Goethals to Be Governor.

The President today confirmed the re-
port that Col. Goethals is to be governor
of the Panama Canal Zone if he wants
the position. The President said that lie
had not seen Col. Goethals or talked
with him to offer the goverporship, but
that he suspected Col. Goethals had an
idea or what the administration wished
him to do. At no time had the name OF
any one else been considered for the
governorship. The President does not
know the plans of Col. Goethals about
retiring or leaving the Canal Zone after
the canal is put into operation, but the
official announcement of the appointment
of the canal builder governor will be
made as soon as the President has pro-
mulgated the change of government TO
permanent form.
The administration has not sought nor
will it seek to put any limit on Col.
Goethals' term as governor, but when
his task is completed his resignation
probably would be accepted if he de-
sired il.

GOETHALS DETERMINED
TO COMPLETE CANAL
Task Will Keep Him on Isthmus
for Eighteen Months.
at Least.

PANAMA. January 2e.-CoI. George W.
Goethals yesterday reiterated emphatical-
ly his declaration that he could not ac-
cept the post of commissioner Of police
at New York until after the completion
and the successful operation of the Pan
anna canal Even If all the other condi-
tions which he has imposed were COM
piled with. it is said. this would keep
him on the isthmus for another eighteen
months.
1t is generally believed here that the
agitation in New York to take Col.
Goethals from the isthmus will have the
effect of Fastening action at Washington
looking to the establishment of a per-
manent government in the Canal Zone.
The colonel himself makes no secret of
the fact that the delay is causing him
much embarrassment because il prevents
him from making an effort to keep men
on the isthmus whom he would like to see
in the permanent operating organization.

Anxious to Leave Isthmus.

Nor does Col. Goethals make a secret
of his desire to leave the isthmus. He
makes it plain, however, that he wishes
to see his work here completed and the
canal in operation before he returns to
other duties in the United States He
has told friends that the burden is grow
ing heavy, and that he has felt the
weight of criticism that has come to his
administration from various quarters.
Speaking of the commissionership, Col.
Goethais frankly admitted that the offer
of the New York post had attracted him
until he found obstacles that would make
1t impossible for him to carry into effect
reforms which he might desire to make.
His friends here have strongly advised
him against acceptance of the offer. and
1t Is believed that their views have had
great weight with him
