Panama.--The Gsmbos like, the ,asa
artificial barrier to actual communica'
tion between the. Atlantic and Pacific
oceans by way Of the Panama canal, was
rent In twain by the hand of President
Woodrow Wilson at 2:02 o'clock Friday
aftesnoon. Between 5000 and 1000 per.
sons from Panama and Colon cities and
various sections OF the canal zone jour
.neyed to the scene to witness the demoli-
tion Of the barrier, and while the event
Of destroying the dixie was spectacular
to a degree and successful in its every
detail, some disappointment was evineed
because the entire dixie was not de
stroyed
Utter demolition was not carried out
because of the fear that the conclusion
might damage the railroad trestle cross
ing the cut near San Miguel locks. The
two remaining sections will be dynsmited
at some future date. The spectators
lined the banks OF the cut, outside the
zone Of danger, occupying every avail
able vantage point.
As the hour approached when Presi-
dent Wilson would press the button to
explode the numerous charges Of dyna-
mite in the dixie. hush of expectancy
fell Over all. When the minute hand OF
watches passed the hour Of O'Clock the
suspense became still greater, and the
ensuing two minutes seemed like a.
many hours.
Then suddenly came the mufIled roar
Of the discharge of 900 pounds of dyna-
mite, which sent shower of water, mud
and rock high into the air, spreading out
as il went upward. the whole heavily
veiled in cloud Of smoke. IL was con-
sidered among local dynamite experts as
a remarkably clean explosion. A sec
ton of the dixie so feet wide was lifted
bodily from its bed and its component
parts scattered far and wide.

rent made by the explosion whistles were
tied down and the crowd sent up a great
cheer. Not an obstruction was left in
the opening, except some iron pipes
which stuck up here and there.

NEW YORK. Aug. s.-The first

those receipts in stock market specu-
lations--were driven home today by
testimony deemed by the committee
'indisputabie.

stuffed with evidence that II adjourned
without hearing all the witnesses who
were expected. 1t will meet in AL

step. On Monday night. when the
extra session of the legislature Is re-
sumed a report prepared by Eugene

that the investigation has found out
up to this time, will be submitted to
both houses. No formal recommen-
