Here is a new marriage law. promfulgated by the President " under authority of law vested in me." Here is another Executive order. of March 13. 2907. "under authority vested in me by law "-what law and what authority. I would like to know?-" it is ordered that the following amendments be made to the penal code." Among other things. grand larceny is fixed when the property Is of the value of $10 and upward. and embezzlement of the property of the United States or of the Canal Commission is made punishable by imprisonment in the penitentiary for not more than ten years. which seems to me to impose a considerable discretion in the judge. Here is a new immigration law for the Zone. which is chiefly remarkable because it contains some of the simplified spelling which we applaud so much. Here is an Executive order of March 13. 1907. and this I consider particularly important abolishing municipal government on the Zone and replacing it with four administrative districts. each ruled over by a tax collector. The first Isthnian Canal Commission established on the Zone five municipal districts.
