What Will BECOME
OF HAWTHORNE ?

Atlanta, Oct. 10.-Keen interest at
taches for many reasons to what
course Julian Hawthorne will pursue
when he is freed from the federal pris-
on next Wednesday. Will be quietly
efface himself for the present, or will
he engage in some stunt that will bring
aim lot of publicity? He was quoted
month or so ago as saying that
when he was freed he would walk back
O New York, but the New York pa
pers, some of which are friendly to
i'm, criticized severely scuch a pro-
iect, saying that it would be extremely
bad taste. Since his incarceration
Hawthorne has written more and been
more in the public print than any 9TH
err prisoner in recent years.
Hawthorne has been model pris-
oner and is being freed next week be-
cause his term has been considerably
hortened by good behavior.

EXPL0DES CHARGE OF DYNAMITE
THAT BLEW AWAY THE LAST
OBSTRUCTION IN THE "BIG
DITCH"
ELECTRIC SPARK TRAVELLED
SEVERAL THOUSAND MILES
Practically Everything Is Now Ready
For Big VesSels-Small Craft Al
ready Sailing The Waters.

Washington, D. c., Oct. 10.-A lit
tie electric spark, which originated
when President Wilson pressed the
button in the white house, was the
silent agent which sped more than
1000 miles over land and under wa
ter and ignited the immense charge OF
dynamite which practically removed
the last obstruction in the Panama
canal Electrical expects calculated
that within four seconds after Presi-
dent Wilson pressed the button in
Washington, the current threw a
small switch on an apparatus at the
Gamboa dixie, which in turn set in mo-
ton other apparatus which furnished
the current for exploding the
charges.
Elaborate preparations had been
made by the western Union Telegraph
company and the Central and South
American Telegraph company for the
practically instantaneous transmissio !
of the presidents signal.
From Washington to Galveston,
Texas ,15,SHR HR CMFCMFWMFWY
Texas, 1866 miles, single wire car
ried the spark. There it was taken
UP instantaneously by sensitive re-
peating instruments and sped over the
cable along the bottom of the gulf OF
Mexico to Coat Sea Coal Cos, Mexico
1913 miles further.
From that point it sped over land
across the Isthmus of Thuanatepec
ever wires of the line of the Thuanpa-
tepec National railway, 1873 biles
more on it's journey, to another cable
station at Salina Cruz On the Pacific
ocean, where other sets of sensitive
telegraph instruments snatched it UP
and hurried it 766 miles over another
cable along the bottom of the Pacific
ocean to San Juan Del Sur, Nicara-
qua, cable station, where other deli
cate machines transferred it to still
another sable and shot it along us
miles more to Panama. There the
spark emerged from its long subma-
rine Journey to the overland telegraph
wires of the Panama Railroad COM
pany and completed its mission at the
Gamboa dyke.
Hours before the time set, experts
OF the telegraph and cable companies
were busy perfecting their arrange
ments so the presidents flash might
have an unobstructed passage.

WATER power RIGHTS
OF BROAD SCOPE In
new RAILROAD CHARTER
Westchester Railroad Bill Has Long
Clause Giving Power to Generate
Electricity From Water Falls.

Hartford, April 3-The committee on
Railroads is exercised at having dis
covered in bill providing for the in
corporation of the Westchester North
ern Railroad Company, proposed to
run between White Plains and Dan
bury, a clause which allows the rail-
road to acquire and develop any wa
ter power in the State for the genera
ton of electricity, and to transmit it
over any lands or streams whatever,
from the point of generation to the
point of use.
Already bills of a somewhat similar
nature have been before the committee
on interpretations, and one of a, much
broader scope which allows any rail
road in the State to use any water
power for electrical generation, waits
hea ring before the committee on Jul
dietary.
The Westchester Northern, which it
is proposed to incorporate, or charter,
has as its sponsors Hiram M. Kochen-
sperger and Benjamin I. Spock of New
Haven, Augustus IS. May of Bridge
port Arthur E. Clark of Wallingford
and Robert T. Bird of Hartford It
is capitalized at So, 100000, with Ii
cense to raise the capitalization if de-
sired.
Section of the charter, which is
the water power section, reads:
said corporation is hereby author
lied to acquire and develop water
powers fOr the generation OF 0I6cCr1c-
sity and to construct and acquire, or
hold, use and operate, plants for the
generation of electricity by means of
water power, or steam, or both, Or by
any other means and also to establish
and maintain upon any private lands
and across, over or under any streams
of water from any place where it is
generated or developed to any part
of any lines Of railroads or railways
where such electricity is to be used
or operated, suitably constructed and
supported conductors, including lines
of poles and wires and underground
conduits and wires and properly sup
ported cables and including all proper
fixtures and appurtenances, and also

REF0RMATORY TO
BE OPENED IN MAY

Cheshire, April 3.-There has been
little work done on the Connecticut
Reformatory here during the past few
winter months, but with the opening
of spring it now looks as if every
thing would be started up again with
a rush and if present plans do not
fail the institution will be ready for
occupancy about the middle of May
or as near that time as possible. OF
course the buildings will not be
tirely complete at SO early date, but
with even a few inmates there they
can be set to work, helping get things
in shape, thus lessening the expense
of hiring laborers-
The appropriation made by the
General Assembly of two years ago
practically stopped for a time, al
though a few of the men employed in
carpenter work, painting, ETC., were
retained During January and Feb
ruary very little work was dole, things
were practically at a standstiII and
told that something would probably
be found for them to do in a few
weeks. If they cared to wait.
Several weeks ago the Committee
IN Appropriations of the General AS
sembly visited the institution and
carefully inspected all of the build
ings, under the direction of Supt. AL
bert Garvin. The result of the visit
was that the committee recomm ended
that a general appropriation of $780,
900 be made and a special appropria-
lion of $4,000, SO that the great
amount of work to be done before the
Institution would be in proper condi-,
hon for receiving inmates, could be
rushed. This makes 100000 with
which those in charge of the construc-
ton OF the buildings and other things
necessary can set to work to complete
the reformatory.
To the average person this may
seem like a large amount of money to
spend on the reformatory, but when
Its size and various opportunities
which will be offered to the prisoners,
are considered, it may be believed that
the appropriations will not be any too
much. Very little of the painting has
been done and men are now at work
preparing the walls in those buildings
where painting will be necessary, APP
plying the paint as fast as possible.
The 400 cells have been installed, but
the guards quarters, laundry, bake
shop kitchen, school rooms and other
buildings have yet to be equipped,
and there are many other improve
ments to be made before the instttu-
ton can be opened
the temporary house which was bait
for him east of the cell house. The
building is not expensive, butt it is ex-
pected the superintendent will use it
until the other buildings are complet-
I'd and sufficient amount of money
can be secured to construct another
.7ouse for him.

his men kept working all of the time
