SEES ANOTHER CANAL
NEEDED IN NICARAGUA

The construction of another IN
teroceanic canal, along the Nlcara-
guam route, has become necessity
in the opinion of Representative
Charles II. Randall, of California.
who announced last night that he
shortly will introduce a bill on the
subject. Mr.. Randall has just re-
turned from a visit to the Panama
Canal, with a party of other Con-
gressmen.
The bill will provide for surveys
of the Nicaraguan route. and the
preparation of estimates OF cost.
Inasmuch as there are only about
eighteen miles which must be eN-
cayated between Lake Nicara qua
and the Pacific ocean, ii is Mr.. Ran
dall's opinion that the cost of con-
structing the canal will be consid-
erabIy less than the cost of thu
Panama Canal.
Among reasons given by Mr..
Randall why another canal should
be dug is that the Panama Canal
soon will be unable to take care OF
all the ships to go through II. The
canal is now handling an average
Of twenty-five ships a day. and en-
gineers have estimated its maxi
mum capacity at thirty-six ships a
day. The maximum will be reached
long before another canal could be
constructed, in Mr.. Randalrs opln-
ion.
Secretary of War Baker has en-
dorsed the view that the Panama
Canal will reach the limit OF its ca
pacity within a few years. and that
another canal will be needed.

Jury Decides He Is Entitled to
Two Per cent. of Net Profits
of Dry Dock Co.
SON WANTS $4,000.
May Ask Receiver to Determine
Exact Earnings for 10, NJ
and Part of '18.

In a sealed verdict returned this
morning a jury in the Brooklyn Su-
preme Court declared that Edward p.
Morse jr. was entitled to 2 per cent.
of the net profits of the Morse Dry
Dock and Repair Company for 1916,
1917 and part of 1918. Edward p.
Morse sr is President of the COM
pany. His son claimed that the
profits during this period were $23,-
100000. He admitted he had been
paid $4,000. and he sought to obtain
S427,O more.
1t was said that the attorney for
the younger Morse would move on
Monday for the appointment OF n re-
ceivcr to determine exactly the net
profits OF the concern during the
period in order that computation may
be made of the amount due to the
younger Morse. o..
The jury rendered its verdict by an
swering two questions propOurded
for them by Justice Faber. They held
that the younger Morse had an oral
agreement with the company, made
in May, 1916, by which he was to
receive $4,000 a year salary and 2 per
cent. of the net profits for each year
that he was in the en- ploy of the
company.
They replied in. the negative TO the
question which contained the elder
Morse's version Of the agreement,
which asked whether this version was
correct. Morse sr., admitted that his
sons salary was to be $1,000 p year.
But he claimed that, in addition, the
son was to receive 10 per cent. Of the
net distributable profits credited to
and accepted by himself (Morse sr)
under n contract between Morse sr.,
and the company. The elder Morse
claimed his son examined the con-

In the anxious months that fol-

John had been killed in action in one
OF the most hotly contested sectors
and Mrs. Humes told the Court, she
wore mourning in his memory. for
many months. Then, she said. Johns
regiment came home. a Philadelphia

SAN FRANCISCO. Cal, June 26
Copyright. 1s2OJ.-Plenty OF ballots
will be taken before the Democratic
National Convention chooses its can
didates for President and Vice Presi-
dent. 1t looks like prolonged fight,
not perhaps as long as the tedious
struggle at Baltimore in 1912, but
with many OF the very same charac-
teristics and alignments.
Outwardly the Wilson forces
meaning thereby q coalition of
the Palmer and McAdoo delegates
and a goodly proportion of the Cox
delegates-are in control of this con-
vention. There is q more or less
influential. but hardly powerful
enough minority, which differs with
the Wilson Administration. This
minority fluctuates between interest
in the candidates. of Vice President
Marshall, former Speaker Champ
Clark, Senator Robert l.. owen and
n pronounced sentiment for wetness
in the platform, no matter who the
candidate may be.
BRYAN IS IN A GLASS ALL BY
HIMSELF.
In class by himself is William Jen-
nings Bryan, who can control a big
vote on platform planks on the Pro-
hibition question, but who cannot die
tate the nomination either for himself
or anybody else. He can veto any cam
didate whose record on the wet and
dry issue Is inconsistent with such
platform planks as may he adopted.
That Is as far as he can go, and, as
suming that the platform will have
been adopted when the balloting for
candidates begins, Mr.. Bryan's capac-
ity for mischief really ends there.
Now the big delegations from New
York. Massachusetts, New Jersey and
Illinois are far more Interested in a
wet plank than in candidates, chiefly
because they believe their State
tickets can thus be led TO victory.
There is moreover. considerable anti
Wilson sentiment in some Of these
delegations. The Cox managers have
very shrewdly made bid for this sup
port on the ground that by naming
Cox, whose reputation is that Of a wet,
1t would be unnecessary to refer to
the Prohibition question at all, thus
avoiding any quarrel with Bryan.
They have insisted, too, that Cox
wasn't a member Of the Wilson Cabi-
net and would not be held responsible
for the errors Of the Administration.
