after a consultation with the directors, de-
clded TO 70 on to Chicago at once During
the consultation Inspector Mclaughlin
had a talk with the bank officials. Whom
he came out, he told the reporters that no
would send Detective Nugent Of his staff
TO Chicago.
After the inspector left United States
District Attorney MacFarland called. He
was asked by the reporters In waiting
whether Seely would be brought back un-
der the state OF federal indictments.
"Seely,n he replied, will be brought
here by United States marshal after the
necessary papers have been forwarded TO
the proper authorities in Chicago" This
answer threw no light on the reason OF In
spector Mclaughlin sending one Of his
men out. Altogether there are ten indict-
ments found against Seely in the state and
federal courts.
The following telegram was sent to See
" by Lawyer Angel, but he signed anoth-
or name to it: If you ara Seely and in
tend TO surrender, do so only TO the United

VICTORY FOR THE CANAL COMPANY.

Yesterdays Report of the Investigation
Board Practically Locates the Big Ship
Canal Upon the Present Lins-size Of
the New Waterway.
The report Of the Chesapeake and Del
aware Canal Commission was submitted
to Congress yesterday afternoon. Tbs
board finds the most feasible route for
the construction Of the canal to be the
Back Greek route, which Is substantially
located upon the line Of the existing
Chesapeake and Delaware canal
The board does not base it's selection on
considerations Of cost, although 1t Is the
cheapest route, but the more northerly
route Is chosen on account of Its adaptR-
tion for national defense, which involves
more than the transit of vessels Of war
from bay TO bay The route itself must
be defended and It's defense involves the
fortihcation Of Its entrances The other
routes could not be easily defended
The canal as recommended win have q
length, measured from the port OF
Baltimore to point at sea IL miles OUT
side OF Delaware Breakwater. OF 100 13
miles, the canal proper being Is 03
miles long. and It Is estimated that 1t
will cost 81, 900. 900 to secure q depth
i throughout of 81 feet.

New Federal Building.
Several days ago the Morning News

struction of the new Federal Building at
Ninth and Orange streets, no pro-
vision had been made for the
laying of gas pipes or electric
wires, and that all the plastering had
been done without either pipes or wires
being put In. As matter Of fact
there are ''chases" about eight by
twelve inches running up the walls
In all parts of the building for
the reception Of gas, heat and water
pipes and electric wires. All these
''chases" begin at the upper pert Of the
building and open into the basement, so
that pipes may be carried into the
basement and showed up to any part OF
the building.
None of the floors have been laid, but
before they are the pipes will be put in
wherever needed. This work comes
