alarmed when they heard what the
trouble was. The revolver was not Sc

SMALL. CHANCE
or INVADING
PANAMA
Big Canal Could Be Made
Practically Impregnable,
Says GOethaIs.

WASHINGTON Jan. 22.-At the
hearings of the Senate committee on
interoceanic canals. which continue to-
day, Colonel Goethals gave assurance
that the Panama Canal, when COM
pleted, would be reasonably safe from
military invasion, and said that the
chances of the Gripping of the canal
by spies armed with dynamite will be
very small providing armed guards
are maintained at the Miratiores and
Gatun locks.
The locks themselves, Colonel Goeth-
ais explained, are located sufficiently
far from either coast to render them
safe from naval attacks. The Gatun
lock is located seven miles from the
Atlantic and the Miraflores lock eight
miles from the Pacific. Shells fired
bindly over this distance, in the op1n-
ion of the commission chairman, would
do very little harm. He said that per-
haps the most vital point along the
canal will be the Gatun lock, where an
injury to the sluice gates would cause
the water to be let out of the lake.
This noint could be easily guarded,
however
YIN response 10 queselohS Wy oehaS'i
Brandegee, Colonel Goethals said that
average ships would probably be able
10 pass through the canal in less than
eight hours. He said there would be
plenty of room for ships to pass except
possibly in Culebra cut, and also that
more than one vessel could occupy a
lock at the same time.
The entire United States feet" said
lfs "can be accommodated at one time
in Gatun Lake, when completed"
In discussing the financial needs of
, the Canal Commission during the next
fiscal year, Colonel Goethals said that
1t was necessary to have sSa, ,40S, 1853, an
increase of more than $5,000,000 over the
appropriation of last year. The en-
largement Is mainly due to increase of
work.

result will be foregone concluslon'
others insist that as was the case
last year, that it will take the running
of the last race to decide the winner
Yesterday was day filed with ex-
element as far as the Iowa intercol-
lesiate association was concerned. The
postponement of the Olympic trials,
the news that Huff, the star Grinnell
sprinter's eligibility was being ques-
toned by the A. A. U. in Chicago, the
Craven case brought up oy Simpson
at the meeting of the games commit
tee, all stirred up the athletes and
those who accompanied them to fe-
Yer pitch.
The Preliminaries.
There was hardly what could be
called a real race in the prelmnarleS
yesterday. In every event the winners
outclassed the rest of the field, and in
some of the events the three leaders
were barely running at the finish.
Perhaps the best race of the after
noon was in the first heat OF the 22O-
yard dash 1t had been agreed that
only two should qualify in this heat.
AS there were live fairly fast men In
the event there was a real sprint until
near the 200 yard mark. The time,
which was 23 20, was about the fast
est comparative time of the afternoon.
There were preliminaries in only
four events. the 100, 220 the low hur-
dies and the 440 There were so few
to start in the high hurdles and the
pole vault that the preliminaries were
dispensed with.
In both the 100 and 220 Green of
Ames showed that his great work at
the Missouri Valley meet was not
mere chance, as he finished well up IN
both of his races without the sllght-
est trouble. He can be figured In the
results today. Miller of Iowa ran a
strong race yesterday in both events
and can be figured upon for points.
Turner of Grinnell, on his showing
yesterday in the 100 will hardly place.
But he looks very good in the 440 and
will land in either first or second place.
Hammer of Iowa ran a nice quarter
mile yesterday.
On the hurdles Ames, 3rinnell and
Morningside did the best work. In the
low hurdles each of the schools men
toned got two men in the finals Sim
ons of Iowa fell in the second prelim-
mary and left but three TANNERS, who
practically walked. to the finish.
The track yesterday WAS fast, and

The meager supplies arriving this
week have not been sufficient to ma
terially change prices from a week ago
However, there were still plenty of
cattle to fill demands. and had there
been moderate run here it is prob
able lower prices would have ruled.
Farmers who have good pastures and a
few stock cattle are not inclined t.
ship, and this is likely to be the case
for several weeks. Cattle will take on
flesh fast in the good pastures which
now abound everywhere and local
traders look for small receipts. Most
buyers here of late have come from
the eastern territory and took the $50
to 500 lib grades largely, while getting
a few lots Of good soo-lb feeders, but
the killers have usually been willing
to pay more for such kinds than coun-
try buyers.

are putting up large sums of money on

Grinnell, Drake, Ames, Iowa Cornell,

dreds of students in Des Moines to
take part in the nineteenth annual

all college events has drawn the big
gest and most enthusiastic crowd in
Its history.
The meet will start at o'clock. The

probably be along towards 6 o'clock

There still exists great uncertainty as
to the outcome of the meet. Some say
that before the meet is half over the
