MILLIONS FOR
WORK ON CANAL
PANAMA COMMISSION SUBMITS
ESTIMATE-DUE TO AD-
VANCED STAGE.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 9.-The Pana-
ma Canal Commission has submitted
to the Secretary of War an estimate
of appropriations aggregating $4S,O6o,-
524 for work on the canal during the
fiscal year beginning July 1, 1910. or
the amount asked for $15,504,O36 is
for skilled and unskilled labor, and
s2O.218,983 is for materials and sup
plies used in construction work.
The total appropriations made by
Congress up to this time on account
of the canal are $210,070,46S. Col.
Goethals. the chairman and the chief
engineer of the commission has de-
clared it to be his opinion that the
great waterway will be completed by
January 1, 1915, and has estimated
the total cost at $375,000,000 which,
however, includes the cost of santa
ton and civil government and the
$50, OOO, 900 purchase price.
The unusually large amount asked
for the new fiscal year probably Is due
to the fact that work on the waterway
has entered more advanced stage.

LID ON TIGHT
IN PENSACOLA
ANCIENT SUNDAY LAWS PUT IN
TO FoRCE-NEWsPAPERS AND
FOOD UNDER THE BAN.

PENSACOLA, Fla, Oct. 11.-Sunday
was Blue Sunday in Pensacola, the
Law and Order League enforcing to
the Letter the Folrida laws passed
fifty years ago relating to Sunday law
violations. Not even newspaper or
cigar could be purchased, while those
housekeepers who failed to provide
themselves with bread and neglected
their marketing Saturday had to rely
upon restaurants for their Sunday din
ners. Meat markets, bakeries, fruit
stands. cigar stands, book and news
paper stores, theaters and other class
es of business heretofore wide open
kept closed.
One man defied the laws and the
league-a theater proprietor VINO
opened his doors Sunday afternoon
and ran uninterrupted until the clos
ing hour Sunday night.
The Sheriff, however, refused to act
in making arrests unless members OF
the Law and Order League make am
davits; then he will arrest upon war
rants only.

GIRLS LEG FOUND
In A SUIT CASE
WRAPPED IN A NEW BEDFORD
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
BY A CARRIER.

TIVERTON, r. l., Oct. 12.-The
finding of the severed legs OF woman
in a dress suit case among some bush
es in an outlying section of this town
Monday brought to light what the au-
thorities are convinced is case or
murder. The discovery of New Bed
ford newspaper of yesterdays date
with the portion of the legs is regard
ed as the most important clew thus
far obtained, indicating possibly the
place of the murder, If murder there
was. The authorities were of the
opinion that the woman was muir
dered in New Bedford, that the legs
were placed in the suitcase there and
brought by team or automobile to
Tiverton Sunday night.
According to the medical examiner,
DR.. John Stymson, the supposed MUIR
der was committed not more than
twelve or fifteen hours before the suit
case was discovered. That a murder
was committed and that the cutting
was not done by the experienced
hands of a surgeon or medical stu
dents. is the belief Of an examiner
who says that apparently a common
handsaw was used to sever the limbs
from the trunk.

narrow climb to a height of 1000 feet
at the crest Of mountains which shut
in the wonders Of the Yosemite.
The day was cloudless, the air like
crystal and everywhere was the exhil-
irating scent of pines.

HICKMAN COUNTY
FAIR A SUCCESS

CENTREVILLE, Tenn Oct. Ia
The Hickman County Fair was a sue
cess from every standpoint, the bright
weather inducing the largest atten-
dance yet noted. Evary department
had something of interest to the spec
tators. A feature of the Fair was the
Tuberculosis Eyhibit, under the super
vision of Mrs. G ID. Sullivan, and hun
dreds of people manifested an interest
in what they saw, and doubtless went
away with practical ideas of how to
prevent hte white plague, and how to
treat patients Fresh air, sunshine
and exercise were pointed out as
health rules, and the proper ventila-
ton of sleeping rooms was impressed.
The exhibit is worth much in the cru
SADIE against the spread of consump-
ton.

HEARST TO RUN

THEN HE TAKES TIME TO THINK

NEW YORK, Oct. 8.-Justice VIII
liam ]. Gaynor Thursday accepted &C.
cepted the Democratic nomination for
Mayor of New York. His brief, un-
sensational speech in reply to the noti-
fication committee served also as an
acceptance of the Endorsements of a
number of independent and semi-inde-
pendent organizations whose represen-
tatives were present.
The speech contained no attack on
Tammany Hall, which had been ex-
pected in some quarters. The omis-
sion was brought particularly to pub
lie notice through a statement issued
earlier in the day by William Ran
dolph Hearst, who had declared that
he would yield to the urging of his
friends and run for Mayor on an indie
pendent ticket unless Justice Gaynor
came out with denunciation of Tam

Justice Gaynor regarded this challenge
as one which he would not refuse.
But there was no denunciation OF
anybody in Mr.. Gaynor's speech ex-
cept mildly of Mr.. Barnard, the Re-
publican candidate for Mayor, as a col
lector of campaign contributions.

Mr.. Gaynor, "only to dedicate and de-

1T is improbable that Mr.. Bryan

the great Commoner, as result OF
whose influence Taggart was himself
deposed from the craftsmanship and
succeeded by Norman Mack, OF Buff
falo.
I'm my opinion Gov. JudsoH Har-
mon, of Ohio, is by all means the
solid choice of the party for the presl-
Dental nomination. Since the death
of Gov. Johnson, of Minnesota, which
is much regretted, Harmon is directly
in line. and l am confident that the
Democratic candidate will be elected
next time"
Taggart did not specify the grounds
upon which he based hope that
Democrat will succeed Taft in the
White House. He admitted, however
that it would not be result OF the
enactment of the tariff law.

LOOKING FOR

FRENCH NEWSPAPER MEN SEEK
MILLIONAIRE, WHO TRAVELS
INCOG.

PARIS. Oct. 9.-Since the announce
ment in Paris newspaper that John
d. Rockefeller was in France, local
newspaper men have been hot-foot
after the Standard Oil magnate. Now,
however, John D. has been absolutely
lost. One rumor is that he Is still In
Paris incognito, while another report
has it that he is in London. He was
traced to Rambouillet, where French
reporter who was trying to identity
him asked the landlord what kind OF
tips the American oil man gave the
waiter. The landlord replied that he
did not give any tip; that a friend
with whom he took luncheon paid the
bill. Mr.. Rockefeller, the landlord
said, was a very nice man, but was
not very good customer.
After trying ]. j. Hofe's chateau,
where they heard Mr.. Rockefeller had
Just returned to Paris, the reporter

SWALLOWED POEM
FOR A GRAVE
AUTHOR OF ZIONIST HYMN MADE
UNIQUE TRADE WITH A
FRIEND.

NEW YORK, Oct. 9.-Napthall Herr
Imber, Hebrew poet and Zionist
leader, who died here Friday after a
sudden attack of paralysis will be
buried in a grave which he bought
many years ago, giving in exchange
fourteen-line poem in classic Hebrew.
Legal documents found among 1mber's
papers told the story of this unusual
barter of poetry for a burial plot.
"As | have neither relatives or chill
dren to bury me-" says memorandum
in the poets handwriting. Il have en-
tered into this contract whereby my
friend, Usher Marcus, in consideration
of a poem written by me and here
with conveyed to him, shall take
charge of my body when l die and
bury me in a plot which he has fur
nished."
When Marcus came to fulfill this
contract he found that his right to
take charge of the burial ceremonies
of the poet was contested by COM
mittee of Galicians, who declared that
inasmuch as Imber had been born in
Galicia theirs should be the honor OF
burying him and furnishing his grave.
A legal battle may ensue before the
poet is laid to rest.
Imber's leath will be observed by a
long period of mourning by many OF
Ne WORKS prominent East Siders'
He was best known among the Jews
as the author of "Hatikavah," the
Zionist hymn, which is chanted by
Zionists the world over.

SHIP CASE IS
BEFORE COURT
CHATTANOOGA LAWYER MAKES
STRONG ARGUMENT FOR
FORMER SHERIFF.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 12.-Attorney
A. H. Cliff, of Tennessee, Monday pre-
scented to the Supreme Court OF the
United States the last of number of
briefs on the petitions of Joseph F.
Shipp and number of other residents
of Chattanooga, charged with COM
plicity in lynching the negro Johnson,
after the Supreme Court had taken
cognizance of his case.
There were originally about twenty
five of the defendants, all of whom
were charged with contempt of the
highest court in the country, but the
number was gradually reduced until
the last term of court, when seven or
eight were pronounced guilty. These
included Mr.. Ship, who was the Sher-
iff of the county, and his deputy, Jere-
miah Gibson, who was the county
jailer.
In his brief Mr.. Cliff charges that
the court erred in many respects, and
he especially asserts that when John
sons lynching occurred he was not In
the custody OF the Federal Court but
of the State authority. Hence he ar
CUES that there could have been no
contempt of the Supreme Court. He
also denies all completely in the crime
by Shipp and Gibson. He especially
sets up that he appears as the friend
not as the paid attorney of his clients.
He speaks of them as "Old Confed-
crate soldiers and men of high stand
ing" in their community, and makes
an earnest plea for their release.

MEN-OF-WAR BID
AMERICA GOOD
BRITISH Guido CONTINENTAL
SISTERS IN FAREwELL-LEAVE
MANY oEsERTERs.

NEW YORK, Oct. Six Of the
great foreign men-of-war-three Brit
ish armored cruisers and three French
battleships-crept out to sea through
the narrows Just at dark Friday night,
leaving behind great clouds of black
smoke and a substantial number OF
their men. Just how many Of the
blue Jackets remained in the city for
one reason or another is matter OF
official knowledge only, but It was re-
ported that 200 men from the British
ships had failed to turn up for duty.
OF the Frenchmen it was said that
only three out of the $500 sailors had
stayed behind. Fleet officers remained
IN search for the men of both squad
rons.
When the British squadron visited
New York several years ago 1t lost
300 men. In many cases the English
sailors have friends here and, in addi-
ton the lure of American wages some
times proves irresistible.
The great blue-gray Infexible, con-
fident of her speed, remained at her
anchorage Friday night, giving the
other three vessels of the British
squadron the Argyll, Drake and Duke
of Edinburgh, nearly twenty-four
hours start. She expects to weigh
anchor this afternoon, and, under es-
cort of the Connecticut, Vermont and
Kansas, of the Atlantic feet, Will
steam out of port.
In giving their farewell the British
ers outdid their continental sisters,
the French, in the matter of extreme
courtesy. While International polite
ness by no means requires it, all three
of the English cruisers fired a parting
salute of twenty-one guns as they
passed Governors Island. Old Castle
Williams. somewhat surprised at the
extreme cordially of the English, fired
twenty-one for each vessel in return
The French had previously passed out
in silence. An officer on Governors
Island said that it was an extra cour-
tesy by the British rather than an
omission by the French.
