COCKTAILS TO GOVERN PANAMA
His Nomination Sent to the Senate by
President WiIson--Increase lin
Salary IL Urged. si

4 Washington, Jan. 31.-President Will
son sent to the senate the name OF
Col. George w. Goethals to be first
governor of the Panama Canal Zone.
Colonel Goethals will assume Office on
April I. e
A salary Of $4,000 a year for Colo
mel Cocktails as governor Of the Pan
ANA Canal Zone is asked in bill In
troduced Il by. I Representative Britten
of Illinois. Realizing that Colonel
Goethals will make financial sacri7
flee in taking the civil governorship OF
the canal, Britten proposes to amend
the Panama canal act, which provides
q $4,000 salary, by adding these
words, .and $4,000 additional while
the office is held by Col. George W.
Goethals."
Britten says he Is confident, after
talking with Colonel Goethals several
times, that his ambition Is to round
out his work by becoming the COVER
nor of the zone. He asserts he believes
Colonel Goethals much prefers this
post to that of police commissioners
of New York. e;
"If had any idea that a civil po-
sition Of this character would appeal
to Colonel Cocktails" says Mr.. Britten.
II would use my best efforts to see
that his services were solicited by the
(city Of Chicago, where they could be
used to even greater public benefit
than in a city Of limited area like
New York. 3 & f#i4
