Oct. 27.-Setretary Taft and his party started on their Panama trip tonight, leaving here at 6:30 o'clock by boat tor Norfolk, he will transfer to the United States cruiser Columbia at Old Point at T clock tomorrow morning. Mr. Taft was overwhelmed with work up to the time of uls departure. In the forenoon he went uver the estimated expenditures of the anal commission since January 1. It Is laid the purchase of the new plant to build the canal will be completed by January or February. Sccieiary Taft will make a compre hensive personal investigation of conditions it Parama and Inform himself at first 'land of the needs of the canal to be pre mated to congress. He will hare a per sonal interview with Governor Charles JS. Maroon and will consult with Chief En Stneeer 8tevens to sain Information which cannot be adequately presented In written reports. K number of officials connected with the Taft fortification board will ac company Secretary Taft to secure prelim inary information as to the need of forti fications at the terminals of the canal. The party consists of Secretary Taft, General John P. Story, Colonel Clarence R. Edwards. Lieutenant Colonel William Hlack, Major . George W. Qoethals and Lieutenant Mark Brooke, the last three MOTHER AND CHILD. Let the mother take Scott's Emulsion for the two; it never fails to benefit them both. One can eat for two, but nour ishing two is a different thing. It calls for a de gree of internal strength that the average woman lacks. People of luxury' are not very strong by habit; overworked people are weak in some func tions from exhaustion or their surroundings. Scott's Emulsion can be depend ed upon to overcome such conditions. It is a won derful food for a mother and child. SCOTT OWMI, 4 pvl V Yerh. officers named being of the corps of en gineers. Colonel Black and Lieutenant Brooke were In Panama at the time of the transfer of the property from the Frencn company to the United States. Colonel Ed wards Is chief of the Insular bureau, through which the administrative affaire of the canal have been transacted. W. W.

Secretary Taft. at the earnest request of officials of Panama and the United States, has timed his visit so as to be In Panama November 3, the second anniversary of the Independence of the republic of Panama.

Mr. Taft expects to remain en the isthmus a week or ten days, 'and will return to Washington by November IS. Te Inspect Atlantic Defenses. Members of the Taft rortincation board who do not accompany the secretary of war to Panama have arranged for a trip of Investigation to Include the entire Atlan tic coast from NarragansAtt In Rhode Is land to Galveston Tex. These officers have already made an Investigation of the coast from the Canadian boundary to Narragan sett. and the contemplated tour will afford them an opportunity to ascertain what Is necessary In the way of additional fortifica tions for the remainder of the Atlantic : coast, so that a complete report can be made for the use of congress. The officers will travel mostly by rail, but will use such vessels as are available along the coast to take them from point to point, necessary for their Investigation. Estimate for Army Expenses. Becretary Taft has transmitted to the treasury department his estimates of the appropriations for the War department for 1307. These aggregate I104.98S.287.T5 being 3.7n.22.52 less that the total appropria tions made by congress for the use of the War department for the current fiscal year ending June SO, ions. The amount estimated as necessary for the military establishment, which embraces the cost of maintenance of the army and of the military academy at West Point Is 70,. 170.71 being i"!39,7S1 less than the appropria tion the present yt-ar and II, 591.437 less than the estimates mads a year ago. . Under the head of public works, military and civil, which Includes the construction of seacoast fortifications, military posts, etc., and the Improvement of rivers and harbors, of various national parks through out the country and of certain public build ings and grounds In and around Washing ton the estimates call for appropriations amounting In the aggregate to fr7.01t.129 W for the fiscal year ending June 10, 1907, as compared with t3S.S92.MS.25, which is the amount of current appropriations for similar appropriations. This is a reduction of t.67I,414.I7. The estimates submitted for the civil establishments which includes the pay of the clerical force, rent of buildings and other running expenses of the department In Washington are 11.670.074. This Is an In crease of 11,310, the current appropriations under this head aggregating S1.SCS.76S, . The amounts estimated for miscellaneous objects aggregate S6.931.341, a net decrease of S3.AM.27 from the appropriations for the current fiscal year. Under this bead Is Included the nutlmste for the National home for disabled volun teer soldiers, which Is submitted by the secretary of war as required by law. The War department, however, has no super vision over the expenditure of these funds and no right to change the estimate. The estimates submitted by the board of managers of the National home for dis abled volunteer souldlers are S220.585 In ex cess of present appropriations for the home. Cortelyon Talks to Postmasters. The convention of National league post masters of the fourth class offices of the United States came to an end this after noon when the delegates ere received by Postmaster General Cortelyou. After wel coming them Mr. Cortelyou made an ad dress, in which he reiterated the attitude of the Postofflce department to organisa tions within its ranks, and discussed con templated changes In organisation and administration methods. He pointed out that organizations within the department to receive its sanction in any degree, must : have their object improvements In the ser vice or be of a purely fraternal or bene ficial character, and that he recognized every employe as an Individual to be ap pointed, advanced, transferred and in all respects treated upon merit. The postmas ter general said: In April last, the prencnt policy of the department regarding fourth class offices was announced, namely, that incumbents will be retained during satisfactory ser vices. This is being adhered to strictly, and I am confident that a continued adher ence to It will result In substantial improvement. The department has carefully considered ' a number of changes In organization and administration which we believe will be beneficial. Among other things, we expect to reduce rather than Increase the number of instructions sent to you. We thall en- , deavor to simplify the blanks you use. We shall exact of you system in the conduct of your offices, but a system that Is busi nesslike and freed as rapidly as possible from unnecessary detail. We shall innist that every postofflce shall be kept clean, that Us records shall be ready for inspec tion at any time, that the nustmusters and employes shall be attentive to their duties apd courteous to the public. Pnblle Printer's f nareeM Ions. Acting Public Printer Rlcketts today nnd s several suggestions for the saving of money to the government In its public printing to the Joint committee on printing of the senate and house of representatives. A volume of 4S0 pages was exhibited by Mr. Rlcketts, being one of twenty-four such volumes Issued annually by the patent office and containing pictures and descriptions of patents Issued. It was the belief of Ml. Rlcketts that $100,000 a year might be saved In the patent office printing alone by a condensation of the subject matter alpnj. He also ventured the Information that the $400 annual requisition for franked envel opes for members of the s-nate and house was more than the actual requirement. By reason of the wages of the employes of the government bindery being 25 per cent higher than In commercial offices, Mr. Rlcketts was of the opinion that much of the binding done for the government could be done putslde with a great saving to the government. Mr. Rlcketts expressed the opinion that 20 per rent of the present cost of composition Is due to correction In proofs, which ex pense he showed could be saved by more careful editing before sending copy to ths printer. Representative Landls, chairman of the commission, took occasion during the hear ing to say that he thought that 'vanity" Is In a measure responsible for the Immense amount of printing turned out by the print ing office. The proportion was, he thought, largely dependent upon the prominence of the author's names on the title pages. No Discrimination Against Sailors. Secretary Bonaparte has directed the dis missal of an employe of the Norfolk navy yard as a result uf a 00m plaint which came to the department that tha employe, after having agreed to leu two rooms of his house to a macbloljit's mat serving with the reserve torpedo flotilla, refused to carry out the agreement because It would be necessary for the machinist's mate to come to his residence dressed In the tfniform of a petty officer of the United States navy. The employe. It has been explained to the department, said that neither he nor his wife had any objection to the uniform, but owing to the prejudice which existed in tin town of Berkeley against sailors, he felt It due to his family In order to maintain their position In the town, that he should refuse to allow a sailor to reside In his house. Wallace Meets t'nnnl Englnern. Former Chief Engineer John Flndlay Wallace of the Panama canal commission was present toc7ay at the meeting of the board of consulting engineers which is con sidering the question of recommending a sea level or a lock canal. The board Is anxious to obtain Mr.f Wallace's views about various features of prospective canal work, particularly his opinion as to the time which will be required in Installing adequate machinery to get at the maximum output of earth at the Culebra cut and what that amount will be. fEMPERANCE WOMEN MEET National Convention Opens Its Annual Sess.oi a: Los Angeles.

A ntw smJ hnndsom! Illus trntotf St4cls Bk aont freo WALTER BAKER & CO. Ltd. DORCHESTER, MASS. LOS ANGELES. Cal., Oct. J7.-The first day s session of the thirty-second annual convention of the National Woman's Christian Temperance union was devoted to routine matters. Devotional exorcises, the appointment of committees, and the hearing of reports by the executive officials of the organization occupied almost the entire morning and afternoon sessions. The feature of the first session was the annual address of the president, Mrs. Lillian M. Stevens of Maine. Mrs. Stevens' address recited the work of the Woman's Christian Temporance union during the last year, commented uponMhe various legislative measures the organization Is urging, both In state legis latures and In the national legislatures, and spoke very encouragingly of tho future growth of the temperance movement. Address of Mrs. Stevens. In her annual address, Mrs. Stevens re viewed the developments of the past year and saw much reason for encouragement. Upon the subject of reform bills Intro duced In the last congress and which were acted upon said: At mention of there is before 5-ou vis ions of petitions you have circulated, mem ories of weary milts you have traveled, rebuffs you have endured, arguments you have presented, delays and poHtponeinents. but no memories of defeat, for you have wrought with a triumphant spirit, and the same spirit is ours today as we look for ward to the coming months. Mr). Stevens was positive in her attitude against the re-establishment of the army canteen. She read letters from Secretary of War Taft and ethers, showing that army officers as a rule, claim there Is more drunkenness among enlisted men since the canteen haa been abolished than before, but she Insisted that no statistics have been complied to support their position. The attempt to revive the canteen Is only a small part of the work of the liquor ele ment of this country, and I ronndently predict that congress will take no adverse action the coming winter. Opposes Gothenbnrsr System. Mrs. Stevens touched on all the questions with which the temperance union concerns itself, Including Mormonism, the purity crusade, patent medicines and the Gothen burg system of regulating the liquor traffic. Mrs. Stevens declared the Woman's Chris tian Temperance union to be unqualifiedly opposed to the Gothenburg system, which she considered would be a compromise with the liquor interests. Mrs. Stevens saw much to encourage the advocates of equal suffrage, and believes the time to be near when all women as well as men, may exercise the privilege of ballot. Reports of the national officers and heads of the departments occurred at the after noon session. Boy Confesses Marner of Ola Man. CHANITE. Kan.. Oct. H.-Lum I..
