GOethaIs Expected to Offer
RESIGNATION Again
Canal ReOpened Today

Panama, April 15.-Governor George
W. Goethals Of the Canal Zone, who
withdrew his resignation and hurried
back here from Washington to clear the
Canal of the Gaillard cut landsldes
last September, is expected to reoffer
his resignation to President Wilson if
there rs no promise of further trouble
following the reopening of the Canal to-
day.
Colonel Harding, who has been acting
governor during Goethals' absence in
the United States, is expected to sue
ceed Colonel Goethals as governor, when
the time comes
Goethals has not announced that he
will reoffer his resignation, but his as
sociates here feel sure he will because
he asked to be retired under the army
retirement rule before, thinking his
work in completing the canal was done.
The earth movement blocking the ca
nal began last September, about
time Gotthals offered ms resignation to
, President Wilson at Washington. Al
news of the trouble which prevented
the passage Of the Atlantic fleet, which
was to have attended the opening Of the
Panama Pacific exposition, Goethals
asked the President not to act on his
resignation, and in October he hastened
back to Panama
The canal builder faced task slight
ly less gigantic than the one he faced
in finishing the big project itself. n
ions Of tons of rock and earth have
been torn from the collapsed excava-
tions under Goethals direction, employ
ing bigger dredges and steam sboyels
than ever were used before.
Construction work on the terminal
also have been completed in the mean
time and when the big ships begin to
pass through the canal today, ii will be
more advanced in equipment, more
polished" than it ever has been. 1t
will be able to handle ships much more
expeditiously than heretofore.
II is not considered improbable that
there will be small slides from time to
time, but no more big ones are looked
for and what there mey be are expected
TO diminish in size from year to year.
There is believed to be no danger from
earthquakes. Goethals says the defen-
ses Of the canal zone are adequate 70
