Sophia's, at Sixth and G streets north
west, where Father Joachim Alexopulos
watches over a flock of about 200. At
every mass yesterday the church was
crowded, and at the evening services as
we'll. The edifice was decorated with
palms and flowers and christmas trees
and an especial feature was the singing
of the children.

ACTION SOON ON
CANAL CONTROL
President Expected to Take
Up Question Of Govern
ment Next Week.
GARRISON SENDS VIEWS
Secretary Of Wr, It b Believed, Has
Reeonnendsd Plan Providing
a Single Head.

Early action by President Wilson on
the question Of permanently organising
the government of the Panama Canal
Zone, and the canal operating force is
expected after his return to Washington
next week.
Secretary OF War Garrison has submit
ted to the President full recommends
tons on the subject. The Secretary said
yesterday afternoon that nothing re-
manned but for the President to act on
these recommendations
= Unless other influences are brought to
bear upon the President there will be
nothing heard officially of the proposal
that a commission form Of government
be established on the Canal Zone. This
suggestion has been fathered by Commits
sioner Metcalfe, former editor of Mr..
Bfyan's Commoner, who went to Panama
last summer as member OF the Isthmian
Canal Commission, and 1t is known that
Secretary Garrison based his recommen-
dations on existing law.
Consequently, il is certain that the
organization recommended by the Secre-
tary Of War provides for a single head
of the Canal Zone government and the
operating force for the canal itself. A
skeleton outline for such a government,
under a one-man head, was submitted by
Col. Cocktails. after he and his colleagues
On the Canal Commission had thrashed
out the question. 1t is not believed that
Secretary Garrison's recommendations
differ very materially from those of the
commission.
Civilian or Militaryf
One of the most interesting questions,
and one on which Mr.. Garrison is I'M
willing to disclose his views, is whether
the governor of the Zone is to be a
civilian or a military man. Many believe
that the Secretary favors a military gov
ernor.
Col Goethals is extremely DESTROYS that
the administration decide upon the form
Of the permanent government, and permit
an operating force. Several members
of Congress who went TO Panama this
winter to look into canal matters take
the same view as to the desirability of
early action, and it is believed the Presi-
dent soon will announce his decision.
While Col. Goethals is not a candidate
fer a permanent position in the isthmus,
1t is known that he hopes he will be
permitted to be the head of whatever or
ganization actually opens the canal and
operates it through the experimental
months. It is believed the present ad-
ministration is willing that Col. Goethals
enjoy this privilege and that II the per-
manent government is organized this
year, Col Goethals will be the COVER
nor.

POLITICS IS BLAMED

Il was learned at the Department OF
Justice yesterday that Attorney General
McReynolds has directed Assistant At
torney General Samuel J. Graham to
make an early report on the changes MED
by Representative William 8. Howard.
OF Georgia. in which the administration
Of the Federal prison In Atlanta Ii at
tackled.
Until he Las received this report ana
has had time to examine II. the Attorney
General will withhold decision on the re-
quest of Representative Howard that an
ofncial or officials Of the Department. OF
Justice make a thorough inquiry into the
conditions that obtain In the prison. IL
Ia the understanding that. II the Attorney
General conies 10 the conclusion that the

rants such a course. thorough investi-
cation VIII be ordered.
Oficials o. the Department Of Justice
appear to be OF the opinion that the agf-
tation that had its origin In Atlanta
against the management of the Federal
prison in that city represents little mors
than q desire on the part of politicians TO
effect the removal Of Warden Meyer. In
fact, some department officials say that
they have information tending to sup
port such a theory. Representative
Howard denief In the most emphatic
manner again yesterday the truth Of re-
ports that those who are moving for an
inquiry int the management Of the At
lantx prison are in any way inspired by
political motives.
willing to Investigate.
In discussing the matter yesterday, At
torney General McReynolds declared II
was highly important to keep prison al
fairs out of politics. He indicated that
the department was perfectly willing At
any time to inquire into the conduct OF
Federal prison officials IL evidence were
presented tending TO show that they were
derelict in their duty In any respect, but
that the government must proceed with
great caution in all such cases. In order
to avoid doing injustice.
II IL the hope Of Representative Howard
that the Attorney General will reach a
decision by the time Congress meets
next week. Mr.. Howard continues to
receive from Atlanta letters that he con-
tends support the charges made by re-
sponsible persons. filed with the Attor-
ney General on Monday. Mr.. Howard
again declined to indicate what course he
would follow in the event that the At
torDey General refused to order an in
quiry.

TO ENCOURAGE IRON
INDUSTRY IN TEXAS
Low Rate On Ores From RusIz, Texas,
UFEed-State Leases its Iron
Furnace to n COrpOratiOn.


Furnace to n Corporation.
Austin, Tex, Feb. 5.-Development
of the iron ore industry in east Texas
and at the iron furnace plant at Rusk
was the subject of a conference be-
tween the governor and the railroad
commission in which the chief exec
utive urged upon the commission the
necessity for a low rate for the trans
portation of ore to this plant.
The state some time ago leased the
Rusk furnace to a syndicate of north
ern capitalists, operating in Texas UNI
der the name of the Texas Iron assoc
citation, and this organization, through
its representative, judge H. A. Oneal
OF Athens, urged that rate Of 4 cents
per ton per mile be ordered by the
commission, or 5S cents per ton for the
transportation of ore and limestone
from the ore and limestone fields con-
trOled by the association in Cass
county. 1t was pointed out that the
very existence of this industry de-
pended on getting a low rate, as the
present rate is approximately 81 per
ton.
Governor COlquitt VI ged the commits
sion to give q reasonable rate for the
purpose of developing of this industry,
pointing out that a low rate would also
provide tonnage for the state railroad,
as the commodity w0uf be shipped
through Palestine to Rusk.
