no V ERTOWiV, Ta., Jan. IS. This llttls
liorough, which lost one-fifteenth of Its
population In the opera house horror Mon
day night, today turned to the task of
burying Its dead. Hrcausa of the condi
tion of most of the bodies the borough au
thorities have nuked the bereaved relatives
to bury the dead within three days. All
night long scores of men worked in the
morgues preparing the identified bodies for
removal to tliolr late homes or to the cem
etery. As rarly as 6 o'clock a long Una of
death wagons moved here and there about
1 lie town distributing the corpses and be
fore nightfall most of the dead will be
ready for interment.
There was a slight bitch In tho work of
removing bodies from the morgues through
I he action of Coroner Htrasser forbidding
the removal of any bodies during his ab
sence. Thla was due to a mixup In the
Identification of tho body of a boy. There
wera three claimant for the body and all
appeared before tho coroner for. permut
ston i(t remove It. Each one was positive
U'nt.liie body was the one he was looking
for. Therefore to prevent mistakes the
ioi one issued the order. Iturger Koehler
Icarnei of this and immediately communl.
rated with the coroner at Reading, whero
he hurt gone on business. When It was
explained that people who had positively
identified their dead wanted the bodies
ml that bodies in dispute would be held
the coroner rescinded his order. Since then
tho relief committee working In conjunc
tion with relative, has removed more, than
fifty t)0diei from Jhe morgues. It is a
common slpht to sec men carrying through
lhe streets charred bodies on boards cov
ered by a blanket or quilt.
Km. FonersI Ceremonies.
More than sixty death certificates were
iHHiird up to 10 a. m. and most of these
bodies will re burled during the day, most
of them without any funeral ceremonies.
There is not a clergyman In town able to
conduct services. There will be no services
In the Lutheran church Sunday. Rev. Adam
Weber, who lost a daughter, is atill pros
trated. The remains of his child were re
moved to tils home last night. They will
be Interred at Boonville, Pa., this after
noon. It rained slightly this morning and there
was a little fall of snow, but this did not
deter the work of digging graves. A force
of men started to dig graves In Fairvlew
ami Union cemeteries this morning and
thev will be relieved at intervals.
The borough has decided to buy elghfi
lots for the burial of the unidentified dead.
In the center of the plot sufficient space
will be left for the erection of a monu

TAFT TELLS OF CANAL' WORK
Secretary 0f War Before Committee on
tnteroceanic Canals.
STEAME& SERVICE INSUFFICIENT
taee Lack of Work for Panama
Railroad and Mar End la
Government Line of
Vessels.
WASHINGTON, Jan. m-Secretary Taft
appeared before the senate committee on
lnteroceanlc canals today and gave that
committee Information concerning the pro
ject and offered suggestions for legisla
tion. He gave a complete review of the con
ditions nt the canal site and quoted In
formation he had received from various
officials connected with the work. He
expressed tho opinion that the canal should
be completed within six years from next
July and thatits ultimate cost would be
approximately $300,000,000, Including the
purchase price.
Th proposed widening of the locks was
carefully examined Into by Secretary Tatt.
He asserted that with the locks widened
to 110 feet a steamer of 108 feet beam could
easily pans through. The largest ship this
government Is planning to build will have
a beam of 95 feet. The Increased cost of
the locks, Mr. Taft estimated, would be
about $5,000,000.
In his talk to the committee. Secretary
Taft at various points brought out the
difficulties that beset the commission In
the administration. These range all the
way from trouble with the Pacific Mall
Steamship line because of Its failure to
furnish enough steamers, to labor difficul
ties. He also spoke of the complaints by
the Panamanians that there is a bad odor
to the water that Is served to them through
the new water works at Panama, as one
of the- small, yet annoying features of the
work.
Transportation Problem.
"In the matter of steamship transporta
tion facilities on Wie Paciflo coast, the sec
retary said that owing to their- inadequacy
the business of the railroad had fallen off
one-half since the government took posses
sion and it was a question in his mind
whether the government would not engage
In the steamship business on the Pacific In
order to retain the Panama route now
existing and keep the Isthmian business
from going by way of Tehuantepeo or some
other route.
"It may be a question," said the secre
tary, "of saving the income for our steam
ers on the east coast, by running con
siderable risk on the west."
Secretary Taft brought out considerable
information concerning prices paid for labor
on the canal and urged ttiat there be no
reduction In the wAges paid to skilled
laborers In splto of the fat that according
to nis estimate they were receiving In nav
and privileges from 60 to 80 per cent higher
income than they could earn In the United
States. Secretary Taft gave It as his
opinion that any reduction at all would
cause serious labor difficulties. Even with
skilled labor at the present standard, he
said, there was recently a arlke upon the
refusal of the commission to Increase the
wages and a force sufficient to run sixty
five steam shovels was depleted to a force
sufficient to run only thirteen.
Llqnor Trade.
Senator Flint put a number of questions
to tho secretary as to land controversies
on the Isthmus, the cost of sanitation and
the advisability of the government run
ning the Ttvoll hotel. In connection with
the last named project ' the secretary
thought It quite necessary for the govern
ment to operate the hotel. There ought to
be no further complaint from the native
business In respect to liquor trade, as tho
hotel had had its bar removed. The sec
retary said the water rents charged Pan
ama will in fifty years pay all cost of
providing the water works, the Improve
ment of streets and the construction of
the sewerage system. At the end of that
period the work will become the property
of Panama.
"If anyone doubts the condition of the
streets of Panama," he said, "I will refer
him to my friend, Poultney Bigelow."
He was questioned by Senator Ankeny
concerning the lepers at Panama and re
sponded promptly that leprosy is always
greatly exaggerated, citing his experience
In the Philippines.
"When we went to the Philippines," he
said, "we were told that there were from
20,000 to 30.000 lepers. We have now 3,600
lepers that we know of there. During the
last year the number has been reduced to
600."
Kino Lepers In Zona.
In Panama, he said, nine lepers wero
known, and they have been Isolated on
an Island, and there Is no fear on their
account. They had adopted the policy of
acting on the advice of tho doctors in all
cases of sanitation and, said he, "Dr.
Oorgas has proved so uniformly successful
that we have felt justified in taking his
advice In such matters."
He declared that It Is not so unhealthful
to live In the tropics as It wa formerly.
Mr. Taft said the commission had found
that the price placed upon land needed for
the canal Is excessive and has no relation
to Its value for private purchase. That has
not delayed construction work, however,
because the land is taken and paid for
afterward. The government of Panama has
offered to give the United States a site for
a legation at Panama near the new gov
ernment building being erected by the re
public. He thought It would be advisable
to provide a legation building that would
bring the property wtihin the dignity of the
United States In the future when the canal
has been completed.
Senator Flint wanted to know if this gov
ernment could not with advantage sell all
the land now owned by the Panama rail
road company In Panama and not actually
used for railroad purposes In order to re
lieve the government of owning property
there that Is used for Improper purposes.
Hestrtetlons Demanded.
Mr. Taft thought some of the land could
be sold, and added that all th new leases
provide that tho premises shall not b used
for Immoral purpoaes. Including the use of
saloons. Some of this land would be needed
in the future for the railroads.
Senator Kittredge asked Taf: whether lie
had any rccoiiunendatlun for legislation In
the canal mone. The secretary replied that
he thought there should be an appeal from
the courts of (he soie to the supreme
court of the United Slates, but with the
exception ho had no recommendations to
make. After the canal has been completed
he thought there should be a comprehen
sive form of government devised for the
lone, but he saw no reason for that now.
"This year has satisfied me,"sald Mr.
Taft. that a contract for doing the work
on the Panama canal Is impracticable."
He added that any firm able to supply
the large amount of money needed to
carry on the work would demand such a
large profit as to make It Inadvisable to
enter upon It.
The committee adjourned until tomorrow
when Colonel Goethals, chief engineer of
th canal work, w ill be heard.
Federation of Labor Officers.
8IOUX FALLS. S. V., Jan. l.-(Speclal )

members of the Sioux Falls Federation of

'community of Interests, ' If any existing
among them, 'tend to defeat' the purposes
of the act."
' Government's Contention flood.
Judgo Hough states that he considers
Mr. Harrlman's position to the effect that
the Union Pacific could, mortgage Its Inter
state railway for what It pleased and .In
vest the proceeds of the hypothecation In
anything permitted byj the laws of Utah
at prices and from vendors not open to
investigation or criticism by the commis
sion Is its own confutation, Inasmuch, from
such premises, it must follow, says the
Judge, that any interstate carrier created
by state law may ruin itself through Im
provident investment and become wholly
unable to fulfill Us carrying functions.
All questions, says the opinion, relating
to the purchase of stock aro therefore
within the purview of the resolution.
The question relating to possible specu
lation In Union Pacific shares seems, says
the Judge, to stand In a different light.
"The dividend had been declared, Its
amount or rate ' Is .not-' in question, pre
sumably It had been earned, but whether
sdvisedly declared or hot the deed had
been done and the corporate act completed.
I do not see how the withholding
of information from the public after divi
dends declared tended to defeat the pur
poses of tho act, or Impair the ability of
the Union Taclflc to perform its duties as
an interstate carrier.'.'.. '
Of the opinion Mr. Stlmson said:
"I regard It as a sweeping victory. The
one question concerning the dividend which
Mr. Harrlman Is not directed to answer
Is one lnwhlch we did not even expect to
win."

OMAHA AFTER CORN SHOW
Business faen Will Meet Profs. Jones
and Holden Tuesday.
UNITED EFFORT WILL BE MADE
Itetsll Merchants and Wholesale Im
plement Men Are Counted On for
VHelp In Landing This
Great Exhibition.
Omaha will take a step Tuesday toward
securing the next National Corn associa
tion's show for this city. A mass meeting
of public spirited business men will be held
that day ot the Commercial club for the
promotion of this enterprise. Prof. R. G.
Holden, "corn man" of the Iowa Agricul
tural college, and Prof. J. Wilkes Jones
of tho same Institution, who Is also secretary-treasurer
of the national association,
will meet with these men. Definite plans
will he suggested on which it Is believed
the convention can be secured for Omuha.
Chicago held this convention last October
In its Coliseum, and at least three objec
tions have arisen to the proposition of re
peating that exhibition. In the first place,
Chicago Is not In the center ot tho corn
belt, while Omaha Is; In the second place,
October Is too early for the show, and In
the third place, the Chicago Coliseum Is
not adequate to the demands of such an
exhibition. The sum total of these objec
tions is that Chicago Is not popular for the
next meeting place, and Omaha Is the
choice ot a largo number of tho promoters.
Omapa. in the center of the corn belt, with
itg Auditorium, and the time set for No
vember or December, are regarded as tho
most suitable terms that could be sug
gested. While the meeting Tuesday will not be
held under' Commercial club auspices. It
will be attended and supported by many
leading members, of the Hub and Uio ex
ecutive committee. Retailers are showing
great Interest In the proposition'. Prominent
downtown merchants and Implement men
from the wholesale district are among the
strong advocates.
Implement Men's Conventions.
The Nebraska Implement dealers will be
holding their annual convention in Omaha
about the time that will he set for the
corn show next fall, and it is proposed to
have the Iowa dealers, jkho meet about the
same time, hold their convention In Coun
cil Bluffs so as to be able to attend the
show. These men are all deeply Interested
in corn displays and will add great promi
nence to one.
Omaha men feel encouraged over the
active support they aro receiving from both
Prof. Holden and Prof. Wilkes, and they
realize the fact that the latter's position
as secretary-treasurer of the national as
sociation will be a means of strength to
them In landing the exhibition. All they
need, they Bay, Is thorough co-operation
at home and of this they feel certain.
Prof. Holden was to have spent some
time In Omaha Saturday In conference
with T. F. Sturgess, editor of The Twen
tieth Century Farmer, and other prime
movers In this scheme, but while he will
stop off here Suturday on a Journey he
will not be able to tarry any length of
time.
