BISHOPS HAVE LOST FIGHT
Vanderbilt Authorities Invest
Part of Carnegie Gift.
fBy Telegraph to The Tribune.

Nashville. Tenn, July 2l.-Another
chapter has been written in the noted
controversy between the College OF
Bishops of the Methodist Episcopal
Church, South, and the board Of trustees
OF Vanderbilt University, as TO who
should control the university.
The board and Chancellor Kirkland
have accepted the 100000 Carnegie en-
dowment to establish laboratories for the
medical department Two hundred thou
sand dollars has been received and In
vested by the executive committee, and
DR.. Henry s. Pritchett has advised the
authorities that the remaining
$500 600 is at hand.
The bishops are powerless to prevent
the acceptance of the endowment unless
the higher courts should finally award
them control of the university. In the
mean time the chancellor will proceed
with plans for new buildings and will
visit almost every medical college from
New York TO ST. Louis for suggestions.

Convict Perfeets Inventions.

Jefferson City.-James Monroe, a
st. Louis convict. paroled by Gov. Ma
jor to Rev. Edward A. Fredenhagen,
of Kansas City, has perfected three
inventions during the six years he
has been in the prison. There is
merit in each of them, he thinks, and
his first endeavor after he gets on
his feet will be to push them. One of
his inventions is a door finisher, or
six-drum twin sander, which, he says,
will more than double the output of a
door factory Another of his inven
lions Is an automatic headlight for To-
comotives, and fish plate for rail-
road tracks. Patents for these will be
applied for as soon as Monroe can
raise sufficient money to pay the fees.

Giant Steam Shovel.

now we are shoveling the crest away
from the canal in order to relieve the
pressure from above. Before the move
ment in January began the excavation
in the cut at that point had been
carried to within Is feet of the canal
bottom. Digging out that Is feet of
material removed the support of the
Cucaracha, and down it came. If we
could have turned in the water and
taken out the 10 feet with dredges,
think the pressure of the water would
have done much to prevent the slide. "
What of the future?" l asked. rs
there any danger of slides occurring
after the canal is opened?"
Absolutely none, | believe" he an
swered. when the excavating and
dynamiting have ceased and the wa
ter is in, it will be quite safe. We
have the slides and breaks mapped
out as far back as there is any indi.
alton OF their extending, and are
working back to those lines. 1t is
merely a matter of persistency and pa.
tience."
when will the water be let into
the cut?"
In October" replied Colonel Goe-
thals. But there will be no celebra-
ton over the event That one in Jan
uary. 1915, is giving us enough worry,
and we don't forget The premature and
ridiculous celebration by Ferdinand de
Lesseps many years ago. We will just
| turn the water in-that's all. Then we
can complete the excavation there
with suction dredges. which will do
the work cheaply and rapidly"
And when will boats be passing
through the canal
That ! cannot say, but the sooner
the better, for the operating crews
must be properly trained before that
January celebration. l wouldn't have
an accident occur Tor anything. If we
cannot have commercial vessels going
through before then. shall ask the
government to send naval vessels
through so the operating forces can

ing those claims, and il it does the
railroads will be called upon to re-
fund all the money in excess of the 2
cents per mile they have collected
since the 2-cent law became effective.
The attorney generals department
is looking into the question to deter
mine what action may be taken. AS
sistant Attorney General Fitch and
Attorney +. j. Bean, of the public
service commission. almost have
come to the conclusion that the state
can maintain an action against the
railroads by which a master in chanc-
cry can be appointed by the supreme
court to collect the claims and make
a finding for adjustment of them.
Master Could Adjust Claims.
This master could give notice to the
people to send their claims to him for
adjustment, and he could hear and de
termne them and make a finding for
the respective amounts due each. The
railroads could be compelled to rem
der q statement to this. master OF the
tickets sold at their different stations
in Missouri to other points in this
state, and from this the master could
find out how much more than the 2
cents per mile have been collected,
and after ali the claims are adjusted,
the surplus would escheat TO the state
and the railroads would be compelled
to pay IT into the escheat fund.

What is true of the 2.cent rate law
is also true of the maximum freight

The state labor department has fig.

since they were enacted amounts to
more than S17,000,0O0.

Colon, c. Eff you wish to hear
language" just say "Cucaracha" to
one of the engineers engaged in build
ing the central division of the Panama
canal.
Cucaracha in Spanish means
cockroach. In the Canal Zone 1t
means the greatest OF the numerous
slides that have made the completion
of the Culebra cut so different and SO
expensive. Why that slide was named
the cockroach l could not discover.
Certainly even the Panamanian cock
roach is not so large, and he moves
much more swiftly.
Before the first French company
quit operations in 1889 the Cucaracha
began to slide, and 1t first gave the
Americans trouble in 1905, the second
year of their work on the canal. Be
tween then and July l, 1912, nearly
100000 cubic yards OF material was
removed from the canal because of
it. The slide had broken nearly 1900
feet from the axis OF the canal, and
covered an area of AZ acres. Last fall
the engineers were congratulating
themselves on having the cockroach
stopped, but in January it started
moving again, and nearly covered the
bottom of the cut.
What is going to be the cost of
that slide to the United States?" l
asked Colonel Goethals as we stood at
the edge of the Culebra cut and look.
ed across the chasm to where the
steam shovels and hundreds of men
were laboring to remove the vast
mass of earth and rock.
Well" the chief engineer replied. "our
estimate is that by the time it is all
cleared up it will have required the
expenditure of about S5,000,000 more
| than the cut would have cost If the
| slide had not occurred. 1t is still NOV.
