Canal Makes It Money Lender, Not Borrower
This, the latest photograph from the.Canal Zone, was taken with a camera turned to the southward from Forebay. It shows
one of the gates which guard the approach to the celebrated locks at Gatun. In case of accident a second gate to the same lock is pro
vided. A hea vy fender chain is also placed in the channel some distance from the gate. If the vessel is proceeding at proper speed
this chain falls to the bottom, out of the way. But if the craft is moving t.oo rapidly the chain remains stretched across the channel.
The vessel strikes it and is gradually' brought to a stop.
‘Twilight of Wall Street’ Is What
Some Observers Call Present
Dullness, Which Brings Wolf
Close to the Brokers' Doors,
Retired Merchants and Everyone
Else With Money Refuse Now
to Play Other Man’s Game.
Exchange Members Sell Autos.
NEW YORK, D*c. 6.—It is the
Twilight of Wall Street. The dar-
:ni r and spectacular, plunger is gone
forever. The public is apathetic to
ward stock speculation. One of the
it .st picturesque elements in our
diblic life is passing. These are some
of the conclusions drawn from the
dullness on the New York Stock Ex-
. hange. the. failure of brokers to
make a living, the dry rot.
•It was not so in the olden days.”
vVa\ back in the Black Friday era.
lay <p.uld or Jim Fiske wouldn’t hes-
• : ,t#* at all to appear in the public
- ire mart and flay the opposing
ci'iiwd of either bulls or bears with
;iv utmost freedom. Everybody knew
what they were about, and nobody
i bought of complaining in the sense
of considering their faults as of a
Dublin character.
Everyone Took Chance.
Later came the great speculative
r.is of our national life. wheiF a
“million share day” was considered
nothing, when doctors and lawyers
ami merchants gambled in stocks,
from every hamlet, when the little,
speculators were myriad and the big
speculators were as fierce if slightly
more cautious, than in the seventeis.
Harriman flinging railroads into
.In- gambling pit. John W. Cates and
other men of his type leading spec
ulative campaigns which netted them
:ens of millions, foxy old James R.
Keene, engineering pools—for many
years th^ American people stood for
them and simply laughed.
Then the great outcries began.
They’ve never led to the actual gov
ernmental reformation or abolition
of the Stork Exchange, but they seem
to have put it almost hors de com
bat simply by the force of public
opinion.
“Nobody's buying!” the brokers
cry.
“We never sell anybody from up
town,” complain the hungry-eyed
ones, meaning that the merchants
who accumulate fortunes no longer
follow the custom of retiring, seat
ing themselves next the ticker, and
proceeding gradually to turn their
hard-earned wealth over to the men
of stocks and bonds. The “men from
uptown” are coming to realize that
this is the broker's game—not theirs.
And the broker is selling his auto
mobile. He‘s no longer known as the
wine buyer.” He’s no longer known
s the patron saint of the chorus lady.
Too Much Machinery.
The floor of the Exchange these
days resembles the lounging room of a
clubhouse. The exchange is a club in
i eality. Will it become one in name?
Will it turn into a mere social or
ganization, with traditions of busi
ness?
Hardly, because there are more se
curities to be traded in each year.
There must be a public auction room
where they can change hands. The
trouble just at present is the broker
age machinery is too big for its pur
poses. It is built on a scale to handle
gie.it speculations and little specula
tions, and when it has to come down
to calm and peaceful transfers, it is
'ike a sightseeing automobile carry
ing a single passenger. There is no

Recently a large number of bonus,
clay pipes and other articles were un

coveries have been made, which leave
little doubt that large numbers of

Deer So Plentiful
Cows Are Labeled
most independent nation, financially,
in the world. It is the only nation
which receives interest on money it
has loaned instead of paying interest
on funds borrowed.
The country, vastly rich in re
sources of mines, fields and sea, has
come into its own—and all because
of the canal.
Panama has no bonded debt upon
which to pay interest. It has invested
in gilt-edge mortgages in the United
.States $6,000,000. bringing in an in
come yearly of about 4 1-2 per cent.
There is $300,000 on deposit to guar
anty# the parity of its currency, and.
uf'*^this year, the United Stales will
pay a perpetual yearly rental of
$250,000 for the canal.
The income from taxation amounts
to about $5,000,000 yearly, and there
is no army, no navy, and no expen
sive courts to keep up. All money is
available for improvements, and Pan
ama is the only nation collecting in
terest on its own money instead of
paying out interest on loans.
Schools Are Numerous.
There is one school to every 165
children of school age in Panama, and
nowhere in the country are there
enough unemployed laborers to sup
ply the demand for workers, and the*
pendence. The social movement, in
Europe epitomized by the French
revolution, made headway on the
Isthmus slowly. When the other col
onies were deserting Spain Panama
remained loyal, tbe loyalty being
based largely on incompetence. Tbe
lack of ethic unity on the Isthmus, of
economic independence, distrust of
Bogota, with whom her revolutionary
ciestinies must be placed, and the
presence of strong garrisons, all had
an influence on that loyalty, and the
home Government in IS 14 conferred
upon the Panamanian cities the title
of “Faithful.”
Colombia Rule Unhappy.
Until February $* 1822, it was an
independent State. Then it became
the Dcqiartnient of tbe Isthmus of the
new Republic of Colombia, and its
troubles, far from being over, contin
ued alipost without check until 1903,
when the independence from Colom
bia was effected.
The period of Colombian rule was
one of strife, for when Colombia
happened to furnish a capable and
kindh Governor, the Panamanians
themselves waged an internal row.
In 1903 the United States attempt
ed to deal with Colombia in an effort
to build the Panama Canal. In the

With Former Spouse and
Accused Man.
S A N FRANCISCO, Dec. 6.—Her- j
bert L. Nelson, frenzied financier and •
promoter, is held by the San Fran
cisco police for the police of Detroit.
He is alleged to have stolen one
wife from H. S. Warren, stock bro- i
ker, and to have swindled a Detroit j
woman out of $2,000.
Warren, stock broker, and his wife.
May, accomplished, and the mother of j
a* beautiful 13-year-old daughter, j
Evelyn, met Nelson in t 1908.
“You understand,” says Mr. War
ren. “sometimes a woman can not ,
control her emotions. That was the \
case with Mrs, Wairen."
Nelson was married to a daugh- !
ter of W. J. Brown, prominent com- j
mission merchant of this city.
“In January, 1911. I received « let
ter from my. wife, asking me to
divorce her, that she might marry
Nelson.” said Mr. Warftq. “I filed
suit, charging desertion, and the de
cree was granted. In April, 19 LI,
Mrs. Warren and Nelson were mar
ried, somewhere in Oregon. 1 have
always considered our separation,
not as a divorce, but as a dissolution
of partnership.”
So in September, 1913. when Nel- i
son, said to have been a fugitive from j
a swindling charge, arrived in De- ;
troit, penniless, with the former Mrs.
Warren and Miss Warren, Warren i
met them at the depot and took them |
all to his own home, at No. 104 Hoi- '
brook avenue. There the former hus
band, his daughter, his divorced wife
and her present husband lived until !
June. .1913. when, according to Mr.'
Warren, they left all of a sudden.
“My daughter was of on age when
she should have a mother's caiv, and
I felt that she should he with her I
mother: but I wanted her. too, and
did all in my power to help Nelson
to stay and make his home here, that
my daughter might have us both,” he
said.

Kansas Too Rich as

CHICAGO, Dec. 6.—The State of
Kansas officially complains of being
too rich. Its cry of protest relates
particularly to the distribution of its
people.
The percentage of population liv
ing in the cities Yias risen in ten [
years from 34 to 39. In measuring
the significance of this fact one must
remember that a “city” is an aggre

Found in California
JOLIET. ILL., Dee. 6.—A suit for
$10,000 damages is the latest event in
the war between M. R. Kelly, dra
matic critic for The Herald, and the
management of a burlesque show at
the Orpheum Theater.
Kelly saw the show and was so
pained his review was far from com
plimentary. Charles LeRoy, manager
of the company, addressed the audi
ence and said the hostility of the crit
icism was due to Kelly having been
thrown out of the theater.
Kelly was accosted by one of t ie
troupe, who struck him in the face,
breaking his glasses and leaving him
on the street.
This disagreement was patched up
later, but Kelly tiled suit against Le
Roy and the theater.

interests are forced to import labor to
operate their plants.
The country is rich in gold and
hardwoods. There is a fine field for
agriculture and cattle raising. The
United States has made the cities
clean and healthy* and the interior
of the country always was so. And
so. after hundreds of years of strife,
Panama has "come into its own.
Famed for Its Fish.
The waters of the Pacific Ocean
at Panama abound in splendid fish,
and there is a tradition that the name
Panama was the old Indian word for
“place of abundance of fishes.” At
all events, after the execution of Bal
boa in 1519. the Spaniards began to
explore the Facile Cosret ami found
a small fishing village called Pan
ama. and on August. 15, 1519. Gover
nor Pedrarias announced! that the
place would be the site of his .future
capital, and established tbe first per
manent settlement in the New World.
Two years later a royal decree made
Panama a city, and it became the scat
of a bishop.
For 30 years expeditions were sent
out from Panama in search of gold,
and from here, in 1524, were started
the voyages of Pizarro and Alniagro,
w hich ended in the discovery of Peru
and the vast wealth of that country.
On April 3, 1527, an expedition went
overland through the divide at Cule-
bra ami sailed down the Chagres
River to the Atlantic, traversing ex
actly the same route which the ships
will take when the canal is finished.
Panama was l'ar from being a quiet
place. Whenever the ships came In
from Peru laden with gold and jewels
there usually was a fight for some
part of it.
Pirates and contrabandists har
assed the isthmus, but the city of
Pajtama grew, and before 1550 tbe
place had some 3,000 inhabitants, with
about as many more in the outposts,
and a cathedral had been built.
Harried by Pirates.
This period saw the rise and de
cline of Panama. Spain’s own deca
dence played a great, part in the fall,
as did the attacks of the English and
French on the trade of the Indies and
the inability of Panama to develop
its own resources as the transisth
mian trade decreased. But the pi
rates and buccaneers did more than
anything else to wreck the country.
Morgan and Drake and the others
burned the towns, killed the inhabi
tants. and stole, the plunder which
had been brought up from the south.
In 1671 tiie old city of Panama was
destroyed and a few years later the
present city, a few miles away, was
founded in what was believed to -be a
safer place. To shut out the pirates
and the enemies of Spain a. sea wall
was built around the new town in
1674. and it was successful.
The King’s Jest.
This wall, which is still standing,
Cost SO in ii- • he King ot
Spain said that lie did not under
stand why he could not see it by sim
ply looking to the west out of the
windows of his palace. Actually tbe
wall Is about 30 l’eet high and of the
same width. It is built of stone and
earth. .
The milestones irt Panama, after!
the independence from Spain in 1821,
are the completion of the Panama
Railroad (1855) and the start of the
construction of the Panama Fanal, in
1881. The first 70 years after the new
town was built were qu^ei ones,
marked by good government, but still
years in which Panama was prostrate,
because of t ie abandonment of the
i trade route. Then came 90 years ot
internal strife, and finally, on Novcm-
j her 2s. 1*21. ram? the declaration of
j indopendf nee from Spain.
* Panama was th** ln>t of the South
that the government at Bogota, the
capital of Colombia, would not ratify
the treaty allowing the United States
to construct the waterway. Then fol
lowed the bloodless revolution of No
vember, 1903, when, with the assist
ance of the United .States, Panama
became independent of Colombia.
Treaty Ends Trouble.
On February 26. 1904. Panama
signed a treaty with the United
States which practically ended its
troubles for all time, for then it be
came a protectorate of the United
States, which since then has assisted
largely in choosing its Presidents,
cleaned up its cities, and contracted
to pay it enough money to make it
the most independent country, finan
cially. In the world.
Cuts Off Finger to
Fool Law: Plan Fails
NEW YORK. Dec. 6. An attempt
to beat the finger-print, system proved
unsuccessful to-day when Joseph
Sniple was identified at headquar
ters, though he had had a sixtli finger
on his hand amputated to fool the
experts.
As the prints of the remaining fin
gers of the prisoner were the same a«
those in the record of Sniple. the
police examined his hand closely and
found a tiny scar, w here the sixth
finger had been. He then admitted
that a specialist had operated on him.
Sniple was caught with three other
men in a basement on East Fourth
street, n which the police say they
found $2,000 worth of stolen hair
goods.

Child Has Ter> Million Years
Back of Him in Fight With
Environment
NEW YORK, Dec. 6.—The encour
aging word of science that "heredity
is overwhelmingly a force for the
Improvement of the race;" that “the
child at birth has not a few months,
but 10,000,000 years of unbroken life
to back him in his fight with envi
ronment,” and that “even In the slums
four-fifths of all the children are born
normal and healthy." was proclaimed
by Dr. Woods Hutchinson.
“One excitable gentleman,” he said,
“figured out that at the rate at which
Insanity was increasing we would all
be mad in a century and a quarter.
“He forgot that the increase was
due largely to the fact that more
cases of insanity are cared for to-day
than formerly. And. at the worst*
only from 1 to 2 1-2 per cent of Hu
manity is defective mentally.
“A careful use of negative eugen
ics. preventing the breeding of real
defectives, can reduce, that proportion-
almost, to nothing."

Does four skin chao or roughen easily

easy way to overcome the trouble and
keep your complexion beautifully white,
smooth and soft the winter long. Just
get au ounce of ordinary mercolized wax

tle before retiring, as you would cold
cream. Upon arising, remove the coat
ing with sudsy water. Tbe wax, through
some peculiar attribute, flecks off the
rough, discolored or blemished skin.
The worn-out cuticle comes off just like
dandruff on a diseased scalp, only in
almost invisible particles. Mercolized
wax simply hastens Nature’s work.
Used as required, it keeps the face con
stantly free, from devitalized scarf skin
