WILL NOT INCREASE COST.
EXPENSE of Panama Canal Work Not
Affected by Slides.

The great earth slides in the Culebra
cut amounting in the aggregate to four
billion cubic yards, will not actually in
crease the estimated cost of constructing
that section of the Panama canal. ac-
cording to the engineers report to the
War Department.
That is because the cost of excavation
per yard has been reduced 30 cents be-
low the estimated cost as result of
the adoption of superior machinery and
methods of work. Nor will the slides
affect the estimated time of completion
of that portion of the canal, because the

to take possession Of the convention hall

was frustrated by the Taft men, who
beat them to the hall and admitted only
delegates with credentials signed by the
chairman of the congressional committee.
When the Roosevelt men came In the
-wrangling cmmenced. and at times the
contest was so bitter that fist fights were
averted with difficulty.
At Takona Wash, yesterday, the re-
publican state central committee, by a
vote of ~ to Z, refused to designate the
primary plan for the selection of dele
gates to the national convention, and
delegates will be chosen by district and
state conventions. The Taft administers

man from Alexandria, called at the hos
pital last night and saw him. He had
very little to say to them. being UNI
willing to discuss the tragedy.
When the police broke open the door
they found the man and woman lying
on the floor. There was a bullet hole
through the wOman's right wrist and
one through her heart, while the only
wound the man had sustained was the
one in his mouth. The revolver was on
the bed. Although four shots had been
fired, only three of the bullets could be
accounted for.
Physicians at the Emergency Hospital
say Fornshell probably will recover.
Fornshell is well known about saloons
and clubs in this city. having had charge
of a number Of bars during the past fiji
teen or twenty years. The woman, it is
stated, came here from Camden, N. j.,
about ten years ago, and the police are
making an effort to locate her relatives.
The police learned today that Form
shell purchased the revolver with which
the shooting was done yesterday from

at 800 D street northwest. He gave his
name as Edward Wilson Of 934 AZ street

The police say they have learned from

Bishop Joshua H. Jones, colored
former head of WHEREFORE Univer-

Ninth Episcopal District of the Afri-
can Methodist Episcopal Church,
which embraces Tennessee and Ala
bama, when asked as to his opinion
on Mr. Roosevelt's attitude toward

opinion of Mr.. Roosevelt is that in

statesman with Abraham Lincoln and

''He is simply a political trickster,

"His political inconsistencies and

Bishop Joshua H. Jones, of WILDER
force, Ohio, made his first trip to
Tennessee last week when he met
the Trustees of Turner Normal Col
lege in their annual summer rally
for Turner Normal College. The
meeting this year was held at Shell
byville in the school building. A
large number of trustees were pres
ent from every part of the state. The
Board includes all the presiding ell
Gers in the four conferences, and
many of the leading pastors and lay
men.
In speaking to the Trustee Board
Bishop Jones said: 81 feel under
many obligations to the men of Ten
nessee; first, because l realize that
without their support l would not
have been elected as one of the
bishops of the A. M. E. Church" He
said he was determined to do his
level best for the interest of the
Church this quadrennium. He as
sured the men that he had come to
them as brother and friend and he
asked their cooperation in all things
for the betterment Of the Church.
The reports from the various dis.
tricts were taken up and showed that
despite the hard year the people
throughout the state have rallied no
bly, for the school. The total re
ceipts for the work amounted to
$4,000, which is only eight hundred
dollars less than the amount asked
for, and the presiding elders assured
the bishop that when the annual con
ferences meet the five thousand dol
lars would be paid in full if not in
excess.
While the Board was in session
the cornerstone of the new girls dor
mitory was laid, the local Masonic
order officiating. DR.. Jones spoke in
high praise Of the work being done
and expressed himself as being op.
timistic of the future.

day night he was greeted by another
large audience at st. Paul Church,
and on this occasion he acquitted him.
self grandly. People in Nashville
and other points where the Bishop
