Absconding Bank Teller Is Arrested
at Acapulco.

Acapulco, Mexico, Oct. 31.-From
descriptions given by a detective
agency it is believed two of the men
who were arrested on arrival here
Saturday on the schooner Kate, are
Wilson B. Evans, absconding teller of
the Farmers and Merchants bank OF
Los Angeles and H. Hamburge, an al
legged accomplice.
1t is stated that $1,000 has been re-
covered.
Washington, Oct. 31.-The state de-
partment has been formally notified by
the American ambassador to Mexico
that United States consul Marion
Letcher at Acapulco, reports the de-
tention there of five men suspected of
connection with the dynamiting of the
Los Angeles Times building. The de-
partment has advised Mr.. Letcher to
supply further details direct to Wash
ington.
If the Los Angeles authorities wish
the extradition of the men they would
have to apply to Governor Gillett to
ask the state department.

Engineers point out that even if a
tremendous explosion or earthquake
should damage or destroy one or more
sets of gates. no great disaster would
ensue, for all locks are to be made in
duplicate to accommodate traffic in
both directions at once and the wreck
age of one set of locks would only
necessitate the diversion of commerce
into another set.
But violent earthquakes have not oc-
CURED in the Panama region for more
than two centuries and it would require
a mighty siege for an enemy to de-
stroy the locks.
Each lock will be ample for ship 50
per cent larger than any vessel now
afloat and it has been estimated that
as many as a hundred ocean ships may
be handled in a single day.
There are no locks approaching these
in size. The famous Suez canal is a
sea level affair and the few great lock
canals would have to combine their
gates to equal the size and strength Of

Chicago, Oct 31.-Albert 3. Kreitler'
third vice president of the International
Printing Pressmens and Assistants I'm

following statement in reference to a
dispatch recently from Denver:
Through the Associated Press, wish

his attitude toward the pressmen's un-

BIG GATES FOR PANAMA.
Those Being Constructed Are the Lar
Gest in the World.

Pittsburg, Pa, Oct. 31.-The largest
gates in the world are being made N
Pittsburg for the Panama canal. Any
one of the 92 of them, for there are to
be 46 pairs in all, will be about as high
as a six story building, 65 feet wide
and 7 feet thick. The structural steel
that will go to make them will weigh
so 900 tons, or more than eight times
as much as was used to build the Eifel
tower.
The mighty portals, designed to ad-
NIT a worlds commerce from one
ocean to another, must withstand
tide of criticism as we'll as a tremen1-
Gus pressure of water and possible
convulsions of earth. For years the
controvers- over gates or no gates,
locks or sea levels, has been the divid-
ing issue of the canal problem. In the
face of fear in some quarters that the
foundations on the isthmus are not
sure enough for locks, that earth
quakes or water pressure would dis
lodge them, and that an enemy's mines
or accidental explosions might easily
destroy them, the government has be-
gun to build the gates.
The cost will be s5, 500, 0O0 The build
ers are the McChntic Marshall Steel
Construction company, a half of whose
independent plant here has been given
over entirely to the gate contract. OF
the $4,000 tons of steel required, the
heaviest single piece will weigh about
1S tons. These will be the base girders,
which are seven feet wide, and which
will be placed much ike the first floor
girders of a sky scraper.
The series of girders above them will
range from 3.8 feet apart near the bot
ton to feet apart at the top and over
the skeleton structure thus formed a
sheathing of water tight arnor plate
viii be bolted. much after the fashion
of clapboards on a house.
The thickness of the plates will range
from an inch at the base to 7-16 of az
inch at the top. The weight of a single
gate will be about 800 tons, and the
dimensions are II to 80 feet high, so 20
65 feet wide, and feet thick
The thousands of individual pieces,
numbered and fitted to go together as
easily as children's blocks, will be ship
ped by steamer via Baltimore and with
them will go 400 skilled structural steel
builders from Pittsburg to set them up
The advance guard Of experts leaves
here in December and the first work
probably will begin early in 1911. 1t
will take three years to complete the

RICH MEN WELD PICKS.
Work Side by Side Common Laborers
Opening Road.

Oakland, Cal, Oct. 31.-Taking the
law into their own hands, a number of
San Francisco, Oakland and Point
Richmond capitalists yesterday sue
ceeded in extending a thoroughfare
which connects Point Richmond with
a direct road to Oakland across the
right of way of the Southern Pacific
railroad.
The capitalists, owners of 1900
acres of land in the district, grabbed
picks and shovels and worked shoulder
to shoulder with a gang of laborers.
The railway offered vigorous oppo-
sition and, once gaining possession Of
the field, had set its men to undo1ng
the work of the others, when it was
forced to quit the fight by the service
of a hastily secured injunction from
Judge J. H. Latimer of Martinez, re-
straining the company from continu-
ing.
Yesterdays summary action by the
property owners came as the culmina-
ton of a two years fight with the rail-

NEEDS The money
Burlington Man Tells Why
Rates Should Be Advanced.
Proposed Increase Would Bring
About 100000.
WILL MEAN A LOSS.
Says Proposed Schedules Would
Be Disastrous if Enforced.
Estimates That Reduction
Would BE Cut OF $8OO,OOO.

Chicago, Oct. 31.-Rate decisions in
what are known as the Denver, Spok-
ane and other western cases will cost
the Chicago, Burlington & Quincy
100000. The old rebating system re-
duced the freight revenue of the Bur-
ington from to 5 per cent.
The Burlington is not in SO good
a condition to accumulate a surplus
now as it was ten years ago.
The foregoing were among the
statements made at the rate hearing
today by Claude G. Burnham, vice
president of the Burlington, who was
the first witness. Attorney T. J. Nor
ton, who represents the railways as a
whole at the hearing, stated that he
had only one more witness to intro
duce. On the subject of western rate
decisions Mr.. Burnham said:
THE decisions have not been order
ed into effect as yet, but unless they
are materially modified, they will con-
serVatively estimated cause the Bur-
lington a loss of 100000 annually
Attorney Dawes of the Burlington
asked what effect on revenues east
of the Missouri the rebating had be-
fore the law made the practice illegal.
Rebates were given almost eXclu-
sively on high class freight" replied
the witness. '"Fhe result was a rate
that was much lower than was fair
to the railroads. But at no time did
rebates cause more than a 8 to per
cent decrease in the revenue of the
Burlington
you have mentioned" said Attor-
ney Lyon of the commission, that the
proposed increases would give the
Burlington road about 100000. For
what purpose do you want that
money!"
THE Burlington needs 100000 and
more to maintain the efficiency of the
property as a transportation ma
chine"
do you regard the Burlington as
an efficient transportation machine at
present?'

URGING BOND ISSUE.
Commercial Club Asking Voters to
Turn Out Election Day.

The Commercial club is urging the
advocates of the state fair $4,000
bond proposition to telephone to their
friends, and ask them not to forget to
vote one way or the other on election
day, November 8.
Secretary H. L. Cook has sent out a
circular letter asking citizens of the
county to rally to the support of the
bonds. The letter reads:
please make it a part of your busi-
ness between now and election day to
urge this issue.
3I feel that we must be able to house
double the sized fair in 1911 that we
did this year if we expect to be able
to attract the attention of the legisla-
| ture.
"a Iull in our success at this time
would be our rivals opportunity. The
city of Topeka and Shawnee county
can not afford to lose great state fair
which is their logically.
81 would suggest that you write the
newspapers and express an opinion
favora bly,, also telephone ten of your
friends in the city and country and
have them in turn call up ten OF their
friends on the matter"
The farmers continue to express
themselves in favor of the bonds. "A.
w Smith of Mcpherson county was
asked to express his opinion of the
state fair as an advertisement to the
state.
"Oh, I have been for the fair right
aIong.'' he said enthusiastically. 1.-THE
proposition now before the people of
Shawnee county is an all right one"
H. H. Wallace, who is master of Oak
Grange a farmers organization with d
large membership, is heartily in favor
of the issuance of bonds for the bene-
fit of the state fair. He is taking an
active part in the publicity campaign
which is now in progress and in every
way possible assisting in ehghtening
the taxpayers of his section of the
county to the advantage to be derived
from a state fair.
ct do not believe that there will be
any opposition to the bonds by the
time the present publicity campaign
is ended" said Mr.. Wallace. ST am
sure that when the people are brought
to see the great advantages to be de-
rived from improving the fair grounds
and incidentally making great state
fair possible that they will vote for
their own interests and that the bonds
will carry by a large majority.
Every farmer and resident of
shawnee county will be benefited just
in proportion to what he owns by big
annual fair held in Shawnee county.
Such a gathering combines the educa-
tionaI and recreation features so neces-
sarv to the life and prosperity of
community and I would like to see the
bonds carry without a dissenting vote
if such a thing could be possible.
1--WE taxpayers will be improving our
own property and there IS not chance
that a single dollar of the issue will be
diverted to any other purpose. When
this point is thoroughly understood 1
believe that all opposition to aiding
the state fair association will vanish,
at any rate I most sincerely hope So"
