‘Publicity Is Necessary to Cause’
Miss Lucy Burns, the suffragist leader, who wrote advertise
ments on the sidewalk in front of the White House.
Colonel Goethals Reports That if
More Occur They Will Neces
sarily Push Date Beyond Jan
uary 1, 1915, Scheduled Time.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 29,—No defl-
nit* date for the official opening of
the Panama Canal is set in the an
nual report of Colonel George Go
ethals, chairman and chief engineer of
the Canal Commission, which has just
been submitted to Secretary of War
Garrison. Neither is there any pre
diction as* to when ships may pass
from ocean to ocean.
The first day of the canal’s actual
operation still depends upon the
treacherous slides of Culebra Cut and
how fast the dredges can work to keep
the channels open.
“It ha* been the general belief that
the effect of the water in the cut
would tend to retard slides, and ex
perience below the Gatun I^ocks fully
justified this belief," said Colonel
Goethals. “On the other hand, tha
geologist is of the opinion that the
water may to some extent develop
new slides. Again, much ado was
made in 1909 over the seamy character
of rock on the Isthmus, through which
water flow* quite rapidly, in conse
quence of which the question was
raised that the lake might leak out
through seams and crevices.
“The Sooner the Better.”
“If these things are liable to occur,
tli<=» sooner the better, if the official
opening of the canal is to ocfrir Jan
uary 1, 1915; for if water were not
admitted this fall, bus were deferred
until May 1, 1914. the full height couid
not be reached until October, 1914,
leaving little time for the determina
tion of these questions. These con
siderations led to the conclusion that
the water should be turned into the
cut at the earliest date practicable
for getting the dredges to work <:n
the slides.
“The present plans, therefore, are
based upon the blowing up of Gam
boa Dike on October 10, its removal
by dredges immediately thereafter,
the transfer of two* suction dredges
and a ladder dredge to the Cucaracha
slide, the smaller dipper dredges to
work on the other slides until the full
width of the channel is attained, and
the passage of vessels through the
canal as soon a* channels of full
depth and of sufT -lent width have
been secured.
Cost $349,505,222 Thu* Far.
The financial operation* of the ca
nal are told in big figures. The dis
bursing officer has paid out $20,524.-
705 on pay rolls alone. Congress ho
far has appropriated $349,605,222 fjr
canal construction, of which $10,676.-
950 went for fortification*.
In great detail Colonel Goethals
tells of the engineers’ work during
the last year, and with particular sat
isfaction it is reported that the mech
anism of the vast locks and dams
was tested with success. The gates at
Gatun were swung in one minute and
51 seconds for each leaf. The heavy-
iron chains which are depended uponr
to prevent an unruly vessel from
crashing into the locks were raised
and lowered in ample time to meet
any emergency. The locomotives
which will tow the ships through
the locks were tried out., and the elec
tric installation which will invoice
the use of a current of 44.000 volts.
Baby, in Mail Sack,
Transshipped at Sea
SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 29.—“Hold on
with that mail sack!'’ shouted Captain
W. W. Greene, of the Chiyo Maru, as
they were about to throw It into the
pilot tender California off the lightship

a baby In it.” ’
So they opened the sack, and two-
vear-old Hiya San was slipped into a
bed of picture post-cards. A freight
boom was swung outboard, the sack
fastened to the fall of a rope and down
it went safely into the boat.
W’hen the Chivo reached open water
on her wav to the Orient yesterday It
was found that a Japanese woman and
her baby bad failed to leave the ship.
The woman was assisted down the
Jacob's ladder.

Miss Burns Says She Did Not Know That She
W as Breaking Law.
WASHINGTON. Nov. 29.—Mis*
Lucy Burns, suffragist leader, arrest
ed for writing suffrage advertise
ments on the sidewalks in front of
the White House and other public
buildings, refused to accept Judge
Pugh’s offer to release her on per
sonal bond when she pleaded guilty
ip Police Court, and insisted that she
be fined. Miss Burns said she didn’t
know she was violating a law when
she wrote on the sidewalk, but she
refused to make any promises. Judge
Pugh imposed the minimum fine ot
$1.
Suffragists rallied to the support of
Miss Burns, and she has the united
sympathies of all women, in the cause.
Miss Burns, who believes that pub
licity is absolutely necessary to the
promotion of the cause, is to-day
leaving no stone unturned to secure
publicity, and recently her method
has been to utilize the free advertis
ing spac£ afforded by the city side
walks.

plaint is heard from any of the 40
subscribers of the company at and
about Harmony.
Phillips is middle-aged. He has
been in charge of the exchange more
than a year and never makes a mis
take. He has been blind for nearly
25 years, being one of the victims of
a powder explosion in a mine.

BROOKINGS. S. DAK, Nov. 29-
South Dakota has made another ad
vance toward the conquest of its
prairie uplands. Professor N. E.
Hansen, of the State College of Agri
culture and Mechanics Arts, has just j
returned from a fourth trip to the j
wilds of Siberia, bringing with him |
one and five-eighths tons of hardy I
alfalfa seed, an amount in excess of
his own and his friends’ fondest hopes
when he set out on his expedition last j
Mat.
The seed is of the hardy, upright,
yellow-flowered Siberian alfalfa, Med-
lcago falcata, which has already
proved Us worth in the western parts I
of South Dakota, and even far up j
into Canada, and It. was to get addi
tional supplies of such seed that his
State sent him abroad.
The problem wa* to obtain more
seed. The people of the State were
eager to solve this. Consequently the
ast Legislature passed two measures,
one providing $15,000 for further ex
perimentation with seeds and plants
under a nursery system adapted by
rofessor Hansen to the varying con
ditions of South Dakota, and the other
providing $10,000 to send Professor
Hansen to Siberia to gather such a
crop of seed a* he could on the open
steppes in regions he had previously
explored with success. In both of
these bill* Professor Hansen was
named as the rnan to conduct the
work.
The work was by no means easy.
The horses of the expedition were
wild and unruly, wild animals at times
gave a good deal of trouble, and the
problems rrf the commissary were not
without difficulties. The diet of the
party for the most part was limited
to mares’ milk, fat-tailed mutton,
broom corn and coarse wheat bread.
Alfalfa,seed was by no means all
that Professor Hansen obtained, how
ever. A find of exceptional value. In
his estimation, is that of a hardy red
clover, from a region where the rain
fall is about eight inches and where
there is little snow for protection, and
the mercury frequently freezes. Of
this seed Professor Hansen brought
back 142 pounds. With this experi
ments will be made with a view to
adding a new clover to the crops of
South Dakota 4
A new wheat has also been added to
the list as a result of this trip of
Professor Hansen’s. It is a Mongo
lian wheat and has a large kernel
And along with this comes a large,
white-seeded millet which gives gen-.,
erous yields with only an eight-inch I
rainfall. This is the “cornerstone" of 11
dry land agriculture in Siberia, and
is used as a food for both men and
beasts.
Couple in ‘Schooner’
Make Overland Trip
REDONDO BEACH, Nov. 29.—A
typical prairie schooner, driven by-
two travel-worn horses, pulled up In
front of a grocery store on Catalina
avenue. Upon the seat were a young
couple, the woman, a comely lass not
more than 17 years, held a baby on
her lap, while the husband hurried
into the store to replenish supplies. ]
On the sides of the canvas were
the words. “Kansas and Busted." The
woman explained that the family w-as
immigratipg to California t<> get away
from the cold winters.
The man gave his name as John
Burrows, of Salina, Kans., and stated
that he had resided on a small farm
near that city.
Teachers Opposed to
Simplified Spelling
MILWAUKEE, Nov. 29. — Simplified
spelling and a school survey proposed to
be made under State direction did not
find favor in the eyes of the Wisconsin
Teachers’ Association in session here.
The resolution for a committee to aid
in the production of simplified spelling
was also defeated The resolution pro
viding the association to co-operate with
the State board of public affairs brought
forth the most discussion, and it was
evident from the talk that many teach
ers do not favor the survey. The vote
against the resolution io co-operate in
the survey was unanimous.
Half of White Slaves I
Recruited in Kitchen
DETROIT, Nov. 29.—“Mqst of the
girls recruited for white slavery come j
from the homes, not from the shops
and factories," said Mrs. Kate Waller
Barrett, president of the National
Florence Critten-ton Mission. “Watch
your own daughter, you women.
Watch the servant girls employed in
your kitchen. Nearly 60 per cent of
women of the underworld were once
kitchen .servants."
COLUMBUS. OHIO. Nov. 29— Al
though they had been working side by

supposed ‘‘friend,’’ is his son.
