital to its welfare The assertions
began to diminish at once, and the an
nouncement on June 30 that John f
Stevens had been appointed chief en-
gineer further strengthened the morale
of the canal organization.

than in the UnlreG SIa1es anu a rate
Of $50 from New York to Colon on
steamers operated by the government,
with other perquisites, being some of
the advertised attractions. Besides, in
the latter part of Mr.. Stevens regime,
the United States was enjoying unex-
amp!ed prosperity, the palmy days be-
fore the panic Of 1907. Mechanics and
all kinds of workers could obtain en-
ployment at home at high wages and
would not come to Panama unless for
the unusual inducements enumerated,
and. in addition, vacations with full
pay, sick leave on pay and cheap food
and other necessaries.
Although the French had abandoned
the idea Of sea level canal in favor
OF lock type, there still was a good
deal Of life in the idea among the
American people. For one thing, sea
Level canal was so much more easily
grasped by the popular mind, and then
all engineers concede that it is the
ideal canal where it is practicable. In
Panama division of opinion arose over
this point of practicabiity.
A sea level canal aptly has been de-
scribed as "a wide and deep. passage
navlgable at all times. day or night. at
all seasons and in all weathers by all
sorts and sizes Of vessels" The lock
type involves operations not readily
portrayed to the lay mind, but emf
nently simple when seen in practical
use. /.

Negro Is FIeeCed By
Men OF Own Race

Cordele, Dec. 14.-The newest
of the fleece" games was prac-
ticed upon Ed Hunter, an old
negro farmer, here yesterday by
two unknown negroes. The two
strange negroes approached
Hunter and engaged him in con-
versation.
Unnoticed by Hunter, one of
them dropped a purse to the
ground, later picking it up and
pretending that he had found it.
1T had a $500 bill in it," he
exclaimed to the ignorant and
unsuspecting old darby, pulling
out what is thought to have been
a $50 note. I'VE will keep the
secret to ourselves and divide
the money! then said the
strange negro.
The negro with the big bill
went off and returned in a few
minutes, saying that he had been
unable to get the note changed,
and that he would have to have
some money from the other two
negroes to get, it changed. In
order to carry out the plot, the
other strange negro gave him
some money.
Hunter did not realize the alb
of the proposal and gave
him $82 in greenbacks. Soon
both of the strange negroes had
disappeared leaving Hunter to
hold the bag and. after an hour
of waiting he reported the mat
ter to the police.

TO u, S.!:COURT

Valdosta, Ga.-N. E. McSwain,
the white citizen of Coffee county
who was arrested some time ago
on charge of demanding 81 900
from Mr.. Jack Dorminey under a
threat to kill Mr.. Dorminy if he
refused, has been brought to Val

He is to be tried IN the federal
court for using the United States
mails to extort money from another
He was arrested under state war
rant ands was placed in Jail at
Douglas! but the United States
officials stepped in and took the
case in charge. He was brought
here by Deputy Marshal Glenn.
McSwain has already employed
Col. H. Langdale to represent him
in the proceedings against him and
he says that he is confident he will
be able to show that.he was not
the man who sent the letter to Mr..
DorminY. G 1t is probable that eff
orts will be made to prove this by
the handwriting. 1t is said that
McSwain wrote to Mr.. Jack Dor
miny, who lives near Broxton,
telling him to place 81, COO at a
certain bridge or he would be
killed.
Mr.. Dorminy turned the letter
over to former Sheriff Ricketson
who fixed up a package and placed
it at the bridge and then watched
it to see who would get it. Nc
Swain was the man who got it,
and3swhen he spicked it up Sheriff
Ricketson appeared upon the scene
and placed. him unoer arrest.
McSwain claims that he had
beenEover to see aneighbor about
picking cottonsand that he merely
found the~package and picked it
up. He declares that he does not
know anything about the letter
that was written to Mr.. Dorminey.
He will attempt to show that the
handwriting was not his.
