Bo* B Atlanta, ®P PLAN OPPOSED BY STEVENS Chief Engineer Will Resign if Canal Contract is Given Out, REVERSES HIS OPINION Threat Places Administration in Un pleasant Situation and Delays Final Decision in Matter. A Washington special says: The Administration has been brought face to face with the alternative of reject ing all bids for the construction of the Panama canal by contract or los ing the services of Chief Engineer John F. Stevens. This is the reason for the delay of President Roosevelt, Secretary Taft and Chairman Shonis of the canal commission in acting on the Oliver bid. An effort has been made to get Mr. Stevens to cliange his mind, but he has continued ob durate arid the indications are that the administration will accede to his request and the construction of the canal will be continued by the gov ernment. / This information in regard to the position taken by Mr. Stevens domes from a source that cannot be doubted, but'it has created some surprise on account of the testimony given by Mr. Stevens before the senate committee on interocemiic canals a year ago. lie men said he favored building the ca nal by contract. lils friends have advised him that if a contract is let for construction he will be robbed of the credit of build ing this great waterway. Frequent ex changes of cablegrams between Wash ington and the Isthmus have resulted' In a demand by Mr. Stevens for the acceptance of his resignation if the contract is awarded. It is asserted by certain senators who have taken an unusual interest in all matters relating to the canal that If one of the bids for the canal con struction is accepted it will mean that the administration has determined to dispense with Mr. Stevens as the di rector of the canal construction. Secretary Taft had a conference on Thursday with the president regard ing the Panama canal contract for the purpose of determining on a eourse of procedure. The president and sec retary have before them the complet ed bid of W. J. Oliver and his asso ciates. Secretary Taft said he be lieved an early decision should b reached in justice to the people who have their money tied up as securi ties. After the conference between the president and Secretary Taft, Secre tary Loeb gave out the following statement: “The bid of the Oliver-McDonald- Pierce combination has been received and examined and meets the formal requirements. Mr. Paul D. Cravath, on behalf of his clients, the McArthur- Gillespie combination, has requested a hearing before final action is taken. In addition to granting this hearing, the secretary of war and the isthmian canal commission will make as thor ough examination as possible into the qualifications, experience, business standing and achievements of Mr Oliver and his associates and into the responsibility of the sureties. Secre tary Taft and the commission will pro&ably need a fortnight to complete a full examination of the bid and re port to the president.” Secretary Taft later in the day made known to Mr. Oliver the result of his talk with the president and framed a letter to Judge O'Brien, Mr. Oliver’s counsel, informing him just how the matter stood. This letter stated, among other things, that the president was very much inclined to give the contract to Mr. Oliver and his associates, but that he would not surrender his right to reject all bids, even after the further hearing has been given to the McArthur-Gillespie I combination.

Professor Gallaudet, who has done t bo much toward educating deaf mutes, tells this story: One of the profes sor’s favorite pupils, an unusually precocious child, was asked by his teacher if he knew the story of George Washington and the cherry tree. With his Angers the youngster repeated the tals without a break, until he came to the point 'where the elder Wash ington question his son. “When George’s father asked him who hack ed his favorite cherry tree,” con tinued the child, moving his signall ing fingers almost as rapily as some persons move their tongues, “George put his hatchet in his left hand —” “Wait a moment,” said the professor; “how do you know that he took the hatchet in his left hand?” “Because,” answered the boy, “he needed his right to tell his father that he had chopped the tree.” HIS WAY.
