Governor Metcalfe’s Personal
Organ Prints Administration
Policy, and Panama Seethes
With Sensation Thus Created,
Officials Have Trouble in Keeping
Up High Standard of Discipline
as Work Nears End, Because
the Article Breeds Disaffection,
By WILLIAM HOSTER.
Special Cable to The American.
PANAMA, Dec. 13.—A sensation
created by the publication in The
fitar-Herald, Governor Metcalfe’s per
sonal organ, of what purports to be
an outline of the Administration’s
policy in regard to the canal, shows
no signs of diminution. This verifies
recent dispatches to the effect that
practical politics are dominating the
management of the canal.
The article says:
"It is ridiculous to suppose that with
all the pressure for patronage being
brought to bear on him. President
Wilson will not use the forthcoming
canal organization as a means for
reciprocating as far as possible the
assistance of constituents who helped
to place him where he is.
Will Not Kill the ‘•Goose."
"It would be nonsensical to assume
that a fur sixteen years' absence from
power {he Democratic party is going
to kill the goose—the Isthmus—which
oils been laying the golden eggs.”
What excites the greatest com
mem. however, is the following sen-
’tehoe from the article:
■ The fact that several officials are
not in accord with the policies of the
present Administration Is well known
in Washington. Their recall may bo
.several months distant, or it may be
to-morrow; but it Is nevertheless com
ing.”
The article is generally taken to be
Metcalfe's roply to the charges of po
litical influence m the Canal Zone.
The American's correspondent has
learned definitely that no news dis
patch has been received here outlin
ing Wilson’s policy. It is known that
Metcalfe Is In dally telephone commu
nication with the editors of the paper.
Army Officer* Roused.
Canal officers are deeply stirred by
the article, especially by the refer
ence to army officers. The fact is
that Commissioners Slbert. Gorgas
and the late Colonel Galllard and
Judson have ranked as Democrats.
The polities of Commissioners Goe-
thals Ijtosseau and Hodges are not
known No Inquiry* was made as to
the politics of anybody here until the
arrival of Mr. Metcalfe. In his own
department of civil administration
last November a poll showed 4 Taft.
7 Debs, 23 Roosevelt and 27 Wilson
men.
One of the Commissioners said to
The American correspondent to-day:
"It is unjust to say that we are not
In accord with the Administration
policy when the Administration has
hot announced any policy. Congress
has passed a law providing for reor
ganisation. We must presume that
law* will be the guiding principle of
the Administration, and are awaiting
orders \o put It Into operation. We
arc In accord with it.
Call Metcalfe “Meddlesome."
“Mr, Metcalfe is the only man who
is not. Ills meddlesome proposal of a
ne^v form of organization after three
months Is what caused all the muss."
A significant fact of the situation
Is that not a single official on the
Zone has denied the truth of The
American dispatches, although Secre
tary Garrison has been able at all
times to command statements to In
duce them to deny the truth of these
dispatches, This reflects the general
trend of the situation.
There Is more confusion here than
ever as a result of this publication.
It Is difficult to maintain discipline.
All thought of organization has been
abandoned and all thought of select
ing an operating force—and the finish
of the canal Is In sight.
Col. O’Leary Quits
The First Regiment
SAVANNAH, Dec. 13.—In the retire
ment from the National Guard to-day
of Colonel M. J. O’Leary, commander
' of the First Regiment, the State loses
the services ot one of its most efficient I
military men. Colonel O’Leary went ]
Into the military service In 187 and had
served almost continuously.
When the street railway men struck
4 at Augusta last year Governor Brown
called upon Colonel O’Leary to take
command of the troops and place the
'city under martial law. He not only ,
prevented several riots, but was largely
responsible for the amicable adjust
ment of the differences between the
company and its men.
Colonel O’Leary will be succeeded by
Lieutenant Colonel John G. Butler, who
hri served under him for a number of
years.

Cone’s-500 Boxes of Initialed 50c Stationery, 37c-Cone s
It is Berlin’s make, than which there is no finer. And let us say that we
looked long and far before we finally decided that this was the best value that
50c could buy. For this week this best 50c stationery is 39c a box.
Look at it, feel the tine linen surface, notice that the envelopes are those
that the woman of refinement would choose and the initial, gold leaf letters,
heavy, put on by hand-worked steel die process. And the additional care that h
as been taken, shows very plainly—Colonial letter's.
The boxes contain one quire of paper and two dozen envelopes, or two dozen
All initials, to begin with cards and envelopes—all initials, to be
gin with—a condition that will hardlv last long—Berlin’s Best 50c Stationery,
39c.
A Correction
There is an error in this
month's The Cone Service that
we hasten to correct.
No. 401, Tie Fold, is priced at
|2.50 This should be $5.00.
One of those errors .that no one
knows how to account for.
However, it is not hard to un
derstand that this fine sealskin
Tie Fold, lined with heavy cord
ed silk, having a cushion for
stick pins and a pocket for collar
buttons, should be $5.00 and not
$2.50.

The Flowers of France in These Perfumes
for Milady’s Christmas
There are some things we accept as wthoritative and final. Among them must
be listed the perfumes that bear such names as Coty, Kigaud, Houbigant, Roger &
Gallet—and perhaps a half dozen or so more.
They have excelleed- they have succeeded in giving to the world as no others
have, the true odors of French flowers.
They are here for milady’s Christmas in bottles and boxes that only the artistic
French would ever conceive. . . .
A daintier, a more pleasure-giving gilt would be hard to imagine. For the
woman who does hot "love" the fine delicacy and the purity and fragrance of sueli
superior perfumes is a very unusual woman.
Win you see this display? Will you let us lay before you the masterpieces of the
world’s finest laboratories? These aiv but a few of them:
Coty's L’Origan Odor Set, two bottles of
extract, four sachets, one full package of face

Which, we are told, is the most elegant in the city—we planned with that idea
in mind when collecting it. So those who would give stationery (what could
be more useful at the Christmas season?) will hud the kinds that are correct,
that the “etiquette” of stationery would demand.
The prettiest gift boxes are those hand-painted by the Japanese, beautiful
ly done, artistic, worthy of the quality of stationery the boxes contain. The
price range is $1.00 to $10.00, with great varieties at almost any in-between
prices.

Dependable Leather Goods to Give
Gifts in leather will always he popular. There is perhaps
no product made that wears as well as leather considering the
service required. For that reason we are particular to cam-
leather goods of standard makes. The temptation to buy
leather lines for show is great. They look very much like the
best, cost less and sell easily at Christmas time. The trick is
cutting the leather thin and.making two pieces whree one ex
isted before.
Of course the finished product, is inferior. You have confi
dence in our stores. Wepropose to strengthen that confidence
by offering you in season and out dependable merchandise.
Herewith are a few numbers out of a hundred and fifty in our
stock all useful and serviceable as low as 25c and on upward
