taken on added Importance in the eyes
of his friends at the Marks Nathan

possession of a letter written at the die

Were it not for the fact that his name

now be hanging among other pictures

TOWN BEING WIPED OUT
Balboa, at Pacific Entrance to
Panama Canal, Soon to Be
Only a Memory.

Balboa, the native town at the Pacific
entrance to the Panama canal. soon will
have entirely disappeared, as conse-
quence of the work now in progress for
dock improvements. All the leases of
building lots in the settlement, made by
the canal commission, have been cancel
removing the buildings has begun. The
former holders of lot leases have been
offered land in other localities upon which
to rebuild. Where the offers are accept
ed the canal commission undertakes to
transport their building materials free.
Originally three were about sixty six
houses in the settlement, all privately
owned. OF the residents, some have lived
in the village for twenty-five years or
more.
The land on which the native town of
Old Balboa stands was formerly part of a
rural property aggregating fifty-seven
hectares. Ii was sold to the first French
Canal Company March 10, 1883. for 1900
Colombian pesos, but there was reser-
walton made of 200 square meters, the
designation of which was left to the
French company. A part of this tract.
representing more or less of the site of
the native village. has been acquired by
the canal commission, and negotiations
are in progress for the purchase of the
remainder.
After the French began work at the
Pacific entrance they imported num-
Der of Colombian laborers from Carta-
gena, who settled the place under the
name of Cartagenita Little Cartagena,.
The place, however. was officially desig-
mated La Boca uhe MOUTH. from its
proximity to the southern entrance to the
canal. 1t was SO known up to April 80.
1909, when by direction of the President
of the United States it was named Bal
boa, in honor of the discoverer. Since
then it has been locally known as "Old
Balboa to distinguish it from the Ameri-
can settlement known as East Balboa
which has been built UP about mdwa y
between Old Balboa and Panama. From
a commercial standpoint Balboa never
had much Importance. its trade being
limited to a few Chinese stores and ma
tive shops. These supplied the canal la
borers and others living there, as we'll as
a few sduatters in the bush on the west
side of the canal.

MISS DE WITT HELD
FOR WRITING LETTERS
Father Says 1t Is First Arrest
in Family for Five
, Generations.

EASTON. Pa. September Miss Har-
riet De Witt of this city. daughter of
George De Witt. a widely known and re-
spected resident. had public hearing be-
fore United States Commissioner Turner
yesterday on the charge of sending an
moving letters to several Of her neigh
bors. particularly to the Rev. Elmer +.
Snyder. pastor of Christ Lutheran Church,
for whom. 1t Is charged. she always has
shown an antipathy. Her home is OPP
posite the parsonage.
A large batch of letters alleged to have
been written by the young woman was
offered In evidence by the district attor-
ney, but extracts from only a few that
were written to Mr.. Snyder were read.
Similarity in Writing.
The prosecutor pointed out alleged SINH
larities in the writing in the letters and
in the samples Of writing which Miss De
Witt made some time ago for the postal
authorities. He also called attention to
the testimony Of postman that he took
most of the anonymous letters from a
box in the neighborhood of Miss De
Wits home.
John c. Swartly OF Doylestown, as
sistant United States district attorney,
represented the government in yesterday s
proceedings. while the defendant was rep
resented by w. S. Fitzpatrick of Easton
and Marshal Miller of Phillipsburg.
; Accused Woman Cool.
Miss De Witt was perfectly COO
throughout the hearing, and preserved
her good-natured smile even when Com
missioner Turner held her in $500 bal
for trial in Philadelphia September 49,
George De Witt, who entered bail for
his daughters appearance was visibly ar
fected by her predicament. This is a
great injustice" he said. 1T brings an
undeserved stain on our family, no mem
Der of which has ever been in cour,
through five generations. Ny daughter is
absolutely innocent
