Washington, Special. President Roosee!t Avill visit the Isthmus of Panama to make a personal investi gation of the work of construction of the Panama canal. This announcement a;is made at the White House by Secretary Loeb after a conference with the Presi dent. It is expected the 'President will leave Washington for Panama the latter part of next October or in the early days of November. He will be absent about three Aveeks. The trip probably Avill be made on one of the big cruisers of the navy, but what A-essel will carry the President and his party is not yet known. None of the details of the trip has yet been Avorked out. Beyond the bare decision to make the trip, the President has reached practically "no conclusions. It is likely he Avill be accompanied on the journey by Sec retary Taft and Chairman Shouts, of the Panama canal commission, but even this has not been determined definitely. Wants to See For Himself. The President long has desired per sonally to inspect the route of the canal and to make himself personally familiar with the great undertaking of constructing the waterway. The decision announced today, that he will visit the American ztme on the Isthmus of Panama, was not reached hastily but litis been under considera tion for a considerable time. It is the expectation that the President will be able to spend at least a Aveek on the canal zone, and in that time he will familiarize himself Avith the situation by a study of it tit close range. He believes a personal visit to the canal zone Avill enable him to ffather information that Avill be of immense adva'Aage not only to the canal work itself, but to Congress and io the American people. Above all, it Avill enable him to handle with an absolute knowledge of the situation the great problems Avhich Avill con slanHy he a-ising in connection with the Avork of canal construction and administration. $60,000 Factory Fire in Atlanta.

The hcav scale, which will take eff-rt duly 2, is practically the same as that pre vailing previous to July 1. 1004.

SPEAKS FOR HIMSELF Taking for His Text the Statement That He is Being Described as Conservative, Nebraskan Declares That Radical measures Against Private Monopolies Are Necessary to. Save Legitimate Wealth From Odium. Trondhjem, K or way, By Cable. William J. Bryan has arrived here to attend the coronation of King Haa kon. Mr. Bryan, taking for his text the statement that he was being de scribed as conservative, said: "I am not responsible for the phrases used in regard to me; but I am responsible for my position on public questions. That position ought to be Avell knoAvn. Take the trust question for instance, as it seems uppermost just hoav. My po sition is, that private monoDoly is in defensible and intolerable. That was the Democratic platform in 1900 and the plank was incorporated in 100-1 and it is the only tenable posi tion. "There is some talk of controll ing the trusts you might as Avell talk of controlling burglary. We do not say men shall not steal a little bit, or in some particular way, but that they shall not steal at all. It is so of private monopolies. It is not suf ficient to control or regulate them they must be absolutely and totally destroyed. Corporations should be controlled and regulated, but private monopolies must be exterminated, root and branch. Xoav you can call that a radical doctrine. Yet it is more conservative to apply this rem edy now than to wait until predato ry wealth has by its lawlessness brought odium on legitimate accumu lations. "What used to be called radical is hoav called conseiwative because people have been investigating1. The doctrine has not changed but public sentiment is making progress." Mr. and Mrs. Bryan Avill spend a week in Norway and will then go to England. HAIL THREE FEET BEEP. Terrifiice Storm Sweeps Over Por tion of Orange County, Causing Thousands of Dollars Worth of Damage to Crops. Durham, Special. From parties who were in tUe city today particu lars of a hail storm that did great damage in the noi l hern part of Or ange county Tuesday night were learned. The loss Avas something fearful, large planters losing every thing. The hail belt was from three quaners to amiie in Avidth. i'he storm did not last more than 15 or 20 minutes. In that length of time thousands of dollars worth of prop erty was destroyed. in some places," said Mr. S. T. Pittard, who tost his entire crop of tobacco, oats, cotton and corn, "the ice was piled three feet deep yesterday morning. This Avas iu ditches, or placis where it was rifted." Continuing, he said that yesterday nioruing one of his neighbors gathered a guano sack full of the hail stones and carried them to llillsboro, a distance of 11 miles. "hen he reached Hillsboro," said my informant, "the stones were as large as guinea eggs. This gives you some idea of the size of the stores when they fell, these being gathered after lying on the ground all night." Telling of some of the losers, Mr. Pittard said that he lost his entire crop of tobacco, 90,000 hills; all his corn, oats and cotton. Fate Cooper lost from S0,000 to 90,000 hills of tobacco, Joe Hurst from 50,000 to 00,000 hills, llufus Wilkins 35,000 hills. John Saterfield, D. L. Wells, William Ellison, Will Weight, Chas. Wilson, Mrs. Anderson and numbers of others lost practically their entire crop. All of these parties lost corn, cotton and oats, in addition to the large loss ou the tobacco crop. The lirst hail belt was 11 miles north of Hillsboro, near Carr's post office. Here the belt Avas little more than a half mile wide. At Caldwell, a distance of nine or ten miles, the loss Avas fearful. The average Avidth of the belt Avas probably from three quarters to one mile. The storm went intoAvards the AA-estern part of Person county. One year ago this same section was visited by a fearful bail storm ana wind storm and the damage occasion ed to the tobacco crop Avas fearful. This j-ear some of those who lost a year ago are again losers, but in most instances the storm belt was a little removed from the old belt and the losers this year ,as a rule, are those avIio escaped the destruc tive storm a year ago. Mr. Pittard said that he did not knoAv what Ihe farmers in this belt would do. The oat crop is not worth cutting and the corn is left stand ing in many instances witbont a single blade left on the stalks. Shot His Wife and Her Niece. Los Angeles, Special. W. F. Ke tring shot and probably fatally wounded his divorced wife and her niece, Miss Bessie O'Day, at the home of the former. Ketring had been separated from bis wife two years.
