WASHINGTON INTERESTED
IN SENATOR VARDAMAN

ASHtNGTON. March 2Z--One of
the most picturesque of the Demo-
Gratis who have come to Washington
under the new regime is James Is.
Vardaman, the new senator from
Mississippi.
He has his hair long and brushed
back sharply from a high forehead.
He never wears any hat but big
black SLOUGH felt In the summer he
wears white linen clothes.
Yet, whatever his garb, his appear
ance is so commanding and distin-
guished that everyone turns TO look
at him as he passes.
He is former governor Of his
State and well known not only
throughout the South, but all over
the country.

To him was given full charge of the
department of insect determination.
Colonel sibert's Part of Work.
Ones first view of the colossal
works at Gatun. the giant locks, the
massive dam, half a mile wide at its
base and stretching away like
miniature mountain range to the far
points of diversion on the Chagres-
the big spillway. by means of which
the required stage of water is to be
automatically maintained at all sea-
sons and power furnished for the
electrifcation for the entire zone, and
the economic methods by which these
marves have been wrought-can but
carry with it the conviction that
Lieutenant Colonel William l.. Sibert,
whose mind conceived and whose
energy pushed to completion this I'M
portant portion of the big project Is
entitled to some degree of credit upon
his own account.
Not so. In conformanee to the
stern ethics of the sGoethals regime
Sibert is a mere tool, useful and eff
ficient, truly, but still only an instru-
ment in the master hand of the COM
placent chairman.
Ldeutenant-Colonel Eugene 7. Will
sons name is rarely heard in the
States in connection With the sub
sistence department Of the commits
sion. yet this vitality important
branch of the huge undertaking was
organized by him and Is conducted
with remarkable effectiveness by
that big, brainy, but extremely mod
est person
OF course, there is intimate col
laboration between Colonel Wilson
and Lieutenant Colonel c. A. Devol,
chief quartermaster, and with Pur-
chasing officer Boggs in Washington.
All three of these eminently capable
men are quietly performing their
giant tasks for the good of the sery-
ice and the glory of Goehals.
Assistant Chief Engineer Lieuten-
ant Colonel II. f. Hodges is perhaps
the most brilliant member of the COM
mission in an academic way and has
undoubtedly contributed many actual
gems of suggestion and advice In all
departments pertaining to construc-
ton and excavation. 1t is possibly
his misfortune that he has been Sc
lected by Goethals as the one reel
pient of praiseworthy mention where,
in fact, so many are deserving of the
highest honors.
Toiling steadfastly onward, each in
his own broad channel of efficient
service and each contributing intelli-
gently his vital factor to the gigantic
unit, might also be mentioned a dozen
other highly important but humble
instruments in the Cocktails tool box.

NEW POSTAL OFFICIAL is
NOTED FOR ECCENTRICITY

WASHINGTON. March 27.-The
new third assistant postmaster gen
eral, Alexander Monroe DoclSery. is
one of the odd characters of the new
administration. He probably will be-
come as famous in it as were "Uncle
Joe" Cannon and others of the old
regime.
According to one report, he is adj
dicted to high leather boots. with his
trousers outside. He wears his hat at
a rakish angle and generally has, a
half-smoked cigar between his teeth.
He was born in Missouri in 1915,
and has held some sort of public office
nearly all his life. He is a graduate
in medicine, and has been a banker.
He was member of Congress
eighteen years and served one term
as governor of Missouri.

BURGLAR ALARM
INSTALLED BY
BANK OF WHITWELL

The Bank of Whitwell held recep
tion Saturday afternoon, at their beau
tiful new white brick building in
Whitwell for the purpose of display
ing the working of their new uIglaI
alarm system, just installed. The sys
tenn is very complex apparently, and
yet simple. The workings as explain
ed to a News reporter Saturday by
Cashier J. r. Morgan are about as
follows:
The interior of the vault is lined
with steel plates, whi ch to which at a
convenient place clockwork mechan-
ism is fastened, This mechanism is
connected with electric batteries of
very strong power, which furnish the
electricity. A burglar in irving to
enter the vault would not fail, iu
boring through door or wall, over
head, below, or at any point of the
four sides, to establish a circuit
which Immediately sets gongs on the
inside of the vault, on the outside of
the vault, and on the outside of the
building to striking in rapid manner
These gongs cannot be slenced in any
way except by going inside the vault
and stopping the mechanism by shut
ting off the circuit No device can be
used that will stop the gongs from
ringing. The whole building Is prac-
tically charged with electricity and
the only way to stop it is to unlock
vault and cut off the circuit.
The system is installed in some
1900 banks and no burglar has yet
ever tried to enter the vaults of these
banks and remained undetected. The
Bank of Whitwell is the first bank in
Sequachee Valley to put in the sys-
tenn, and it is quite stroke of enter
prise ON their part to do SO.
Although they are in the Protective
Association of Banks and are not OBJ
'liged to make further protection
against burglars, the management de-
cided that nothing was to good for
their patrons, and so they had this
system installed at considerable ex
pense.
The demonstration was made from
p. m. to p. 4 M. by Mr.. W. E Hus
haw, the representative of the Ameri
can Bank Protective Company, Min
neapolis, MINI, the builders of the
system. Large numbers of people
were in the building during these
hours and examined the workings of
the system with much interest A
mong them were large numbers of
ladies, who were especially invited
by the bank officials.
