SEES TAFT ABOUT PANAMA GOVERNOR Goethals Opposes Politician a's Successor to Governor Blackburn NEW YORK, Sept. 9. olonel George Goethals, chief of the -Panama Isthmian Canal Commission, has Just arrived here from Colon en route to Beverly, to consult with President Taft-concerning a successoi: to Governor J. S. Blackburn of the canal zone, who submitted his- resignation last week.

Colonel Goethals toreach Beverly secretly, and withbutany one knowing about it. His narnef was not on the steamship register and when he was identified he was greatly surprised. He admitted" that he was on his way to thePresldent and that the President eVtpected him. Concerning his mission iPolonel Goethals said: POLITICIAN XOT WANTED. "It is most essential for the progress of the canal that the new Governor should be a man who will help to build the canal and not a politician who will make trouble.

As soon as I heard that Governor Blackburn had resigned, I decided to take a month's vacation and see the President. "The condition in the canal zone must be either harmony or friction and the selection of a man. for the place is of the greatest importance to myself and the rapid construction of the canal." When asked abouP the renewekl reports that the lock system was to be changed to a sea level canal jCdlonel Goethals laughed. "There's nothing In It." he salcl.

A cut about a mile long between Georgona. and Malathin, completed- two wneks ago, was two feet above the level of the Chagres, but three days before I sailed the river overflowed and filled the cut with sand and other debris" HEAD FOB WESTERN JESUITS Rev.

Herman Goller of Spokane Appointed Superior Over New District SANTA CDARA, Sept. 9. Word was received yesterday by Rev. Richard Glecson, S. president of Santa CUwa College, of a chtenge affecting the whole Jesuit order In the Western and Pacific coast States.

The California-Rocky Mountnin mission is a thins of the past and in its place a province with Rev. Herman Goller of Spokane, as Its head is created. The order comes direct from Rev. Francis Xavier Wemz In Rome. The man who has been appointed superior over this new territory" 's one whose name is -well known in Catholic circles.

A nephew of Rt. Rev. -Mgr. Herman Goller. pastor of St.

Peter and St. Paul's Church of St. Louis, he pursued his studies at Woodstock College, Woodstock, Md. The newly created provincial was ordained in the Society of Jesus In 1S99 by Cardlnal Gibbons. After enteringthe Jesuit order Dr.

Goller was sentto the then new theologate at St. Ixiuls, where he lived one year. TEACHER OF PHILOSOPHY. His next oixler was to Spokane, where he taught philosophy to the young Jesuits, at the same time, performing the duties as prefect of studies at Gonzaga College. He was eventually made rector at that institution.

During the absence of Father Se la Mott he acted as vice-superior of tho Rocky Mountain mission. Two years ago. this mission amalgamated with the California mission and both were given the name of the Calirornia-Rocky-Mountain mission, with Very Rev. George de la Mott 'as superior. This was the fwst preliminary step toward the making of the mission a province, which culminated today.

By this decree the nevly formed province of California has been detached fronr-the Turin province, to which It was i formerly subject, and from' the Italian a.sistancy and has been rendered a parti of the Knglish assistancy. This change! effects rather the Internal government and will not modify the status of the various Jesuits. In losing Rev. Herman Goller (Gonzaga College parts with a man who lias been closely identified with Its and progress for many years.

The new provincial is a personal friend of Rev. Richard A. Gleeson of Santa Clara College and of many professors at the local Jesuit institution. For Rev." George de la Mott, S. the retiring head of tha Cajifomla-Rocky Mountain mission, nothing but praise is heard on all sides.
