WORK is SATISFACTORY.
Panama Canal Will be Completed
Dec, 19i3-Opened Formally
January, 1915.

Panama.-The Panama canal will
be completed December 1, 1913.
This information was given to Pres
ident Taft while he was inspecting
the famous Gatun dam, on which
he spent several hours. The official
date of the opening remains Janu-
airy 1, 1915, Lieutenant Colonel
Goethals desiring one year in which
to train the canal tenders and to get
the machinery working smoothly.
Ships meantime will be granted the
privilege of the canal but at their
own risk of delays incident TO mex
perienced operation.
In addition it was announced by
Lieutenant Colonel Goethals that
the report that President Taft's visit
vas the f%urerunner of a request for
another S10O,OO0,OO0 from Congress
was unfOunded. The canal will be
completed in 1913, he said, within
the 1915, 1000, 1000 already authorized.
The President was tremendously
pleased at the outlook for the early
completion of the great work and
congratulated Colonel Goethals. He
expressed amazement at the amount
of work accomplished since his visit
to the isthmus in February, 1909.
The President was greatly surprised
at the immensely of the dam, some
idea of which can be gained from
the fact that the special train was
under way nearly three hours on
the spur tracks overrunning the
great fill. The President exclaimed:
This is a mountain, not a dam"
The visit of the President has
utterly dispelled any fears gained
from sensationalists respecting the
stability of the dam base, which is
a half-miEe wide and so gradually
sloped that it could never be recog-
nized as a dam.
Colonel Goethals explained TO the
President that the informal opening
of the canal in 1913 necessitates i'm
mediate action on the part of Con-
gress relative to toll rates because
eighteen months will be required by
shipping interests to adjust their
rates to the new routing.

This, according to the police, is
part of the signed confession Of
Benjamin Smith, % years old, a:
farmer now in the Muncie Jail. It.
was the climax of a remarkable re-
cital Of murder.
Smith, his hands smeared. with
blood, had staggered into the home
of Oscar Shaw and told a story Of
having been attacked by highway
men.
Smiths father was mysteriously
missing and suspicious were arous-

examination, he finally said that he
would show the police where shis
fathers body could be found.
He led the way to an Abandoned

Wall OF GLASS TRUST.
Must Reduce Wages 80 Per Cent on
Account Of Prosecution@ail
Sentence Next Time.

WashingLon.-The Department OF
Justice, of which Attorney General
Wickersham is the head, has taken
notice of a newspaper dispatch from
Pittsburg to the effect that the cor
porations combined in the s0-called
window glass trust" had served
notice upon their employees that a
wage reduction of 80 per cent was
the only condition under which the
factories could continue to man
ufacturc. The dispatch further said
that the corporations attributed this
directly to the successful prosecu-
ton of the combination by the De-
partment of Justice and the imposi-
ton by the United States court OF
fines upon the corporation and upon
its officers and directors indlvidu-
ally.
The department has issued a
statement outlining its view Of the
matter and incidentally intimating
that the reported action of the cor
p~oratiOns, if sustained by the fact,
would indicate a very mistaken
leniency on the part of the court,
which it is hoped would not be fol-
lowed on any other similar oc-
casion."
This intimation is interpreted here
as indicating an intention on the
part of the department to insist in
similar cases upon Jail sentences
rather than fines.
The Attorney General expressed
indignation at such statements. and
q strong doubt of its reliability.
