COURT AWARDS A
PENSION TO WIDOW
MRS. CARRIE HUGHEY GIVEN 81
PER WEEK FOR EACH OF
HER CHILDREN.

Mrs. Carrie Hughey was granted the
first widows pension In this county un-
der the new state pension law this
morning when Judge Francis M. Hunt
err ruled that she should receive ii per
week for each Of her five children until
the children reached the age Of IA
years.
Mrs. Hnghey was the first to apply to
the county for support Of her children
under the new law. She had asked to
be allowed the full amount prescribed
by the law. The board Of supervisors,
acting on the part Of the county, con-
tested the payment Of the maximum
sum on the grounds that it would be a
burden to the county The total amount
Is $40 per month.
The new law and its effect was the
principal topic of conversation at the
court house following the ruling Of the
court. County officials seem to be Of the
opinion that number Of widows will
come to the front with requests for aid
from the county, and some speculation
was offered as to the probable cost to
the commonwealth as a result OF the
act.
Ask Payment Of Note.
o. H Siefert and Edna M. Hedrick
filed civil action case with the coun-
ty clerk this morning asking that they
be awarded $29s.s0 on a note held by
them as the heirs Of the estate OF Mrs.
J. w. Siefert. S. L. Limmon and Ella
M. Limmon are named as the defend
ants in the suit.

DISMISS CASE OF
STATE VS.. LANGFORDS

Centerville, July 1.-THE sensation
al case in which Mayor J. w. Hibbs Of
Numa, charged Andy and Fred Lang
ford with assault with intent to COM
NIT murder was dismissed by Squire
Robert Henderson Thursday afternoon
after several witnesses had been heard.
The case failed because the state fail
ed to show the intent Of the Langfords
to kill and that they used weapons.
Some trouble arose because Mayor
Hibbs fined Fred Langford recently
for licking fellow who killed his
chickens when they got on his prem
1ses. The mayor was waylaid at night
and badly beaten up before help ar
rived. When the town marshal, Jack
Todd, arrived, one Of the Langfords,
who is constable, held him off while
the other finished the job on the
mayor, who was carried to his home
helpless, and covered with blood.

now we are shoveling the crest away
from the canal in order to relieve the
pressure from above. Before the move
ment in January began the excavation
in the cut 1T that point had been
carried to within Is feet Of the canal
bottom. Digging out that Is feet of
material removed the support of the
Cucaracha, and down 1t came. II we
could have turned in the water and
taken out the Is feet with dredges, I
think the pressure of the water would
have done much to prevent the slide"
What Of the future?" asked. lis
there any danger of slides occurring
after the canal is opened?"
Absolutely none, believe" he an
swered. when the excavattng and
dynamiting have ceased and the wa
ter is in. It will be quite safe. We
have the slides and breaks mapped
out as far back AZ there Is any indt-
cation of their extending. and are
working back to those lines. It Is
merely matter Of persistency and pa
tience" q
when will the water be let into
the cut?'
In October" replied Colonel Goe-
thals. But there will be no celebra-
ton over the event. That one in Jan
uary, 1915, ia giving us enough worry,
and we don't forget the prematureand
ridiculous celebration by Ferdinand de
Lesseps many years ago. We will just
turn the water in-that's all Then we
can complete the excavation there
with suction dredges, which will do
the work cheaply and rapidly"
And when viii boats be passing
through the canals"
THAT I cannot say. but the sooner
the better, for the operating crews
must be- properly trained before that

an accident occur for anything. II we
cannot have commercial vessels going

government to send naval vessels
through, 80 the operating forces can

mIzARAC1HE .N.ZNx -

! Colon, G. Z.-If you wish to hear
Language" Just say "Cucaracha" to
ono Of the engineers engaged In build
ing the central division of the Panama
canal.
Cucaracha in Spanish means .
cockroach. In tho Canal Zone 1t
means the greatest Of the numerous
slides that have made the completion
,of the Culebra cut SO different and SO
expensive. Why that slide was named
the cockroach I could not discover.
Certainly even the Panamanian~ cock
roach is not 80 large, and he moves
much moro swiftly.
Before tho first French company
quit operations in 1889 the Cucaracha
began to slide, and it first gave the
Americans trouble In 1906, the second
year Of their work ON the canal. Be
tween then and July /, 1912, nearly
100000 cubic yards OF material was
removed from the canal because Of
It. The slide had broken nearly 1900
feet from the axis Of the canal. and
covered an area Of Al acres. Last fall
tho engineers were congratuhting
themselves on having tho cockroach
stopped. but In January It $ started
moving again. and nearly covered the
bottom Of the cut.
What Is going to be the cost of
that slide to the United 6tates?" I
asked Colonel Goethals as we stood ct
the edge Of the Culebra cut and look
ed across the chasm to where the
steam shovels and hundreds Of men
were laboring to. remove tho vast
mass Of earth and rock.
WELL" the chief engineer replied, "our
estimate is that by, the time it is al
cleared up it will have required the
expenditure of about 100000 more
than the cut would have cost II the
slide had not occurred. It Is still NOV
ing, and has broken 80 far back that
