TAFT SAILS NOV. 10
Reconsiders Plans Regarding
Visit to Panama When
Goethals Insists.
TO SPEND 12 DAYS ON TRI
Problems in Connection With the
Great Waterways Are Pressing
for a Settlement.
Beverly,
Mass., Oct. 14. Presi
dent Taft will sail for the Isthmus of
Panama Nov. 10 from Charleston,
S. C. He will make the trip on the
armored cruiser North Carolina and
will be conveyed by the sister ship'
the Montana. These are the same
vessels used by Mr. Taft In his Pan
ama trip just before his Inaugura
tion. The president will be gone
about 12 days. The North Caro
lina and Montana can make the jour.
ney in each direction in four days.
This will give Mr. Taft about four
days on the isthmus.
, TJrsred for Goethals. .
The president had practically giv
en up all idea of visiting the canal
this year until Colonel George W,
Goethals, chief engineer on the canal
spent two hoars with him yesterday
afternoon. At the end of that time
Mr. Taft had been convinced that
the problems confronting the of
ficials at Panama required bis pres
ence on the isthmus. Although his
visit will be a flying one, the presi
dent expects to be able to secure
first hand information on a number
of matters which he will call upon
congress to' deal with at its session
Problem to Be Met.
Some of the problems to be dealt
with in the immediate future are as
follows :
The intent and character of the
fortifications, the fixing of tolls for
the passage of vessels through the
canal, a proposed increase in wages,
the future management of the Pan
ama railroad, the form of perma
nent government for the canal zone
and the regulation of the sale of
coal at the terminus points. The
government may go into the business
of selling, coal Itself in order to pre
vent the possibility of extortion or
monopoly.
Presn for Settlement.
Mr. Taft thought that several of
these questions would not require
settlement for a year or more, but
Colonel Goethals put matters in
different light. The question of
tolls, which it was thought could
wait until the canal is much nearer
completion, was explained by Col
onel Goethals to be one of the most
pressing for congress to meet. The
canal must be made to attract ship
ping and at the same time, an effort
will be made to have 4he toll charges
meet the Interest on the $400,000
000 investment which the canal will
represent.

ISLAND ROAD DEAD
Warren G. Purdy, Long in 111 Health

lines of the country and he advanced

to Illinois and worked for the old

red his allegiance to the Chicago, Rock

dent in 1898. He retired in 1901. A
few years before he had been injured
in a railroad accident. It was Mr,
Purdy's boast that during the whole of
his long service with the Rock Island
he had taken vacations aggregating
only three months. He was succeed
ed by William B. Leeds, the tin plate
magnate.
Mr. Purdy Is survived by four chil
dren: William A. Purdy, who lives in
Honolulu; Warren F. Purdy, comman
der of the Illinois Naval Reserves;
Ella F. Purdy and Mrs. F. W. Long-
mire, both of Chicago. The funeral
will be held Saturday afternoon from
St. Paul's Episcopal church, Madison

SOUNDS WARNING
Bryan Says Roosevelt's New
Nationalism Is Revival of
Hamilton Docirines.
HOLDS VIEWS DANGEROUS
More Power for President Would En
croach Upon Representative
Government.
Lincoln, Neb., Oct. 14. Denounc
ing Theodore Roosevelt's "new na
tionalism" as an apparent attempt
to revive the centralization doctrine
of Alexander Hamilton, W. J. Bry
an, in the forthcoming issue of his
paper says Mr. Roosevelt will have
a hard time convincing the -people
there la any merit In his advocacy
of less power for the states and more
for the federal government.
"Mr. Roosevelt will find," says Mr.
Bryan, "that even In New York the
convention over which he presided
was careful to safeguard the inter
ests of the states. But ft Is prob
able that he had in mind the na
tional incorporation of railroads,
which he has urged and the national
Incorporation of Industrial enter
prises, which both he and President
Taft favor. The purpose of national
incorporation is not to increase na
tional supervisor, but to leave the In
corporation to state supervision."
Doctria la Du(rron.
Deprecating Mr. Roosevelt's claim
fcf more power for the national exec
utive as the steward of the public
welfare, Mr. Bryan adds:
"If Mr. Roosevelt means that
while other departments of govern
ment are to be representative, the
executive department Is to exercise
a fatherly Interest and act Independ
ently of the wishes of the people, tut 1
for their good, of course, he Is ad
vancing a doctrine that la as danger-'
ous as it Is strange to our people.
