JOHN F.. STEVENS
Expects the Canal to Be Open il
1915.

| COLON, April John F. Stevens
formerly Chief Engineer of the Pana
ma Canal, was given a splendid send
off last night previous to his depar
ture today for the United States. The
reception was held on Pier IL, Crysto-
bal, w. G. Bierd, General Manager
of the Panama Railroad, acted as
Chairman.
Mr.. Stevens, in a speech, modestly
gave John F. Wallace, whom he sue
ceeded as Chief Engineer, the credit
for the organization of the work. This,
Mr.. Stevens declared, he had modi-
fed only when necessary. He said
the preparations deemed necessary
two years ago we're underestimated,
and, though the working force had
since been doubled, they still were
inadequate. But now, he declared, the
machinery had been completed, homes
had been provided for $50, 900 persons,
there were railroad facilities for hand
ling over million yards of earth a |
month, and the organization was so
advanced that it was possible to car.
ry on the work In both wet and dry
seasons. He said he firmly believed
the canal will be opened lin January,
1915. He did not seek the position,
md was leaving 1t of his own volition.
Mr.. Stevens asked his loyal friends
lot to take their complaints to Wash
ngton, but to make them to Major
ioethals, the new Chairman OF the
lanai Commission, for whom he so
lcited the same loyalty as had been I
hown him.
Just before sailing at noon today, |
fir. Stevens was presented with a
wo.volume testimonial, signed by I
and other employees OF the {
anal, expressing their loyalty to him. 1
he employees also subscribed for I
lree gifts intended to be handed
own by Mr. Stevens to his three +

SUP
PLANTING FARMING

1t looks as though the phosphate
business IS, to supplant farming in this
section of the country. Every day
farmers from different localities bring
specimens of rock to the city for COM
parison-some of low grade, while
a few are Of the best quality. Mr..
Frank Dooley has discovered a good
deposit on his place, and has had ex-
perts to examine the find. While the
specimens thus far brought in fail to
come up to the average, it Is hoped
further prospecting will reveal the
fact that his place abounds with phos-
phate Of good quality.

THAW SANE
SAY EXPERTS
TRIAL WILL Be RESUMED MON
DAY PROVIDED COMMITS
SIoNs REPORT Is
ACCEPTED.

NEW YORK. April Harry X
Thaw today was declared sane by th'
unanimous report of the commission
in lunacy appointed to inquire into his
present mental conditions.
The moment the decision was hand
ed down from Justice Fftzgerald's
desk, District Attorney Jerome was
on his feet vigorously protesting
against its confirmation by the court
He charged that he had been excluded
from the last session of the commits
sion and demanded to be allowed to
have access to the minutes and
stenographic notes of what transpir-
ed at the final mental and physical
examination of the defendant
When Justice Fitzgerald declined to
turn the minutes over to the District
Attorney, Mr.. Jerome declared he
would carry the case to the Appellate
Division of the Supreme Court, asking
that a writ of prohibition, or that
mandamus be granted to prevent
of the Thaw trial until
the higher court had ruled upon the
legality of the commissions course.
Justice Fitzgerald reminded Mr.. Je-
rome that he had waived the statu-
tory right of attending the last ses-
sion of the commission by suggesting
himself that all the attorneys be ex-
GUIDED from the sitting in question
Adjourns Till Monday.
He then granted the District Attor
ley an adjournment until Monday /
next in order that he might
lave time to prepare his application
o the Appellate Division. Mr.. Jerome
that the time was not suf-
icient, but Justice Fitzgerald cut him
hort with the announcement that the
rial must be concluded forthwith.
Unless Mr.. Jerome should secure a
yrit Of prohibition in the meantime,
ustice Fitzgerald is expected to an
ounce on Monday morning that he i,

The first thing the practicable poul
tryman thinks Of after completing his
poultry house, are the things TO go in
it. So will try and give few ideas
about making and attending to the
different appliances so necessary tC
the sensible poultry breeder.
New tangled, high-priced contriVan.
ces are by no means necessary if you
know how to use tools and have the
patience to work with them. Now, to
those who contemplate making new
arrangements, will give few points
on it. OF course, you have to pay out
a little money, but not one-tenth as
much as you would have to do were
you to buy these articles from some
store. don't mean to insinuate that
bought appliances are not good, but
/ do mean to insinuate that home
made one are just as good, and some
times a good deal better.
Roosts.
First, l will say a few words about
the roosts, the most important fix
ture in a poultry house. Roosts for
all breeds, except Asiatics, should not
be over feet in height, and those for
Asiatics not over two feet. Don't
have them too small A 2x4 is not
too large. BY all means have move
able roosts, as in this way they can
be taken down and cleaned when nee
essary. If your roosts are 2x4 take
a piece of board Z inches in length
and inches high. Measure IL
inches from each edge and draw
line. Then measure down 21a inches
from each line and saw out the section
made by these lines. In this way some
very useful and serviceable Cheats |
can be made Cleats of about ~ or |
2 inches thickness are best. Have
the roosts clean and smooth, as splin-
tiers are very injurious to the fowls. |
BE sure you have enough roosts and
have them all on the same level.
Nests.
Trap nests are used at the present
day by large numbers Of poultry breed
ers, and as directions for their use
are sent out with each nest, will not
iwell on this subject, but will say
} few words about plain nests that
may be beneficial to beginners or 9TH
ers who cannot afford the trap nests.
