Savannah, Ga.—Because the Norweg ian steamship Leila, bound from Perth Amboy to Havana, Is loaded with 100 tons of dynamite she has been denied ad. mission to the port of Savannah, al though the captain tried to put in here in distress. The steamer has broken its main steampipe and the captain wishes to come to Savannah to have the trou lle repaired. As soon as the nature jot the cargo was known the harbor master communicated with the higher city offi cials as to the policy of admitting such a dangerous cargo into port while ra pairs were made to the ship. Permis sion was denied so vessel had to anchor i Venus J’oin . about 10 miles down the river, where machinists will be sent to make the repairs.

EVEN BREAK FOR COMBACKS-GULLS If Facts Bear Out Augusta and Charleston Have Even Chance For Final Bat.ie With Indians It Is said that a hame game is nine points out of ten towards a “win." By a careful study of this schedule one van see just how many “chances'’ the Combacks have towards the final bat tle with Savannah. This schedule does not Include a few games knocked out hy rain and therefore have to be played before the season closes: At On home, the road. Augusta 21 9 Charleston 21 9 Columbia 21 9 Savannah 21 9 Albany 9 21 Columbus 9 21 Jacksonvile 9 21 Macon ..9 21 As the “dope" stands Charleston, the league leaders, has an even break with Augusta, for the best end of the chances. Albany and Columbus, who are also in the first division, as far as the “dope" above goes, are complete ly obltterately In the matter of getting the “best end of the break.” This is not merely theorizing for the above program is based on facts, but. of course, said facts have to be carried out wth good playing and that it certainly what Manager Brouthers’ outfit Is doing, at least at the present time.

A'ter three centuries of speculation and some desultory digging, the canal across Cape Cod is an actual ity. Here we see one of the giant dredges at work. This licluie was taken just before the completion of the canal. In the background can be seen the final barrier of land which was removed to let the waters of Barnstable Bay mingle with the waters of Buzzard’s Day. The Idea of the Cape as a flat tongue of sand re ceives a rude shock on observing the hillside on the left of the picture. The excavators met hardpan, of glacial debris, almost as difficult to dig as rork In spots. Below are two of the men who should receive the credit for the canal. On the left is William Barclay Parsons, the famous engineer, and on the right, August Belmont, the banker. Frank A. Furst (not shown) was the contractor. Cape Cod Canal a Reality; Will Open Next Wednesday Waterway Across Long Arm of Cape Cod, Massachusetts, to Be Opened After Centuries of Speculation—Will Probably Accommodate More Tonnage Than Panama Canal For a Good Many Years to Come. FACTS ABOUT THE CAPE COD CANAL. Thirteen miles long and between 30 foot depths in Barnstable bay and Buzzard’s bay. Dimensions greater than the original Suez canal. Talked of for three centuries. Sixth actual attempt to cut across the Cape. Cost $12,000,000, compared with $400,000,000 for the Panama canal and $100,000,000 for New York State Barge canal. Estimated annual tonnage 25,- 000,000 against 10,600,000 for Panama canal and 4,000,000 for new Erie canal. Men who built canal, August Belmont, financier; William Bar clay Parsons, engineer, and Frank A. Furst, contractor. Notable Achievement. Next Wednesday there will be open ed across the long arm of Cape Cod, Massachusetts, a waterway which will probably accommodate more tonnage than the Panama canal for a good many years. This will surprise many, for the Cape Cod canal work has been done without much blare of trumpets or congressional oratory. But It Is a most notable achievement and puts much nearer the realization the dream of a all In-land waterway from Maine to Florida. The freight now rounding dangerous Cape Cod and its shoals every year amounts to 25,000,000 tons and practi cally all this is expected to take the new shorter and safer route. The ca nal cost about $12,000,000. The Pan ama canal, costing $400,000,000, will have but 10,600,000 tons annually It is estimated. The great new barge ca nal In New York state which serves to bring the grain of the West from Lake Erie to New York City is cost ing $100,000,000 and its prospective tonnage 1* but 4,000,000 tons. Why Not Before? flo It is difficult to see why the Cape God canal was not constructed before It has been discussed since shortly after the Pilgrims landed In the vicin ity. It hung fire for almost three hun dred years but now it will probably be self-supporting from the start. Vessels from ports all along the coast as far south a a Charleston, H. (’.» will ~*e the canal going to and from Boston. Twenty-five thousand craft a year now go around Cap'- Cod but at a fearful loss in floundered and wreck ed ships and with extra charges for Insurance. The average delay per round trip for barges and schooners going outside 1* calculated to be nearly four days. This means ten cents a ton loss 1» money on the 7,000,000 tons of coal and lumber carried by sailing craft and tows. Steamers carry an Additional 4,600,000 tons on which nearly the same proportional amount will bo saved by the new route. The length of the waterway is eight miles in land cut while its length ,J from thirty foot water in Barnstable bay on the northWMF .o thirty foot The Cape Cod Canal a Reality water in Buzzard’s bay on the south West. It has a minimum depth at low wa ter of twenty-five feet and is in no place less than 100 feet wide at bot tom. It is 200 feet wide at the passing places for ships and there is a 3,000 foot breakwater. The canal is greater in its dimen sions than the original Suez canal or the present Manchester canal. Toll Rat©. The toll rates will range from s•"> for motor boats and other little craft to SIOO for trading ships of 950 to 999 tons and 10 cents per gross ton for merchant vessels of more than 1,000 gross tong. The successful completion of the Cape Cod canal is due principally to the energy of three men—August Bel mont, financial backer; William Bar clay Parsons, the celebrated engineer who supervised the work for the Cape Cod Construction Company, of which Mr. Belmont is president, and Frank A. Furst, a Baltimore© engineering man, whose concern did the actual ex cavating. Those who think of the construc tion of a canal as digging away a lot of sand are much mistaken. The builders encountered hard pan and boulders, left by glaciers, according to geologists, which proved almost as tough as solid rock. There were five previous abortive attempts to cut across Cape Cod. At Cape Cod the Arctic current meets the Atlantic current and a dense fog is the result. Off Pollock’s Rip there are 1,082 hours of fog annually and 2,141 vessels have been wrecked here. The dangers of this fog were fully realized by the discoverers and settlers of the cape. When Sighted. Bartholomew Conoid, of whom little Is known, first sighted the cape in 1602. In 1620 the Pilgrims settled here and three years later we learn that a trading business bad been established between this English colony and tho Dutch of New Amsterdam. Captain Miles Standlsh, among oth ers. avoided the dangerous fogs of the cape by navigating bis little boat up the Scusset river to its bend and then transporting the tiny craft across the intervening land to the Monument river The people of the Massachu setts colony 1n 1676 had experts to go over the ground and consider the cutting of a canal across the cape, but decided the work was too great In 1697 another committee reported on the project and In 1726 a disgusted historian speaks of the "place through which a canal has been talked of this 40 years'* George Washington sent a commit tee under an engineer named Machln to report on the canal and its useful ness to the states In case of war, but It was found to involve tremendous expenditures of money. Private bodies or Individuals examined the ground time and again and In Ills the TTnlted States senate had surveys and reports made on a canal to accommodate the largest war vessels Actul Digging. The first actual digging took place In 18*0, but was almost Immediately THE AUGUSTA HERALD. AUGUSTA. GA. abandoned. In 1885 excavators took out a million cubic yards of earth. Then the work stopped. Nothing more of importance was done until 190 ft when work started on June 22. This was a little over five y«*n.rs ago. Eight powerful dredges one of them the largest in the world, ami eight tugs were employed in the work. Th*j plant used was worth a million dol lars. The builders are proud of their record of no life lost In the course of the work. There are two highway bridges over the canal, one at Boone and the other at Sagamore. They ar© longer than necessary for provision is left to widen the canal to 200 feet. It may be en larged so as to accommodate the big gest vessels afloat. The distance from Boston to New York by way of Long Island Vine yard and Nantucket sounds is 331 miles. The distance by sound and Cape Cod *s only 264 miles. Tills difference in distance, however, does not do full Justice to the saving In time accomplished by the new wa terway. PAUL GILMORE IN “THE HAVOC* MONDAY. One of the rarest treats ever offered the Augusta public is the presenta tion of the eminent star, a Broadway favorite. Mr. Paul Gilmore, in a stock season at the Bijou at popular prices. Last week hundred of the amusement lovers availed themselves of seeing so superb a company in such excellent and recognized attractions as present- JIHI ed by Paul Gllrnore and his able com pany.

H Sheldon’s powerful play, "The Havoc." It had a year’s run In New York. "The Havoc" Is a satiric restatement of the dramatic triangle, and one that wings barbed shafts of satire against Two World Beaters There’s as much difference between Dan Patch Special Horse Feed and the thou sand and one fancy named mixtures as there is between Dan Patch and a “plug.” Dan Patch Feed is eomposvd of choicest oats, corn, alfalfa meal ami Louisiana cane molasses, made by our exclusive hot prove**.

Its chief character is a wronged husband who checks his impulse to appeal to the unwritten law ami pre tends to accept the cynical philosop ly of l»is wronger, lie carries the code of a treacherous guest to its grimly logical conclusion, consummating a revenge far more crushing than one of his own immediate execution. In the development of this theme the author employs biting irony that shapes a really big story into a brilliant sardon ic comedy. No other play produced by The Paul Gilmore Co. has earned suc.i remarka ble. tributes as those elicited by “The Havoc.” It has to its credit the uni versal praise of the New York and Chicago critics. In fact of the entire United States and Cntiada. In “The Bachelor," in which Mr. Paul Gilmore appears here next Thursday, Friday and Saturday, it is said that Pitch, author of the piece, lias done one of the most amusing, clever and witty plays of his interest ing career. It is the first piece that this famous playwright has written in which he does not sound the note of j a tragedy. Of course he has given 11lie stage“ Girls“ and the “Blue Mouse," but both of these were adaptations and in their original form farces of I the first water. MIDNIGHT WITH THE COPS O. L.
