Atlanta, January 19.—Governor Slaton spenK the week-end at Macon to attend the funeral of Colonel Pen dleton, editor of the Macon Telegraph, for -whom he had a high personal re gard which dated back over many years. \ The governor is expected to be at work in his office some time^pday, and one of the first thing^he will have to consider this week will be the wrangle between Adjutant Gen eral Van Holt Nash and Quartermas ter General Obear. This question w-ould probably have been decided by the governor some time ago, but a number of impreative things have intervened. Week before last his consideration of it was in terrupted by the threatened lynching which he handled by bringing the three threatened negroes to Atlanta viefced and sentenced to hang. Last week the governor had two pe titions of men sentenced U> bang, to consider, one of which, that of* T. B. Hall, who was alleged to be insane, required considerable study and inves tigation. This week, however, it is believed that the governor will have a clearer deck, and that some final decision may be reached over the Nash-Obear row.

To Clarify Atmosphere Concerning Corporations Washington, D. C., January 19.— The administration Intends chiefly through its trust program to “facili tate the processes of accommodation” as contrasted with “processes of suit,” the president announced today.

CANAL COST NEARLY 400,000,000 The completion of the Panama Ca nal will represent the outlay by Uncle Sam of $375,000,000—a greater amount of money than wa3 ever spent on any one public work in history. It is a remarkable fact that the French, who failed in the same pro ject, spent nearly as much—about $300,000,000. The cost of the Amer ican canal includes y40,000,000 pa.d to the French for what they had left on the Isthmus. That it was not wasted is proved hy an inventory showing that the excavation accom plished, which could be utilized for the American canal, and the machin ery left on the Isthmus were worth more than $42,000,000. The story of the French failure is only less interesting than the story of the American success, at Panama. Both are told conciaely and in a most interesting way in “The Panama Ca nal,” by Frederick J. Haskin, which The Athens Herald is now distribut ing to its readers at the cost of main- farYure.
