Bernard Sullivan, an employe OF the
Isthmian Canal Commission. who is
spending his vacation with relatives
in this city, stated in an interview
with a Journal representative yester-
day that the average person in ''ths
states does not realize what q gigan-
tic piece Of work the building of the
Panama canal is. Neither the Trans
Siberian railway nor the subway in
New York, according to Mr.. Sullivan,
compares in magnitude with this
canal
Speaking of the size Of the canal,
Mr.. Sullivan said:
ITO give you an idea OF the size
of the canal. If you were to cut a ditch
down through the hardest kind of rock
twice as deep as the l.. & N. grain
elevator is high and two blocks wide
and twenty or thirty miles long you
would have a ditch about the size OF
the Panama canal The surface of the
water in the canal will be eighty five
feet above the level of the sea, and
in order to hold the water a series OF
concrete locks is constructed near
each end of the canal. The locks are
built in pairs and three pairs at each
end, making in all. twelve locks. The
locks are thousand feet in length

width, inside measurement.
These locks" continued he. are
about as high as the American Ma
tional bank building and nearly as
thick. So IL the American National
bank building was constructed of solid
concrete and extended to Garden
street, you would have piece of work
about the size of one side OF these
immense locks. The floors of the
locks are made OF concrete. and so
constructed that the water flows in
and out OF the locks through immense
conduits opening in the floor OF the
locks"
GATES FOR THE LOCKS.
Mr.. Sullivan stated that the locks
are to be provided with gates. A
Flttsourg company has the contract to
furnish and erect the gates. and dur

New York, July 20.-T1e gang OF
gun men and black -jackers" that
riddled Herman Rosenthal, the gam
bier, with bullets is believed by detec-
tives today to have been procured by
Bald Jack" Rose under pressure of
the police system" which was seek
ing to effectually close the mouth of
Rosenthal against further charges that
gamblers had to divide their gains with
the police.
Rose is a close friend of Police Lieu
tenant Becker, who was yesterday re-
moved as the head of the strong arm"
squad which handles the gambling sit
uatton in the city. District Attorney
Whitman has cleaned enough infor-
nation to convince him that Rose, at
the suggestion or knowledge of the po-
lice, hired some of Jack Zelig's gang
Of gun fighters to make away with
Rosenthal. The market rate for kill
ing men by some of the East Side gun
men is said to be $4,000.
LoAFED AROUND SCENE.
From William Shapiro, driver of the
murder car" District Attorney Whit
man and private detectives employed
police have shown no inclination TO
unearth the crime, have learned that
after the shooting the murderers loafed
around the scene of the crime with no
apparent fear of arrest.
Shapiro has told enough details to
cause the public prosecutor to believe
that the private detectives will soon
round UP the gang of Gun fighters
whom the police have daily promised
to arrest but have failed to do so.
That the gambling plot and murder
ploto will lead far deeper into the police
department is now generally believed.
Shapiro told the prosecutor and the
detectives that he picked up Rose and
two other men, Itzky and Schaaps. by
appointment on Fourteenth street and
on the way uptown there were several
changes made in the party. Informa-
tion regarding these changes of the
rfsSengers in the murder car" Is
being withheld. Shapiro says that af-
ter the men shot Rosenthal they put
their guns in their pockets without any
rush and stood around for a time. At
ter while, Shapiro says. they walked
leisurely over to the car and got
aboard The chauffeur said that he
stalled with the motor, hoping the po-
lice would come, but that one of the
murderers pointed a gun at him and
said:
"Quit monkeying and roll along"
NO CHASE WAS MADE.
Shapiro said that the car made only
fifteen miles an hour and he didn't see
Going up Fifth avenue, Shapiro said,
enc oc the passengers said to him that
he was a fool to get scared, as nobody
was going to get into trouble because
the Job had been fixed and that the
police weren't doing anything.
Police Commissioner Dougherty Sc
cured from Rose the information that
he was working for Lieutenant Becker
early Monday night. Rose told the
deputy commissioner that he was
afraid Of Becker and had gone to the
house of Dora Gilbert, Rosenthars di-
vorced wife, on Monday night be-
cause he knew she was going TO make
an affidavit that Becker wanted an af-
7davtt against Rosenthal. Rose told
the commissioner that he was not sur
prised when he was told that Rosen-
thai had been killed, as ne thought he
would get it because he talked too
much.
