''''i'f THROUGH GATUN
LOCKSAT PANAMA
Most Important Step To-
ward Operation of the
Canal Yet Taken
COLONEL COCKTAILS
is MUCH PLEASED
Hundreds of People Waited for Hours
in Burning Sun to See Spec
tacle-The Massive Gates
Work Perfectly

Panama, September 26.-The most I'M
tion of the Panama canal took place
today when the sea-going tug boat Gatun,
drawing 121a feet of water, was success
fully passed through the Gatun locks
and tonight floats on the bosom of Gatun
lake.
This was the first attempt made to
operate the locks on the canal and the
result was highly pleasing to Colonel
Goethals chairman of the canal commits
sion, and canal officials generally
All day long, hundreds of persons, men,
women and children, withstood the burn
ing rays of the tropic sun to see the act
of passing the first vessel from sea level
to the level of Gatun lake, which today
had reached a height of a little over 60
feet, or within 20 feet of its normal level
All According to Schedule
The operations were conducted with
great care and everything went through
according to schedule
The chambers, upper. middle and lower,
on the west side of the locks were used
on this occasion The men worked far
into Thursday night making everything
ready for the operation. The upper lock
filled in the forenoon and this afternoon
the water was admitted to the middle and
lower locks. but it was not until 4:45
p. m. that the water in the lower locks
had reached the level of that in the sea
channel outside
AT that hour. the sea gate was swung
and a moment later the tug, which had
been IN readiness all day in the approach
channel, turned its head toward the en-
trance.
As the vessel passed inside the lower
lock chamber a mighty cheer went up
from the assembled thousands that lined
the lock walls, the tugs whistle was
blown loud and long and all the whistles
in the neighborhood Joined in the chorus.
The Gatun was in charge of Captain
Stewart. Among the party on board were
Col. William l.. Sibert, division engineer
of the Atlantic division of the canal un-
der whose supervision the Gatun locks
We're built, Coy. Harry f. Hodges, as
sistant chief engineer and designer of
the canal locks and operating machinery;
and Maj. j. p. Jervey, who has had per-
sonal charge of the masonry construction
of the locks Colonel Goethals was on
hand all day, but did not make the trip.
Looks Like Toy Boat
The tug, gaily decorated in the roomy
lock chambers appeared like a toy boat
in a tub.
Its navigation was personally super
vised by w. p. Comber, head of the
dredging operations of the canal The
vessel was raised to the middle level at
5.45, and passed into the upper chamber
at 6:15 p. M
Then at 6:42 p. m. the last gate was
swung, and although the tropic night
had fallen, the waiting crowd remained
and watched the tug sail out on the
placid waters of Gatun Lake The rous-
ing demonstration of the early afternoon
was then repeated.
Ihe massive 500 ton leaves of the lock
gates performed their functions perfectly.

Washington, September 26.-The tariff
bill is tonight a completed document, ex-

cotton futures. After more than two
weeks of constant work behind closed
doors, the eight democrats representing
the Senate and Ho1se, as members of
the conference committee, late today set
tied the last of their other differences
and reached the final decision that they
could not agree on the cotton future tax.
Early tomorrow a completed proof of
the conference report will be taken up
for revision by the democrats The six
republican members of the conference
committee were summoned today, to meet
at full committee meeting at 10 o'clock

Will Dispose of Security
Holdings in All Anthra-
cite Concerns
OFFICIALS DECLINE
To DISCUSS SALE
Suggested Company Sells Property to
Avoid Possible Friction With the
Government and TO Confine
Capital to Transportation

Philadelphia, September 2G What is be
lieved to he the first move on the part
of the Pennsylvania Railroad company
gradually to relieve itself of property ex-
traneous to transportation. was made To-
day when President Samuel Rea an
nounced that the board Of directors had
decided to dispose of its security holdings
in all anthracite coal companies that are
attached to Its system. The simple .sate-
ment that the company intended to sell
its hard coal interests was all that could
be CLEANED at the general offices of the
corporation. Officials declined to give
reasons for the proposed sale or tell who
the prospective purchaser might be-
The announcement came close upon the
report that the big railroad corporation
is about ready to divest itself of It's con
trolling interest in the Cambria Steel
company which amounts to about S22-
00o,0Oo The Pennsylvania, also holds sub
stantial interests in the PENNSYLVANIA
Steel company and the Maryland Steel
company
In the absence of any official informa-
ton as to the reason for divesting itself
of its hard coal property, a report spread
that the Pennsylvania officials. taking
note Of the signs OF the times, were pIan-
ming TO dispose of the property IN order
not to come in conflict with the conf
modities clause OF the federal law which
prohibits railroads from transporting art
icles or commodities mined or manufac-
tured by them or under their authority.
Will Not Discuss Sale
Pennsylvania officials would not dis
cuss the report. In financial circles it
was suggested that there might be a
double purpose in selling the coal prop
erty-to avoid possible friction with the
federal government and TO confine its
capital to transportation, thus avoiding
the annoyances of operating outside con-
Germs.

seven months of this year up to July 81
the Pennsylvania anthracite shipments
amounted to 3,760,91s tons, out of total
of 40.339,7 ,706 tons of all companies The
coal companies owned or controlled by
the Pennsylvania include the Susquehanna

it is estimated that the Pennsylvania s

TENNESSEE SOLONS
TO ADJOURN TODAY
Believed Regular Filibuster
Will Be Successful
SPECIAL MESSAGES
Action of Governor Hooper Sharply
Criticised by Representative Nc
Dade-No Gunmen in Evil
dence During the Day

Nashville, September 26.-Tomorrow
is the last day of the special session
of the legislature called by Governor
Hooper and indications tonight are
that the regular democrats will be sue
cessful in preventing the so-called law
vote. The filibuster which has been in
force for some days was unexpectedly
prolonged today when Governor Hoop
er sent two special messages to the
house. The messages arrived just after
Representative Taylor had appealed
from a decision of the chair when the
speaker refused to entertain a molten
that the rules be suspended for the inn
mediate consideration of the law en-
foreement bills. Quick to take advan-
tage of the new situation Representa-
tive Drain floor leader of the regulars,
jumped to his feet and made motion
that the rules be suspended for the
immediate consideration of the anti
pass bill a measure advocated for pass
age by Governor Hooper in one of his
messages.
No Progress Made
The debate which followed together
with presentation speeches and other
oratorical features. filled the days pro-
gramme and when the house adjourned
the status of the law enforcement bills.
was practically the same as when the
house convened in the morning.
The action of Governor Hooper in
sending in the special messages was
sharply criticised by Representative
McDade, a regular democrat, who has
been acting as floor leader of the adj
vocates of the law enforcement bills.
Representative Todd. another regular
democrat, was also displeased with the
arrival of the messages, but did not
mpugn the motives of the governor.
The other messages sent in today by
the governor had reference TO AIT
amendment of the funding act.
There We're no gunner present in
the house today. SO rigidly was the
rule excluding visitors from the house
enforced that Representative Mil
ler who recently resigned as mem
ber of the body, was ask ed to retire
from the hall. Tonight the house con-
sdered only local bills.
Close friends of Governor Hooper
stated today that in the event the leg
islature adjourned without the law
enforcement bills coming to vote that
another extra session will be called.

Senate Concession Declined

In the final session today further fu-
tile attempt was made to settle the fight
over the cotton futures tax. The Sem
ate conferees changed front and agreed
to give up the Clarke amendment alto
gether but the House members refused
to permit this. The Senate, in turn, re-
fused to accept the proposed Srnith-Lever
compromise, and in ie end 1T was de-
terfnined to report disa agreetnent to both
branches of Congress and let the Senate
and House determine what should be done
toward regulating or taxing the trading
in cotton for future delivery.
The final differences in the bill were
adjusted as follows
The House receded from its rate of u
cent per pound on lead ore, and ac-
cepted the Senate rate of q cent per
pound
The Senate receded from its rate of 121S
per cent ad valorem on zinc ore, and ac-
cepted the House rate of 10 per cent
The House gave up its demand that the
woolen tariff rates go into effect at once
and agreed to the dates fixed by the Sem
ate, namely: Woolen goods, January
1914; raw wool, tops and waste, Deeem-
ber l, 1913
The House receded from its provisions
as to cotton threads, yarns and cloths
accepting the Senate amendments. which
revised the schedules upon new basis of
thread count.

requests We're sent to the republican con-
ferees to meet tomorrow morning, but
Senators Lodge and Penrose were not in
the city. and hope of getting the bill into
the House tomorrow finally was given up
1t is expected that objection will be
made to the conference report when it
reaches the House Monday, forcing it over
to Tuesdays session. Advocates of the
cotton futures compromise known as the
Smith-Lever plan will endeavor to round
up support in the House for motion to
send the bill back to conference again.
with instructions to the conferees to
adopt the compromise plan. similar mo-
ton probably will be made in the Sem
ate.
. 1t Is believed the bill cannot be com
pleted by the two houses and sent to the
President before the latter part of next
week owing to parliamentary stages
through which it must go and the new
conference that must be arranged on the
cotton futures question.
