THESTHMIAN CANAL WORK
Engineer Randolph Declares
Ships
Will Sail Through In Ten Years
Will Employ 24,000.
"By Wire to The Morning Star.
--Washington, October 24. Isham
-J Randolph, one ot the members of the
board of consulting engineers for the
Panama canal, has written a letter to
-Zina. R.-Xkrter, president of the sani
tary district of Chicago, in which he
discusses canal conditions. Th Istn"
mlaa" Canal Commission made the let
ter public. today.' Mr.: Randolph says
- he xpects the canal to be completed
- , before 1915. The work of preparation
' he says is going on speedily and when
' the equipment is on hand and the or
' ganization perfected .at least 24,000
; men will be required on the canal.
Much of the present labor is worthless
- because the demand is larger than the
supply." The application of the 8-hour
system to the canal he regards as a
lamentable mistake and will add about
25? per cent, to the cost of labor. Mr.
- Randolph Slays the whole line is "clut
' , tered up with abandoned French ma-
, " chinery,', which cost about $30,000,000
and is now valueless. He declares that
- V- any statement foreshadowing;. the re-.
port of the consulting engineers "can
be set; down as the manufacture of
newsmongers. ; Mr. Randolph-has re
; cently returned from a .visit to Pana
ma with other; members of the board
7 and his 'opinions are interesting and in
view of the publication of the letter by
'the commission may be considered
semi-official. In the course of his let-
-' ter"Mr. Randolph says: ;
' "What s we do know. Is that it . .can
- bite done; that Americans can do it;
- , and that in as short-a time as so
stupendous an undertaking can be put
- through. We do know that almost
, limitless resources await' the demand
" of the Jbuilders; that the builders rep
resent the highest grade of American
engineering talent, led on by a man
whose record of accomplishment is
"but the earnest of the things that he
shall do." Hence we may reasonably
- look for the passage of the great ocean
freighters from the, Caribbean to the
Pacific before pur calendars are head
ed 1915.; ; How much before, this de-
"... ponent sayeth not. This is no easy
triumph, .for- the builders who must
- - contend with and overcome difficulties
not encountered in our ; temperate
. zone." Mr. Randolph speaks highly
of the food provided for the workmen
and says the hospitals are a just source
of pride, -v "

scene. Cotton had been transplanted
in long rows andtwo old Southern
negroes with cottouTpickers sacks on
their shoulders were engaged in pick
ing the staple from the plants. - Sever
al baskets of cotton were scatterecl
about the field. The President was

In his address at this college he spoke
on good citizenship and what it takes
to make a good man and a good

front of the office building surmounted
by the President's flag. - From this

our belovedrepublic of-80,000.000 "peo
ple deemed it good and wise to Include
Tuskegee Institute in his trip through
the South and spend a few hours see
ing the work we are doing here, brings
to the heart of every man and woman
of our race in this country, a degree of
encouragement and inspiration which
it is Impossible for any American citi
zen, not of our race, fully to appre
ciate' -
Before beginning his speech, the
President said he had no Idea that
he would be so deeply Impressed and
so deeply pleased ,as he had been.
While I have always stood for . this
institution," he continued, "now that

never realized by the descriptions of it,
all it means, I will stand for it more
than ever." The President then spoke
at length.

ing of whistles and the "cheering of

guest of the people of the flrstcapi
tal of the Confederacy. The general
reception committee was headed by
Governor Jelks, Mayor Teague and
Judge J. B. Gaston; who met the party.
After a few preliminaries the parade
moved f 50m the depot. The patriotic
sentiment or tne people was expressed
everywhere by the floating of flags
and tri-colord bunting, and thousands
of cheers went up as. the President's
carriage moved off from the Ijnion sta
tion iollowed by the civic and military
parade. The route ; was .through the
principal streets to the capitol where
platform had been erected in front
of the historic Old building and with
in a few feet of the spot where Jeffer

the first President of the Confederacy.
The welcome to the President : was

livered the address of welcome for the
State and introduced the President -
The President spoke briefly- He ex

touched upon the building of the Isth
mian canal, and what it meant to the
people of the South- The cotton ques
tion was also taken up by the Presl

NEWSPAPER MEN WELL PAID

to Wire Papers That iis Testlmof-

Unblushing Effrontery.
! "By ' Wire to The' Morning Star
New York, October 24. At the sesr
slon today of the legislative commit
tee, investigating the Insurance compa
nies, the affairs of the Mutual Life Ini
surance Company were under consid
eration and it was brought out that
this company- was paying for the dis
semination throughout the country of
representations of the - investigation'
that- were favorable to the company."
Charles J. Smith, a newspaper man,
was the, witness. . He is employed by
the Mutual Life Insurance Company to
do ' a ' large number of. things, but a
month ago was placed, in charge of
sending out jthese reports. Mr. Smith
had vised a number of vouchersfor
the payment, for- this work and these.
aggregated $11,000. with other, bills to
come In. He thought the amount to
date would reach $14,000. v-'
' Mr. Smith wrote the reports and
submitted them to Allen .Forman - who
owns the Telegraphic ' News Bureau
and $1 a line was paid by the Mutual
Life for service. Clippings from vari
ous papers about the country, includ
ing the Boston Hertld, Florida Times-
Union and. Atlanta Constitution, were
shown to the witness and Identified
as the dispatches he wrote and sent
to Mr. Forman.'- These .were sent to
about ona hundred papers, -but Mr.
Smith did not know whether the pa
pers were paid for Inserting them. In
one dispatch Mr. Smith wrote that
Mr. McCurdy's attitude on the stand
made a distinctly favorable impression
and for this he had to pay $2 per line.
This he said was worth It '
FolIowing.Mr. Smith, Walter Sulli
van, who has charge of tiie magazine
advertising department, 'was called.
He said the Mutual advertised in
twelve magazines last year at a cost
of $42,000. ; Advertising . inl Insurance
papers cost about $30,000 more but
he could not tell whether the -remain-
der of the account jof $329,797, the
amount charged up tp advertising last
year, was spent ,
Earlier In the day Emory McClin
tock, the actuary of the Mutual Life,
was no the stand. The entire early
session of . tije day before; reces was
given over to his explanation of tech
nical insurance. Mr. McClirttock prac
tically advocated no laws for the in
surance companies, except a certain
supervision to give the reports public
ity.; He thought the public could take
care of themselves and that publicity
was the best law. Asked how far this
view was shared In official circles, he
thought he was somewhat of a mis
sionary along that line. Mr. McCIin
tock was to have been on the stand
in the afternoon session but during re
cess He was seized with a -slight at
tack of vertigo to which he is sub
ject He will be called again tomor
row. John R. Hegeman, president of the
Metropolitan Life Insurance Company,
was examined and when adjournment
was taken this afternoon hjis testimo
ny was unfinished. While lacking the
startling features of the testimony of
the other life insurance presidents
wno nave testified, Mr. Hegeman's
remarks and explanations were, none
the less Interesting, especially his
statement 4hat $876,000 was edven to
the; industrial policy holders of his.
company last year without any obliga
tion whatever. Mr. Hegeman further
said that in eight years his company
had voluntarily given to the policy
holders $8,000,000. This was In ex
tended insurance, mortuary dividends
and liberalized policies during epi
demics, . floods and fires. It was
brought out that while tiie: company
carried collateral loans , throughout
the year,, none appeared in the- annual
report" on December 31. This was ex
plained by the witness, who said that
all collateral . loans were transferred
on the last day of the yfear to Vermi
lye & Co., the bankers, under an agree
ment and were bought back again' In
January. This was done, according to
the witness to avoid the horde of ap
plications for call loans from the Wan
street district Mr. Hegeman did not
encourage; the call loan business for
this -section, because it, entailed keep
ing a dicker in his office and he would
not have one, there.' He further, did
not care to have his company known
as a loaning, company. -The large
loans at such a low interest as one
and a half per cent especially the one
to-President-J6hnAi McCali of the
New York Life; Insurance 'Company,
.were taken up, - and Mr.Ti Hegeman
spoke strongly of his friendship for
McCali who, he said, was closer than
any other man to him 1 In" lnsurance,
butslde of hisi immediate associates.
Mr.' McCali had rendered, him Valuable
service that was of benefit to the com
pany and personally? he. thought ftoe'
company could afford and would have
been justified In paying McCali the
few hundred,' dollars the loans amount
ed ; to. The same was true, .he said,'
of Silas B. Dutch'er," a? director of the
company, who also carried large loans
with the company at low interest.'

Talgny Incident involving President
Castro's alleged discourteous' treat
ment of the French minister at Cara
cas. The Washington government
reels that President Castro made a
mistake In this matter.
At the French embassy the 'follow-;
Ing authorlatlvev statement was made:
We are extremely happy to hear
of the very kind intervention of the
United. States.! And ibe news of the
Intervention seems, to us all the bet
ter because tt 'will,' without any doubt
enable President Castro to realize the
error made by his Minister of Foreign
Affairs and probably will . have the
result that France . shall not have to
take recourse to such methods as she
would dislike, very much to use, but
for. which; in case of need, all. pre
parations 'have; been made."

RIOT IN CHILIAN CITY
Fifty Killed and Five Hundred Wound
ed in Sunday and Monday Riots
" Outrageous Vandalism. s
Santiago, Chile., Oct 24.-The dis
turbances here caused by the opposi
tion of the people to the import tax
on Argentine cattle continued all day
yesterday And did not close until late
last night when a." small detachment of
troops arrived here and a few shots
were fired. The people of SantiagoJ
have just witnessed the most shame
ful occurrences in the rftys existence.
Almost everything which could be de
stroyed has been wrecked, including
the city lamps, public monuments and
windows everywhere. . Several hun
dred arrests have been mane. During
the day more troops reached Santiago
and with their arrival relative tran
quility prevailed and 'the city is grad
ually assuming Its normal condition.
A bitter feeling prevails against the
authorities. The outbreak is not con
sidered to be political blrt is believed
to be the work of rowdies who were
encouraged by the . absence of the
troops at the manoeuvres. The police
f orco was unable to cope with the
rioters. The officials of the street rail
roads estimate the damage done to
their property atabout $250,000. -'
:; Buenos Ayres, Argentina. October
24. A dispatch from Santiago, Chile,
says that about 50 persons were Wiled
and 500 wounded during, the recent
rioting there. It is hoped that order
will, be restored today.
