CANAL OPENING
LATE IN 1918
Is To Be Finished Two Years Before
the Date Set For Official
Opening.

NEW ORLEANS, Nov. 15.-Vessels
will be allowed to pass through the
Panama canal before the official date
of the opening Of the canal which mas
been set for January /, 1915. This
information is contained in letter
received by H. e. Bently. chairman
of the progressive steamship and rail-
service, from Major F. G. Boggs OF
the U. S. corps of engineers at wash
ington.
Major Boggs says:
II am directed by the secretary OIL
war to inform you that, while the Of
fetal date of the opening of the canal
has been set for Jan 1, 1915, it is the
intention to allow vessels to utilize
the canal just as soon as possible.
Present indications seem that this can
be accomplished during the latter half
Of 1913, although it is too far in adj
vance at this time to fix any date.
Shipping interests will, however, be adj
yised as soon as the commission feels
assured that vessels can be passed
without delay"

WANTS PUBLIC DOCTOR
Urges the establishments Of De-
partment Of Public Health for
the Benefit Of

KANSAS CITY, Mo-, Nov. 10
There was little mother In Indiana;
she was only "a years old; she had
three children; she worked hard and
desirous of tonic to relieve her
weakness and fainting spells wrote to
the secretary of the state board OF
health-for she was too poor to pay.
In a typewriter letter the secretary
tod this little woman that the state
made no provisions for such and In
case of her death, her children would
be placed in an asylum.
THE little woman died.
"In another part of the state a hog
squealed. A farmer looked at him
and declared he had hog cholera
Uncle Sam sent a special agent from
washington to look at the hog and
treat it. The hog recovered.
Moral: Be hog, worth saving.
Thus did Senator Robert l.. owen Of
Oklahoma make strong plea today
before the Trans-Mississippi congress
nov in session here for the establish
ment of a department of public health
to look after the welfare of the coun-
| try and save human lives as we'll as
those of hogs.
| In the course of his speech, he as
serted that 100000 people annually
| die in this country from preventao-e
diseases; that the enormous pension
4 list is largely due to the lack OF prop
er medical attention: that human life
can be prolonged eight and hal
years by the establishment of de
lpartment of public heath and tha
while many million of dollars are an
nually spent disseminating the crcct
/ of conservation of natural resource!
very little comparatively is spent fol
the betterment of the public health.
I'VE send out millions of bulletins
on the best methods of raising corn
cotton and wheat" he said. 1--WE sem
out millions of bulletins on how t.
control the Texas fever, avoid the Dol
wevil and regarding hog cholera
but no bulletins on the conservation
of human life.'
Addresses were also given by Joh

Spencer was insane at the time of the
tragedy, was made when Mrs. Dow
was cross-examined.
The stories of the tragedy told by
Mrs. Dow and her daughters. prac.
tically were the same. They said they
were seated in the parlor when man
with the lower part of his face cover
ed appeared in the doorway. The
man levelled his revolver and shouted
Give me your money.
Miss Blackstone rushed towards
the door and the intruder shot he
