COYEyS WARRINGTON LWVASION1

When we get to washington" sai the general, it shall be the purpose o the leaders to impress upon the gov ernment that there is an army of the unemployed in this fair land of ours and that it is a mighty huge one at that. @a
 Today there are between 100000 and 3,000.000 more unemployed in this country than a year ago, and some thing must be done, and that's why the army is being organized to march on washington. The country will finapQ the undertaking, just as it did in IS the people in the towns and villag through which the various divisio will, pass being counted upon to shS their patriotism by providing food, al shelter when needed, to the marcher And the people will help, too, wheh they realize what it all means"
 At this point General Coxey let out a secret It was the why of the whole great undertaking. conspiracy, he said, had been entered into by the rich men of the country. tt
 First of all," said General Coxey, these conspirators wanted to have al certain sort of currency bill passed---A a bill that would suit them to g t. And they got it. although they managed to make the people think they were against it.. The bill as it passed was a Wall street measure pure and simple.
 Secondly, the conspirators have a scheme to force the interstate conn., merce commission to grant perY cent increase, in freight rates. Thirdly, they began to give smaller orders for railroad equipment, closing many plants and compelling the others to reduce prices in order to get business. This threw thousands of men out of employment
 Tn the fourth place, they wanted - and succeeded magnificently in creating an army of unemployed men, whom they will use as a club against the em- ployed to make cheaper wages. Fifthly, many months ago they unloaded stocks at par. and now they are buying them back at 50 and 75 cents on the dollar. A smart crowd that I tell you"
 Why don't you have a division of suffragettesT' General Coxey was asked.
 Maybe we will" he replied, land if< we do a woman of national fame will lead it. And the Chicago suffragettN, band will play the music for them to march by"
 Asked what the army would demand from congress in the way of legisla- ton, the commander in chief said one railroads, and two others would make possible the getting of money to live by those out of employment at about 2 per cent interest

commission for further investigation. Colonel Goethals reported that the data obtained by the. battleships would not have been of any value to an enc my's fleet and that the height of the intervening land would prevent hostile fleets from dropping projectiles into the Gatun locks from the open sea.
 To keep 8 hostile fleet farther away an important modification of the de- fense arrangements was made by Co., lonel Goetha1s. This was the exten- sion of the breakwater from Toro point, some distance farther out to sea than was originally intended. Such action was taken because the navy de- partment suggested the desirability of providing a safe anchorage within the

The present scheme of protecting the canal on the Colon end provides fort on Margarita island, where eight mor- tars of a new type having a range of 10000 yards, two fourteen inch guns and two six-inch guns will be mounted. On the Toro point side there will be eight mortors, two fourteen finch guns and two six-inch guns. In addition heavy guns will be erected on the end of the breakwater running, out from Toro point. There will also be two six inch guns on Manzanilla point, op- posite the city of Colon.
 On the Pacific side a question con- corning the adequacy of the defense has been raised by some coast artillery officers because of the lack of fortifica- tions on Taboga island which is about 12,0O0 yards from the end of the Pa cific terminus of the canal. Some ex- perts say that an enemy's vessels could take up position behind Toboga is land and attack the Panama fortifica- tions. This and other important ques- tions were considered during the re- cent trip of MT. Garrison the secretary of war, to the isthmus. MT. Garrison was accompanied by Brigadier General E. M. Weaver, chief of coast artillery.
 Gatun lake, when full, will cover an area of 167 square miles, being the largest artificial body of water in the world, with the possible exception of the lake in Egypt, created by damming the Nile. It constitutes the summit level of the Panama canal Through it vessels will steam a distance of twen- ty-five miles on their journey from ocean to ocean. The lake was formed by building a massive earthen dam from bluff to bluff across the Chagres valley at Gatun, impounding the wa-j ters of the Chagres river. A re-en-. forced concrete spillway is located near the center of the dam

 Early in the evening the newspaper men seek an audience with MT. Whit man. A volley of questions greet the prosecutor Some are answered, some are not. To all questions bearing on pending grand jury proceedings Mr. Whitman turns deaf ear. They are tabooed. '~'t'--~t
 As the newspaper men leave. stack of letters dictated during the day is placed before MT. whitman and for ten minutes his pen is busy. There is time for a smoke--the first cigar of the day. During the evening he will smoke two or three more. A final talk with his aids in the state contract graft inquiry and MT. Whitman leaves for home, choosing the subway rather than his own machine. There is . function to attend. A quick change to evening dress, hurried bite of din- ner. Midnight comes before the days work is really over. Every public man will tell you that speechmaking is work, and hard work too.
 The day with MT. Whitman left the writer dizzy, but to the district at- torney there was nothing unusual about it.
 Some time I'm going to take day of and get good rest" he says.
 If the prosecutor rests as rapidly as he works a lot of resting will be dod ir,fa that dav off

ters to sign, documents to scan or memorandums of evidence to weigh. These papers are spread on the table, some of them between his dishes. Eff teen minutes pass, the dishes are hus- tied away, and MT. Whitman for an hour is engrossed in legal documents.
 A call comes from the special grand jury room Through the rear door he hastens and a moment later is before the jury which is hearing state con- tract graft evidence. 1t is late in the afternoon when MT. Whitman, tired out by the strain of questioning re- luctant state officials or former ofn- cials, returns to his private office.
 Gets Report on Becker Case.
 There is more work ahead however. The threads of evidence to be used in the retrial of Police Lieutenant Becker for the murder of the gambler Herr man Rosenthal' have to be gathered. The prosecutors assistant, Frederick Groehl, has been out interviewing wit nesses all morning. He is ready to re- port to MT. whitman. For an hour they are closeted, going carefully over the case, weighing the evidence, discarding some, accepting some. Lawyers for several of the principals in the first trial--Rose, Schepps and Webber--are communicated with by telephone. Ff- nally MT. Groehl leaves the inner sane tum.
 But the days work is not over. The courts have closed for the day. The judges have gone home The average lawyer is hofneward bound. Night is closing in. From the dim hulk of the Criminal Courts building lights shine brightly through the third floor win

 The joint army and navy exercises to test the forts which sweIe set for February, following the advance base maneuvers in Porto Rico, have been postponed until 1915 at the request of the war department. In suggesting the postponement the officials of the army said that it would be more advisable to defer the maneuvers until the land notifications had been entirely finished and all the fire control instruments in stalled. As the exercises were initiat- ed by the war department the navy department agreed to the postpone ment. &

is no slight task that is performed daily by the district attorney of New York county.
 MT. Whitman's sturdy figure, whose square jaw and firm mouth denote de- termination in every line, has just en- tered his private office by way of the judges chambers, which abut the dis trict attorneys suit in the rear. He always uses the rear entrance, thus avoiding the early callers who congre- gate in the main office. Tn moment MT. Whitmans hat and coat are oil, and he plunges into the office mail. This has been opened and assorted. His secretary and his able stenograph- CT, Miss Marguerite Deterling, who has

engagement is made for 11:30 a. m. MT Whitman turns from the telephone, glances swiftly through the list of waiting visitors and the nature of the business on which they come, sees the ones whom his assistants cannot ham, ,dle, then sends for the members of his staff who have left word with the dis trict attorneys secretary that matters of importance must be discussed.
 Downstairs a murder trial is pro- ceeding The district attorney is rep resented there by James A. Delehanty. New evidence has been obtained, but before offering it MT. Delehanty de- sires to consult the chief prosecutor. Mir. whitman leaves his office, hurries to the supreme court and confers there with Delehanty.
 Receives Call From Sulzer.
 Back to his office, where Ex-Gov- ernor Sulzer, now an assemblyman from the Sixth district, awaits him. "The same old Bilr' explains his visit, is questioned by MT. Whitman and leaves, after pledging his aid in the district attorneys effort to, convict any grafters who may have figured in the

holdup of contractors during the last few years.
 Later deliveries have brought more mail. Telegrams have also been re- 1eived. A magazine desires MT. Whit mans picture and copy of a recent ad- dress on simplifying the code of civil procedure. Autograph collectors re- quest a sample of his chirography; college men, preparing papers, want in formation; a student of crime desires assistance in his studies. These and 8 hundred kindred requests come through the mail, by messenger or over the telephone.
 It is the lunch hour, but MT. Whit
 man has no time to leave the Criminal Courts building.
 Get a bite sent in,'' is the instruc, ton to Louis Hoffman, the genial guardian of the outer office. Louis is off to a nearby restaurant with the order-chops, salad and a pot of coffee.
 Before his lunch arrives MT. Whit man confers with Chief Magistrate McAdoo They are still in earnest conversation when the tray is brought
 in. It is the signal for the chief mag }istrate to leave. for he has a luncheon
 engagement outside. The bite is spread upon a table in the inner sanctum." as the district attorney s staff call small private room in the
 rear of MT. Whitman's office. It is in this small room that some of his most important conferences are held behind
 closed doors. No attendant ever en- ters there while his chief is engaged in the inner sanctum.
 During the nasty lunch MT. Whit man continues to work There are let
