COULD NOT DO WORK,
GOcthalS Says Canal Machinery Would
Re Useless for Flood Protection.

Washington, March 6.-Col. Geo.
Goethals threw n wet blanket today
on the suggestion that machinery
employed in construction Of the Pan
anna canal might be used TO advan-
tagc in flood protection work in the
Mississippi valley. Senator Smith, OF
Michigan, had made the suggestion in
the consideration by the commerce
committee of the RansdCll bill APP
upwards of 500, ,000. GOO for
Mississippi river improvements. that
the canal machinery might be used.
Col. Cocktails told the committee it
would not pay to bring any OF the
except. perhaps, some of
the drcdgcs. to the United States for
any Kind OF work. That was due
partly to the fact, he said, that the
machinery bad not been kept in con
dition. Parts of machines no longer
needed, hc said. had been used to re
pair others instead of buying new
parts.
Much of the equipment would be
useless IN the kind of work proposed.
he said, even if it were in good con-
dtion.

COMMISSIONER MINISTER WINS,
Temporary Injunction in Case of Mu-

Temporary Injunction in Case of Mu-
tual Life Insurance CO., Dismissed
Charleston, March 6.--rn the Unit
ed States district court today Judge
Henry A. NJ. Smith issued an order
dlsmiss.ng the bills Of complaint and
vacatinS the injunction in the case Of
the Mutual Life Insurance company
of New York against T. H. McMaster
as insurance commissioner Of the
state of South Carolina. The order
was issued as the result Of an order
handed down by the United States
circuit court Of appeals at Richmond
dismissing the appeal in the above
entitled case, which was carried up
from the federal court here some
weeks ago. 1t will be remembered
that some weeks ago the Mutual Life
Insurance company Of New York
sought to procure OF the federal court
here an injunction restraining Insur-
ance Commissioner McMaster from
woke the license of the insurance COM
pany TO do business in this State. The
federal court refused the motion to
grant the injunction, whereupon the
attorneys for the insurance company
appealed from Judge Smiths decision
Pending the hearing before the cir
cult court Of appeals, Judge smith is
sued q temporary injunction restrain
ing Insurance Comm ssioner McMas-
ter from reVoking the insurance COM
panys license. Now that the ap-
peal has been dismissed by the court
of appeals and the federal court here
has dismissed the bills of complaint
and vacated the temporary injunction,
II may be said that the contention
between the insurance commissioner
and the life insurance company is
at an end.
