THE ISTHMIAN CANAL.
Claims 1t Is Understood the Mari
time Company WiU Make


The State Department has not been off,
cially advised as to the present status OF
the concession granted by Nicaragua TO
the Maritime Canal Company nor has that
company yet sought the aid of the Govern
ment 10 secure perpetHat!on OF the rights
accruing under the concession. II is as
serted that the Maritime Company will con-
test any attempt on the part of the Mica
raguan Government to cancel the agree
ment for the construction OF a waterway.
Although October l2 was the date for the
expiration OF the concession. yet there
were provisions in the contract that II Ger
tain steps were taken within that time the
contract should still live.
1t is understood that the Maritime Com
pany will urge that il was deferred from a
specific performance of the terms Of the
contract because of revolutionary condi-
tions over which the Nicaraguan Govern
ment alone had control and for which Ii
alone was responsible.
The concession granted to the Eyre
Cragin syndicate was contingent upon the
lapse of the Maritime concession but a
hitch may occur in that the Maritime Com
pany has concession from the Costa Ri
can Government. That Government has
riparian rights along the San Juan River
which make its agreement to canal
franchise essential. 1t is said that the
Eyre-Cragin syndicate and the Maritime
Company may combine and thus avoid the
complications OF a fight.

NEW YoRK's GREAT MYSTERY
The Police Now HIVE the Rest CIeyv
So Far Found


NEW YORK, Oct. I5.-Mrs. Sarah Car
roll, seventy-five years old who keeps a
furnished rooming house at 2S0 West
Eighteenth Street. went to the police today
with the story of the disappearance of o1e
Of her dodgers, young woman named Mrs
Kate Feeley. The story seemed to the po-
lice to furnish most promising expana-
ton of the mystery of the butchered
woman. pieces of whose body were picked
| up In the city and in the river and bay
about ten days ago. The police went to
work on the lines suggested by Mrs. Car
roll story with great enthusiasm. Ac-
cording TO Mrs. Carroll Mrs Feeley disap-
peared on Friday, October 6. Mrs. Bill
ings, the janitress of the fat at 22f West
Eighteenth Street, had already tod the
police that she found on the morning of
October piece of flesh in her ash can
which she believed land the police believed
until today was part of the murdered
woman's body. The police said tonight
that they had for some time thought that
Mrs. Billings story was the product of an
overdeyeloped imagination that had been
worked upon by the notoriety given to the
cut-up body case. They do not attempt to
explain, however, how it was that Mrs.
Billings was able to produce in proof of
her story biood-stained copies of news
papers Of the same date as those which
We're found wrapped around parts of the
body.
In Mrs. Carroll's opinion Mrs. Feeley's
proportions We're the same as those OF the
pieces OF the body that are now at the
morgue. Mrs. Feeley had advertised for
place as general housekeeper on Friday
morning, October 6, and went away with
o man who said he wanted girl TO work
for his wife in a fiat in Seventeenth
Street, near Seventh Avenue. She has not
been seen since.
Mrs. Carroll furthermore told the police
that she sleeps on a lounge in the back
room of her house, the windows of which
open on court that is very close to Sew
enteenth Street. AT o'clock on Saturday
morning, she says. she was awakened by
the noise of fight. She could not tell
whether the fight was in fiat fronting
on seventeenth Street or in an alleyway
leading into the court. She said that she
heard blows struck and mans voice
shouting in anger. Then a woman's voice
cried "Murder," three times in piercing
tones. and at the same time she heard an
other woman exclaim: "Oh, for Gods
sake, don't Kill herr
Then the noise died away. She thought
that it was merely a drunken fight, and
paid no more attention to it until she no.
tieed that Mrs. Feeiey was missing. She
went TO Mrs. Clifford's house and found
that Mrs. Feeley had not been seen there
either Next she remembered that the first
portion of the body had been found about
four hours after she heard the screams in
Seventeenth Street. She also remembered
that the second portion had been found
about eleven hours later. When Mrs.
Feeley failed 70 show up yesterday Mrs.
Carroll made up her mind that she was
the woman that had been murdered and
so told the police, She is firm In the belier
that the fight she heard was that In which
the woman was killed

COST OF THE BIG GUNS.
Their Manufacture and Expense of
Firing Very Great.


A single big gun Of the many now being
put in place for the protection of the sea-
coasts costs a snug fortune. Some inter-
esting figures on this subject have just
been submitted 10 General Wilson, Chief
of Engineers, and viii be by him trans
mitted TO Congress
A 12-inch breech-loading rife, with its
disappearing carriage, costs s141, 600; a 10
inch. s9s. ESQ. and an S-inch, s72 900. The
figures show that modern high powered
guns cost immense sums of money, and
the cost of firing them is proportionately
as great. The report of the experts who
have inspected these guns and the devices
for securing an accurate aim show that
there is an immense saving effected by
possessing modern range and position find
ing devices.
The demoraiizing effect OF hit as COM
pared TO a miss" said one of these re-
ports. cannot be reduced TO a money
value. but it costs big money TO shoot a
big gun and then miss the mark Take
for instance the l2-inch gun. To miss the

With the sls-inch gun the loss is 1922 49,
