CANAL WORK PLEAsEs VISITORS.
Congressional Committee Sails for
Home Again.

Havana, Cuba. - The American
congressional committee which has
been inspecting the Panama canal ar
rived here from Colon on the steamer
Cristobol. They were received. by
President Gomez and sailed for New
York.
Members of the committee said they
all were greatly pleased with the
progress of work on the canal and be-
lieved it probable that the channel
would be completed and open for traf
fic in advance of the estimated date. 4.
Senator Coe l.. Crawford, of South
Dakota, said all the members of the
committee were highly impressed by
the splendid work of Col. Goethals,
chairman of the canal commission and
chief engineer of the work. They were
convinced, he said, of the d~esirability
of the passage of the bill of Mr.. Mann
vi Illinois, which passed the house DUR
ing the last session of congress. This
bill is designed to reduce the number
of canal commissioners and simplify
the administration, which would give
Col. Goethals a freer hand.

Such was the declaration of Speaker

countries have greatly increased, and

he said, are seeking to hinder the pro-
gress of prosperity by criticism and
denunciation and this, too, within
three months of the enactment of the
tariff law. Only such agitation can
halt the prospective era of prosperity,
said the speaker.

EMIGRATION ALARMS CANADIANS
Estimated That There Are 1000, 900
Persons of Canadian Birth Here.

Washington, d. c.. - Alarm is felt
in Canada over the story of the emf
grafton of Canadian citizens to the
United States. A special dispatch to
the New York Herald from it's Otta-
wa correspondent, says:
Emigration of Canadians to the
United States is assuming large pro-
portions. George Taylor, member of
parliament for Leeds, Ontario, gave
notice today that he would on Thurs.
day inquire of the ministry what steps
were being taken to prevent emigra-
ton to the republic.
"Mr. Taylor calls attention to the
report of Colonel Van SAINT, Ameri-
al consul at Kingston. that that city
during nine months ending Sept. 80,
had lost 500 citizens through emigra-
ton to the United States.
Emigration in that direction Is
larger than generally expected. 1t has
been estimated that there are l,0OO, 900
persons of Canadian birth In the
United States.
"A careful investigation several
years ago showed there were 500, 900
in the New England states alone"

HARD TO SECURE JURY.
May Become Necessary to Drop Night
Rider Case.

Union City, Tennessee.-One juror
dismissed from the box and his
place filled, is the progress made herr
so far in the trial of Garrett Johnson
and Arthur Cloar, two alleged leaders
of the Reel Foot Lake night, riders.
Attorneys for the state and defense
intimated that they did not believe
they would be able to secure a jury
to try the defendants, who are
charged with the murder of Capt.
Quentin Rankin, a member of the
West Tennessee Land Company.
Under the laws of Tennessee the
state cannot ask for a change of venue
and the cases against Johnson and
Cloar, along with the indictments
against alleged night riders, will prob.
ably be dismissed or retired from the
courts docket should it be found i'm
possible to nj a jury. ~
The case was tried once before and
a conviction secured. which was re.
versed by the U. S. Supreme Court.

1926 replies to inquiries sen out by
Surgeon General Wyman to state
health officers and others, having
knowledge of the disease TO deter
mine its geographical distribution.

shown that rabies has been epidemic
in the United States for more than
100 years.

ings from hydrophobia reported from
80 states during 1908. Rabies was re.
ported in the lower animals from at
least 534 localities in 80 states and
