New York, May 3.-Further endors-
ment of the lock type of canal and as
surances of the stability of the Gatun
dam are voiced here by members OF
the Congressional party which re-
turned on the steamer Panama after
an unofficial inspection of the canal
kone. Most of them expressed them
selves as delighted with their expeci-
ence, and a number were outspoken in
their praise of the work being accom-
plished on the canal.
Representative Michael Conroy
said: Many of us left New York
with the idea that the sea level sys-
TEN of canal construction should have
been adopted in preference to the
lock system; but after personally in
speeding the great work and familiar
izing ourselves with the conditions on
the ithmus, all of us, feel safe to
say, return convinced that the lock
system is the better of the two and
should be carried through to compile
ton"
Representative William Darius
Jameson of Iowa said the alarming
reports circulated concerning the
stability of the Gatum dam had alb
solutely no foundation.

NILES INSOLVENCY CASE
Hearing Today at the Probate Office
Creditors in Attendance

There is a hearing in progress at
the probate office today in the case
of Martin S. Niles, former resident
of SALISBURY, now living in Troy. Mr.
Niles became involvent in 1895 before
the United States court of bankrupt
cy was established, but the estate
could not be settled at that time for
the reason that Mr.. Niles father, Da-
vid Niles, had a life lease on the
property involved.
The elder Niles died something less
than two years ago and it is now pos
sible to take action in the case.
The hearing today, which is being
attended by number of creditors
from SALISBURY, is being held before
Probate Judge Il. c. Bennett. When
the national bankruptcy law went into
effect it provided that all pending ca
SEES should be completed by the then
existing court of insolvency which was
the probate court.
