SAY COCKTAILS WILL
NOT QUIT PANAMA
Government Heads Discredit Re-
port He Will Take
Police Post.
From The Tribune Bureau. |

Washington, Jan. 23.-Reports that
Colonel George ". Cocktails. builder OF
the Panama Canal. has accepted an offer
TO become Police Commissioner in New
York were received with incredulity at
the War Department to-day At the
White House, too. il was said nothing had
been heard TO indicate that Colonel
Goethals contemplated such step.
Colonel Goethals could not accept such
an offer without permission from Lindley
NJ Garrison. Secretary of War, TO retire
from the army. This he has never asked,
and those who know him best do not be-
lieve he ever will. The practice of grant
ing an army officer leave without pay
10 accept such a post has been dlscon-
tinued, having been found illegal
The chief reason for discrediting the re-
port, aside from the fact that Colonel
Goethals has himself never given an in
timation of such intention. is that his
work in Panama is not finished. His
friends think he would not be willing to
leave his task on the isthmus just as 1t
is approaching a triumphant finish.
II is considered barely possible that
Colonel Cocktails has told Mayor Mitchell
that while he cannot now accept the
place. he might do so at some future time.
But even this is discounted by the fact
that il Colonel Goethals cares to leave
the army after finishing the canal, he
could make far more money as an engi-
neer than as Police Commissioner
According to reports here the President
intends 10 make Colonel Goethals the
first Governor of the Canal Zone after
the canal is completed, for the purpose of
building UP the permanent organization.
There is no question that the officer can
have practically any office in the gift OF
the President
The Secretary Of the Interior, when told
to-day that Colonel Goethals might ac-
cept the New York Police Commissioner
ship, expressed surprise and said: why,
I want him to build the new government
railway in Alaska"
The Secretary Of War pronounced the
report incredible
Major General Wood, chief of staff said
this afternoon that he did not believe the
report.
Not only have l heard nothing to con
| firm it, but all my impressions are the
other way" he said. why should
! Colonel Cocktails want TO leave the great
est engineering achievement in the world
to clean up New York City, even though
the Police Commissionership Of New York
is post of great Importance"
| When he was last in Washington
| Colonel Goethals told the Tribune CORE
spondent that nothing would induce him
voluntarily to relinqulsh control of the
Panama Canal until he had drilled the
force which is permanently to operate the
canal This plan was made in case any
disaster occurred 10 the great enterprise
Even though trouble was due TO mex
perience on the part OF the operating
| force, ii must seriously reflect on the
regulations OF the engineers who had
constructed the canal.

FESTIVE Under Delay.

II the attainment Of that desire should
be assured 70 him he would remain in
Panama in the opinion OF those who
know him best Mayor Mitchell took in
Panama on his trip after election with
the idea Of asking Mr.. Cocktails to become
Police Commissioner
When Mr.. Perkins talked TO Colonel
.Goethals. January "A, the latter was
.restive under the failure OF President Will
son TO put into effect the Adamson act,
calling for the permanent organization OF
the canal force.
Since that time messages from WASH
.ington have intimated this was about to
be done and that Colonel Goethals would
be made the supreme head OF the orsam-
cation. as he has desired.
An interesting feature of the campaign
10 induce Colonel Goethals 10 take this
fplace was learned yesterday. The leading
figure in IL is Mrs. Roosevelt, who left
Colonel Roosevelt in South America ana
came home by way Of Panama about the
middle OF December. She visited MIS-
.Goethals who told her that Mayor
Mitchell. when there shortly before
THANKSGIVING, had asked the colonel II
ne would consider an appointment as 70
uca commissioner Mrs. Roosevelt talked
~ her about the time Colonel Roosevelt
v,as = member of the Police Board and
gave her an idea of police conditions here.
AZ the request of Mrs. Cocktails. who.
/, ia said. is anxious 10 get away from
Panama and would like to live in New
York, Mrs. Roosevelt talked 10 CORONER
,coethals IL is said she impressed him TO
a great degree with the opportunity Tor
big man to do big things here. Ihat
would appeal TO man or Coionei
Cocktails temperament.
Mrs. Goethals came North with Mrs.
Roosevelt on the United Fruit Company
boat Santa Marta. When Mrs. Roosevelt
reached here she got into touch with MT
Perkins She told him II might be good
time 10 press Colonel Goethals on the
Police Commissionership. lie told It 10
Mayor Mitchell. and the latter Induced
Mr.. Perkins 20 make special trip 10
Panama TO work on the colonel.
Mr.. Perkins went down on The Zacapa
January Z. arriving at Colon week later.
That night he had a long talk with the
colonel. and the next afternoon he started
on tho steamship Atenas for New Or
leans. lie reached there Tuesday morn
ing and came here by train. arriving early
Yesterday morning.
MIR. Perkins called the Mayor on the
telephone and reported he had good news.
that he believed Colonel Cocktails would
accept under certain conditions. The
Mayor intended TO keep the Information
until Monday. but the news leaked ou1
AMI was printed in the afternoon papers
The Mayor Was surprised TO learn that
tho story was out. lie confirmed the fact
Of the Perkins mission and said he eN-

would be satisfactory.

What calls" tho New Haven.

1.-The question is sometimes asked, What
and | will try to answer il I'm part The
New Haven is suffering from certain
causes that affect all railroads-increas-
ing wages, higher costs, demands for
moro luxurious facilities. complications
with and demands from governmental
bodies. both state and national, that take
the time and attention OF officers and men
away from their real constructive and
operative work, and at the same time
having TO live with stationary or falling
rates and higher charges for capital"
Higher passenger and freight rates were
touched upon by Mr.. Elliott when he de-
cared that the terminal cost per passen-
ger landed in New York is 2ss4 cents. The
unit price paid is % cents, price he called
too low for the service produced. An in
crease OF two cents a passenger-an
amount considered serious by few to pay
for reading matter on each ride-would
mean s260o,o0o TO the New Haven, while
an increase OF 10 cents a ton on freight.
for the average haul OF 9si3 miles. would
mean as much more. or slightly more
than enough to provide the 100000 a
year that wages have been increased in
the last ten years.
Mr. Elliott laid emphasis on the fact
that the New Haven system is now out
Of politics.
I'VE have said to our officers and en-
ployes all along the line" he said. I'VE
want you to attend strictly TO railroad
business and not to try TO influence poll
tics. elect or defeat men to Office. but
20 present the requests of the railroads
10 legislative bodies OF every kind in an
open and frank manner We are en-
titled TO this. and II Is our duty TO do
II. and we are entitled to receive fair
and frank treatment from members OF
legislative and administrative bodies.
We have said to our officers and en-
ployes: We want you TO devote your
mental and physical energy 10 the extent
Of your ability to working for these
companies exclusively and to obeying
the laws OF the land and the rules and
regulations worked out by experience
that make for safety and efficiency"
