in the construction Of the canal The
report states:
The advantages Of sea level canal
across the isthmus are most obvious.
1t would be a waterway with no re-
striction to navigation, and one which
easily could be enlarged by widening
or deepening it at any time, in the fu-
turex to accommodate increased traffic
without inconvenience tosthe shipping
using 1t, whereas lock canal In real
ity, is permanent restriction to the
volume Of traffic and the size of the
ships that use IL.
although it is possible to design
and construct locks adapted to future
transformation into a sea level canal,
that transform alton cannot be made
without serious inconvenience to navi-
cation and at cost so great as to be
excessive. The additional cost of a
sea level canal over that with locks
with summit level Of sixty feet above
the mean tide is $52,462,OO0 This
additional expenditure would be justi-
fed by the advantages secured"

FRANK OGDEN is SHOT AND
KILLED BY CLAUDE
WHISTLER.
DAVIS COUNTY TRAGEDY
Whistler, Who Claims Self Defense,
Says Ogden Came to His Home
Saying He Was Looking for Trouble
.--WhisIer Under Arrest.

Bloomfield, April 8. -(SpeciaI-1
Because he persisted in an unreason-
ing attack in spite of every effort to
pacify him, Frank Ogden, aged %
years, was shot and killed by Claude
Whistler at the latter's home in Fox
township, southwest of Bloomfield. The
fatal shot was fired shortly after sup
per time Saturday night, after Ogden
had spent an hour or more at the
Whistler home and both Whistler and
his wife, according to their testimony
before the coroner, had made every
attempt to quiet him. Whistler came
to Bloomfield yesterday and gave him
self up to the sheriff Of Davis county.
He claims that he shot Ogden in self
defense and because he had insulted
Mrs. Whistler. He has retained Payne
& Sewers as his attorneys.
Ogden Was intoxicated.
According to the testimony given
at the coroner's inquest last evening,
Ogden had been in Moulton Saturday
and became intoxicated. He and
Whistler had had trouble at various
times since Whisler's marriage, and
1T Is said that Ogden was quite inti-
mate with Mrs. Whistler before her
marriage. Ogden recently returned
from a trip to the west and his visit
to the Whistler home Saturday night
was one Of the first times he and
Whistler had met since his return.
Whistler declares that his visitor an
nounced when he reached the house
that he had come for trouble. Seeing
that he was intoxicated, however,
| Whistler says that he and his wife
tried to quiet and pacify him. Mrs.
| Whistler cooked supper and Ogden ac.
cepted an invitation to partake of the
| meal.
First Shot Is Fatal.
| During the meal Ogden was noisy
and insulting, Whistler maintains, and
after supper he renewed his declara
i.tipn. that he had come to the whistler
home looking for trouble. Whistler
took him out Of the house finally and
on the porch the two men came to
blows Whistler says that 1t was then
that he shot Ogden in self-defense. He
says Ogden ran around the house and
fell in the front yard, dying almost I'M
mediately.
| Whistler Surrenders.
Whistler notified the county officials
of the death Of Ogden and the coroner
took charge Of the rem aims. Whistler
then came to Bloomfield and surren
dered to the sheriff. He declared thai
he had killed Ogden in self defense
and because the dead man had insult
ed Mrs. Whistler.
4 Whistler is "a years old and has lived
in Davis county several years. He has
a good reputation though some who
know him say that he is quarrelsome
| He has never before had any serious
/ trouble, however, and his reputation a:
a law abiding citizen has been some
what better than that of Ogden, wht
was known as rather "bad man
when under the influence of intoxi
cants. Ogden was unmarried. Whis
Ter has one child.
