proposed to complete tho construction
of tho Panama canal for G.75 per cent
of tho total estimated cost, insofar as
Anson N. Bangs of Now York City is

given tho contract for tho construc

represented at tho conference, loads
many of the Interested parties to be
lieve thai a combination may be
formod between that firm and Mr.
Oliver."

An Associated Press dispatch from
Havana follows: "A commission ap
pointed by the government has turned
in a report to the effect that Dr. Matias
Duque, who is in charge of the hos
pital for contagious diseases, has prob
ably discovered a euro for leprosy. Two
lepers were turned over to the doctors
several years ago for experimental
purposes and today these persons have
no exterior traces of the disease.
Dr. Duque's experiments have been
along the line of what he terms "the
red mangrove tree" treatment. He
claims to have discovered this treat
ment as a result of his study to find
a cure for his sister, who suffered
from leprosy, and whom he has suc
ceeded in curing.
Former Assemblyman Holman of
New Jersey made affidavit, claiming
that five years ago he was approached
by Thomas Palmer and offered $5,000
to vote for John F. Dryden for United
States senator, and that when he re
fused the offer was increased to $10,
000. Senator Dryden denies any ac
quaintance with Palmer, who is, now
dead. Dryden says no one was autho
rized to make any such offer for him.
