held on Pier 11. Cristobal. \V\ (1.
Blerd. general manager of the Pan

Stevens In a speech modestly gave
John F. Wallace, whom he super
seded as chief engineer, the crisllt

modified only when necessary. He
said the preparations deemed nec
essary two years ago wero under
estimated, and. though the working
forces had since been doubled, they
were still inadequate. But now, he
declared, the machinery had been
completed; homes had been provided
for 250,000 persons; there were rail
road facilities for handling over a
million yards of earth monthly, and
the organization was so advanced
that It was possible to carry on the
work In both dry and wet seasons

and was leaving it of his own voli

his loyal friends not to take their
complaints to Washington, but to
make them to MaJ. Goethals, the
new chairman of the Canal Commis

a me loyalty ns had been given him.
