The channel between the two is at
the lowest level and practically com
pleted, except the final polish. Great
est activity upon any part of the ca
nal is at the Miraflores locks. Four
teen steam shovels are operating there,
and trainloads of concrete are being
poured into forms. The looks them
Installed, but the machinery and abut-
ment walls are not finished.
South of Miraflores, the canal wi
dens. It's lowest dept has been almost
reached, however. A dixie two miles
south of the locks is the scanty bar
rier remaining between the locks and
the last Leg of the canal-aL run of
about four miles to Balboa, and THE
Pacific. Water is in this reach of four
miles, the canal being finished except
for final dredging of sediment.
At Balboa, the railroad terminal and
shops are being enlarged. There a
large mountain of solid rock, 1000 feet
high, is being razed to secure more ma
teria1 for the breakwater. Three ISL
and5 reaching into the Pacific are be-
ing Joined by the breakwa ter. On
two are being built concrete forts, for
mighty 17-inch guns. On another is
thest island, the sentinel of the canal
in the Pacific, is another fort, precip-
ftOus ad inaccessible except from the
breakwater. Powder magazines are
being built hidden earthwoFks Install
ed and other fortification work begun.
President Taft was told while in
Panama that all working records are
this year and also that the canal, be-
gun in 1904 would be presented com
plete to the government for about $685.

SUFFRAGISTS
HAVE CALLING DAY IN
CAMPAIGN FOR VOTES

New York Jan 7-Undismayed by
the succession of rebuffs encountered
in yesterdays visitations at the homes
of Fifth avenues 40, the suffra gists
Of New York announced, today, that
the first Monday of each month will be
set aside as calling day The homes
of the prominent and wealthy "antis''

of suffra gists with the plan.
Yesterday, a band of the prettiest
suffragists in town, armed with high
resolves and much campaign 1itera-
ture, went from one social leaders
house to another. None of the persons
visited was Eat home to the callers
who were stopped at the doors by

stated that he lives nearly three miles
from the Center school where his four
daughters are obliged to attend be-
cause in the arrangement of the grades
in the different schools his daughters
cannot attend the Sedgwick school
which is only a mile and a, half from
their home His petition for proper
school facilities was refused by the
school committee and the matter came
before a town meeting where it was
referred back to the school committee.
He stated that his petition fully ex-
planned his grievance and that he be-
Iieved that not only all the members
of the school committee Understood
the conditions but that almost every
one in town was conVersant with his
claims.
In the absence of President Cogge-
we'll, the vice. president Arden l.. Judd
was asked to state the case from the
position of the committee. Frank Z.
Brakeman, secretary of the committee
was called on for the information de-
sired. The minutes of the meeting at
which tbs petition was refused unan-
imous1y did not include the statement
that the petition was refused on the
assertion of the secretary that the
committee had no power under the law
to grant it. Secretary Hine had the
law read and explained that it is one
cept jurisdiction in such cases and
provide transportation for children
where it is necessary.
Mrs. Wfnton, the woman member OF
the board explained that the town mad
voted 81, 900 for a portable building to
be erected at the SedgWick school on
the request of the town school COM
mittee and that advantage had Deen
taken of this appropriation the grades
which Mr. hearings children should
attend could be accommodated at a
much shorter distance than they were
now Obliged to traverse. Secretary
Brakeman denied that the town had
voted 81 900 for a portable building
and reference Was made to the town
records but the record of such a vote
could not be found there but 1T was
found in the yearly report of the town
clerk as having been voted at meet
ing on Aug. 6, 1912
The whole matter hinged on the con-
geStion which exists at the Center
school and which Mrs Winton assert
ed could be easily relieved by the cree
ton of the portable building at the
Sedgwick school and the extension of
the district lines to bring many chill
are compelled to attempt the Centre
school where they can only be accom-
modated under the one session plan
which is causing so much complaint
Secretary Hine closed the case until
the stenographers reports could be
examined at a full meeting of the
state board decision will be due
within ten days.
A committee Of three from the
Huntington road district were present
to register a complaint against the
one session plan. They stated that
transportation of the nine children in
their families the children were obliged
to walk to the Center school a dis
lance of two and one-half miles above
Paradise Green to attend the afternoon
sc ssion. Secretary Hinc explained that
their complaint could not properly
come before him at this hearing but

Trenton. Jan. 7-AIl of the plans of

leading the fight to control the Senate
against the old Bailey element and
from him the President-e elect expects
to receive accurate Information as to
the exact status of the Democratic

1t is believed Smith will explain his
plan for re-organizing the Senate ano
doing away with the seniority rule

Cow Wilson has not. made public MS

date attention. Secretary FTins asIr=
ed why the hours Of trips Of the wagon
had not been changed when the gas-
sion hours had besn changed. II the
children are compelled to attend the
irregular Sess1ons the wagon should be
on hand TO transport them at these
hours. Secretary Hine impressed the
compliments with perfect confidence
and his courteous treatment Of the
men was noted not only by the men
themselves but by others present as IN
marked contrast with the soaut cour-
tesy which complaints are usually re-
ceived by the town committee.

hurriedly to the waiting automobile.

cheer. Cameras clicked on every side.

happily as they were driven away

White House during the visit of Presi-
dent-elect Wilson. and continued to
call for him. when the next Execu-
tive was seen emerging from the
building he was greeted with a great
round of cheers. IL is estimated that
5000 person gathered al the Executive
Mansion to sec its next occupant.
