GIGANTIC TASK IMPOSED
Placing Panama Railroad on
Firm Foundation in Bot
tomIess Quagmire.

Less spectacular, because not SO much
in evidence as the titanic struggle of the
army engineers with the tremendous
landslides in the Culebra cut, is the bat
tie being waged at another point in the
Canal Zone by the men who are trying
to keep the Panama railroad on top OF
an almost bottomless quagmire. When
the line of the old road was changed,
owing to the canal construction, it was
necessary to cross what are known as
the Brazo and Quebrancha bottoms in the
Bed Rock 200 Feet Below Surface.
Bed rock here lies almost 200 feet be-
low the surface. overiaid by thick, soft
clay. decomposed vegetable matter and
sand. The entertainments over these bot
toms must be from sixty to seventy feet
In height to keep the railroad out Of the
water, which is slowly accommodating in
Gatun lake.
The history Of the famous Lutin cut
OF across an arm OF Great Salt lake is
being repeated in this effort to obtain a
stable foundation for the railroad. Thou

Tracing the Assailant.

This afternoon the police are question
ing residents of 18th street to learn. if
possible, whether or not the person who
did the shooting loitered In sight of
that corner for several hours before
the commission of the crime, a telephone
message inquiring for the young man
having been received at the Reilly home
about 8 o'clock
1t was almost certain that Reilly
would pass near the corner OF 18th and
streets on his way home II he patron
lied either the East Capitol street or
the 18th and d streets line The loca-
ton of the scene of the shooting would
indicate that he came from the direction
of East Capitol street.
This afternoon the police found q rain
coat near the scene where Schultz is
said to have shot at the policeman, but
1t has not been identified as the property
of the supposed assailant.
Should it develop that the man who was
seen walking along the tracks at Tuxedo
was Schultz, the police say, he probably
reached there by going out the Bladens-
burg road and following the line of the
Pennsylvania railroad tracks Had he
gone to Benning he probably would have
encountered Mounted Policeman Wander
schaaf, who was riding along that thor
oughfare at that time.
From Tuxedo 1t was an easy matter for
him to have boarded an early morning
accommodation train on the Pennsyl-
vania railroad or he could have boarded
a car on the Washington. Baltimore and
Annapolis electric line.
The police endeavored to have all
trains to Baltimore watched for the flee
ing man. It is regarded as possible that
he stopped in the woods. and is in hiding.
A thorough search of the country beyond
Tuxedo is being made for Schultz.
When the Shooting Occurred.
The shooting occurred shortly before
o'clock on 18th street northeast, just
south Of B street, and only q short dis
lance from Reilly's home. at 1919 B
street northeast. where John P. Reilly,
father of the wounded man. resides.
Mr.. and Mrs. Reilly and other NOM
bers of the family FASTENED to the
scene of the shooting when informed
of it, reaching there shortly after their
SON had been taken to Casualty Hos
nital. The young man was suffering
from two bullet wounds. one bullet
having entered near the left side Of
the abdomen, while the otner was In
the left thigh.
