conceded by every student of the eco
Monies of the canal The South will
become a great station and relay point
for the Oriental traffic of the world. In
a recent number of The Worlds Work,
c. NJ Keys writes:
Whole South to Benefit.
ITO guess whether New York or New
Orleans or some other port will be the
chief beneficiary of the change is lit
tie better than prophecy at this mo-
ment, but there is no reasonable
ground for doubt that the gulf ports
will be stronger in their competition
with New York than they ever were
before 50 far as Oriental traffic is con-
cerned. 1t is not all imagination, this
boast that one hears in the cities of the
South, that in the years to come the
headquarters of Americas Oriental
traffic may be along the Southern
coast"
Southern inland cities will profit ac-
cordingly. So impressed have Atlanta
business men become with the POSSIBLE
tiles of the canal for Atlanta that al
ready a movement is started to send an
Atlanta delegation to the formal open
ing of the canal in 1914. Certainly
number of individuals will go, even if
the concerted movement is without re-
suits.
The canal will cost the United States,
when completed, several millions more
than the $4,000, coo which congress
has appropriated The charge on the
people for the investment of this enor-
mors sum will be $12,1S750O and for
the upkeep Of the canal $3,S77405 each
year. In the light of this, the question
of tolls. which at present is agitating
the land. assumes a real significance.
The Panama canal has cost many
times more than the great Suez canal,
because Of the difficulties which at
tended its cutting difficulties at which
man would have gasped with horrible
sense of impotency a hundred years
ago, difficulties which discouraged the
French and broke DeLesseps and
wrought an international scandal.
To cut through mountains, to over
come the iusiduous enmity Of disease,
to defy every obstacle that a print
tive nature could offer is no childs
play, the French found. as did the
Americans after them.
The greatest difficulty has been the

cuts again and again have topplcd into

TRIAL FOR PARIS
BANDIT TERRORS

PARIS, Feb 3.-With the palace of
justice under a heavy guard of armed
troops and gendarmes, the trial Of TWEEN
ty automobile bandits who created a
reign Of terror in Paris last year be-
gan today. Vast crowds assembled in
the streets about the palace early in
the morning, but only a few were en-
abled to get into the court room where
the trial is under way. So intense has
been the interest in the desperadoes
that mnay men and women came from
distant points to attend the trial and
besieged the presiding Judge for tickets
of admission.
Three hundred and four witnesses
have been summoned. OF these $50 are
under subpenaes for the prosecution
and the balance for the defense. The
bandits, who have been receiving money
from a mysterious source, employed
able counsel to defend them
There was a dramatic moment when
the prisoners were led into the court
room. Their demeanor was marked by
blaVado and insolence, and they glared
around the room. One Of them, no old
or than boy, cured his slender mus
tache points and smirked at the few
women present as though he were al
ready free from restraint and was back
among the Apaches and guerrllas of
the boulevards
list Of 567 questions has been pre-
pared by counsel to be put to the Jurors,
but before Interrogation began Judge
Couinard addressed the jurors. telling
them to take no alarm from the threats
and anonymous communications when
have been received in the past "a hours.
The trial IS expected to last from IA to
is days.
The twenty defendants were members
of the band led by Bonnet and GARNER,
who were shot to death in battles with
the police. Bonnet was killed at Choisy-
Le-Roi. after a fierce fight. in which
thousands OF shots were fired
OF the accused bandits six have been
previously convicted on other charges,
and seven are liable TO life sentences.
In the eyes of some, the dcsperadoes
have become heroes Scores of scented
love notes have been received from
women, and choice fruits ana bonbous
have been sent to the cells OF the ac-
cused mop

The following brief and very much
to-the- point bill has been introduced in
the Ohio Legislature:
Whoever carries a pistol, bowie
knife, dirk or other dangerous
weapon concealed on or about his
person shall be imprisoned in the
penitentiary not more than five

There is no alternative of a fine
permitted by this act. The carrying of
concealed weapons means the peniten-

The dreams of DeLesseps, of the
South's own John Tyler Morgan, of
thousand prophetic minds since Bal
boa first saw the Pacific are about to
be realized. The great god Steam
Shovel, removing mountains, under
mining rivers cutting away all the
time into the heart of the earth, has
triumphed in it's labor.
Colonel George Goethals, chief engi-
neer, according to a recent interview,
thinks that the first ships may go
through the canal about September 1.
Less than ten per cent Of the total
excavation and concrete laying is yet
to be done.
About September /, then, the great
dixie at Bos Obispo in the center of
the canals length, will be blown up,
and the water from Gatun lake will
flow down toward the Atlantic ocean,
through the big cut, through Pedro
Miguel lock. and into Mirafiores lake
d
other end, and the water of the canal
will touch that Of the Pacific ocean in
its kiss of introduction.
Formal Opening in 1914
Ships may 90 through at that time
although it is likely that the formal
opening will not be held until some
time in 1914, not until armament for
the canal arrives and until the de
lenses are established. Then, too, the
towing machinery, the steel work for
the lock gates and other contrivances
which can be installed at any time
will not be available before another
appropriation is made by congress
