MUST COMPLETE TASK.
GoethaIs Can Not Leave Isthmus for
Eighteen Months.

Panama, Jan. 25.-Col George w.
Goethals today emphatically reiterat-
ed his decision that he could not oc-
cept the post of New York commissio-
ner of police until after the compile
tion and the successful operation the
Panama canal. Even If all condi-
tions he has imposed we're complied
with, it is said this will keep him
on the isthumas for another Is mon
this
1t Is generally believed here that
agitation in New York to take Col.
Goethals from the isthmus will hasten
action at Washington looking to the
establishment of permanent govern
ment in the canal zone. The colonel
himself makes no secret of the fact
that the delay prevents mis- making
any effort to keep men on the isthmus
whom he would like to see in the
permanent operating organization.
Nor does Col. Goethals make a
secret of his desire to leave the 18TH
mus after his work is completed.
Col Goethals frankly admitted that
the offer of the New York post had
attracted him until he found obstacles
in the way of his leaving the 18TH
mus.

WOULD FORT|FY
PACIFIC ISLES
New Bill Provides For Wawaiian
DefenSes.
GEN. WOOD URGES ACTION.
Chief of STAFF Says Proper Protec
ton For Lands in Midocean is
Essential

Washington, Jan. 24.-An extern
sive system of land fortifications for
the Hawaiian islands is proposed in
the annual fertilization appropriation
bill, reported to the house today by
Representative Sherley Of Kentucky.
The bill would provide $457,OOO to
build Notifications as a part of the
war departments plan to establish a
strong military post supplemental to
the Hawaiian naval base
At the request Of the department.
the measure would give congressional
approval of the transfer Of As field
artillery pieces to the iusular posses
sion. The guns were sent to the
Philippines and the Hawaiian islands
during the past year by the depart
meDt without waiting for authority
from congress.
The bill would appropriate $5,-
10000.
This is a decrease of about $42O,-
600 under last years appropriations.
The Hawaiian island project is the
only new one proposed. 1t was in
cluded at the solicitation of Secre-
tary Garrison and general staff Off
GERS.
REALLY NECESSARY.
Mai. Gen. Wood, chief OF staff told
the appropriations committee that
fortification of the islands was Of
great necessity.
| He and Secretary Garrison outlined
the war departments plans to the
committee.
THE Hawaiian islands," said Gen
Wood, really are in the centre Of all
the Pacific trade routes, and who
ever holds them in time OF war will
exercise great influence If not control
of the Pacific trade.
1T also is one of the important, If
not the most important, element in
the defense OF the Pacific coast.
Gen. Wood presented a scheme OF
the garrison which the department
plans to place in the works on the is
land of Oahu, near the city of Homo
lulu. 1t called for l ,665 men and
sos officers. When Representative
Sherley asked if the Panama canal
defense promoted these plans, the
general said:
ANOTHER GOOD REASON.
"The Panama canal has been a
strong additional reason for doing
this, but the defense of the Pacific
coast also is n reason; | think the
fundamental reason. If we don't hold
securely these islands, and If they
should fall into the hands OF a strong
naval power, this power would be so
near rs greatly to jeopardZe our trade
and would virtually be in position
to maintain force and hold splen-
did harbOr as a place for supply and
refuge for a fleet"
The committee included in note bill
a limitation providing that not more
N y.-Ns.
ton included in the bill shall be used
to purchase from private manufac-
turers articles which can be manufac-
tured in the government arsenals
when contract prices exceed govern
ment cost of manufacture.

SALOON TOWN VOTES IT DRY.
Millionaire Colony at Springs Also De-
cides in Favor of Ants.

One OF the strange freaks OF the cleo
tion last week is shown in the returns
from Ramona, the wet spot on the edge
of Colorado City which was started by
saloon. men after "Old Town" went dry
two years ago, went "dry" by a vote
of I07 to 60 at Tuesdays election. La
Vergne, which comes within the same
voting precinct as Ramona, came sub
stantially to the rescue of the "drys,"
although a number of property owners
in the town of Ramona itself voted
dry"
The returns show interesting results
from the prohibition standpoint in El
Paso county. For example, Broadmoor,
the exclusive colony of miIlionaires at
the foot of Cheyenne mountain, where
the finest wine cellars in the state are
part of the equipment of big houses,
went. "dry" 1874 to ia. Likewise, Wards
l and 2, comprising the fashionable
North End of Colorado Springs, voted
almost solidly for prohibition.
Manitou, saloon town, went wet
by one vote.
The city of Colorado Springs stood
5,57l for prohibition and 1904 against
The total vote was $3.50 for prohibition
and 1898 against, a majority of 3,7s7
for the "drys." Two years ago in the
local option contest El Paso county re-
turned 2,4s7 against prohibition.
