BI1TTONS DISCUSS CANAL.
Big Ditch Figures Prominently i'm
Proceedings of the Closing Session
of Associations

Birmingham, Eng, Sept. 17.-The
Panama canal figured prominently in
the proceedings of the British associa-
ton which closed today. In the eco
nomic section Prof. A. w. Kirklady
described the economic effects of the
canal. while in the engineering section
DR.. Vaughn Cornish, distinguished for
geographical research, discussed the
land slips in the canal, especially in
Culebra cut.
DIR. Cornish declared that these
slips were due to seams of coal un-
derneath rOtting, which resulted in
the thrusting up of the granite and
evil was unforeseen by geologists
and could be attributed to the cutting
away of the forests along the canal
that formerly absorbed the moisture,
which now is penetrating the stratum
underlying the canal. He said that
nature would continue to take thi:,
revenge until the forest were re-
grown, when the underground flow
would cease.
In the discussion that followed Prof
Kirklady and Sir Oliver Lodge, said
that without biological research the
canal would have been impossible; it
was only by the destruction of the
micrObe of malaria that white men
were enabled to work there. What the
Americans call the Panama ditch" is
now healthy, they declared, as New
York, This was tremendous
achievement.

PETTY RoBBEl,IEs CEASE.
With Commitment to Gang OF WIN

Sumter's police seem to have land.

VIII Howell, colored. for stealing
anu after trial. placed him on the
gang for thirty days. Will gave the
ponce much trouble before they got

many n sleepless night, but at last
they got the hook I'm his gafs and he
was prousat to land and placed high
ana dry, where he will cease his
preSing on the public for some time
to come. ,.
The case Is an interesting one. For
several weeks petty robberies were
committed at various places in the
city. Chickens, chicken feed, harness,
clothing and other articles were stol-
en- finally ending up with the depart
ure of pair of trousers containing
valuable watch and more than
twenty dollars I'm cash from the resi-
dence of Mr.. III. II. Norris on Wright
street. The police seemed at their
wis end for time. daily they hunted
Tor clues and nightly they roamed
the residence sections of town hunting
the thief. but he was not to be found
and the clues could not be obtained.
They had their suspicion of at least
one man. but they had no evidence.
finaiiy they secured clues. Big foot
prints were left by the thief at one
place and then another. Several
places these foot prints were found,
out the thief had gone when they
were discovered and In each instance
he had taken away some articles of
more or less value. s,.. .,.... ..r..
Finally n search was made Of the
room the negro lived In and moth
Ing was found. The arrival about
that time OF bloodhounds from the
state penitentiary and the trailing
and arrest of another man, not sup
posed to be In any way connected
with the robberies. but who lived in
the same house, caused the police to
act. Will Howell was arrested and
confined In Jail and the other negro
was released. The day after the ar
rest was made the long looked for
evidence was discovered, a sack of
chicken food which had been stolen
the night before the arrest was 10.
Gated. where II had been sold by Will
Howell. Howell plead guilty and
went to the gang for thirty days.
since he has been there evidence has
been obtained against him in other
cases. A bride. saddle and a set of
harness. were recovered which had
been sold by Howell The owners
of the 6sfdies an and the harness hav.
been foupd and VIII will be tried for

as his present term expires.
The chief feature Of the arrest and
sentence.is. however. that 1t has stop

was the sthief who did the stealing.
AT the game time his arrest would
have the% effect OF causing any other
