Strength of Dixie Questioned.

In brief. these were based on the ap-
prehension that Gamboa dixie would not
be strong or high enough to keep the
water out Of the cut as the Gatun lake
rose In the wet season. Also, steam
shovel operations would be retarded by.
the seasonal rains, which would not at
feet the operation OF the dredges and,
finally. the measure was one Of economy.
1t would have been possible, with the
shovels, TO have removed all of the slides
by January I. 1914. except the Cucaracha
slide which could not have been entirely
carried OF before April 1914
The financial operations Of the canal
are told In big figures: The disbursing
ofncer has paid out $20524, 7o5 on pay
rolls Alone. Congress, so tar has APP
propriated $349. 500 ,223 for canal con-
struction, OF which $10,676,95O went for
Notifications
In great detail Col. Goethals tells the
story Of the engineers work during the
last year and with particular satisfaction
II is reported that the mechanism of the
vast locks and dams was tested with per-
feet success. The gates at Gatun were
swung In one minute and fifty seconds
for each leaf. The heavy iron chains
which are depended upon TO prevent an
unruly vessel from crashing into the
locks were raised and lowered In ample
time 10 meet any emergency, and DEM
onstrated their ability to check or stop
any vessel unless Of very great size and
moving at excessive speed.

TONS OF MEAT SPOILED
BY THE WARM WEATHER
Warning Of the Danger Of Poison
ing Issued by Chicago Bureau
Of Food Inspectors.

CHICAGO. November 24-warning Of
danger of poisoning from tons of meat
spoiled by the unusually mild weather
was issued today by the city bureau of
food inspectors. A great quantity Of meat
was distributed In Chicago asst week for
consumption Thanksgiving day The tenn
perature rose and rema ned in the sixties
for several days. No preparation had been
made to keep the extra stock of meat in
the coolers. and considerable percentage
of 1t spoiled.
Six Thousand Pounds Condemned.
Friday and Saturday the bureau con-
demned 5000 pounds of rabbits and hun
dreds OF fowls. but the situation is be-
yond the control of the inspectors Dr.
B. E. Sherman, chief of the bureau. as
serted the Thanksgiving rush caused pro-
ducers to pack meats before the animal
heat had died out, and shipped them in
non-refrigerator cars.
Products in the state of decomposition
can be detected by their odor,'' Dr. Sher-
man said. Fowls and game only slightly
spoiled are harder to detect, but just as
Likely to cause severe intestinal dis
orders"

Early, Disclosures Best.

If these things are liable to occur
the sooner the better, IL the Official
opening of the canal is to occur jan
uary /, 1915: for. If water were not
admitted this fall, but was deferred
until May /. 1914. the full height could
not be reached until October, 1914
leaving little time for the determine
ton Of the questions. These considera-
lions led to the conclusion that the
water should be turned into the cut at
the earliest date practicable for getting
the dredges to work on the slides.
The present plans therefore, are based
upon the blowing up of GambOa dixie, its
removal by dredges Immediately there
after, the t. ansfer of two suction dredses
and a ladder dredge to the Cucaracha
slide the smaller dipper dredges to work
on the other slides until the full width
Of the channel lie attained, and the pass
age Of vessels through the canal as soon
as channels of full depth and of sufficient
width have been secured.
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1913-11-24
Locomotives Tested.

The locomotives which will tow the
ships through the locks were tried out
and proved their ability to easily handle
the largest vessels. and the electric in
stallation which will involve the use of
q current of 1900 volts pressure was
completely successful.
Altogether the technical sections of the
report seem to demonstrate the accuracy
Of Col. Goethal 9 statement that practi-
cally nothing but the great slide at
Cucaracha remains to prevent the sue
cessful operation of the canal.

SLIDES IN CULEBRA CUT
ONLY OBSTACLE FEARED
Barring These, Panama Canal
vii! Open to Commerce
January l, 1915.
Col. 0oethals Confident the Program
Will Be Carried Out without
Interruption.

Unless prevented by treacherous
slides Of earth in the Culebra cut the
Panama canal undoubtedly will be
opened to the commerce of the world
January /, 1915, the date fixed many
months ago by Col. Goethals, chief en-
gineer Of the canal.
1T has been the general belief that
the effect of the water in the cut would
tend to retard slides, and experience
below the Gatun. locks fully justifies
this belief said Col Cocktails, In his
annual report. "On the other hand. the
geologist Is of the. opinion that the
water may to some extent develop new
slides. Again. much ado was made In
1909 over the seamy character of rock
on the isthmus, through which water
flows quite rapidly, in consequence OF
which the question was raised that the
lake might leak out through seams and
