TRENTON, N. j.. Jan. 3O.-If New
Jersey wants to have complete in
vestigation of the cost. of electric
lighting in the State, as furnished by
the lighting corporations, Philander
Belts, an engineer of the Public
Utility Commission, has declared that
an appropriation of $780, 900 will be re-

year and a half in which to complete
the work. This statement is made in

prices for electricity charged in New

the rate 1t will have to be based upon
a sliding scale of discounts for guam
tative use.

Earth Slides
May Halt Canal

WASHINGTON, Jan. 3O-Recent
slides of earth and rock into the
Culebra cut will make necessary
great activity if the Panama canal
is to be opened before the end of the
present calendar year. as has been
predicted by Colonel Goethals. More
than half billion yards of earth and
rock have fallen into the cut this
month, and engineers fear that an
other impending break at Purple Hill
will add not less than one million
yards.
For a long time the notorious Gu
curacha slide on the east bank of the
canal has been quiet, but on the aft
ernoon of January Is the earth move
ment began so rapidly as to carry
away some of the dirt cars and COM
pletely covered all of the railroad
tracks in the canal, except one Pur-
Pile Hill is holding back tremendous
amount of earth, slowly moving
toward the cut, but the hill is show
ing signs of weakness and should it
break away, the canal prism would
be almost filled at that point.

D., |. ( ". HALTED
BY BOYS PRANK
They Open Switch and Car
Thrown to Track Stops
Traffic.

Two small boys who threw over a
switch in the South Orange yards
of the Lackawanna railroad at S:25
today held UP suburban traffic
beyond that point until long after
noon.
An eight-car train, the engine
driven by W. F. Kent, pulled into the
station from Hoboken. 1t was the
trains last trip, and it was to be
placed in the yard. Kent uncoupled
his engine and drove it past a switch.
This he threw over so that the loco
motive on it's return would run on the
track leading to the turntable.
When Kent started to back the en-
CINE he did not consult the signal to
learn whether or not the switch was
in proper position, for he was satis-
fled that it was. He had no intima-
ton that anything was wrong until
his engine crashed into the last car
of his train, wrecking the tender and
causing the car to topple over on
the west-bound track. j. J. Hansen,
the fireman, was thrown out of the
engine cab. landing in the tender.
Kent was thrown to the floor of the
engine cab. When he picked himself
up he saw two boys running across
the yards into Valley street. He be-
lieves they threw over the switch
after he had passed through.
A few minutes later the first mil
lionaires special bearing wealthy
commuters from points west of South
Orange. arrived This was held up,
as were perhaps a dozen other trains,
which extended in a long line past
the South Orange station.
In a half-hour a wrecking crew
came and started to remove the
smashed car from the tracks More
than three hours passed before they
had succeeded in finishing their job
Meanwhile the westbound trains
were run over the eastbound express
tracks This remedied conditions
slightly, but 1t was long after noon
before the regular Lackawanna
schedule was in effect again.
