There has been much said in this

BURGLARS AGAIN
AT WORK in CITY
Tools Stolen from Second Hand Store Used in Entering
Elks Club and Breaking Open the Cash Register
Also Attempted to Enter Residence

About S O'Clock last night officers
of the Salvation Army while in their
barracks on West Main street heard
crash of broken glass. They i'm
mediately ran around the rear of
their building, which is just east of
the c. f. Bond second hand store,
and they saw two men-a tall man
and a short man-running away
from the rear of the second hand
store.
Investigation revealed the fact that
small window in the rear of the
store had been demolished, and the
guilty men had run their hands
through the opening into the work
shop of the store and secured one
hammer. two files, two chisels and
two screw drivers.
The broken window was nailed up
by Mr.. Bond as soon as he was noti-
fed. and Chief of Police O'Neil was
informed of the occurrence.
The chief of police remarked that
whoever stole the tools from the sec
ond hand store were bent on perpe-
trating a burglary or two of a more
serious nature. and the night police
were warned to be exceedingly care
full during the nfgIr; and they were.
but detected no attempt at burglary.
This morning early, Mrs. Bond, the
wife of the owner of the second hand
store, informed Chief O'Neil that at
about 2 o'clock last night she heard
man attempting to break into the
Bond home, which is just across the
street from the store. The man evil
IDENTIFY became frightened and fed.
This morning, under window of the
home, was found one of the tools stol-
en- from tie store.
Later in the morning Chief O'Neil
was called to the Elis Club rooms and
there found that thieves had gained
| entrance by forcing door into the
rooms during the night, and had
made an attack on the cash register.
| They did not know how to work the
| keys of the register, and proceeded
to use the chisels, files and screw
drivers. They took off heavy brass
| plate. then pried away stout wood
| en- bar and got into the money draw
er.
They were disappointed, however
as no money was left in the register
when the manager of the club CLOSED
up last night.
They departed, leaving a file or
| the register which they had badly
| damaged and the file was identified
| by Mr. Bond as being one that was
taken from his workshop.
Evidently the criminals did not
have a very successful night, unless
some burglary that has not come to
light was carried out with more sue
cess.

Mrs. Bond states that yesterday
afternoon two men-one tall and one
short-came into the store when she
was alone. One of them pretended
that he wanted to buy mattress.
The mattresses We're upstairs. Mrs.
Bond declined to go upstairs with one
of the strangers and leave the other
downstairs, as she was somewhat
suspicious, owing to the fact that
short time ago two men went into
a local store, asked to see something
that they knew was in the balcony,
one of the men was taken up to look
at the goods by the proprietor while
the other remained downstairs alone
No sale was made, and after the two
men had departed the storekeeper
found that two valuable watches

Shovel No. 226 made the highest record ever
made on the Canal in eight hours.
Let me quote still further some facts and COM
parative figures from Congressman James R
"a comparison with the work of the French
company is instructive After the French had
been at work three years, in October, 1885, they
took out of what we now know the Culebra cut
$4,000 Gu yds. of dirt. In October just passed
we took out $4,000 GU. yds
The rain fall was about the same as in 1886
During the calendar year 1885, the French took
out Of the Culebra Cut 1857 900 cu. yds while
we removed during the year ending Oct. 31st last
100000 GU. yds
The main excavation made by the French was
not in the Cuebra Cut, but easy work near the
Caribbean sea- Ours has been in the cut and
mostly rock excavation. Mr.. Randolph one of
the board of consulting engineers, estimated the
average capacity of the steam shoyels at $500 yds
a month, while in October last one of our shovels
took out 37,357 yds. of rock and another 39615
of rock and earth.
"At the rate of progress already established the
Culebra Cut easily be excavated within six
years. 1t Is probable that by the spring of 1911
they can turn water into the Gatun lake"
few more comparative figures from the Canal
Record may help make the rate at which the
work is progressing somewhat palmer.
"The average city block is $50 TT. square, The
excavation from the Canal Zone during the month
of November would cover ten city blocks to q
height of forty feet.
"The Pyramid of Cheops, the largest of the
Egyptian pyramids, is 750 feet square at the base
and 451 feet in height 1t is said to have taken the
services of 100000 men 10 years to build road
from the quarry to the pyramid and the same
number of men 20 years to erect the pyramid. The
Canal Commission is moving an amount of ma
terial equal to that contained in this pyramid
every fifty working days, and by the end of the
year 1908 it will probably accomplish the same
feat in a month.

The effect of all this has been most salutary
as the health statistics show Yellow fever
has disappeared, smallpox has been stamped out
and malaria the most difficult foe to overcome has
been brought into subsection in the most remark
able way.
In August 1906 when l landed upon the 18TH
mus, the hospitals full to overfowing,
large tent hospital for smallpox was established
above Colon and the doctors were working over
time in their efforts to keep out the yellow fever
that prevalent all along the coast and in
New Orleans. The conditions then gave consider

He told me of times when the laborers were dying
at such a rate that there were not enough able
bodied living to bury the dead and that many lay
down and died under the trees outside the town

At this time found many of the hospital wards
closed and those which l visited had just enough
patients in them, mostly convalescent to justify
their maintenance.
steady Improvement but suffice it to say that the
death rate per thousand for the month of January,
1908, about thirty per cent less than that for
the corresponding month the year previous.
The wisdom of the men who insisted upon max
ing the sanitary conditions such that men from
this climate could live there with the minimum of
risk has been v1ndlcated over ana over dSdiH
The French had an almost insane desire to make
the dirt fly and in way they did this although
their best rate would seem slow now, but
they made human life fly as well. Such death
rate and such health conditions as maintained
there much of the time during French occupa-
ton were enough to discourage the most sanguine
Since the sanitary conditions have been made
what they should be the actual work upon the
canal has been going at splendid rate.
AS is usually the case when American enter
prise undertakes a great task, American ingenuity
and inventive genius has been busy devising i'm
proyed machinery and methods and the result is
that already the work is progressing at rate far
beyond the most sanguine prophecy.
Another element that has been OF late producing
great results is the spirit of competition. The

rate and doing good work until the best daily and

Negroes, Wanted in Bayonne

Guilt, Police Say.

Edward Groas, of 1872 West Seven
tenth street, New York, and Alfred
Johnson, who says he has no home,
negroes, celebrated their release from
the penitentiary yesterday, according to
the police, by stealing a horse and car
riage in Bayonne a few hours later.
They were arrested here today by Pa
trolman John Deering. Deering saw
them driving through Market street
last night, and when he encountered
them again today at 4 a. m. concluded
to run them in on suspicion.
The police say the prisoners admit
their guilt and that, according to their
statements, they n two other horse
thieves were released from the Hudson
county penitentiary only yesterday.
Groas is said to have stated hat he
and johnson had served a term there
for shooting at a Jersey City police
man when the latter attempted to ar
rest them for demonstrating.
Captain Ryan turned both men over

bureau, to have their pictures taken,

fore being turned over to the Hudson

denies that he in any way championed
Sunday golf playing, or thai the mem

Of the vote is to open the clubhouse
and grounds to members on Sundays,
and that as a result of the vote 1t is

their wisdom, to decide. Should they
find that golf and the like on Sundays
is a violation of the Sunday law, it Is
not probable that they would allow 1t.
