CANAL TOO NARROW
Big Panama Ditch Nay Have
to be Widened.
WAR DEPARTMENT NOTIFIED
ships of Type of the DrcadnOUEht,
It Is Said, Could NOt Pass Through
Gives Out the First Information.
Mr.. BigeIow May Be Irritated.

That the Panama Canal viii have % be
widened 20 something more than 100 feet,
the breadth now proposed in the locks, is
the information officially made to the
War Department yesterday through the
Canal Commissioners.
It IS said that ships Of the type of the
Dreadnought would have a hard time
making their way through locks OF the
contemplated size, and that vessels larger
than some of the projected ones of S5-feet
beam could only get through with great
est difficulty.
This disclosure comes as distinct news
to the reading public. but that it has been
known for some time among those inter
ested in the work Is evidenced in the fact
that the Canal Record. a paper published
on the isthmus in the interests of the
government workers, cited the fact in its
issue Of October >. last
1T will irritate Poultney Bigelow. "
says the Record, "to learn that the Pan
anna Canal is too narrow. He had not
thought of that
Mr.. Bigelow however. saw the issue of
the paper, and yesterdays issue of a
New York newspaper contained a letter
from Bigelow. in which he claimed the
credit of discovering the fact that the
big ditch would not be wide enough as
planned.
Evidently, officials In the War Depart
ment had not given serious thought 10
the necessity for the widening of the
canal until the matter was laid before
them yesterday.
1t Is understood the War Department
will keep hands of the matter until Presi-
dent Roosevelt returns home. when the
matter will be presented to him for de-
CiSiOn.
In the face of his well-known views on
the matter and the decision Of the mem
bers OF the commission that the widen
ing must be done. officials who are will

ROADS AT ODDS
Open Break is Near Because Of Fines
Imposed fol- Late Mail Trains.

Imposed for Late Mail Trains.
Chicago, Aug. Western railroads
are near an open break with the post
office department over the transporta-
tion Of the mails, owing to several re-,
cent orders. The latest cause Of griey-
anee il the imposition Of heavy fines on
nearly all the roads for delay in deliv-
ering the mails
TO consider the situation number Of
railroad officials held an important con-
ference here yesterday. One official de-
clafed that the fines levied BIZ the gov
eminent against his road had in one
quarter amounted to $4,000. A simig
lar condition on other roads was re.
ported.
The fines were assessed under rule
which went into effect in July, 1906. The
roads are amazed to find that they are
in danger Of losing Is per cent Of their
mail pay unless they revise schedules
and place their mail trains upon running
time which they know they can maintain
in all seasons and in all kinds Of
weather.
The new rule, the roads declare, Il OPP
pressive and unjust. 1t provides that if
during a period Of ninety days, the road
during period og ninety days. the road
shall be assessed Is per cent Of the pay
Of that route for the quarter. Under the
speed standards as now established, rail
road men declare, it viii be marvel for
almost any Of the big western systems to
escape having their important mail
trains late more than ten times In nine
ty DAYS.
