CANALS COST $500. OOO, 900
Not Including the Payments for the
Old French Rights, or For the
Canal Strip or For Interest.

Canal Strip OF For Interest
The total cost OF the work on the
Panama canal to May 80 was $295,-
5S7, 518.41. These figures are given
in the Panama Canal Commission 6
report to the secretary of war. Just
made public.
Over SIG, 100000 of this amount
was spent for health, or sanitation.
Over $6,OOO,OOO went for civil adj
ministration, and almost 100000
has been spent thus far on the forti-
fications The actual work of con-
struction and engineering had cost
on May 80 $1S2,1S7,SS6.
There is, besides, the 100000
paid for the old French rights and
for the canal zone; the interest on
the canal bonds, and some part of
the army expenses which might prop
erly be charged to the canal. IN
Guiding these items and the costs yet
to come it is seen that the estimate
of 100000 made by Current
Events years ago will be very nearly
correct

LONDON.-Not since the Titanic

lives and the rescue of 521. Tine
survivors are now aboard fleet Of

The Volturno sailed from Rotter-
dam on October 2 for New York.
According to the officials she carried
% frst-class passengers, 53S steer
age and a crew numbering SO.
The rescue ships reached the scene
of the disaster in plenty of time to
save all, but for hours stood by the
blazing vessel unable because OF the
storm to reach the ag0nized men,
women and children crowding the
after part of the ship which was in
stones throw.
All night the life boats made
desperate effort to get alongside Of
the Volturno, but the waves beat
them back again and again, and not
until the storm abated at daylight
did the rescuers succeed in removing
the survivors from the doomed shin.
Exactly how the rescue was effected
is not known.
The Volturno was well equipped
with boats sufficient, the agents say,
for a thousand people, but the bois-

HAD CHANCE TO STOP PROBE
JUDGE SPEER HAD OPPORTUNI-
TY TO RETIRE, BUT REFUSED.
Technicalities Will BE Barred, and
Investigators VIII Go For Facts.
Speer VIII FIGHT Hard.

WASHINGTON the inVes-
tigatiOn OF the conduct Of Federal
Judge Emory Speer, which will be-
gin in Macon, probably before the
middle Of November, will be conduct
ed without regard to legal rules and
technicalities has been asserted by
prominent members of the house jul
dietary committee, who will conduct
the preliminary gathering of eyi-
dence. 1t is generally understood
that this committee will go straight
for facts on the judges, record,
whether these may be considered
strictly pertinent or not.
Speer to Fight Hard.
1t is conceded that since taking the
stand he has throughout the invest
cation up to the present Judge Speer
will fight every inch of the way
through the investigation He wi
be thoroughly represented by coun-
sci, prepared to hold the investiga-
ton to the strictest lines if he can.
Quibbling over points of evidence,
however, will not be tolerated by the
subcommittee. Amy question they
may ask will be considered pertinent,
they say, leaving it up to Judge Speer
to fight technicalities when his case
comes before the United States SEN
ate, which will act as the final Judge
of his conduct. There the battle will
be on strictly legal lines, but until
n 1,ry
the case at hand will be brought
out.
Given Chance to Retire.
Since a congressional investigation
has been started it has become
known that before any charges were
brought to the attention of congress
Judge Speer was given an oppOrtu-
nifty to apply for retirement and to
get out without coming under fire.
The department of justice was ac-
quanited with the fact that Judge
Speer is not in good health and it is
believed that he would have been
honOrably retired had he chosen to
ask it. Now, however, he will be
held strictly accountable for his acts,
and should he ask for retirement his
request would undoubtedly be de-
MED.
There is no indication that Judge
Speer has any intention of asking re-
tirement. His famous speech in
which he lambasted the inquisitive-
ness of the department of justice
shows that. He precipitated the
fight himself, and now unless his
health breaks down utterly he will
have to stay in to the end. Had he
showed a willingness to get out early
in the investigation the matter would
have been dropped

BUILDING YACHT is BIG JOB
Million Dollars Needed for Construc-
ton of Defender to Resist Attempt
of Sir Thomas Upton.

The cost of building and maintain
ing a crew for a cup defending yacht,
such as will resist the attempt of Sir
Thomas Upton to lift the Americas
cup next year, is estimated to be
about $1,O00,OO0. This includes every
thing, from the designers fee to the
food and pay of the crew of the vessel
This expense viii be divided among
several New y : men, members OF
the New York Yacht club, which has
accepted the challenge of Sir Thomas
Upton.
1t seems strange to layman that
such an enormous amount OF money
could be expended on one vessel, but
to the experienced yaehtsman 1t is
very apparent why the expense is SO
great. In the first place, the materials
for the yacht must be of the very
best The first step in the construc-
ton is the laying of the keel. For
this is used about 80 tons of lead. 1t
is nodded by pouring the metal into a
large wooden mold that has been built
according to specifications. To this
is fastened, by long bolts, the keel
son, a strip of steel running the
length of the yacht.
The ribs and stem and stern posts
are fastened to the keelson. The stern
! post is the one to which the rudder is
attached later. The ribs or frames
are set up, generally about 20 inches
apart, the whole length of the yacht.
AS soon as the frames are in place,
the plates are riveted on. These
plates, made of tobin bronze, are very
wide. They are first oiled, then care
fully bent to the required shape. The
lower row, cardboard strake," is put
on first, the others being built on
this row.
AS soon as the plates are on, the
laying of the deck is begun. The deck
is generally a composition of steel and
aluminium, covered with light wood
en- flooring. Then comes the setting
of the masts and spars. The mast
of the last cup defender was 113 feet
long. This stick is split in hal
and, after being followed out, Is
pasted together with special prep
aration. All the heavy spars are
hollow.
After the masts and sails are set, the
yacht goes out of the hands .of the
builder. Then comes another ex
pense, that of housing and feeding the
crew of about 60. A special schoon
er must be kept to house the crew, a:
the yacht is not fitted up that way
These expenses mount up to thou
sands, and the owners soon find tina
their original estimate is doubled ant
somewhat tripled.

What So Precious
AS a Healthy Baby?
Every Youngsfer Can Have Fine
Digestion if GiUen a Good
Baby Laxative.

In spite of the greatest personal
care and the most intelligent attention
to diet, babies and children will be-
come constipated, and it is fact that
constipation and indigestion have
wrecked many young life. To start
with a good digestive apparatus is to
start life without handicap.
But, as we cannot all have perfect
working bowels, we must do the next
best thing and acquire them, or train
them to become healthy. This can be
done by the use of a laxative-tonlc
very highly recommended by a great
many mothers. The remedy is called
DR.. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin and has
been on the market for two genera
lions. 1t can be bought conveniently
at any drug store for fifty cents or one
dollar a bottle, and those who are al
ready convinced of it's merits buy the
dollar size.
It's mildness makes it the ideal medi-
cine for children, and it is also very
pleasant to the taste. 1t is sure in its
effect, and genuinely harmless. Very
little of it is required and its frequent
use does not cause it to lose its eff
feet, as is the case with so many other
remedies.
Thousands can testify to its merits
in constipation, Indigestion, bilious
ness, sick headaches, etc., among
them reliable people like Mrs. James

West Point Requested
to Abolish Football

Elimination of football from
West Point athletics is advocated
in the annual report of Colonel
Townsley, superintendent of the
West Point Military Academy.
/. Colonel Townsley states that IS
per cent of the men needing the
attention of surgeons at West
Point last year were injured in
football games. This, he asserts,
is no adequate compensation for
the physical training resulting from
participation in the pastime.
Colonel Townsley also recon-
mended elimination of the ap-
pointment system of choosing can
didates for West Point. He sug-
gests a competitive examination
open to the youth of the nation.
