ROOSEVELT PRAISES DIGGERSJF CANAL Continue) from Pago One. any enterprise that Is human.- It Is a Btupendous work, upon which our fel low-countrymen are engaged down there on the Isthmus, and while we should hold them to a strict account ability for the way In which they per form It, we should yet recognise, with frank generosity, the epic nature of the task on which they are engaged and 11s world-wide Importance. They are doing something which will redound Immeasurably to the credit of Amerl-* ra, which will benefit all the world, and which will last for ages to come. Un der Mr. Shonts and Mr. Stevens and Dr. Gorgaa this work has started with ' every omen of good fortune. _ .Are to Get Badges. "They and their worthy associates, from the highest to the lowest, are entitled to the same credit that we would give to the picked men of victorious army; for this conquest of peace will, In Its great and far-reach ing effect, stand as among the very greatest conquests, whether of peace or of war. which have ever been won by any of the people of mankind. A badge Is to be given to every Ameri can citizen who for a specified time has taken part In this work; for partici pation In It will hereafter be held to reflect honor upon the man participat ing, Just as It reflects honor upon a soldier to have belonged to a mighty array In a great- war for righteous ness. Our fellow-countrymen on the Isthmus are working for our Interest and for the national renown In the same spirit and with the same efficiency that the men of the army and navy work In time of war. It behooves us In our turn to do all we can to hold up their hands and to old them In' every way to bring their great work to a tri umphant conclusion." Fully 2,000 words of the message are taken up at Its beginning In telling In detail the movements of the presiden tial party while on the Isthmus. Ac cording to this bold recital of fact no cartoonist of that historical trip, no matter how wild and freakish his fan cy, has succeeded In doing this stren uous Jaunt Justice. They were on the go from 12 to 18 hours a day, rain or ahlne, day and night. The president saw everything, heard everySody, look, ed Into all the houses, public and pri vate, ate of everything, drank of everything. Of the new reservoir back of Mount Hope, built to supply water for Colon and Cristobal, he writes: "One of the most amusing (as well ss dishonest) attacks made upon the commission was In connection with this reservoir. The writer In question usu ally confined himself to vague general mendacity; but In this case he specific, ally stated that there was no water In the vicinity fit for a reservoir (I drank It, and It was excellent), and that this particular reservoir would never hold water, anyway. Accompanying this message, as I have said above. Is a photograph of the reservoir as I my self saw It, and as It has been In exist, ence ever since the article In question was published. With typical Ameri can humor, the engineering corps still at work at the reservoir have christen ed a large boat which Is now used on the reservoir by the name of the Indi vidual who thus denied the possibility of the reservoir’s existence. Too Many Barrooms. He notes that there seemed to be too many saloons In the zone. "But the new high license law which goes Into effect on January 1 next will probably close four-fifths of them. Resolute and successful efTorts are being. Made to minimize and control the sale of li quor.” Hy personal Inspection and personal experience he came to the conclusion that there was no cause for complaint about food. In detailing his experience he says: "The married men ate at home. The unmarried men sometimes ate at pri vate boarding houses or private messes, but more often. Judging by the answers of those whom I questioned, at the government canteens or hotels, where the meal costs 10 cents to each em ployee. This 30-cent meal struck me being as good a meal as we get In - 1 nlted States at the ordinary hotel m which a 50-cent meal Is provided, ■lire,-.fourth, 0 f the men whom I questioned stated that the meals fur- nlshfri , lt these government hotels were good, the remaining one-fourth 'h it they were not good. I myself took umm i at La Boca government hotel, n !' warning whatever having been given of my coming. There were two rooms, hh generally In these hotels. In one the employees were allowed to dine without their coats, while In the other ’h' V had to put them on. The 30-cent meal Included soup, native beer (which ■■'ns good), mashed potatoes, peas, r**t*. •'hill con came, plurli pudding, ’ ■ 1 ■ coffee—each man having as much "‘cooh dish as he desired. , '*n the table there wak a bottle of uqum quinine tonic, which two-thirds "f I he guests, as I was Informed, used ’' cry day. There were nent table and napkins. The men who "* re taking the meal at or about the same time Included railroad men. ma- ' "hosts, shipwrights and members of office force. The rooms were clean, 1 omfortable and airy with mosquito "' mens around the outer piazza. I was nronned by some of those present that ■nis hotel, and also the other similar hotels, were every Saturday nigh: turned Into club houses where the American officials, the school teachers and various employees appeared, bring ing their wives, there being dancing and singing. There was a piano In the room, which, I was Informed, was used for the music on these occasions. My meal was excellent, and two newspa per correspondents who had been In the Isthmus several days Informed me that It, was precisely like the meals they had been getting elsewhere at other government hotels. One of the em ployees was a cousin of the secret service man who was with me. and he stated that the meals had always been good, but that after a time he grew tired of them because they seemed so much alike.” As to Foreign Labor. A steady effort, he says, Is being made to secure Italian labor, and espe cially to procure more Spaniards. “It has not proved possible, how ever." he says, "to get them in any thing like the numbers needed for the work, and from present appearances we shall In the main have to rely for the ordinary unskilled work partly upon colored laborers from the West Indies and partly upon Chinese labor. It certainly ought to be unnecessary to point out that the American working man In the United States has no con cern whatever In the question as to whether the rough work on the Isth mus, which Is performed by aliens In any event. Is done by aliens from one country with a black skin or by aliens from another country with yellow skin. Our business Is to dig the canal as ef ficiently and as qi|lckly ns,possible; provided always that nothing Is done that Is inhumane to any laborer, and nothing that Interferes with the wages of or lowers the standard of living* of our own workman. Having in view this principle, I have arranged to try several thousand Chinese laborers. This is desirable both because we must try to And out whnt laborers are most ef ficient, and, furthermore, because we should not leave ourselves at the mercy of any one type of foreign labor. At present the great bulk of the unskilled labor on the Isthmus Is done by West India negroes, chiefly from Jamaica, Barbados and the other English pos sessions. One of the governors of the lands In question has shown an un friendly disposition to our work, and has thrown obstacles In the way of our getting the labor needed, and It Is highly-undesirable to give any outsid ers the Impression, however III founded, that they are Indispensable and can dictate terms to us.” Problems of Construction. In discussing the actual work of construction he says: ' "The work Is now going on with a vigor and efficiency pleasant to witness. The three big problems of the canal are La Boca dams, the Gatun dam and the Culebra cut. The Culebra cut must be .made anyhow; but, of poursc. changes as to the dams, or at least as to the locks adjacent the dams, may still occur. The La Boca dams offer no particular problem, the bottom ma terial being so good that there Is a practical certainty, not merely os to what can be achieved, but as to "the time of achievement. The Gatun dam offers tho most serious problem which we have to solve, and yet the ablest men on the Isthmus believe that this problem Is certain of solution along the lines proposed, although, of course, *lt necessitates great toll, energy and In telllgence, and although equally, o course, there will be some little risk In connection with the work. Tho risk arises from the fact that some of the material near the bottom Is not so good as could be desired. "If the huge earth dam now contem plated Is thrown across from one foot hill to the other we will have what Is practically n low, broad mountain ridge behind which will rise the Inland lake. This artificial mountain will probably show less seepage, that Is,- will have greater restraining capacity than the average natural mountain range. Tho exact location of the locks at this dam —as at the other dams—Is now being determined. In April next Secretary Taft, xvlth three of the ablest engineers of the country—Messrs. Noble, Stenrns and Hlpley—wiu visit the Isthmus, and the three engineers will make the flnnl and conclusive examinations of to the exact Bize for each lock. "Meanwhile the work Is going ahead without a break." Whirr of Big Slick. " speaks of honest critics and doubting Thomases as to be expected In connection xvlth a work of this mammoth proportion. Then the whirr of the big stick Is heard In this para graph; ••There remains nn Immense amount of as reckless slander ns has ever been published. Where the slanderers are of foreign origin, I have no concern with them. Where they are Ameri cans. I feel for them the heartiest contempt and Indlgnntlon; because, In a spirit of wanton dishonesty and mal ice. they are trying to Interfere with and hamper the execution nfthe great est xvork of the kind ever attempted, and arc seeking to bring to naught the efforts of their countrymen to put to the credit of America one of the giant feats of tho ages.

Special to The Georgian, Chattanooga, Tenn., Dec. 17.—Mrs. Carrie Nation, the joint smasher, left here for Johnson (Sty, Tenn., but she will go to Atlanta next week, where she will hold forth In the Tabernacle. Mrs. Nation has written Governor Beckham, of Kentucky, roasting .Brest dent Roosevelt because he refused to express his views on the tobacco and liquor traffic' In his last message, after having been requeated to by the United Mothers of the World, In session at Hartford, Conn. She asks Governor Beckham to have prohibition and i woman's suffrage plank In the Demo cratlc platform because she says It Is right and will Insure the election or a Democratic president In 1908. She claims that because Roosevelt refused to give his views on the tobacco and liquor questions, It means the death knell to the Republican party. Mrs. Nation held forth for the last time at the auditorium In thla city last night. Yesterday afternoon she spoke to a large audience of men only on the sub Ject of Impurity. Regardless of what the people may think or say about her, Mrs. Nation visits the raloons and with words sharper than a txvo-edged sword tells them that they ought to quit the busi ness. “Long Live France,” - Shout Members of Mob.

Nor was this precaution unnecessary. Led by radical Socialists and several republican members of the chamber of deputies, demonstrators made an af tempt to break through the cordon of troops, and xvhen they found they could not do ao, marched In mock pros cession. They carried candles and Intoned the miserere as an Indication of the death of clericalism. “Down With thq Vatican.” Cries of "Down with the Vatican,” ‘Long live Clemenceau,” and "Long live France” were heard on every side. Demonstrators friendly to France and to the number of several thousand, filled the streets and took part In the disorder. They gathered In thA plaza adjoining the Farneae palace, tho seat of the French embassy, and expressed their pleasure at the action of France In passing the law separating the church and state. Garrison Called Out Aa soon as It became clear that troU' ble was brewing, the entire garrison of Rome was called out to protect the Vat ican. The government made every en deavor to prevent the demonstration, and to atop It after It had been started. The French ambassador, M. Barerre. received a deputation from the demon strators, and to them he expressed his appreciation for the Sympathy dis played by the people of Rome. Prince Leads in Disorder. After this the disorder broke out afresh and the troops were ordered to charge and disperse the crowds. Some of the members of the crowd were In jured and others arrested. Prince Bor- ghese was a leading spirit In the dem onstration. OFFICER OF SCOUTS WEDS GIRL HE LEFT BEHIND HIM; A TEN YEARS’ COURTSHIP DOG WAS SENTINEL FOR BUND TIGER A romance which began neariy ten years ago when patriotic sons of the South were enlisting to fight for their country In Cuba, culminated In a mar riage Sunday night at the Kimball house when Miss Teresa O'Malley, of Columbus, Miss., and Lieutenant Jas. B. Hutcheson, of the Philippine Scouts, U. S. A„ xvero wedded by tho Rev. Lynn R. Walker, of the West End Presby terian church. It was when the first call to arms was sounded away back In 1898 that Lieutenant Hutcheson 'enlisted In the army to help throttle the poxver of Spain In the Queen of the Antilles. Troops were mobilized at Columbus, Miss., and It.xvas there that Lieutenant Hutcheson went from his home in Montgomery, Ala. He met Mlsa O'Malley and It was a case of love at first sight. But not for long did' the young soldier see his sweetheart. In a short time he was aboard a ship on his way to the trop ics. All through the Cuban campaign he fought and when he did return to this country It was only to be sent to Manila. There he soon made a name for himself and before long he re ceived a commission In the Philippine Scout*. A few times since he went to the far away possessions of Uncle Sam he came home, but not often. But with thousands of miles between them the young couple kept up their correspond ence. Their love did not grow cold and the lieutenant longed for the time when he would reach the states on a leave of absence. He arrived a fexv days ago from the Philippines and he then saw Miss O'Malley again for the first time In five years. When the marriage was decided upon Miss O'Malley was In Spartan burg, 8. C., on a visit. Lieutenant Hutcheson left Montgomery "ith party of friends and relatives. She left Spartanburg and on Sunday the two lovers met In Atlanta. Dr. Walker came from West End xvlth some of the lieutenant’s Atlanta relntlves and the next scene was en acted In the parlors of the Kimball house. The ceremony was performed at 6.30 o'clock, xvhlle the guests of the hotel xx-ere at dinner and while the two were being made one, the orchestra at tho hotel played Mendelssohn's xved- ding march. This music excited Inter est among the diners, but by the time an Investigation ivas made the couple hnd been married and ivere receiving the congratulations of their frlehds. In the party who witnessed the cer emony were; Mrs. Fries, of Montgom ery, a sister of the groom, and hi* brother. Elliott Hutcheson, of the same city; Alva Fitzpatrick, a well-known Montgomery newspaper man, together with Mrs. Fltxpatrlck, and their daugh ter, Miss Lizzie Fitzpatrick: Mr. and Mrs. James Campbell,’ of West End, Atlanta, nnd Lieutenant John J. Llpop and Mrs. Llpop. Lieutenant Llpop Is In charge of the United 8tates army re cruiting office (n Atlanta and he served through the Cuban and Philippine cam paigns with Lieutenant Hutcheaon.

When Mounted Follcemen Hollingsworth and Whatley Sunday afterifoon made a search nt the home of Ellen Lester, a negro woman, residing at 78 Chestnut ave nue, "Dnrktowo,” they unearthed one of the most unique blind tigers discovered In Atlantn In a long while. Satisfied that Ellen was conducting blind tiger, the two officers went through her house and made a minute search, but all to no avail. They then searched In the yard and under the house, oil with an equal lack of success. Finally, however, they walked Into a small coal house, In the rear of the yard, nnd here their seal waa rewarded. On the floor of the house lay a big Hhepherd dog, ns though a sentinel on guard. The sleuths nt once suspected something wrong, nud tried to Induce the dog to come out of the coal house. But the faithful animal would not budge. Tlie Lester woman waa then commanded to force the dog out of the house, which ahe did, declaring the police would flttd nothing wrong. Doffing their coats, the two officers then »et to work with n vim, and removed some of which had been piled In pi boxes and other rubbish. The removal of the flooring revealed an tnten-stlng sight. Underneath was found a receptacle, dug In the earth. about 5 feet long and 2 feet wide.
