PANAMA CANAL DISCUSSED

Washington, D. c., Jan. 17.-The
question of the propriety of the 18th
milan Canal commission issuing an
official newspaper for the dissemina-
ton of information about the prog
ress of the work at the Panama canal
caused a somewhat lively discussion
in the hearing before the senate COM
mittee on interoceanic canals today.
There was an echo of the debate in
the senate two years ago, when the
literary bureau conducted by James
Bucklin Bishop, present editor of the
Canal Record, was roundly scored as
a government institution that had
no right to exist, and which eventu-
ally resulted in promise to cease
publication in the face of an amend
ment by Senator Culbertson abolish
ing the bureau. Senator Culbertson
today intimated that the promise had
not been kept.
While Col. Cocktails was being
questioned as to canal work by va
rious members of the committee,
Senator Culbertson asked to have

FALSE ALARM
No Foundation For Report
That Evans Flagship
Had Sunk

Rio de Janerio, Jan. II. - The
American battleship fleet was Joined
today in the llarbor of Rio de Janerio
by the torpedo boat fiotilla, number
ing six vessels, which arrived from
Pernambuco and anchored near the
sixteen big battleships.
There was considerable surprise,
and not little amusement among
the officers of the battleship fleet, as
well as among the people of Rio de.
Janerio over the numerous inquiries
scabled here from the United States
during the day, asking for informa-
ton regarding the reported disaster
to the battleship Connecticut. VS..
At first the inquiries were mystify-
ing to those to whom they were adj
dressed as the rumor of mishap to
the Connecticut did not originate
here, and at the time the frenzied in
quiries were being telegraphed from
the United States all the ships of the
fleet were lying peacefully in. the
harbor in plain view from the shore.
Finally it became clear that a rumor
of an accident originated in the
United States and had been widely
circulated.
The above dispatch from Ric de
Janerio thoroughly establishes the
falsity of the sinister rulnor circu-
lated in many American cities today
as to grave catastrophe to the
American fleet. The rumor was sys-
tematically distributed from Boston
to San Francisco, number Of the
| newspapers being misleal into print
'lg the report which was not only
81 oundless but was calculated to ex
cite the gravest alarm among the
friends and relatives of thousands of
officers and men aboard tire Ameri-
can ships.

CROWD CAN'T HEAR
EVELYN THAW'S STORY
Jerome Continually Breaks Thread Of Her Story Until
Noisy Part Is Reached and Then He Moved
for an Executive Sessidne

New York, Jan. IA series of
surprises brought the Thaw trial near
a crisis today. Both Exelyn Thaw,
wife and Mrs. VIM. Thaw, mother of
the defendant were on the witness
stand, and just as the former was
about to relate anew the story of
her life, as she told it to Thaw in
Paris in 1903, District Attorney Jer-

of public morals all persons save
those Immediately interested in the
case be excluded from the court
room.

right to an open hearing was con-

court might suggest. The proceed

.LUMBERMEN
Who BUCKED
ARE NOW free

Minneapolis, Jan. 17-Demurrers to
indictments against nineteen promi-
nent lumbermen charging conspiracy
to defraud were upheld in the feder-
al district court today by Judge Will
liam Lochren. The indictments were
based upon the issuance and opera
ton of a plan in which the so-called
shttle black book" was an import
ant factor. It was designed to bad
ger catalog house competitors and to
pile upon them useless and costly
correspondence, both through asking
many questions and through numer-
Gus requests for expensive catalogs.
Judge Lochren heard counsel for but
one OF the indicted lumbermen and
upheld the demnrrers, which ends
the prosecution.

How Sunshine Warns Us.

The effect of the suns rays is de-
termined by two circumstances
the length Of time during which
they act continuously and their di-
rection. When the sun is farthest
from the earth, as is the case in
summer, it is daily above the hori-
zon for a much longer time than it
is when nearest, as at the winter
solstice. This continuous action In
tensifes the heat, and, the nights be-
ing short, but little of the heat is
given off during the SUMS absence
In summer again the suns rays
reach us in a more vertical direc-
ton, and, the days being longer than
the nights, more heat is absorbed
than radiated. In winter, the sun
ascending to a less elevation, the
rays reach US more obliquely, and,
the days being much shorter, the re-
suit is that more heat is radiated
than absorbed.

ture and Goodness.
Mr.. Bankson was telling a story
of maritime adventure. AS he ad-
vanced in it, says a writer in the
New York Sun, his fellow club
members gathered around him and
acquired delicious thrills. A storm
was evidently about to break. He
had told how banks of cloud appear
ed in the west and massbd them
selves there, and he went on:
ut was no time to be at sea. |
knew that at high water there
would be trouble.
"The light breeze failed. l had
all sail set, but could not keep
steerage way. simply drifted with
the tide. The surface Of the sea
was like glass.
GA white fringe of clouds rapidly
advanced and hid the dull leaden
bank below them. [ knew what
that meant. / overhauled my
ground tackle, keeping an eye all
the time on the storm coming up
against the direction in which the
wind had blown before the calm
fell.
"Suddenly a ripple appeared on
the water beneath the cloud. The
sails of the vessels up to windward
dropped as if the halyards had been
cut. Men scurried about the decks.
ga yellow rufie appeared upon
the water and advanced like an ex-
press train. Beyond it was solid
wall of rain, split by streaks Of
lightning, and there was peal after
peal of thunder.
81 tried to head the craft so that
che would take the gale head-on,
but it was no use. The ripple on
the water, following closely the vel
low foam, was upon me.
'What was I to do? I could let
sail go on the run, drop the an
Choir, pay out all my line and hang
on. But what if the gale should be
SO stiff that she wouldn't lie to it ?
Then / would have to buoy my an
Choir and scud with bare poles until
it blew itself out. While | went
over this in my mind it came to the
instant when something had to be
done"
Bankson paused at this thrilling
moment.
'Wen," demanded a listener,
f'what did you do?"
81 got out" said Bankson. 'SWith-
out another moments hesitation ]
stepped overheard, took the canoe
under my arm and walked ashore
