The greatest difficulty of the PAN

ton of the Chagres river and it's trib-

dent was authorized to construct by
the provisions of the Spooner act
was the lock type recommended by
the first isthmian canal commission
in its report submitted Nov. 16, 1901.
This plan provided lake for con-
trolling the Chagres, following along
the plans of the New Panama Canal
Co., thereby utilizing to the fullest ex-
tent the work already accomplished.
Early in the progress of the work
the construction of a sea level canal
was agitated; this is undoubtedly the

the public mind that, in consideration
of the international Importance of
the work the president convened

HELPLESS IN

Has Terrible Experience
oeo!a1 to the EVENING NEWS.

Special to the EVENING NEWS.
Jamesburg, March 2S.-William
Damn, freight checker at the Upper
Jamesburg freight house is recover

has just passed through owing to
the members of his force failing to
check him off when the midnight
freight pulled out for Manasquan
last night, after stop at this point
on it's way from Trenton to the
shore.
Damn had completed his work for
the time being and feeling sleepy
thought that the floor of the freight
car would be cozy place to have a
nap In. The car was locked and the
signal given for the starting of the
train and Damn did not awaken until
he found himself side-tracked at
some unknown point between James
burg and the shore. His hands were
lacerated from incessane pounding
on the door of the car and when
rescued at Manasquan he was well
night exhausted from his efforts to
make his presence known to work
men closely who heard faint
pounding On the door and his calling
for aid. In all he had been locked
in the car twelve hours.
After hours of failure to attract
attention fear took possession of
him that he was being carried west
and that he would be side-tracked In
some out-of-the-way place and starye
This fear added to his suffering and
he was physical wreck when fl
nally he secured aid. At first the
men would not believe his story, but
passing employe recognized him
and he was given transportation to
his home at this place, where 1t was
thought he had decided to run away,
as he had not given any notice that
he had decided to resign his posi-
ton His absence was a source OF
mystery as no knowledge was known
of the experience he had been COM
PEELED to go through.
He can give no reason for his ly-
ing down in the car that he must
have known was soon to pull out
from the freight depot. How he
slept through the drilling of the cars
at the passed stations also adds to
the mystery.
