PAPERS EXPECTED HERE

Secretary OF War Garrison expects to
receive soon from Col. Goethals tenta-
tive plan for the permanent organiza-
ton of the government and operating
force on the Canal Zone, to take the place
of the present organization and govern
ment which was designed to endure only
through the period Of the construction
Of the canal
The Panama Canal act OF 1872 gives the
President authority to effect permanent
organization OF the Canal Zone whenever
he sees fit to do so. e is the opinion
of the President and Secretary Garrison
that this should be deferred until the
canal actually is opened to the traffic OF
the world, and they have no present in
tention Of effecting a change. In view of
the fact that they desire. however, to
obtain the very best organization possible
on the Canal Zone, and that it probably
will take a great deal of time and dis
cussion to work out a satisfactory plan,
Secretary Garrison some months ago in
stIucted Col. Goethals to draft a plan
which should set forth the ideas Of him.

Col. Goethals now has this plan prac-

expectation that Secretary Garrison
would visit the canal early this fall. Upon
Instructions from the Secretary. however,
in view of the likelihood of the latter
being unable to visit the canal this fall,
he will forward the plan to Washington
at once. Mr.. Garrison will then begin
discussions with the President as to the
details of the permanent organization Of
the canal force.
Mr.. Garrison personally is of the opin-
ion that fairness to those whose genius
and earnest efforts have made the canal

umph of their years of work. This has
been his attitude since the first.

that there was any friction between him.

change of the organization on the Canal
Zone He declared that the colonel had
never indicated to him the slightest dis
satisfaction, and that until he had posi-
tive information to the contrary he would
assume that there was none.
Col Goethals has not, he said, asked,
as reported. that the Organization be
changed at once In fact, the statement

Helen Keller Gives Big Audi

of Life.
TEACHER ALSO TALKS
Mrs. Macy Tells Story of
Bringing Light to Girls
Brain.
TEACHER ALSO TALKS

Helen Keller has come and gone.
She has preached her simple gospel of
joy and sunshine and given hundreds
of Richmond persons a new vision OF
life and tighter grasp on their own
possibilities
A capacity house at the East Main
Street Friends church last night
greeted the educational marvels Of
the age, Miss Keller, the apt pupil
and her interchangeable teacher, Mrs
Macy.
When she faced the audience there
was a breathless hush as the crowd
awaited her first utterances. Al
though warned in advance, her frag-
mentary syllables, enumerated in col
Orless tones came as d shock to her
hearers.
See the Real Woman.
Conversant with her brilliant men
tai achievements. the audience had
expected too much of her vocal train
ing. Those present who had just
heard the story of Helen Keller from
the lips of her teacher were unpre-
pared for the real woman.
AS she struggled on, the reality Of
the story of how she had triumphed
over silence and darkness flashed
upon the listeners Memory of the
long hours she had spent in solitude
5urged over them. Sc was no longer
an automAton. vaudeville trick, but
Il real woman, and those uncanny
sounds came not as n voice from the
dead but from Warm-blOOded. emo
tiOnal human being.
The thoughts she endeavored to con-
vey had no adequate medium in arti-
fetal speech. But as she went on
with her talk attention was turned
from the voice to her face. Then for
tho first time the audience knew and
loved Helen Keller.
Never Forget Smile.
II was a face undimmed by the
darkness that enshrouded her and
glowing With the radiancy of JOY and
love. The voice will soon be for
gotten but her face will linger long
in pleasant memory. The real voice
of Helen Keller will never be heard,
but none that saw her last night can
doubt it's surprising sweetness and
beauty.
For over an hour, Mrs. Macy, who
made Helen Keller what she is, told
the story of her work; how she found
the little girl in absolute darkness,
blind and deaf and unable to COM
muniCate with the rest of her fam
lily. She told the story Of her long
hard work to bring light to the strug-
Cling brain; how her pupil responded
to her efforts. and finally, after years
Of patient labor finished her educa-
ton at Radcliffe college.
Answers Questions.
The most interesting part of the
evening was when Miss Keller replied
to questions from the audience The
questions asked were almost as in
teresting as the answers. Are you
happy?" was one question. The smile
that spread over Miss keller's face as
sensitive fingers read the question
from her teachers lips was its own
best answer to the question.
In what do you take the most
pleasure?" was another question. The
answer touched most of her hearers:
