WILL OPEN CANAL BY JULY
Goethals, In Making Announcement,
upholds Repeal Of United States
Ship Tolls.

Washington, Feb 2S.-Col. Geo. w.
Goethals said on Friday that, barring
unforeseen accidents, the Panama
canal will be open for merchant ships
July 1. The colonel added that he
had always been opposed to the ex-
emption OF American coastwise ship
ping from the payment of tolls, be-
cause that would decrease the reve-
nues of the canal and, in his opinion,
would not accrue to the benefit of con-
sumers, but merely increase profits OF
the ship owners. The colonel declined
to discuss its legal aspect or its bear
ing on treaty relations.
THE canal Notifications are entirely
adequate" said the canal builder, and
do not think there is the slightest
danger of the canal being captured by
any enemy. for it would not be pos
sible for such force to get near

MURPHY FORCED OUT.
GOVERNOR TENER AND c. p. TAFT
PUT CUBS OWNER OUT OF
BASEBALL.
EvERs IS CAUSE OF SALE
Discord m Big League Stirred by Chi
cagoan In Attacks en- Others Is
Suddenly Ended by His Resigna-
ton.

Chicago, Feb. 24.-Charles Webb
Murphy has sold his stock in the Chi
cago National league club (the Cubs)
and has resigned as president and di-
rector of that organization. His hold
ings in the Chicago club have been
purchased by Charles p. Taft.
An announcement carrying the news
that Mr.. Murphy had sold out and quit
the game was made in Cincinnati Sat
urday following a meeting between
Gov. John K. Tener Of Pennsylvania,
president OF the National league, Mr..
Taft, Harry Ackerland of Pittsburgh,
a stakeholder in the Chicago club, and
John Conway Toole, director of the
Boston National league club and legal
adviser to the National league.
There have been various reports as
to the amount Of money that would be
required to buy out Murphy's control
of the club. Some have set the figure
at 100000; others at $750,000. Frank
Chances ten per cent. of the stock in
the Cubs was bought by Alderman
when Chance quit for $4,000.
The crisis which forced Mr.. Murphy
out of the control of the Cubs devel-
oped IL days ago, when Murphy sud
denly deposed John Evers as manager
of the club and named in his place
Hank O'Day, the National league UNI
pire.
The manner In which EverS was
bounced stirred up an unprecedented
flood of criticism, which recalled Muir
phys earlier action in getting rid OF
Frank Chance, and there arose gen
eral demand that Murphy get out OF
the game.
The withdrawal of Murphy came
after a four-hour conference in Gin
cinnati, solving situation that had
grown decidedly delicate in National
league circles. While the conference
was in session the presidents of seven
National league clubs were also meet
ing and discussing the possibility OF
an amicable adjustment of the Evers
case.
Charles w. Murphy's career as a
baseball magnate extended over q
period of little more than eight years
During that time hesgained more noto
riety than any club owner ever had in
the history of the game.

VIENNA HEAVILY TAXED
CARING FOR REFUGEES
Families of Reservists and Unem-
ployed Add to Austrian Cap
ital's Burdens.

VENICE, via Paris, September 25.-
A graphic picture of conditions of life
in Vienna is revealed in an official
statement of the mayor of Vienna that
his city is supporting the families of
$4,000 reservists at daily cost Of $780,
900 and in addition is endeavoring to
provide for 100000 unemployed and
another 100000 fugitives from Galicia
and the crownland Of Bukowina.
For the fugitives Of the city already
has expended $1,000,000.
10000 Are Helpless.
According to the mayors statement
100000 unemployed have been given po-
sitions on the public works, but the
remaining $4,000 are helpless. The
mayor complains that there has been
an inadequate response to his appeals
for the various war relief funds and
says many wealthy persons have with
held subscriptions upon the plea that
they did not know which fund to
assist
The first official report of the Aus
trian Red Cross shows that the total
contributions to it's fund amounted to
only $4,000. The report says that
the rich industrial classes, for the most
part, subscribed literally, but ex-
presses disappointment at the small
contributions of many enormously
wealthy aristocratic land owners.
Generosity Among Poor.
The middle and even the lower class
es, the report adds, have shown them
selves more generous.
Polish newspapers say that when
OCCUPYING Lemberg the Russians
showed the utmost consideration for
the population. They paid cash for
all supplies taken,- placed sentries to
guard the public buildings and left
only enough troops behind to main
tain order. Nearly half the popula-
tion fled the city, but the remainder
are living in perfect quiet and Sc
curity, according to the newspapers.
