Special Cable to The Atlanta Georgian.
PANAMA, Nov. S.--Colonel Goe-
thals has definitely liked upon March,
1914, as the time of his final depar-
ture from The ISthmus Of Panama
This leaves less than Ave months for
aim to complete the canal, reorganiZe
the working force and establish the
operation OF The great waterway.
How FAR his determination has
been Influenced by the attitude Of
the admnlstratio at Washington has
been left TO conjecture by colonel
Goethals He had hoped to vNin the
canal year after its completion. But
in the presence of President Taft two
years ago he said he expected to fin-
ish it early in 1914 and would PLAY
with it year to get it in perfect
condition before turning il oyer to the
Government,
Eager to Get Away
Unforeseen Complications have
dampeued his ardor and he is now
eager TO get away as soon as possible.
The importance OF his determination
to Quit so soon is obvious,
BY March the canal will be prac
tically completed and he hopes to
have demonstrated by that time the
channel is open TO shipping.

Bartholdt Accused in
Own Private Letter
Missouri congressman's Request Of

ST. LOUIS, July 5.-Political oppo-

graphic copy of a confidential" letter
which Bartholdt wrote 20 years ago
to a personal friend, Major Eugene
F, Weigel, whose influence he enlist
ed to obtain from the North Ger
man Lloyd Steamship Company "spe-
cial rates" to Europe for himself and
Mrs Bartholdt.
The communication to Weigel, for
mer Secretary Of State Of Missouri
followed the refusal of the North Ger
man Lloyd Company to extend trans
portation courtesies to the st. Louis
Congressman, despite the fact, as
stated in Bartholdt's letter, that he
(Bartholdt) had expressed the opinion
the immigration question would, no
doubt, form an important factor of
the deliberations of the next Con-
gress," when he expected to become a
member of the House immigration
Committee and on which he was sub

YOUNGPAGESIN
MOCK SESSION
APE SENATORS
Boys LegisIate Against Senatorial
Fire Water and BanefuI
"Soak Book"

WASHINGTON, July 7.-Visitors at
the Senate wing Of the Capitol re-
Gently saw such a session as they
probably never will see again. 1t was
the mock session. with the eighteen
pages of the Senate acting the parts
of Senators, while Joseph O'Toole,
chief of pages, presided in Vice Pres
ident Marshall's place.
The rules provide that pages shall
not be under ~ years of age nor over
IS, and their uniform is a white
blouse shirt and knee breeches. With
great dignity, save for occasional gig
giles, they introduced bills for appro-
pirate reference" offered resolutions
and answered to the names of SEN
ators when the roll was called. In
the press gallery notes on the pro-
ceedings were taken with becoming
solemnity.
One youngster introduced a bill
that almost broke up the meeting. It
bore the title ITO prohibit Senators
from using firewater, and for other
purposes" Another was entitled "a
bill to relieve a bull pup" 1t was
duly referred to the committee on
dog fights.
The opposition to these measures
was led by a lad named Mccoy, and
he continued his leadership with
great zest until a resolution was Of
ferred directing the Sergeant at
Arms to put a Maxim silencer on
Mccoy"
The effectiveness of this parlia-
mentary stroke was increased when
it was noticed that Charles P. Hig-
gins, Sergeant at-Arms of the Senate.
was standing in the doorway grinning.
The bane of a pages existence is
little volume known as the SOAK
book" in which delinquent pages are
soaked" with various penalties.
Young Senator" Mccoy was able to
regain all his lost prestige by offer
ing a resolution that the soak book
be burned with fire."

The announcement Friday that the
defense had secured an important and
damaging affidavit that connected the
States star witness, Jim Conley, more
directly with the crime created a
sensation in the ranks of the prosecu-
ton
Chief Of Detectives Newport A.
Lanford announced that every move
ment of the negro on the day of the
crime had been checked up" and
that 1t was a matter of impossibility
to find anything more damaging
against him than his admission that
he helped dispose of the body at the
request of Frank
In commenting on the affidavit Sc
cured at the office of Joseph II. Lea
Witt Thursday the attorney said that
it would be almost impossible for the
prosecution to break down any state
ment that was made in the affidavit
when the witness was placed on the
stand
Calls Evidence Vital.
He said the witness was a citizen
of high standing and would be one OF
the most important for the defense of
Frank.
Attorney Leavitt said that this par
ticular affidavit was one of more than
so that had been recently secured that
dealt almost exclusively with the
movements of the negro on the day
of the murder. While he would not
comment at any length, he intimate
that the defense had been able to es e
tablish conclusively the exact time
Conley entered and left the factory.
He also minated that affidavitII
had been secured that would show
what time Monteen Slower entered
and left the factory and be able to
prove she left before Mary Phagans
car reached the vicinity Of the pencil
factory.

FIRST, he believes the defense will undertake de-

upon which he thinks the defense will rely.
The first which might be used to break down Conley's

PIXIES PEAK NOT SINKING
Geological Survey Denies 1t Is
an Inch Shorter.

washington. Nov. 1.-The old story
about London Bridge falling down is
not to have an American rival in the
more recent tale about the sinking of
Pixies Peak. The landmark has not
sunk an inch, i'm the opinion of the ex-
perts of the United States Geological
Survey. the final arbiter for the nation
in matters Of this sort.
A story from Denver that Pixies Peak
had sunk thirty-nine feet in the last
three years was exploded in a survey
bulletin issued to-day.
Somebody" the bulletin declared, has
simply been comparing the exact Glti-
tude of the mountain, recently deter
mined by the survey as 14,1O3 feet,
with the old railroad or barometer tg-
ures Of elevation"
The bulletin said there was slight
likelihood thGt Pixies Peak would sink
in the lifetime of the American Re-
public.
