ideals to each committee, each committee
will be a national board to its constitu-
ency.

ROOSEVELT AND ABRUZZI

Grand Duke Ferdinand of Austria,
Travelling InCognito, Just
Misses Colonel

VENICE, April 14.-Colonel and Ker-
nit Roosevelt spent twelve hours here
today, leaving about 2:30 p. m. for
Vienna.
The duke of the Abruzzi, who is in
command of the naval arsenal. called
on the former president and spent
nearly an hour with him. They talked
chiefly of their recent experiences III
Africa and the Himalayas.
Grand Duke Ferdinand of Austria
happened to be at the same hotel as
Colonel Roosevelt. but they did not
meet While the colonel was lunching
in his room the grand duke and his
morganatic wife, who was Countess
Sophia Chietek. but who was recently
raised to the rank of princess, lunched
in the public dining room with two
maids.
The ducal party was travelling in
cognito, and the duke, who is one OF
the most powerful personages in
Europe, was not aware that he was
under the same roof with the former
president of the United States until the
hotel manager whispered to him in the
dining room.
The former president quickly was
recognized and saluted while sightsee-
ing this morning. Many Americans in
sisted in shaking his hand, and two en-
thusiastic American girls, passing in a
gondola called out so spontaneously
that the colonel gallantly waved his
hat.
The mayor and prefect of Venice
called on Colonel Roosevelt at his hotel
early in the day and extended him the
welcome of the city.

PROGRESS ON PANAMA
CANAL Is SURPRISE
All Excavation Planned in Original
Project Completed

WASHINGTON, April 14.-Although
If was generally known that splendid
progress had been made by the army
engineers in digging the Panama canal,
the statement contained in the canal
record. Just at hand that all of the
excavation that was contemplated in
the original project had been com
pleted comes as a surprise.
Under that plan 1O3,795,OOO cubic
wards of material were to be removed
and that has been done.
But subsequently, in order to accom-
modate naval vessels of the Dread
naught type and the giant liners now
under construction, the president or
dered the widening and deepening of
the canal cut. That involved the re-
moval of 1851. .594 additional yards of
material. and this Is all of the task Of
excavation that cOnfronts the engi-
neers.
The record OF ccomplishments has
been without precedent in engineering
undertakings The real work Of dig
ging did not begin until 1907. In that
YEAR nearly 10000, 900 cubic yards of
earth were removed, and since that
time the daily average has been stead
ily growing until now in three ana a
quarter years all of the excavation
called for in the original plan has been
accomplished.
Last month 3,067 1863 yards of material
were taken out. and this in the face
of tho heaviest March rains known on
the isthmus.

HIGH COSTS DRIVING
NATION ON TO CRISIS
Pres. Brown of New York Central
Says Economic Trains
Bound to Telescope

NEW YORK, April IA warning OF
impending danger not only to manufac-
turing interests but to the whole coun-
try is sounded by w. c. Brown, presl-
dent of the New York Central railroad,
who believes that the high cost of liV-
ing foreshadows a national crisis. In
statement made public today Mr.
Brown quotes statistics showing that
consumption is increasing. at a much
greater rate than production, and
likens the situation to two railroad
trains travelling on a single track, one
train, representing production, moving
at thirty-six miles an hour, and the
other representing consumption, MAX
ing sixty miles an hour
1T is plain" he points out, that the
second train must soon overtake the
first-picture the result"
He refers to the recent meat boycott
as illustrating a similar economic
problem.
Referring in a general way TO the
differences between the New York Cen
trail and its employees which it has
agreed to arbitrate, Mr.. Brown said
that the company is just closing nego-
tiations which will result in increasing
its payroll nearly 100000 annually.

Ready to Challenge Quail
fled Talesmen

KANSAS CITY, April 14.-A tempo
rary jury OF forty-seven men was OBJ
tanned in the Hyde murder trial shortly
after o'clock tonight Attorneys will
exercise their peremptory challenges to-
morrow and at $50 the names of the
final 1urymen will be announced in
open court.
After the last jurors had been placed
in the marshals custody Prosecutor
Virgil Conkling expressed a desire TO
question one of them further. The
court ruled that this could not be done.
Judge Ralph S. Latshaw asked the
attorneys when they would be able TO
complete their peremptory challenges,
I'm strike off the last three men ac-
cepted now," said Mr. Conkling.
The men had been passed after the
court had warned the attorneys against
using a form of Interrogation which he
deemed suggestive of excuses for not
doing service.
Unless present plans go amiss, the
opening statement of the prosecution
will be made to the jury Saturday
morning. No witnesses will be heard
until Monday.
A dispute between Mrs. l.. o. Swope
and the special counsel she employed
to assist the state in the prosecution of
her son-in-law, DR.. Hyde, has been
brewing for a week over the size of
the attorneys fees it developed today
Other members of the Swope family
having refused to aid in defraying the
expenses attached to the employment
of the lawyers, the burden of payment
fell upon Mrs. Swope She objected to
the amount of the fee and suggested a
smaller one. At one time it appeared
as if counsel would withdraw from the
case, but a fee was agreed upon.

Bradley, who financed DR.. Frederick
A. Cooks last polar expedition, is back
i'm New York preparing for a SIX
months hunting trip in the west.
ut seems strange" said Mr.. Bradley
that every time I reach New YORK
something bobs up in regard to pr,
Cook. This time the failure of the
Fairbanks expedition to find that brass
tube on Mount Mckinley is reported.
Il have read the story of the expe-

any remain to be convinced Professor
Parker's expedition next summer
should help them out"
