NEW SITE FOR CANAL LOCKS
About 100000 Will Be Saved by
Selecting Mirahores.

President Roosevelt approved the
change in the location of the Panama
canal locks about ten days ago, simply
indorsing his approval of the commits
sion's recommendation. TWO locks are to
be constructed at Mirafores. and the es-
innate is that the cost VII be sS,C0ooQD
less than if they were built at Sosa,
which location mad been under considera-
ton for some time At Aiirdflores there is
a range of hills which viii serve as con-
siderable protection from any lombard
rncnt that N ght be attempted by hostile
fleet.
Secretary Taft had the following to say
about the location of the locks at Sosa
hin in February 1906. when he trans
mitted to the President the report of the
board of consulting engineers for the
Panama canal convened by the executive
order of June "A. 1901:
THE great objection to the locks at
Sossl Hill is the possibility of their de-
strUct.ou by the fire from an enemy s
ships If. as has been suggested to me by
officers of this department entitled to
speak with authority on military subjects,
these locks may be located against and
behind Sosa Hill in such a way as to use
the hill as a protection against such fire.
then economy would lead to the retention
of this lake. The lake would he useful to
commerce as Il means for rel ewing any
possible congestion in the canal should
the traffic be very great, and would give
in case of need, place for concentra ting
or shelterinS the fleet. II, however, Sosa

lection, then il seems to me wiser to Mace

MAKE A PREDICTION.
Cold, Bad Weather Expected by the
Riven Men.

The warm weather of yesterday is. the
rivermen say. a weather breeder and
they are looking for cold, bad weather
generally within the next few days The
master of one. of the large two -masted
schoorers in port here was yesterday hur-
ryng an order for provisions so that he
could get away as soon as possible. as he
was fearful that if he fingered in
port here twenty-four hours, the cold
weather would arrive and form ice thick
enough on the river to give him trouble
when he attempted to take his vessel
through it.
Men who have followed the water since
they were boys say that warm day like
yesterday in the latter part of December
when the air should be cold and frosty
means bad weather to follow close on it.
and they say that the cold, bad weather is
as sure TO come as is the sun showing
again. If these predictions be true. and
the rivermen are firm believers In it, the
outlook is for ice on the river before New
Year day.

HEALTH OF LONDON
LEGISLATION HAS DECREASED
THE DEATH RATE.

Special Cablegram to The Star.
LONDON, December 2S.-The report of
the medical officer of health of the county
of London, dealing with the health of a
population of 4,721,2 for the year 1906.
shows a decrease in the death rate by 30
per cent since the passing of the public
health act of 1891.
London's rate in 1906 was 15.1 per thou
sand, lower than that of any town in
England of over 100000 population ex-
capting Bristol and Leicester 1t is also
lower than that of Paris, st. Petersburg,
Berlin. Vienna, Rome, Copenhagen and
New York.
Epidemic Diseases.
There is a marked difference between
the rate in various districts. Hampstead S
rate is "a per thousand. Finsbury's is
2O.7. F'insbury being one of the over
crowded districts of London. London
shows the lowest infant mortality of all
the towns, excepting Bristol. Neverthe-
less the deaths of children under one
year old are 49, per thousand births. The
deadliest disease is diarrhea.
There were no deaths during the year
from smallpox, of which there We're only
thirty-one cases, the lowest record eX-
cepting in 1899. Scarlet fever, diphtheria
and whooping cough are decreasing in
violence and typus has almost died out.
There Were only four cases of it during
the year, none of them fatal. Typhoid
fever increased. There were 26O deaths
as compared with pa in 1908. The ma
jority of the cases We're traceable to the
consumption OF shellfish. especially
cookies, and to the use of watercrass
Phthisis increased. There were 6I75
deaths from it as compared with Co. in
1905. Cancer is also increasing. 1t was
responsible for 4.JS9 deaths.
-,.ore stringent inspection of food and
milk supplies and the diminution of over
crowding are the most needed reforma-
tionS.

FIELDS CASE APPEAL

SEEKS RELEASE FROM PRISON.

PHILLIP, W. Va, December 2S.-The
transcript and record in the habeas corpus
case of Thomas p. Fields, the Washing
ton, D. c., lawyer, was certified to here

of the United States was allowed by Judge
Dayton of the United States court. A
motion will now be made by the attorneys
for Fields to advance the case for hear
ing in the Supreme Court shortly after the

Fields was sentenced to five years in the
West Virginia penitentiary on a charge of
embezzlement while he was a chancery
receiver in Washington. At the hearing
on an application for writ of habeas cor
pus before Judge Dayton in this city the
writ was denied on the ground that the
federal court of this district had no jurs-
dicton in a case that had been disposed
of in the District of Columbia, where
Fields was tried and convicted.

The committee of one hundred is con-

an appeal from the judgment in this case

opinion such an appeal can be taken direct

this can be done. Every facility to that
end will be accorded the petitioner, and
the entry of the formal judgment will be
postponed until he has been fully advised
in the premises.
Il believe and hold that the statute en-
braces only persons am property that
may come into possession in the future,
after it took effect. and it has no applica-
ton whatever to the case or facts, and
Mr.. Fields should not have been convicted
under its provisions; but. nevertheless,
am constrained to hold, as l held before.
that l have no right to release him on the

! Christmas night Brooklyn headquarters
received from ST. Louis a photograph of
Wolff that had been part of the rogues'
gallery there, with the added informa-
ton that the man accused in Brooklyn
had done several terms in Missouri jails
for petty and grand larceny. Armed with
this information the headquarters de-
tectives went to the man who had stood
as VOLTS bondsman, and demanded that
he be given up.
Wolff when confronted with the evil
dence made a partial confession of his
past record, although he declared that he
was not guilty of the charge that had
been made against him in Brooklyn. He
told the detectives that he had come away
from Chicago, after doing his last SEN
tence there, with the hope that he could
live down the past and lead an honest
life. Wolff was surrendered today and
locked up in the Raymond street jail
Among his effects a bank book denoting
that he has over $1,000 on deposit was
