BOOTY Weighed 900 POUNDS
.AND WAS WORTH ABOUT, $3.50
Believed That 1t Was Melted and
Packed Into a Solid in Order That
II Could Be Spirited Away--Much
Mystery Surrounds Affair.

One of the most remarkable and
unique pieces of thievery that has
been known of in recent years is
that of the telephone wires of the
Cumberland Telephone and Telegraph
Company, leading out of this city,
both north and south.
The matter became currently re-
ported upon the streets yesterday
nnt large amount of wire had been
len from the company and many
Pthe reports were very conflicting,
Resulting in both over and under-es-
timating the amount of the steal.
A Daily News reporter called upon
the manager of the Cumberland Com
pany in this city and was informed
that on last Sunday night at an early
hour ten strans of their copper wires
leading out of the city south were
cut for a distance of several lengths
and the wire removed, at point
about two miles below the city, leav-
ing this city without telephone con-
nections with any point south.
Friday night the play was repeated
only the rogues selected point about
two miles north of the city and there
cut the ten strans leading north and
removed several lengths therefrom.
In all about $4,000 feet of wire was
secured which in weight amounts to
about 900 pounds, valued at about 2S
cents per pound, representing a loss
to the company of about $252 to say
nothing of business lost by having
\the lines out of commission.
AS soon as the matter became
known. the local manager took it up
with the general offices of the COM
pany with the result that a private
detective has been assigned to the
case, arrived here yesterday morning
and has been at work on it ever since
with but little result, though at ali
early hour this morning it was
thought that clue had been secured
which would lead to an arrest during
the early hours of today.
One of the greatest mysteries sur
rounding the affair is the manner in
which the miscreants made way with
the wire though it is thought, as the
copper wire when heated to about
120 Fahrenheit becomes very pliable
land could almost be packed into a
? solid piece. that tne Sogues have man
ged to melt the wireint%Q a small

is BELIELED TO REPRESENT
OPINION OF The Commission
Change in the Original Plans Would
Cost Several Additional Millions,
and Would Delay the Completion of
the Big Ditch Year or TWo....
Associated Press.

Washington, October 19-The locks
of the Panama canal must be made
wider than they were originally
planned, if the opinion of the naval
member of the Isthmian canal COM
mission, Lieutenant H. H. Rosseau,
who arrived in Washington direct
from the Isthmus today has any
weight
1t is presumed that he bore this
message from the commission itself,
but that fact could not be definitely
determined, though it is known that
he has a message for the President.
1t is said that the crystalization of
sentiment in favor of locks to accom-
modate larger craft is largely due to
the success of the steamer Luscitania,
which recently demonstrated the feas
ibility of the navigation and useful
ness of larger ships.
If the canal is to be widened so as
to accommodate vessels of the Lus
ciatania type, it is said that the
change iii the locks will involve the
expenditure of many additional mil
lions by the government. 1t is also
probable that the change would de-
lay the completion of the canal for
two or three years.

The Second Alarm Turned In.
~ Hardly had the horses been re-
turned to their stalls from their first
run when another alarm was turned
in which called the whole department
to the Palace Restaurant on, Front

The whole department answered
this call on the jump because it came
from the business district and the
promptness in arriving on the scene
was most favorably commented on.
The blaze was caused by burning
grease from vessel on the range in
the kitchen which fared up and
caught the paper on the walls of the
room, creating aKoeed deal of smoke.

their laws from violence at the hands
of the Federal courts and condemned
