tic raft which navigated the Washington
skies last summer and was known
everywhere as The Times airship.
Strobel IS the owner Of the designs
and patents OF the airships Of this type.
Recently he and lincoln Beachey. who
navigated The Times airship while It
was here and maie many remarkable
trips to and from the Munsey building.
went to Mexico and gave a series Of
exhibitions IN the CITY OF Mexico. They
not only had a remarkable reception

AS a result President Diaz invited
them - give a private demonstration
Of the workings Of their craft for the
benefit Of himself and his cabinet This
was made with much care and detail.
and satisfied the Mexican officials that
the Strobel ship would be CT great util-
ity to the Mexican COVE -nment for

APPROVES HIDING
OF CANAL LOCKS
Those on Pacific Side Will
Be Placed Behind
Hill.

President Roosevelt has approved the
recommendation of Colonel Goethals,
chief engineer OF the Panama Canal,
concerning the location OF the locks at
the Pacific end of the canal, and they
will be placed at Mirafores. or behind
Sosa Hill, four miles inland. instead
OF at Ia Boca. on the Bay Of Panama,
as was at first intended. This change
will put the locks in a much better
strategic position and will save $780,
600 in the total cost OF construction.
The change is by no means a radical
one, but was decided upon after care
tul consideration OF four different
projects. 1t has been shown through
the sinking OF trial pits that much
better foundation can be obtained there,
as bed rock can be easily reached, while
az Ia Boca, where the mud is much
deeper. 1t would require much more
cement. labor and material TO make the
construction good From a military
standpoint the placing Of the locks
behind Sosa Hill Is a necessity. for II
they were placed on the bay at La
BOca they would offer a fine target for
a hostile feet. and a few minutes firing
would put the canal out of commits
sion
1t viii also permit Of easy access to
the lake at Mirahores, which would
make a fine sheltered rendezvous for
the feet in time Of war. The new
plans are identical with those OF the
old French company
