COCKTAILS FOR GOVERNOR.
Wilson Hopes to Have Him OH Alas
kan Railway.

Washington, Jan. 25.-Col. Geo.
w. Goethals will be made civil gov
ernor of the Panama Canal Zone, and
when he gets through with his work
there an effort will be made to have
him construct the proposed Alaskan
railway. This was the opinion to-
day expressed by several persons
close to the administration, comment
ing on reports that the chief engineer
eventually would become commits
sioner Of police of New York city.
Mayor Mitchell, of New York, is ex-
pected here Wednesday TO speak at
banquet of the University Club, and
it is likely that he will talk with
President Wilson on the same day
about the status Of Col. Goethals. 1t
is believed the President will tell
Mayor Mitchell that he is desirious Of
keeping Col. Goehtals that his engi-
neering ability may not be lost to the
united States government, as it would
be by his acceptance to the New York
position.
The President, it became known to-
day, is for the one-man plan Of gov
ernment for the Canal Zone, as pro-
posed by Col. Goethals, in opposition
to the suggestion of a commission.
Secretary Garrison has agreed, and
it was stated authoritatively to-day
that the administration has intended
from the first to name Col. Goethals
as the first civil governor
But Mitchell Won't Quit.
New York, Jan. 25.-"I am going
right ahead with my end of it, and
all | can say is ! expect to get him."
said Mayor Mitchell tonight, refer
n 20 tn NJ
thals to become police commissioner
Of New York city. Mr.. Mitchell add
ed that assumptions that he had an
nounced Col. GOethals' acceptance of
the position were incorrect.
VIII Remain on Isthmus.
Panama, Jan. 27.-Col. Geo. w.
Goethals to-day emphatically reitera-
ted his decision that he could not ac-
cept the post Of New York commits
sioner Of police until after the COM
pletion and the successful operation
OF the Panama Canal. 1t is said this
will keep him on the isthmus for an
other ] 8 months.
1t is generally believed here that
agitation in New York to take Col.
Goethals from the isthmus must has
ten action at Washington looking to
the establishment Of permanent gov
ernment in the Canal Zone. The
Colonel himself makes no secret OF
the fact that the delay is causing him
embarrassment because it prevents
his making an effort to keep men on
the isthmus whom he would like to
see in the permanent operating or
ganization. Nor does Col. Goethals
make a secret OF his desire to leave
the isthmus after his work is COM
pleted. He has told friends that the
burden is growing heavy and that he
has felt the weight of criticism.
Gocthals Named Canal Governor.
Washington, Jan. 27.-Permanent
government in the Panama Canal
Zone, with Col. Geo. w. Goethals as
first Civil Governor, will be estab-
lished April /. An executive order
to this effect was signed by President
Wilson to-day. Secretary Garrison
said Col. Goethals would be officially
informed. The new government will
eliminate the commission now in
charge of the Zone
