tsstel for doing In roal life.—Chicago News
Augusta, aa.. May »#.—That the
construction of the Panama canal will
yet have to be done by contractors and
that he himself will have a hand In
digging the big ditch, la tba prediction
of WilUatu J. Oliver In an Interview
here today.
"I expect that the neit congress."
*ald he, “will be called upon to make
legislation on the matter. When this Is
done I will bo on hand with a better
proposition than I made before."
Referring to the government’! ap.
parent bad faith with him. he said:
"Root, Thp gum-shoe man of the cab
Inet' won responsible for my throw
down. He stands In with' Ryan Inter
ests, which were backing the other
crowd. After he saw that his friends
were out of If under the conditions
the bid. he was determined that
should not have It. What Root says
goes In the cabinet.
"I received a stralghtout proposition
to do certain things which I did to the
letter. The goods should have been
delivered to me when I made good,
However, It was Intended that the con.
tract should go to the interests,' and
when they saw they could not get
around my bid, they set me an Impos
sible task, as they saw It. This was to
raise 88,000.000 In ten days and asso
ciate with me two contractors of equal
standing. This I did. John B. y
Donald, who headed our company,
the greatest contractor the world ever
eatv."
Referring to the part Engineer Ste
ven* played In the loss of the con
tract, Mr. Oliver said:
"As a matter of fact, when he stated
that he would not remain on the work
If I got the contract, the president told
him to go. You can state positively for
me, on unquestionable authority, that
Stevens did not resign, but was fired.
His Interest In the matter was to pro
tect the other crowd.”
Mr. Oliver came here to bid on the
construction of the connecting links of
the Georgia and Florida railroad,
"When thin line Is completed,'
said, "It will largely solve the problem
Involved In the big suits now before the
Interstate.commerce commission In the
matter of rate* from the South to
Oriental ports. All the cotton goods
and other freight that must cross the
Pacific will go over this line and
through the Panama canal when It Is
flnlehed.”

TO THE PUBLIC
AN OPEN LETTER
FOURTEEN of the thirty-one per
sons killed In the wreck of the Mystic
Shrlners' special train at Honda, Cal..
on Saturday, May 11, were Insured
against accident* In the Aetna Life In.
surnnee Company, of Hartford, Conn.
This Involves a loss of 8110.500, which is
the largest loss ever Incurred by a
company under accident policies In any
one disaster.
The total amount which the Aetna
Life, had at risk on tits lives of pas
senger* on this train waa at least 8154,-
000, but of those Insured with tho Com
pany other than the fourteen killed only-
one Is reported severely Injured.
The amount* payable for deaths In
this wreck are all DOUBLE THE
AMOUNTS INSURED, and In FOUR
cases they are TRIPLE THE
AMOUNTS INSURED through tbc fact
that the BENEFICIARIES were killed
In the same disaster. This emphasises
most strongly the enlarged scope of
accident Insurance protection ss fur
nished by the Aetna Life.
The fact that nearly ONE-HALF OF
ALL WHO WERE KILLED carried
their accident Insurance In the AETNA
LIFE IsjULrlklng evidence of the con
fidence reposed In the Company by the
Insuring public, and that confidence Is
wisely so placed. It Is only a LARGE
COMPANY LIKE THE AETNA LIKE
thnt call withstand such a cnlamlty oh
this. If all of the persona killed nnd
Injured In this wreck had been Insured
In the Aetna Life, the resultant claims
would lie paid Immediately on .receipt
of proof of death and without hi til*
■lightest degree Impairing the strength
of .the Company. The Aetna Life fur
nishes absolute protection to those In
sured In It.
The above Is another evidence of the
prompt attention shown by the Aetna
Life, which Is so efficiently represented
In Atlanta by Mr. Charles C. Thom, 401
Equitable building. Reader, be prudent,
Insure now with him. , •••
