CANAL AUTHORITIES I Do
AWAY WITH MUCH UN-
NECESSARY RED TAPE
(By Associated Press.)

PANAMA, Dec. 31.-So much red
tape has been eliminated by the canal
officials that a ships captain may now
take his vessel through without hav-
ing to sign single paper, and without
any waste of time Heretofore the
formalities were so numerous that it
sometimes required "a hours for ship
to complete her passage.
Shipping companies have been not
flied that hereafter it will not be nee
essary for them to appoint a shipping
agent on the isthmus, for the reason
that the Panama Canal is prepared to
undertake all work in connection with
the payment of tolls, purchase of
coal, water and other supplies. They
have been informed that all that is
needed is to cable to Panama the prob
able arrival of ship the deposit at
the office of the nearest assistant treas
urer of the United States of the esti-
mated amount of tolls, the probable
supplies the vessel will need and other
! data and the officials of the canal will
see that the ship safely passes through
with the least possible delay and with
out the payment of agents fees by the
owner.
A few days ago a ship arrived at
Cristobal, her owners having apprais-
ed the canal officials of her coming
The deposit had been made and she
was ready to pass through the canal
when the master appeared at the port
captains Office for his papers. He was
given his clearance papers, receipt for
tolls, permit to pass through all the
locks, health certificate, and other nee
essary papers and was told to proceed
through the canal. He was astonished
at not having to obtain from various
officials all these documents and fur
Their at the fact that not single sig
nature was required of him. His stay
in the port of Cristobal was exactly
one hour while at Balbora there was
no stop required beyond slowing up to
drop the pilot in the outer harbor.
1t is pointed out by canal officials
that many papers at first in use prov
ed to complicate matters and occasion
delay. The bulky copies of the ships
manifest have been abolished, and the
boarding officers of the terminal port
now obtain only short abstract.
For time it was necessary for q
ships master to have the signature of
not less than FIVE canal officials before
his vessel was permitted to enter the
canal. This number has now been re-
duced to two, the captain Of the port of
entry and the health officer. These,
however, the captain does not himself
have to obtain but are affixed in the
course of the regular routine of the
port captains Office.

Only Twenty Thousand Bills
Are Now Pending Before Congress

while in the preceding congress, the
sixty second, the total was 2S,846. This
is accounted for in part by the bill
clerks at the capitol because of the
