In HASkIN'S NEW BOOK
"The Panama, Canal" Gives Story Of
the Largest Artificial Lake
in the World.

The recent earthquakes at Panama
have demonstrated conclusively the
stability of Gatun darn-that great
structure that holds in check the waters
of the Chagres river and forms the
largest artificial lake in the world.
Gatun dam is nothing whatever like
"a mill dam. It is not a high, straight
wall Of masonry, but, rather. an arti-
fetal hill with a gentle slope that is
hardly recognized as a dam at all by the
tourist.
In fact, the growth Of jungle already
is covering it over, and, as Col. Goethals
said to a member of Congress on the
isthmus, thirty years from now people
will wonder where We put all the money
we spent down here. for by that time
nearly the whole canal will have the
aspect of natural and not an arti-
fetal waterway"
The story of the great Gatun dam and
the controversy that waged about 1t, now
definitely settled by the earthquake, is
told in 1.-THE Panama Canal" by Frederic
j. HaSkin.

CITES REMEDY FOR FLOODS.
Central Control of Ohio River Nee
essary, Say u. S. Experts.

A central federal control of the Ohio
river and its tributaries is needed to pre-
vent repetitions Of the devastating food
such as occurred last spring, according
to a report just issued by the geological
survey. To this should be added unset
fish cooperation on the part OF the
states. cities and other interests
The best and most reliable means OF
preventing these floods. according TO the
surveys experts, are levees and storage
reservoirs. However. to guard against
the most destructive floods, IL Is de-
clared that all available preventive meas
ures must be employed, as none alone can
possibly be adequate.
An immediate broadening of the past
and present meager studies of the conduct
of the many great tributaries OF the Ohio
Is urged In the report, SO as to answer
conclusively the question as to. whether
the floods can be absolutely controlled by
reservoirs and levees.

The surrender Of the revolutionists at
SANTANA, Dominican Republic, marks the
last stage in the latest revolt In the island
republic, according to a dispatch from the
commander of the gunboat Nashville re-
ccived at the Navy Department today.
The revolution, which broke out under
the leadership Of Gov. Cespedes of Puerto

fined to the northern part OF the country.
Gradually the towns In revolt returned
to their allegiance to the government at

Charles A. Prouty will retire In the
near future as q member Of the inter-
state commerce commission, to become
director Of the physical valuation Of rail-
ways No formal announcement has been
made, but arrangements for the change
have been completed with the interstate
commerce commission and with President
Wilson. with whom Judge Prouty had a
conference today.
Commissioner Prouty has been a mem
Der of the commission since December.
1896, when he was appointed by President
Cleveland, and has served continuously
since that time, being successfully reap
pointed at the expiration OF each term.
His present term would expire in 1919.
When legislation was enacted providing
for the physical valuation of railways,
the commission selected Judge Prouty to
have general charge of the work. 1t be-
came evident at once that 1t would be
practically impossible for him to continue
his labors as a member of the commits
sion and give at the same time. ade-
quate attention to the infinite details OF
the railway valuation work. Finally,
very recently, he decided to resign from
the commission. and, at the suggestion
of his associates, take up the work OF
directing the valuation of railways.
Leaves Two Commission Vacancies.
Commissioner Prouty's retirement prob
ably will be about November That
will make two vacancies on the commits
sion for President Wilson to fill this year.
The term of Commissioner Judson c.
Clements of Georgia will expire in De
cember. Generally 1t is expected that he
will be reappointed by President Wilson.
He is a democrat, and served many years
in Congress.

PUTS LIMIT ON THE AGE
OF POOLROOM PATRONS
Maj. Sylvester to Recommend
Restrictive Law for District
of Columbia.

A law requiring persons under twenty,
one years old to be kept out of poolrooms
is to be recommended to the District
Commissioners by Maj. Sylvester. While
In Rochester, n. Y, last week at a police
convention. the major learned that in
many of the cities in New York the law
prohibits youths under age Of eighteen
years from patronizing such places. Pool
Advocates Law for Washington.
Each year during the past several years
Maj. Sylvester has advocated the passage
of such a law for this city. Once the
question reached Congress, but favorable
action was not taken and the law stands
as heretofore. Sunday playing Is not
permitted in licensed places. !
In his recommendation last year Maj.
Sylvester said:
are granted licenses and are In the main
patronized by boys and young men,. The
game itself may be harmless, but the
cOngregatinS OF patrons in many cases
has been followed by drinking and bet
ting on games. In this connection persons
have incorporated so-called clubs, where
playing may be INDUCED in by those
who are not members. but who may be-
come such and secure the privilege upon
the payment OF small fee. Once ad-
mitted they feel that they are immune
from the inspection Of the police and the
authorities, and instances Of betting on
games have come to the knowledge of the
police.
Cost Of License Avoided.
by this privilege the proprietors Of
the club poolroom avoid the cost of a
license. and the proprietors of the open
pooiroom suffer an injustice and the Dis
trict loses revenue. There should be q
law against club poolrooms. and IL such
pool tables employed In such rooms
ton the police should be authorized to
make inspections of the same at any and
all times.
"The law governing ordinary poolrooms
provides that they shall be closed Sum
days and during the hours that barrooms
are required to be closed, but there is
no provision that the Interior Of q pool
room be exposed to view from the street
probably the greatest harm is done
in the so-called pool clubs" said Maj.

Beset at Outset With witchcraft,

Even at the outset this nation was
subjected to the witchcraft which even
came under the name Of religion. But
this is. all wrong. Our great nation was
made primarily for religious freedom. 1t
was for this reason that the men from
across the ocean ventured to its shores
and the Jew, as well as the Christian, is
protected here under the organic law. The
Constitution holds its clause that speaks
for freedom OF the press, the freedom OF
religious worship and the freedom Of
speech. This law will never be changed"

Eighth Street Temple Packed to It's
Capacity to Hear Strong Elk
pressions From Speakers.

From representative Jews of Washing
ton and vicinity who &c thered in "a mass
meeting at the Eighth Street Temple last
might there arose a mighty storm of pro-
test against the trial at Kief of LIendel
Beiliss. Russian Jew. on the charge of
numbering a Christian boy to obtain
blood for the Passover. The temple was
packed to its capacity, many being forced
to stand. After the resolutions Of pro-

speakers were DR.. Leopold Gluslak. ST.

Rabbi William Roseneau of Baltimore
and Representative Tess of Ohio.
Dr. Simon. in outlining the purposes
of the protest meeting, said that none
believed that the protest would reach
the ears Of the car, but nevertheless
they must protest. I do not believe
that 1t is the Jew who is on trial. I
believe it is Christianity that is on
trial. 1t seems that entire Christendom
Is now going on in Russia. Once we
can convince the Christians that 1t is
they who are on trial and not Judaism.
think the trial will end very shortly"
Tenor Of Resolutions.
The resolutions were then offered.
They declared 1t to be the contention
Of the Hebrew that there is no rite in
the Jewish religion that exacts human
blood in its exercise, but that their
religion teaches the propagation Of
peace and love Of fellow-man. They
set forth further there is no sect nor
even secret sect, that calls for Chris
tian blood in any ritual, and that the
eighteen organizations represented at
the meeting last night therefore, pro-
tested against the trial now going on
at h1ev. Copies OF the resolution were
ordered sent to the public prosecutor
at kiey.

DR.. Simon predicted that before a
month had passed BeilIss would be free.
He declared his belief that the court.
when it knew the facts would display the
same courage as that of the French

PROBE OF CONDITIONS,
SOCIAL AND INDUSTRIAL
Investigation Proposed by National
Civic Federation to Disclose
Degree of Progress.

An investigation of the social and
industrial conditions Of the country
is planned by the National Civic Fed
Grafton, through its industrial eco
nomic department. The intended investi-
cation is to be In the nature Of a ma
tional inventory of social assets and
liabilities.
The object is to find out what prog
ress has been made in the past few
decades along the lines pointed out:
where progress has been retarded.
what has caused 1t and how best to
remove the barrier.
"At the last presidential election"
says the report nearly ono million
votes were cast In favor of an eco.
nomic program calling for revolu-
tionary transformation OF society. The
party supporting this program pro-
poses the abolition of our present sys-
tenn of wages and private property and
the substitution therefor OF govern:
ment ownership and operation OF All
the Instruments Of production. distri-
button and exchange.
Hints at Communism.
Recently an element within the
revolutionary movement referred to
has confronted this country with yet
more radical proposal. This element
avowedly aims at the communisuc
operation of industries, which are to
be confiscated through the generai
strike and then directly operated py
the workers themselves.
Does either of these programs point
the way to progress? There seems no
room for question that 1t is both de-
sirable and possible, by a thorough ano
Impartial searching out q the facts.
