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.

CAPE COD CANAL.
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

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

The first actual digging took place

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. People from many of the
smaller towns have come to see Mr.
Gilmore, realizing that the regular
dollar and a half productions by the
regular star and cast are being given
at popular prices. It Is assured that
this week will be another busy one for
the Bijou with Mr. Gilmore appear
ing In two more of his great successes,
"The Havoc” for Monday, Tuesday
and Wedntsday, while "The Bachelor"
will be shown the last three days of
the week. It. Is announced that a mat
inee Wednesday', also Saturday, at. 4
p. rn., will be given at bargain prices.
Paul Gilmore and associated play
ers comes to the Bijou theatre In If. 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

the erotic preachments disseminated
by advocates of so-called advanced
ideas. 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
