It was | reported to the Secretary that the com- | pany now employs 160 engineers, 45 physi- | cians and about 15K laborers on the canal | Five thousand doilars a day is a_modest estimate of what the United Stdtes will | be expected to pay the canal company for | continuing this work and it is now sug- payments may date back | gested that the to the last report of the Canal Commis- | sion | Admiral Walker's estimate off the num- ber of men to be employed on the Pan- | ama canal when the United States form- v shall have entered upon the project 0,00.

As they are inured to the Cen- American climate, th do not suffer seriously from the disease prevalent on the isthmus.

Admiral Belknap was the inventor of three cylinder cups for bringing up specimens of soil from ocean beds, now in use by the United States Govern- ment. He was senior officer present at Honolulu when the riot occurred on the election of Kalakaua King of the Ha- waiian Islands and. assisted in having the new Government firmly established, | for which act he was warmly thanked by | the King. In 1889 he was promoted to rear admiral and for two years coin- manded the Asiatic squadron. He was retired in 1884, OF INTEREST TO PEOPLE OF THE PACIFIC COAST Several Additional Postal Stations Are to Be Established in Ala- meda County.

SONORA, April 7.—Three men escaped fatal injuries at the John Royal mine near Columbia yesterday. The skip got away from the engineer and went crash- ing to the bottom of the 150-foot shaft. The men heard it breaking through the platform at the 100-foot level and closely hugged the shaft. The runaway skip struck Superintendent W. 8. Phipps, Fore- man A. Baier and Ed Christy. All were badly cut and bruised and Christy sus- tained a fracture of the shoulder blade. AL Sk COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo., April 7.— Judge James A.

Packwood is lying at his home mortally wounded and Morss Is confined in a cell in the county jail awaiting the result of the shooting. The two men are brothers-in-law ar have been engaged in the painting busi ness for the past year. They became en- advisability of joining the union and after an excited exchange of words Morss struck Packwood, knocking him down. The latter, threatening to kill his brother- in-law, rushed into the house and pro- cured a rifle, while Morss secured a shot- gun. They met a few minutes later and the duel began, Packwood falling with a charge of shot in the head. Morss, who was uninjured, called a phy- siclan to care for the man he had shot and surrendered himself to thé Sheriff, The men with their families came to San- ta Barbara from Santa Cruz a year ago.

BUFFALO, April 7.—The fact that Ar- thur R. Pennell, the Burdick murder sus- pect who with his wife was killed in an automobile soon after the murder, was an embezzler has been known to the author- ities for some time. District Attorney Coatsworth said to-day that he had known of the alleged swindling operations ot Pennell for a week. “I was informed,” he said, “that Pen- nell had been inducing his wife’s family and friends in Wayne to allow him to “nvest’ their money for them. I was also informed that he gave them fake mort- gages on property and kept up the inter- est payments in order ta cover his dis- honest transactions. I have not investi- gated the report In detail, but it came to me on such good authority that I am satisfied of its’ general truth.” Will you go into the matter of Pen- nell's operations at the inquest?” he was ed. “In one sense,” replied the District At- torney, “but as a general proposition his swindling operations have no particular connection with the Burdick and Pennell | inquests. In another sense I shall go into the private affairs of Pennell. policy in the Pennell inquest will be bring to light every scintalla of evi- c¢ence which will or may throw light on the murder of Edwin L. Burdick. The in- quest will not be in reality to determine how Arthur Pennell came to his death. It is not of any great importance to know whether he committed suicide or not, but | it is of the utmost importance to discover | the murderer of E. L. Burdick.” ““Then you do not consider that the Bur- dick case was closed with the Burdick in- quest?” Mr. Coatsworth was asked. “By no means,” was the reply. “I have never considered the Burdick case as be- ing closed.” “Do you consider that the revelations just made concerning Pennell's alleged | swindles substantiate the verdict in the Burdick case, pointing to Pennell as the | murderer?” ““Yes. It is impossible to arrive at & other conclusion.” | There is likely to be a bitter fight at the | Pennell inquest over the authority of the | court to compel the administrator anc his attorney to testify and produce the | dead man's papers. It Is asserted on one side that the inquest is for the exclusive purpose of establishing the cause of death | and to prove a crime if there was one. It is said that the court will have no right | - .

"ol "ina Aret quarter nell within a year to the amount of $3i.- | o "¢ Grie 000, announced to-day that the insurance | cape would not be paid until after the Penncll inquest, and that it might not be pald | then. Pennell altogether had taken out insur- | ance to the amount of $100,000 in the | Equitable. The company paid $5,000 of | that amount to the estate. The $45,000 which is now refused was taken out with- ir a year, and therefore comes under the one-year suicide clause. It is very likely that Mrs. Burdick will have to make a hard fight before she ob- tains the $25,000 life insurance which Pen- nell arranged to have pald to Wallace to 1s decla | that the trust is not valid for the reaso: that no bond or other security for it eve establis be compelled under the law the validity of the trust.
