Seized by Mexico,
Is Latest Report
Captain of Isthnian Denies Story
of Alleged Capture Was Sent
From His Ship

The reported capture OF the Nor
wegian steamer Jason at Topolo-
bampo appears to have been an error.
1t was said that the vessel had been
seized by the Mexican authorities on
account of having contraband goods
on board. The report of the seizure
came from San Diego. and the officers
of the Observation-Disclosures freighter
Isthmian were given as the authority.
In response to a Geographic request
from the American Hawaiian office
here. Captain Hall of the Isthmian
replied that he knew nothing of the
Jason, that no one on the Isthmian
knew anything of the vessel. and
that the report must have been the
result of a misunderstanding.
Captain John Henry Kinder, who is
handling the Jason's business here in
the absence of Frederick Jebsen. who
is now a prisoner in Mexico. says he
Is sure the Jason is all right.

Four Alameda high school girls
have pledged themselves to master
Esperanto, and to that end have per-
suaded Mrs. Emma Rathgeb, promi-
nent clubwoman and a linguist Of
local repute, to be their instructor.
Once each week they meet and devote
an hour to reading, talking and, more
difficult still, to thinking in the lam
guage, the use of which is becoming
world wide. While the first steps are
being taken with care. it will not be
long before the young women will be
able to converse in the new tongue.
1T is more musical than the other
languages. and reahy quite simple"
they say, land we are much interest
ed The we'll worn textbooks are
witness to their interest.
Miss Ruth Heidi, daughter of Mr..
and Mrs. John Heidi, was the first to
give her attention to Esperanto, and
so enthusiastic did she become that
her friends in the immediate group
of the younger set asked her to let
them learn it with her. Many more
ambitious students are clamoring to
be granted the privileges OF instruc-
ton with them.
The girls who have already attained
proficiency in the first rules of Es-
peranto besides Miss Heidi are Miss
Ruth Eubanks. Miss Helen Sanford
and Miss Clarisse Sheldon.
This is the first class of high school
girls to be formed for the study of
Esperanto about the bay.

Touch of Key by President Is
Signal for Explosion Blow
ing Up Last Barrier
in Canal

set off in connection with the canal
work.
The slide which occurred last De-
cember was on the Pacific end of the
canal, just south of Gold Hill 1t was
nearly 40 feet deep, 400 feet long and
more than 100 feet in width Part of
it had been removed by worknlen be-
fore the dynamite was placed in posi-
ticn.
DREDGING FLEET ADVANCES
Colonel Goethals, the United States
army engineer. who has had charge
of the construction of the canal, made
final inspection of the arrangements
before the electric wires, arranged as
were in position.
After the explosion IA vessels of
the Atlantic dredging fleet which had
been lying at Gatun lock started for
cleaning out the canal bed. The en-
gineers had figured that considerable
dredging would be necessary at the
point where the dixie had stood.
Mirafiores lake. on the Pacific side.
and Culebra cut have been filing rap
idly from the inflow through the dis
charge pipes.
GREAT Conclusion FEARED
One fear of the engineers was that
the concussion from the mighty blast
today would cause another earth slide
and perhaps injure some of the near
by masonry. Every precaution pos
sible was taken to prevent this.
BY the first of November boats will
probably be passing to and fro in
the canal. and by the first of the year
there will be a sort of traffic in the
big ditch. although it will not be
opened for public service.
When the canal is actually COM
pleted 1t will be protected by Pam
anna canal fleet of rs powerful dread
noughts. The Oregon will lead a
procession of battleships through the
canal as soon as it is opened.
