ENGINEERS WORRIED BY
CANAL SLIDE WARNING
Cavein at CuIebra Points to Seri-
GUS Hampering of Pana-
ma Construction

WASHINGTON, June 1.-The "Cule-
bra slide" the cause of much appre-
hension on the part of constructing en-
gineers in Panama. has become more
serious than was at first feared on
the morning of April Is twelve steam
shovels were unable to resume work
because of the movements of the slloes
in CuCaracha and Culebra cuts.
During the night of the eighteenth
a mass of stone and mud estimated at
100000 cubic yards broke away from
the main mass of the Cucharacha slide
and dropped rapidly into the bed or
the canal, filling the pioneer cut lot 9o0
feet and stopping only at the toe ol
the west bank. Many OF lhe tracks
were covered or torn away, delaying
the work of removing the debris, which
required four days
At Culebra the damage was compara-
lively small.
A marked movement of the Culebra
slide caused the removal Of ConYlctS
from the stOckade at Gold I'M 10 tle
prison at Culebra. There seems 10 be
no immediate danger of a collapse or
the buildings, but the police deem the
removal necessary to prevent a SIAM
Dede in case of a sudden movement.
The total amount Of excavation IN
the Panama canal during the month OF
April was 2601 .347 cubic yards. Inc
heavy rains during the month retarded
the work, but no serious delay resulted.
Nearly one-eighth of the total con
crete to be laid in the locks had been
placed on May 21. At the Gatun lock
the work was progressing rapidly, at
the end Of the month the daily average
of concrete laid bsing 5000 cubic yards.
Work on the other locks is maintaining
nearly the same average, the total
amount laid being 531, COZ cubic yards.

QUESTION ROOSEVELT'S
CRITICISM OF POLICY
British Press Unanimous in De-
cIaring Former Presidents
Speech Not Justified

LONDON, June 1.-Mr. RooseYelt's
speech at Guildhall yesterday contin-
ued today to be the sensation Of news
papers throughout the country.
The editorial comments on his start
ling utterances concerning British rule
in Egypt were influenced, as rule, by
partisanship. The conservative press
defends the conclusions drawn by the
American statesman, While the lperais
oppose his deductions with equal serl-
BUSINESS.
But outside the questions of fact set
forth the newspapers almost without
ovcention challenge the propriety of a
foreign guest of the city criticising the
Lolonal policy of the empire.
OF the comments Ct the conservative
press the following are samples:
The Globe: ut was not the time nor
the place nor was the former president
the person to display this particular
form of interest in the business of his
hosts"
The Pail Mall Gazette: "The uncon-
ventional is justified only by success.
If he prefers realities to the proprie-
ties where vital interests are concerned
SO does the judgment of the British
The STANDARD: THAT he should lay
hands on one of the nations private
and particular political subjects
seemed a social crime not far from
sacrilege, but in reading the speech
carefully there is found nothing of
which to complain"
OF the Liberal papers the Westmin-
ster Gazette questions the necessity
and disagrees with the conclusions of
the speech.
The Star says Mr.. Roosevelt should
learn that he is not exempt from the
customs of civilized nations.
Mr.. Roosevelt passed today quietly.
He visited the national gallery during
the forenoon and had luncheon with
several men prominent in the Irish
Nationalist party.
There were sixteen leading Nation
aIists at the luncheon and Mr.. Roose-
Welt had an intimate discussion of
Irish affairs with them. Only two
speeches were made-one by John Red
mond and the other a humorous reply
by the former president.
Before his departure from London
Mr.. Roosevelt will be entertained by
King George. His majesty will re-
ceive his guest, not in the capacity OF
special ambassador to the funeral of
the late King Edward, but as dis
tinguished visitor. The former presi-
dent will be a guest overnight at the
country home of Frederick c. Selo.

BOMB THROWN AT PRINCE
TURNS OUT TO BE BEANS
German Crown Prince the Mark
of Demented Man

BERLIN, June There was COM
motion among the royal party return
ing from the annual joint review of
the Berlin and Potsdam garrisons at
Tempelhof field today, when a man
who had followed at a distance hurled
a missile at Crown Prince Frederick
Wilhelm. The object missed it's mark
and fell harmlessly at the feet of a
policeman. 1t was found to be an ordi-
nary tin can filled with uncooked
beans.
The party was about TO enter the pal
ace at the time and for a moment 1t
was believed a bomb had been thrown.
The police seized the assailant, who
proved to be a Russian named Abra-
ham Fierweiss, a resident Of this city.
1t is thought he is not responsible for
his action.
The crown prince represented the en-
peror at the review, as the abscess on
the emperOr's right wrist is still both
ering him. Among the Americans who
were present were Herman Ridder and
Mrs. Ridder of New York, Harold Nc
Cormick of Chicago, H. c. Emery of
the tariff board and the German Amer
ican veterans who are visiting the IA
therland.
