SAYS STEVENS
EXAGGERATED
NEW CANAL CHIEF CASTS RE-
ELECTIONS ON HIS PREDE-
cESsoR.
HIS FIGURES WERE FALSE
COCKTAILS DECLARES DIRT WILL
HAVE TO BE MOVED SECOND
TIME.

Washington, April 24-Serious re-
Elections have been cast by Maj. G. w.
Goetha1s. the chief engineer of the
| Panama canal. upon the work done by
his predecessor. John F. Stevens.
Mai. Goethals charges in an official
communication to the war department
that the reports made by Former
Chief Engineer Stevens. regarding the
large amount of dirt excavated from
the Panama canal are not accurate
and are not in accordance with facts.
Maj. Goethals declares that instead
of the figures representing the work
actually done they are based on the
estimates of the capacity of the steam
shovels and how much work they
should perform each month. These
figures did not cover the days when
the shovels were idle or were being re-
paired.
Estimates Are Wrong.
These estimates, says Maj Goethals,
were made on loose earth after it was
excavated and the measurements
were not accurate. He has also for
warded to the war department a pro-
file survey which, he says, demon
strates the TACT that much of the dirt
that has been excavated has been
dumped in wrong places and will have
to be removed again, the purpose hav-
ing apparently been to push the exca-
vators to their limit SO as to make
record, regardless of effectiveness of
work Maj. Goethals concludes with
strong recommendation that the work
of excavating the canal should be let
out to contract.
Denies Such Mistakes.
When questioned regarding the
charges made by Maj. Goethals, Mr.
Stevens said he was certain that his
successor did not make the statements
attributed to him. There are many
reasons why he does not believe the
statements. the main one being that it
is impossible to make the mistake
charged Stevens said that the esti-
mates on the excavation were simply
a matter of figuring the cross-section-
ing, which process was infallible.

LAKE BARGE LOST

LUMBER CRAFT BOUND FOR TWO
RIVERS WRECKED ON LAKE
MICHIGAN.
WRfCKAGF is WASHED ASHORE
ENTIRE CREW AT BOTTOM OF
LAKE EITHER THROUGH Ex-
PLOSiON OR STORM.

Manistee, Mich, April "a. - The
wooden lumber barge Arcadia, which
left this port April II for Two Rivers
with cargo Of hard wood, has been
lost in Lake Michigan with her cap
tain and owner, Harry May, and about
thirteen others. Marine men here
would not be surprised to hear that
her wreck was caused by boiler ex-
plosion. Some hold the theory that
she went down as the result of the big
storm of April ID.
While it has been impossible to
learn absolutely how many persons
were on the wrecked barge, it is gen.
orally believed that the number was
between ten and fifteen, with a major
ity of the reports agreeing on four

 The Age-Herald. however, doesn't s- sire to be imposed upon. Frequent. erroneous reports have been furnished the sporting department intentionally.
 Yesterday, for instance, someone furn- ished the result of game played be- tween the Birmingham High school and "a picked team" It was stated that the High school batted Schultz all over the field, that Streit pitched an excellent game, striking out seventen mem
 In letter to the sporting editor yes- terday R. H. Ploeger. manager of the Richmond team. says that team referred to was the Richmond team, that Schults pitched a much better game than Streit, that Streit struck out but four men, and that Richmond punctured hls delivery for six home runs.
 Into the relative merits of the two re- ports no inquiry Is intended. However, no other amateur games will be published in The Agc-Herald unless they arc brought into the office and signed by the manager of the team that wins. No games will be taken over tho telephone.

Shreveport. May 15-(Special 1.-The Ba- rons trimmed Shreveport this afternoon in a game that was, at times. brilliant.
 Wilhelm was on the slab for the Barons and for eight innings was exceedingly ef- fective, holding the locals to four hits, scattered well, and one score. In the ninth. having the game won by score of to 1, the Birmingham star eased down. In consequence. the Pirates landed safe five times, enough bingles to net five runs. The game ended In Birmingham's favor. the final score being to 6.
 The day was cool and crisp. The play CTS, in front of eight hundred shiverng fans, played with ginger and snap. The Barons, in spite of their crippled condi- ton, played errorless ball. and this, coupled with the excellent of Wilhelm's benders. made a victory for the Pirates a matter of imposslbility.
 Becker started the game but at the end of two innings Manager Fisher jerked him to cover. Graham relieved him. The Barons had the game by this time, however, and the change resulted in little good.
 Pirates Made Errors.
 In the first inning. the Barons scored two runs. Molesworth flied out, Smith Qpok first when Becker hit him in the Glats, and Gardner went out easily. Mont gomery doubled. however. and Smith prossed the slab with the first run Lis sisr hit to shortstop and Carr threw the han far enough away for Montgomery to eOore>

 In the ninth inning the fireworks opened. Wilhelm, seeing that the game belonged to the Barons easing up, Topped them oyer There were five hits in suc- cesson, which netted five runs. This was not enough, however, and the cheers froze In the throats of the hundreds seat ed about the field
 In the ninth the Barons added one other to their list. Gardner started the inning with double to right Montgomery bunted safe to the infield and Gardner went to third. Garvin hit one too hot for Carr This scored Gardner.

The first proposition, and the one that Vaughn sticks to. Is Rip Ragan and Montgomery In exchange for Graffius and Hickman, catcher and pitcher. This deal promised of success, but, at the eleventh hour, a counter proposition was made-Ragan and Alcock for the two Shreveport players. The salary limit pre- vented the consummation of this deal, and 1t fell fiat. The original proposition was renewed. Montgomery wants to come to this city, where he played in 1901.
 A definite answer was promised by Shreveport tonight, but, instead of an agreement an understanding was reach cd that Manager Fisher would notify

 If 4he deal finally goes through Bir- mingham fans will be surprised at a gen. eral skake-up in the lineup of the Barons when they return home. This deal will send Alcock to third as a regular, and Meek to first.
 Three of the Barons were fined $25 each by Manager Vaughn here for in- fractions of the rules. The team poet has written a song, "Twenty-five Dol lars For You" which is sung in quar- tette effect by Ragan. Alcock, Garvin and Lister, although only one of these was fined
