ALL TALK OF CANAL
Possibility Of Widening 1t
Causes Much Comment.
OFFICIALS KNEW ABOUT IT
waiting for Commission to Make
recommendation, and There Is
Much Speculation as to what De-
CisiOa the President and Secre-
tary of War Taft VIII Reach.

Panama Canal Commissioner r. II.
RoUsseau's official notice that the Pana-
ma Canal locks must be widened TO
something more than 100 feet was the
cause OF much comment I'm naval and
military. as well as congressional. circles
here yesterday.
That the canal should be wider is
something that has been known in Off
Cial circles for some time. but it has
been question whether or not the mem
bers Of the commission would make such
a recommendation at this time
The decision Of Secretary Taft and the
President concerning the matter VIII De
awaited with much interest. particularly
as bearing on the question of the size OF
warships of the future. With vessels of
the type of the Delaware. which has q
beam OF - feet. inches. the clearance
i'm the locks IS something less than seven
and a-hah feet, and If it is decided the
locks shall rot be widened it will bee
taken In some quarters to mean that the
Navy Department is not greatly en-
thused over the proposition of building
sea monsters that win greatly exceed
in size those of the present time.
That the widening Of the locks would
entail the necessity Of much greater ap-
preparations Is also believed, and wheth-
er the committee on appropriations would
feel inclined to make such provision is a
question. 1t is known that in the House
committee there has been more OF less
opposition all along TO a lock canal, the
belief being that the ditch should be put
through az sea level In this connection.
900. It is pointed out that the Suez Canal,
at sea level. has been found TOO narrow
for the growing ships. and is being
wldened 20 1i6 feet.
Another Important Matter.
Another question that win have to be
decided is whether or not the engineering
feat of providing the masonry for the
wideacd locks viii DE possible on the
soil that underlies the country there.
This is a matter that has been one of
the much-mooted ones since the canal
was started, bat good engineers decided
the foundation was sufficient TO warrant
the heavy work necessary for the retain
ing walls.
In this connection, il is anticipated that
the House Committee on Appropriations
viii take advantage of their coming
visit to the isthmus to look into the
proposition as suggested by Mr.. Rous-
seau. who is known as competent
engineer.
The committee VIII sail from New York
on October 81. to be gone about three
weeks The trip is being made at the
suggestion Of the War Department, for
the investigation of the accounts of the
department Of labor and supplies and
the question of labor and supplies.
Practically all the Republican mem
bers have signified their intention of
making the trip. bat a number of the
Democratic members will not go, accord
ing TO adviceS received here from Chair
man TaWuey. Among these are Brun-
dige. of Arkansas, and Livingston, of
Georgia owing 70 poor health. Brown
low. Of Tennessee. will not make the
trip.

VACANT HOUSES ROBBED.
Two New Visitations Are Reported

by Mr. c. VI. Forrest.
Two more additions 70 the already long
list of yacant-house robberies came to
the notice of the police yesterday when C.
n. Forrest. real estate agent at 612 F street
northwest, reported that thieves had with

Although the property stolen cannot be
compared in any way to the bronze

as much as $4,000. taken from the resi-
dence Of Mrs. Edward F. Qualtrough,
wife of Commander Qualtrough, Of
the United States Navy. AT 1901 f street
northwest they are nevertheless, sufi-
eient 90 remind the police that house
thieves are still busy.
AR Forrest said that, although nothing
Of any great value had been taken from
the house the thieves had made ii a
point 10 break every glass globe and
shade on the gas jets and chandeliers.
II is the opinion that the thieves
were Of a different class OF criminals
from those who appropriated the bronzes
in the Qual,rough mansion.

Like Finding Money.

1t is quite unusual to be able to buy
hfty-cent pieces for quarter, but that is
what this offer really means, for it is
only recently through the solicitation of
Druggist milford r. Burt that this med
icine could be bought for less than fifty
cents. He urged the proprietors to allow
him to sell it as this reduced price for a
little while, agreeing to sell certain
amount. The result has justified his
good judgement, for the sale has been
something remarkable.
Anyone who suffers with headache,
dyspepsia, dizziness, sour stomach. specks
before the eyes, or any liver trouble,
should take advantage of this opportun-
ity, for DIR. Towards specific will cure.
But if by any chance it should not, Null
ford r. Burt will return your money.
The specific is very pleasant to take,
coming in the form of small granules,
and there are sixty doses in every pack
