THE FIRST BOAT
THREADS LOCK
Sea-Going Tug Passes Into Gatun
Lake.

Panama, Sept. 27.-The most i'm
portant step thus far toward the op-
Grafton of the Panama canal took
place yesterday. when the sea-S going
tug Gatun, drawing 12k feet of
water, was passed successfully
through the Gatum locks and today
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 g
to Colonel Goethals, chairman Of
the canal commission, and canal Of
ficials generally.
All day long hundreds of persons,
men, women and ch hildren, with
stood the burning rays of the tropic
sun to see the act of passing the first
vessel from sea level to the level Of
Gatun lake, which yesterday had
reached height of a little over six
ty-five feet, or within twenty feet of
its normal level.
As the vessel passed inside the
lower lock chamber, mighty cheer
went zip from the assembled thous-
ands 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 massive 500 ton leaves Of the
lock gates performed their functions
perfectly, working with the pre-
cision and nicely of we'll oiled

insane NEGRO IN
ATTACK ON GUARD
Lucas Strube, Attendant at State Re.
formatory, Is Seriously
Hurt.

Anamosa, Sept. 27.-Lucas Strube,
guard at the state reformatory,
was severely injured by an insane
convict yesterday morning. Mr..
Strube sustained cash in his scalp
about five inches long that exposed
the skull and required a number of
stitches.
The convict who caused the In
jury is a negro He has been violent
in the past.
Yesterday while being given his
bath he showed fight. A guard nam
ed Eldred was in charge of him. In
some way the prisoner secured Ell
dred's club. When Strube, who was
located in the outer corridor, dis
covered the trouble he went immed-
lately to Eldred's assistance. The
blow over the head followed.
The negro finally was subdued.

John Griffin.
The reward will not be paid un-
til Sheriff Griffin returns today from
Anamosa. The brothers of the girl
notified Sheriff Griffin yesterday to
pay the reward to Knox if he was of
the opinion the Wapelo county
sheriff was rightfully entitled to it.
1t is not believed that Sheriff
Dowis of Appanoose county will
cause any trouble in the event that
he does not share in the $3.50 re-
ward. He knew nothing of Miss
Luka's presence in Centerville until
Knox arrived there and requested
him to assist in the search.

HEARING SOON
Margaret Luka May be Sent to Home

Des Moines, Sept Eft is
thought probable that Judge De
Graf will order the Luka girl sent
to either the Good Shepherd home at
Dubuque or the Industrial School
for Girls at Mitchellville.
The hearing takes place next FRI
day morning. Until that time the
girl will be kept in the Juvenile
home Meantime the search for
Milton Heavlin will be pushed.
Sheriff John Griffin will return i'm
mediately to Des Moines from Ana
mosa to direct the search for the
girls sweetheart.
An information charging Heavlin
with abduction probably will be fl
ed within the next few days.
The $3.50 reward offered for in
formation concerning the where
abouts of Margaret Luka probably Y
will go to Sheriff Knox OF Ottumwa.
through whose efforts she was locat-
ed. 1t is possible that Sheriff Lee

aided Knox to make the arrest, may
demand a portion OF the reward,

Ten Men Arrested, Suspected of Ala
bama Robbery; All Deny
Crime.
A FORTUNE WAS STOLEN
Yeggs Blew Express Safe And
Got Not Less Than
$4,000.

Tuscaloosa, Ala, Sept. 27.-Dep'
uty sheriffs from Birmingham and
Montgomery and armed farmers OF
Tuscaloosa county have abandoned
the search for the three men who
held up and robbed the Alabama.
Great Southern passenger train at
BibbvilIe Siding, Ala, Thursday
night, and the case is now entirely
in the hands of the railroad special
officers Five men have been ar
rested at Eutaw, Ala, below Tusca-
loosa, and five others have been TAX
en- to the Tuscaloosa county Jail by
special agents. All of these men
deny connection with the holdup.
Various estimates last night place
the amount of booty secured as high
as 100000. Conservative esti-
mates, however, set the amount of
loot at $4,000, including a heavy
shipment of currency from the east
to New Orleans. This cannot be
verified, however, at this point.
Mail Clerk Leander Poole yester-
day gave out the following version
of the robbery:
"The robbery was committed by
three masked men, two Of whom
were young and nervous. One did
considerable promiscuous shooting
and cursing in the mail car. Bull
lets passing through the mail car
narrowly missed four men.
"The last charge of dynamite that
blew the express safe was very
heavy. It Jared us, 100 yards away.
They had lights that threw rays so
they could see us but we could not
see them. AS they were marching
us back to the passenger coaches !
fell into a cattle guard and sprained
my ankle. One robber warned us of
the cattle guard just as fell.
"I believe l can identify the rob-
Der who did the shooting and ours
ing. I got a good look at him."
The killing yesterday of Deputy
Jim Bonner of Birmingham, was ac-
cidental. The posse of which he was
a member was six miles north of
Tuscaloosa. They were all sitting
in caboose of the special train
and in preparing to get off at Tus-
caloosa Deputy w. ]. Cope of Mont
gomery reached over and drew his
rifle toward him. The weapon was
discharged, the bullet piercing the
heart of Bonner, who had the dogs
in leash.

Rumored San Francisco Plant Vic
tim of Systematic
Robbery.
REFUSES TO COMMENT
Superintendent Declines to Confirm
or Deny Story Of Dis
covery.

San Francisco, Sept. 27.-A cir
cumstantial report published here
late yesterday of the discovery OF
the extensive thefts in the United
States mint brought neither confir-
nation nor denial from the mint Of
ficials. Superintendent I. W. H.
Shanahan, who succeeded the late
Frank Leach in that position, said
in response to all inquiries that any
statement concerning the report
must come from Washington.
According to the rumor, which is
said to have had its origin in the
gossip of mint employees, a count of
the coin stored in the mint which
has been in progress for some weeks,
has revealed systematic pilfering
from the sacks. In most instances
the thefts amounted to no more
than two or three dollars from any
one sack, but there were persistent
reports yesterday that bag OF iron
washers had been found in the
vaults, having been substituted for
$4,000 gold.
Thirty government agents have
been at work on the count of the
coin which was ordered preparatory
to change in the Office Of the sub
treasurer in this city. Some days
will be required to complete the
count. Superintendent Shanahan
was asked last night whether he had
submitted an official report to the
treasury department Il cannot say
whether there is or is not anything
to report" was the reply.
According to the rumor suspicion
has been directed to one or more of
the employees OF the mint.

MAN CHARGES
A SW|NDLE
G. w. Hall Believes He Has Been
Victimized to Tune OF
$1,000.
ARE LOOKING FOR STRANGERS
They Sold Him Exclusive County
Rights to Sale of Bath
Tub.

Iowa Falls, Sept. 27.-G. w. Hall
of Iowa Falls has concluded he vast
ed $1,000 paid two strangers for the
county rights to sell patent bath
tub. He, aided by the police and
county officials, are looking for the
two strangers.
Mr.. Hall became interested in the
proposition when he made several
trips with the young men, during
which they advertised the tub. He
declared they represented to him
that the rights in Grundy county
had been disposed of. They urged
that an investment of $1,000 would
bring big returns.
Mr.. Hall says he signed four
notes, two for 1925 each and two for
1875 each. The two men deposited
the notes in local bank, taking
certificates Of deposit, and later con-
verted the certificates into negoti-
able paper elsewhere. Then they dis
appeared.
Mr.. Hall has become convinced
there is something wrong, and he
has filed information in the mayors
court charging the men with obtain
ing money under false pretenses. Or
ficers so far have failed to locate
them.
