BOAT THROUGH GATUN LOCKS
TUG DRAWING TWELVE FEET OF
WATER PASSES SAFELY.
500-Ton Leaves of Gates Perform
Functions With Precision of
Well Oiled Door.

Panama, Sept 29.-The most i'm
portant step thus made toward the
operation of the Panama canal took
place when the sea-going tugboat
Gatun, drawing IL feet of water, was
successfully passed through the Gatun
locks and floated on the bosom OF
Gatun lake.
This was the first attempt made to
operate the locks on the canal, and
the result is highly pleasing to Colonel
Goethals, chairman of the canal COM
mission, and canal officials generally
AS the vessel passed inside the low
er lock chamber mighty cheer went
up from the thousands 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 tug, gaily decorated, in the roomy
lock chambers, appeared like a toy
boat in a tub.
Then at GAP p. m. the last gate was
swung, and, although the tropic night
had fallen, the waiting crowd re-
NAMED and watched the tug sail out
on the placid waters of Gatun lake.
The rousing demonstration of the
early afternoon then was repeated.
The 500-ton leaves of the lock gates
performed their functions perfectly,
working with the precision and nicely
of a well-oiled door.

Paris, Sept. 29-M. Quadratstein,
one of the Paris jewellers who assist
ed in laying the trap which resulted
in the arrest of five men charged
with stealing the famous $625,000
pearl necklace which disappeared in
July, nearly caused riot in a vaude-
vile establishment where he had been
engaged to recount his experiences
in capturing the thieves. AS he made
his appearance, Quadratstein was
greeted with storm of boots and
Kisses from all parts of the house. He
tried to go through his performance,
but, finding he could not, he shouted
to the audience that he had been
cleared of all suspicion Of completely
in the theft of the pearls and that he
was proud of what he had done. He
retired just as the audience was show
ing ominous signs of getting out of
hand.

LARGE GATHERING
OF ROAD BUILDERS
THIRD ANNUAL CONGRESS GOOD
HIGHWAY OPENS AT
DETROIT.
OVER 5000 In ATTENDANCE
Largest Gathering of Delegates in
History of Movement-Many I'M
portant Topics to Be Discussed
During the Week.

Detroit, Mich, Sept. 20. - Today
marked the opening session Of the
largest gathering of road builders and
persons interested in better roads,
ever assembled in the history of the
world, when Logan Waller Page,
called the third annual American Road
congress to order in the Fayne gar
denS.
All Interested Present.
Government and state officials,
members of state highway commits
sions, road organizations and other
bodies interested in the better conn
struction and maintenance of high
ways throughout the country are pres
ent as delegates.
After the opening of the meeting by
Mr.. Page, president of the congress,
who is also the director df the United
States Office of public roads, the con-
gress plunged into the work at hand.
The congress is being held under
the joint auspices of the American
Highway association, the American
Automobile association and the Michi-
gan State Good Roads association, the
latter acting as host to the many dele
gates.
That the public at large is becoming
more interested in good roads through
out the country is attested by the
large attendance at this congress.
The first congress, held in Richmond,
Va, in 1911, brought out about 1900
delegates and more than 1000 attend
ed the congress last year held in At
Lantic City. 1t is estimated that about
5000 persons are in attendance at the
present congress.
Discuss Important Topics.
Every phase of road building and
maintenance will be discussed at the
sessions, which will continue until
Saturday.
One of the most important topics to
be discussed will relate to national
highways and national aid in con-
structing and maintaining roads. The
congress will endeavor to agree upon
q policy of national aid which, with
the united support of good-roads work
ers throughout the country, will be
submitted to congress at the next ses-
sion. State legislation will also be
discussed under the auspices of the
American Bar association and an at
tempt toward the formation, through
the proper officials, of an interstate
commission to codify and simplify the
existing state road laws will be made.
