Strange, that they should go to the cemetery next morning at 9 o'clock and eXhume the arm to see if there was anything in the contention of the patient. The party met at the Knights of Pythias hall and at 45 o'clock that afternoon Dr. Martin, Mir James, MT. Barnett and eight or ten other reliable citizens went to the cemetery and dug up the amputated arm. When the box was opened the hand was found in exactly the same position as described by MT.

WALKER FAVORS
 PANAMA ROUTE Explains WhyCOnmissiOD Chang
 ed from Nicaragua View QUESTIONED A5 TO TITLE 
Tells Senator Morgan the Commission Was Assured In a General Way That the Transfer Would Be
 Acceptable to the U. s.

Washington, February s.-Admiral the Senate committee on inter-oceanic canals today and Col Haupt, another member of the Isthmian Canal commis- sion, is to be heard Monday.
 The examination today was with refer ence to the reasons why the canal com mission changed its recommendations from the Nicaragua to the Panama route. The reasons given by the witnesses for this change are that the Panama route is much shorter and that it has fewer curves and that those curves which do exist are not so sharp as the curves in the Nicaragua route. He also said he be- lieved that with proper quarantine regu- lations the health conditions of the region along the Panama line could be much improved. He did not consider the pres ent condition from a health point of view as bad.
 Hanna Asks Questions.
 The questions bringing out these points were asked largely by Senator Hanna who also made inquiries concerning the water supply for the Panama canal and the difficulties in the way of constructing a dam at Bohio. With reference to the dam Admiral Walker said he had no doubt that the engineering difficulties could be overcome and he also expressed the opinion that the water supply would be ample. He stated in reply to ques- tions by other senators that one of the curves in the Panama waterway would be quite sharp but he was of opinion that steam vessels would be able to round it. He also said that the harbor at Panama could be maintained at a nominal cost
 Senator Morgan questioned the wit ness at length with reference to the com missions investigation of the power of the new Panama canal company to trans fer the property and give clear title
 Admiral Walker said he had been satis- fled in a general way that the new Pan anna canal company would be capable of passing the property to the United States with acceptable title, but that he was not lawyer and he felt satisfied in case the recommendation of the commission to accept the Panama route should be favorably acted upon by Congress, the President would be assured by competent legal advice of the genuineness of the title before accepting the transfer.
