PAID TO MAN
DECLARED DEAD BY LAW
William Thomas Proves Claim
to $475 Left by Will
of Friend.

louisville, Pa, September 27.-Dead
by law, William Thomas of Marshall
town, Iowa, has come here to claim a
bequest and so successfully established
his identity that the court ordered that
$475. left to him by John Jenkins OF St
Clair. this county. in 1871. be paid.
Thomas, war veteran. had been long
buried from the world in a soldiers homo,
but he was very much alive when adver-
tised for in newspapers.
The case is one Of the most peculiar
ever brought to the attention of the local
court Thomas came to this country In
1853. and lived at St Clair for several
years before he married Elizabeth Will
liams Of Beaver county. They journeyed
to the west. and were practically lost for
nearly sixty years, relatives interested
being unable to learn their whereabouts.
Several years ago, a relative died in
Wisconsin. leaving Thomas a bequest
of $500 Efforts on the part Of the family
and of Wisconsin authorities failed TO
locate him, and he was declared legally
dead In Wisconsin, and his estate was
divided between three cousins.
When the bequest of Jenkins came to
light several years ago, local attorneys
engaged in an effort to locate Thomas,
but without avail. Hearing that he had
been declared legally dead in Wisconsin,
the local authorities advertised and were
greatly surprised when Thomas walked
into the office.

Estimates Receive Attention.

The Commissioners go into session
daily at IL o'clock am. for the purpose
OF considering the estimates. and have
an afternoon session. which frequently
lasts until 5 O'clock. AS the budget is
required to be in the hands of the Sec
rotary Of the Treasury by not later than
October Is. night sessions probably will
be in order, beginning with next week,
as the Commissioners will have but
little time in which to complete the
task.
While the budget-framing Job is one
that Is conducted behind closed doors,
there are numerous indications to the
effect that complete cooperation is
marking the efforts of the District heads
to prepare the estimates so that they
will! best meet the needs Of the munich
pality.
So absorbed are the Commissioners in
the work that they have adopted the
practice Of lunching daily in one of
the rooms composing the office suite of
Commissioner Siddons. The room has
been provided with buffet luncheon
facilities. including an electric stove, on
which coffee is made for the officials by
Commissioner Siddons' messenger
The Commissioners usually take no
more than tkree-quarters of an hour
for luncheon. and begin the afternoon
work on the estimates with as little
delay as possible.

TUG SAILS THROUGH
THE GATUN LOCKS
Thousands Cheer Most I'M
portant Step in Operation
of Panama Canal.

PANAMA September 27.-The most
important step thus far toward the op-
Grafton of the Panama canal took place
yesterday, when the seagoing tugboat
Gatun. drawing twelve and a half feet
Of water, was successfully passed
through the Gatun locks. 1t now
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 to Col
Goethals, chairman Of the canal COM
mission, and canal officials generally.
Hundreds Brave Suns Rays.
All day long hundreds Of persons
men, women and children-withstood
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 had reached height of
little more than sixty-five feet. or
within twenty feet of its normal leveL
The operations were conducted with
great care, and everything went
through according to schedule. me
three chambers-upper, middle ana
lower-on the west side of the locks
were used on this occasion. The men
worked far into Thursday night max
ing everything ready for the operation.
The upper lock filled in the forenoon
and in the afternoon the water was al
mitted to the middle and lower locks,
but it was not until 4:45 pm. that the
water in the lower lock had reached
the level of that in the sea channel
outside.
Thousands Send UP Cheer.
At that hour the sea gate was swung
and a moment later the tug, which
had been in readiness all day in the
approach channel, turned it's head to-
ward the entrance.
AS the vessel passed inside the lower
lock chamber a mighty cheer went up
from the assembled thousands that
lined the lock walls, the tugs whistle
was blown loud and long and all the
whistles in the neighborhood joined IN
The Gatun was in charge of Capt.
Stewart. Among the party on board
engineer of the Atlantic division of
the canal. under whose supervision the
Gatun locks were built; Col. Harry F.
Hodges. assistant chief engineer and
operating machinery. and Maj. j. p.
Jervey, who has had personal charge
of the masonry construction of the
locks. Col. Goethals was on hand all
day. but did not make the trip
Lock Gates Work Perfectly.
The tug, gayly decorated, in the
roomy lock chambers, appeared like
toy boat in a tub. It's navigation was
personally supervised by w. G. Com
Der, head of the dredging operations
of the canal. The vessel was raised
to the middle level at 5:54 pm. and
passed into the upper chamber at 6:15
pm. Then at GAP pm. the last gate
was swung, and. although the tropic
night had fallen, the waiting crowd re-
manned and watched the tug sail out
on the placid waters of Gatun lake.
The rousing demonstration of the early
afternoon was then repeated.
The massive 500-ton leaves of the
lock gates performed their functions
perfectly, working with the precision
and nicely of well oiled door

One Possible Exception.

One exception. however, may be made
In the case of taxicab companies. 1t
would be a comparatively easy task for
the commission, with funds now at its
disposal. to get line on the value Of the
property of the taxi concerns, and, If 1T
decides that 1t has jurisdiction over these
companies. it will proceed at once to an
investigation OF taxicab rates.
The commission probably will arrive
at a decision early next week concerning
its jurisdiction over taxicab companies.
The new board OF Commissioners today
brought to a close it's first week of active
work on the preparation of the District
estimates for the fiscal year to begin
July 1 next. With more than $4,000, 900
available for improvements-the amount
being approximately q million and a half
dollars in excess Of that Of any previous
year-the board has more gigantic task
on its hands than any Of its kind that
ever faced a previous board Of Commits
sioners.
So far. the municipal authorities have
been working only on the personnel
feature Of the estimates and have not
begun consideration of improvements
which Congress may be asked to provide
for. They are checking over the names
OF all employees Of the local government
and 1t Is considered probable that salary
increases will be ordered in a number of
instances.

Living Up to Traditions.

Living up land I use the word up

does, however. make him q gentleman.
No naval officer can be truly successful
who is not a gentleman. and therefore
no man who has the interests OF the
navy, or Of the country, at heart should
be willing to see any but gentlemen,
true gentlemen, commissioned. And
surely no condemnation should attach
to the men who demand that character
besides professional and physical fitness
should govern In appointments. II q man
from the ranks can fill the bill he Is well
come; and the man from Annapolis who
Is not up to standard Is unwelcome
