WORK AT PANAMA is
BEGINNING TO LAG

Washington. D. G., Sept. 17.--Al-
though August was busy month for
the workmen on the Panama canal, yet
the figures for excavation just received
from the isthmus show smaller OUT
put than for the preceding month. The
total for August was 2,65S,765 cubic
yards. compared with 3,241,968 yards
III July
The explanation is found in the fact
as the canal approaches completion
the width of the prism remaining to
he removed rapidly difninishes and
fewer steam shovels were operated In
the restricted space. Another factor
was the greatly increased rainfall IN
August
The amount Of concrete placed dur
ing August was also less than IN July,
for the reason that the great lock ap-a
proaches and chambers are practically
complete and the work now going on
is simply closing up openings left for

NEED ENOUGH STRING
TO TIE MOTHER EARTH

Washington, D. c., Sept. IT,. Some
idea Of the amount Of mail handled by
the postofice department and the
energy required to prepare properly
for delivery is conveyed In call issu-
ed today by Postmaster General Bur.
Lesson for bids for 100000 pounds Of
twine with which to tie UP letters.
That even this vast amount may not
be sufficient Is indicated by the added
appeal that inventors of substitute ty-
ing devices enter the competition for
the material "as it may be required by
the postal service during the remand
er Of the year ending June 80, 1914"
"This Is what the proposed contract
MEANS" said an official today. 1T
would be simple matter to tie up old
mother earth with the amount Of
string we are to get. We might
stretch communicating line to one
of the planets"

Albany, N. Y, Sept. 17.-Acting Gov.
Glynn and legislative leaders were
none too hopeful today that sufficient
number Of assemblymen would be pres

very, serious financial embarrassment
unless the revenue bills and appro-

Many Of the present assemblymen
were unsuccessful in obtaining nom1-
nations as candidate for reelection,
and the usual drain on their private
resources, owing to repeated recalls to
Albany since the extra session con-
vened, has put them in no enviable
framr Of mind toward incurring fur
ther personal expense. Their salaries
ceased with the adjournment OF the

Gov. Felker on Thursday In the matter
OF his extradition. Safe In the know
lege that the United States district
court will review his case on writ
Of habeas corpus II he loses, the Mat
teawan fugitive was hopeful and
lighthearted and smiled anl waved at
the crowds which greeted him on the
way to the railroad station. His train
was due to reach Concord at 2:10 p. m.
Thaw celebrated his court victory
OF yesterday over William Travers Jer-

OF the, hotel where be had been quar-
tered here. Around him sat an admir-
ing throng ofshotel patrons. He play

the modern ragtime. For over an

have played longer had not his custod-
ian, U. 8. Marshal Mute and Sheriff
Drew, told him 1t was bed time.
Ex-Gov. Stone of Pennsylvania, was
the only lawyer with Thaw today. The
others, satisfied with their work in
having the federal hearing indefinitely
suspended, left town last night to rest
before the extradition hearing.
Mr.. Jerome also left. He will go to
Concord, probably on Monday of next

Joe Bowman co-worker with D9vid

Yesterday pleaded guilty to obtaining
money by false pretenses, came to OF
tumwa and gave himself UP, to Sheriff
w. 3. Knox yesterday afternoon.
Bowman states that he wants to
square the crooked deals he was In and
VIII throw himself on the mercy Of the
court. He wishes to pay the parties
who cashed the bogus checks
and Is willing to work in order to earn
enough to satisfy all his debts
The coming Of Bowman to Ottumwa
for the purpose OF giving UP was
brought about by reading Of the case
In the papers. He has been at work
since he and Swihart left here. on the
section for q railroad near Oskaloea.
Seeing the report of his partner giving
up led him to come here Sunday. but
his nerve failed him and he returned
to Mahaska county where he has been
stopping with married sister while
working there.
Upon the advice OF his sister he
came down to Ottumwa again Monday
and spent the night here, calling late
yesterday afternoon on the sheriff to
whom he told his story.
He corroborated the tale told by
Swihart relative TO the horse and
checks. He, said that he accompanied
woning horse and rig, and that they

loosa and has remained there since.
