The State Sanatorium for the

In the first and moderately adj

institution Was closed by its Board

The new Board will reopen it Deem

only fifty patients, but already over

The very limited capacity of the.
institution, together with the meaere
funds provided for it's maintenance
make it impossible for the Board to
accommodate all the tubercular sick

be found necessary to make the in

Tremendous Work Done

(By United Press Association)
Panama City, Oct. 10.-When the
waters of the Atlantic and those of
the Pacific were welded today and
the breaking in two of the backbone
of two continents finally completed,
the United States has achieved what
for two centuries has been dreamed
of, attempted and abandoned as too
gigantic a feat for human effort.
Americas triumph in the building Of
the canal will be written down in his

ments of mankind. twill stand up as

Egyptians overcame what would seem
to have been well-nigh insurmount-

flood of nearly $400,OO0,000.
1t is hard for those not here on ths
scene to appreciate the vastness ct
this work, despite the volumes tnss

five times around the earth at the

what is meant by 232,353,000 cubic

work has called for. Or reduce to
the picture of a solid block the A.

have gone into the construction of the

Threatens Court Martial
Of Retreating Generals
For Abandoning Torreon

Mexico City, Oct. 1O-The evacu-
alton Of the city of Torreon by the
federal troops was confirmed today
by Manuel Cara Aldape, minister Of
the interior, who declared that Gen.
Trucy Aubert, the federal command
er, with Generals Mungmia, Ignacio
Bravo and Escuredo, is now at Hipo-
Tito, near Saltillo. The latter three
commanders, according to the min
lister of the interior, are to undergo
court-martial for the evacuation of
Torreon.
The report that General Aubert has
gone over to the rebels is generally
discredited here. Gen. Gustava Mas
has been recalled from the interior
to cooperate with Gen. Lauro Villar,
who left Mexico City last night with
400 federal soldiers for Torreon.
Confirmation of the execution by
the rebels at Torreon of General AL
'iiSH Will HiS Sldll anu q nuTlDer OF
federal soldiers has been received by
the war department from unofficial
sources. General Alvirez had started
for Durango when he was defeated
and his artillery captured by the
rebels.
The bill in the Mexican chamber ot
deputies for the postponement of the
presidential elections came up for
first reading yesterday but was post
poned for two days.
Provisional President Huerta de-
clared that the bill would be unavail-
ing in any event since it would be
thrown out by the senate in case the
chamber of deputies should pass it.

at Hipolyte yesterday under the guild
ance of DR.. Edward Ryan of the Red
Cross. They are expected to reach
Saltillo late tonight or early tomor-

The details of the battle and the

rumors more or less authentic are ill

General Felipe arrived with strong

reached La Iona. General Villa with
about 5000 men fell upon them, kill
ing Alvirez and cutting the column
to pieces. The remnants fell back to
Torreon. Villa with the cannon and
captured ammunition began to ad-
vance on Torreon. Meanwhile Aubert
was rushing forward from Saltillo TO
relieve Torreon. He reached MADEIRA,
about half way. He was met there by

"The statement that Andrade does

foolish. Why, Holabird knows this

worlds championship today, when
they defeated the fighting Giants
with score of to 5, after McGraw's
med had made final desperate rallies

Bender weakened great ly toward
end, but in the ninth trial with the
Giants in batting order he pulled

Barry then doubled, scoring two.
Merkel did his best at once by driv

getting warmed, holding the Athletics
hitless after his first inning.

The Giants supporters were cheer.

ankle is better and that he would
probably be able to play the entire

he would be able to play again in the

Leans knee, strained yesterday, is
apparently well.
