slides IN PANAMA COSTLY.
Canal Exeavation Delayed ~ Trouble
in Culsbra Cut.

' IN SUSOOT0 NOSs
Special to Times Republican.
Washington. Sept. About one
ninth Of the excavation work on the
Panama canal remains to be done. &C
cording to the latest revised estimator
Of the isthmian canal commission.
This takes into account that the total
excavation necessary to complete the
canal has been Increased by the latest
estimate to 232.353.000 cubic yards
This Is an increase over the estimate
Of July /. 1912, Of 20,126.0oo cubic yards.
Had the estimate of year ago held
good, the digging Of the big ditch would
have been almost completed today. But
the estimates originally made have In
creased heavily. The chief reason for
the increase in the estimates Of year
ago is found in the slides and breaks
in Culebra Cut. These have made 1t
necessary to calculate on removal of
yards Of material.
At the rat Of excavation which pre-
walls, these slides and breaks alone In
the last year have added about three
months time to the period needed for
completion of the canal The ngures
indicate the serious nature Of the prob
lcluS presented ny luc SulCUAo wv
with which Colonel Goethals and his
engineers have had to grapple. They
also serve to raise In the mind the
question just how serious the Culebra
Cut slides are going to prove after the
canal is opened Obviously, this ques-
ton. in spite Of any official assertions
to the contrary, can not be answered
until the canal is actually in operation.
cubic yards have been added to the
estimates because Of slides in Culebra
Cut, in the central division OF the
canal, 2,057,000 have been added be-
cause Of the work Of sluicing back OF
Gold Hill to lessen the weight OF the
bank. This Is part Of the effort to
prevent slides. The dredging at the
coaling station and approach on the
Atlantic side alone has added 3,050,ooo
to the yardage to be excavated.
The enormous increase in estimates
for excavation. earlier in the building
of the canal, would have discouraged
the engineers. Now, they look at 1t as
simply meaning a little more time,
simply little more work for the steam
shovels and dredges. AT the outset
Of the construction. 1t was generally
predicted the volume Of excavation per
month would lessen as the difficulties
increased This has not proven to be
the case AS the organization has been
perfected the effectiveness in removing
the dirt has tended to increase. This
is shown by the fact the excavation
yardage for the month Of July. this
year. was 3.241.96s cubic yards. the
largest since March. 1911. The extern
sive use of dredges recently has added
materially to the rate OF excavation.

men of the NJ. & ST. 1. freight.
Cox Most Seriously Hurt.
Cox. who was a passenger on the
M. & st. l.. local, was on his way to
Eldora to attend the Hardin county
fair. He was not even aboard the train
when 1t was struck by the Rock Is
land freight, but he was standing on
the platform watching the brakeman
unload freight. Cox's right arm was
broken and he sustained bad cuts on
the wrist. and head and severe bruises
of the hip. He was struck by fras-
ments of the freight car when the
Rock Island train crashed into it.
6rakenen All in Car.
The Rock Island train struck the NJ.
& St. L. local the fourth car from
the caboose. In this freight car at the
time were the brakemen, Cole. VIII
hams and Wheeligan. who were un-
loading freight. There was a quantity
of iron oil barrels and other heavy
freight in the car. and it is rather re-
rnarkaible that none of the three was
not seriously hurt.
Coles left leg was badly bruised.
Wheeligan had one foot and leg
bruised. and Williams head and a leg
were bruised None Of these injuries
are at all serious.

the east side of the train when the
freight was being unloaded, and none
of them heard the Rock Island freight
coming from the west. Engineer VIII
liam Jennings. Of MarshalltoWn, said
afterwards that the Rock Island
freight did not even whistle tor the
crossing. The engineer told HIM. ne
said, that the train was running about
twelve miles an hour when 1t struck
the freight on the crossing.
The merchandise car in which the
brakemen were working was crushed,
and the engine plowed thru 1t ana
struck the small freight depot. over
turning it. Three NJ. & St L. freight
cars. in addition to the one that was
in the path OF the train. were de-
rallied
The engine of the Rock Island train
was derailed and turned on its side,
and four cars Of that train were
thrown off the track. The Rock Island
enginemen escaped by jumping.
Traffic Delayed.
The blocking OF the track delayed
traffic for several hours, but the NJ.
& ST. l.. had its track open by about
9 O'Clock. The delay to the evening
passenger trains caused them to be so
late this morning that the morning
passengers were run as far as Mar
shalltown and were then turned
around and operated in the opposite
direction.
