and most modern machinery possible,
and insisted that Washington give
him absolute free rein in the conduct
Of affairs in the Zone.
When Colonel George Washington
Cocktails finishes the canal he will be
| So years old That viii be in 1918.
Greater honors are undoubtedly
awaiting him. 1t has been suggest
ed several times that he be made a
major general, outside Of the chief Of
the general staff, the highest rank of
the United States Army.
Colonel Harry F, Hodges graduated
from West Point in 1881, one year
after Colonel Cocktails. They had
been friends at the academy.
Because Of his lock gate work and
because of his ability to overcome
natural obstacles, Hodges has been
credited by Colonel Goethals with the
qualities of a genius. He was born IN
Massachusetts in 1860 and was II
years old when he entered the United
States Military Academy.
Lieutenant Colonel David DUB.
Gaillard has been in charge "of all
excavations in the canal prism ex-
cent that incidental to lock and dam
construction" This means that 1t
has been Gaillard's job to break the
backbone of the Isthmus of Panama
and to clear away the vertebrae. In
a sketch Of Colonel Gaillard in a book
called The Makers Of the Panama
Canal" it is said. 1T has been a
project that the world will always
regard as stupendOus. He has IN
emotionally shoveled the clay out Of
the way, much as the householder
shovels the snow from his sidewalk,
and gone about his business Of cut
ting the backbone OF Culebra."
Lieutenant Colonel William L. ST.
bert, with Hodges and Gaillard, is
member of the Isthmian Canal Com
mission. He has been in charge of
the building Of the great dam and
locks at Gatun, and he has had other
duties connected with the digging OF
the canal at the sea-leyel stretches.

the coast defenses he would have to
make extensive improvements in the
harbors OF Hyannis. Nantucket, New

The great opportunity of Cocktails
life came after he had been attached
to the general staff for four years In
| February 1907, GOethals, still a ma
engineering work, Of which John F.
Stevens had charge. Within a few
months Stevens retired, and Presi-
dent Roosevelt appointed GUethals in
his place on the theory that "a mill
tary man can't quit" And Goethals
didn't quit.
Within a month after he had tack
led the worlds greatest engineering
problems with the energy and vigor
characteristic of him, Goethals was
made a lieutenant colonel and on
December 3, 1903, two years after, he
took charge in the Canal Zone, he
was raised to the rank of colonel.
Within a few days after his ap-
pointment as Chief Engineer of the
Isthmian Canal Commission, Cocktails
was a national figure. Several months
after he started work ne was a figure
Of worldwide prominence.

Taft followed, and Colonel Goethals,
then Captain Goethals, attached to the

George Washington Cocktails was
born in Brooklyn on June 25, 1853.
At 10 years of age he entered the
College of the City of New York,
graduating three years later.
Young Goethals had a hankering
for a military career, and consequent
ly he managed to gain an appoint
ment to the United States Military
Academy at West Point, where he
graduated June y, 1880, ranking SEE
ond in his class. His first assignment
was to Willetts Point, n. Y, where he
joined the Engineering Corps. AS a
cadet GOethals had not had any illu-
siOns about killing Indians, and 50
had studied engineering.
In November, 1882, Goethals was
made an engineering officer of the
Department OF Columbia. and two
years later was promoted to a first

The War Department recognized
the engineering skill OF GoethaIs,
when in 1885 he, still a first lieut. IN

West Point Military Academy. There
he remained for four years, when no

December "A, 1891. Cocktails was made
a captain and placed in charge Of I'M

Completion of the work fell to an

Goethals could complete It the Spanish
War started and COethals was made
a lieutenant colonel of volunteers and
chief of the Volunteers Engineering

honorably discharged from this posi-

Hearing of Motion for New Trial
Is Postponed on Motion Of
Dorsey.

With Leo NJ Franks sentence re-
spited indefinitely, and the hearing
on his lawyers motion postponed for
a week, new sensations were sprung
in the fight for the convicted super
intendent's life with the revelation
Saturday of the contents of a mass
of affidavits charging prejudice
against A. H. Henslee and Marcellus
Johenning, members of the trial jury.
Most of the fire is directed at
Henslee who is charged by many
persons with having expressed violent
feelings on the case before he was
chosen as a juror. He Is accused OF
having expressed his cnoviction Of
Franks guilt and his eagerness to see
him hanged, and to have referred in
profane terms to the prisoners race.
The hearing of the motion for a
new trial was postponed by Judge
Roam at the request of Solicitor Cen
eral Hugh NJ. Dorsey when the case
was called shortly after 9 o'clock Sat-
needed time to look into the volumes
OF contentious made by the defense in

over $15, 600 has been spent in
making the canal zone habitable and
sanitary. This apparently extrava-
CANT expenditure was the greatest
factor in making the canal a reality,
according to engineers. Much of the
failure of the French was due to the
fact that the workmen could not sur
vive the fever and pest ridden coun-
try.
The Canal Zone contains about 436
square miles, about 95 of which are
under the waters of the canal and
Gatun and Moraflores Lakes. It be-
gins at a point three marine miles
from mean low water mark in each
ocean and extends for five miles on
each side the center line of the route
of the canal 1t includes the group of
islands in the Bay of Panama, named
Parida, Naos, Culebra and Flamenco.
The cities of Panama and Colon are
excluded from the zone. but the Unit
ed States has the right to enforce
sanitary ordinances in those cities,
and to maintain public order in them
in case the Republic Of Panama
should not be able to do so, in the
judgment Of the United States.
