Joe Du Bose is now resting in the federal building. having been taken in this morning by Chief McVeitty. who found him trying the locks of several doors The last place visited by him was the Pacific Cold Storage plant on the spit where he insisted upon in- specting the meat. McVeitty. who had followed him. requested that Joe be permitted to do so. After careful examination of the stock the officer asked Joe to accompany him and this Joe did very quietly to the marshafs 8 office. He consented without mur- mur to remain in the jail building. The only question he asked was put as he walked to town with NIT. Me- Veitty. He wanted to know what right he had to take him. At the Jail he complained of a queer magnet like thing buzzing in his head.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 22.-To pre- vent delay in the completion of the Panama canal. the interstate com merce commission has modified it's ruling 80 that foreign ships may now deliver material there. Under the old ruling an immense amount of difficulty was experienced through lack of suf- ficient American bottoms and a con- tinuation of the conditions threatened to cause considerable delay.
 The belief prevails here now tha, the canal will be completed before the time specified but that the authorities have decided to give plenty of latitude SO that disappointment might not re- suit if il was not finished at the time given.
