equate, and they now say that they
could have accomplished little more
than did the French with the same
equipment In November, 1904, the
first steam shovel found its way into
the equipment. Immediately this gil
gantic instrument became the pre-
siding genius of canal construction,
and there have been hundreds in oper-
alton, ranging in size from the 26-
ton model to the 103-uo giants. The
entire lot of antiquated machinery of
the French has been superseded by
modern equipment.
More than 10000 men were employ
ed as laborers alone, the giant equip
ment requiring that many.
The total cost of the canal, in
Guiding the purchase from the new
Panama Canal Company, the French
combine, and the payment to the Re
public of Panama, will closely ap-
preach S400, 100000. This is by far the
most costly engineering project in
the world, costing S10.O0O00O a mile
Sanitary Work Vital.
over $15,00O,OOO has been spent in
making the canal zone habitable and
sanitar,-. This apparently extrava-
giant expenditure was the greatest
factor in making the canal a reality
according to engineers. Much of the
failure of the French was due to the
fact that the workmen could not sur
vive the fever and pest-ridden coun-
try
The Canal Zone contains about 436
square miles, about IS of which are
under the waters of the canal and
Gatun and MuTahores Lakes. 1t be-
gins at u point three marine miles
from mean low water mark in each
ocean and extends for five miles on
each side the center line of the route
of the canal 1t includes the group of
islands in the Bay of Panama, named
Parida, Naos, Culebra and Flamenco.
The cities of Panama and Colon are
excluded from the zone, but the Unit
ed States has the right to enforce
sanitary ordinances in those cities,
and to maintain public order in them
in case the Republic of Panama
should not be able to do so, in the
judgment of the United States.

and most modern machinery possible,
and insisted that Washington give
him absolute free rein in the conduct
of affairs in the Zone.
When Colonel George Washington
Cocktails finishes the canal, he will be

Greater honOrs are undoubtedly
awaiting him 1t has been suggest
ed several times that he be made a
major general, outside of the chief Of
the general staff, the highest rank of
the United States Army.
Colonel Harry F. Hodges graduated
from West Point in 1881, one year
after Colonel Goethals. They had
been friends at the academy.
Because of his lock-gate work and
because Of his ability to overcome
natural obstacles, Hodges has been
credited by Colonel Goethals with the
qualities of a genius. He was born III
Massachusetts in 1860 and was II
years old when he entered the United
States Military Academy.
Lieutenant Colonel David DUB.
Gaillard has been in charge of all
excavations in the canal prism eX-
cept that incidental to lock and dam
construction" This means that it
has been Gaillard's job to break the
backbone of the Isthmus of Panama
and to clear away the vertebrae. In
a sketch of Colonel Gaillard in a book
called The Makers of the Panama
Canal" It is said: 1T has been
project that the world win always
regard as stupendous. He has un-
emotionally shoveled the clay out Of

shoves the snow from his sidewalk

.INDEFINITEST
Of SENTENCE IS
GIVEN FRANK
Hearing of Motion for New Trial
Is Postponed on Motion of
Dorsey.

With Leo NJ. Franks sentence re
spited indefinitely, and the hearing
on his lawyers motion postponed for
a week, new sensations were sprung
in the fight for the convicted super
intendent's life with the revelation
Saturday of the contents of mass
of affidavits charging prejudice
against A. II. Henslee and Marcellus
Johenning, members of the trial jurE.
Most of the fire is directed at
Henslee, who is charged by many
persons with having expressed violent
feelings on the case before he was
chosen as a juror He is accused Of
having expressed his cnoviction of
Franks guilt and his eaEerness to see
him hanged, and to have referred in
profane terms to the prisoners race.
The hearing of the motion for a
new trial was postponed by Judge
Roam at the request of Solicitor Gen
eral Hugh NJ. Dorsey when the case
was called shortly after 9 o'clock Sat
urday morning. The Solicitor said he
needed time to look into the volumes
of contentious made by the defense in
the pleas setting forth 115 reasons
why Frank should get a new trial
Judge Roam put the hearing off until
next Saturday, and announced that
he would be ready to grant the So
licitor more time then, if necessary.
The order for an indefinite stay was
issued in less than ten minutes after
the hearing Of the motion for a new
trial was taken up.

to grant a further delay"
Attorneys Arnold and Rosser said
this would be agreeable to them
Dorsey asked that he be furnished
with all of the dispositions which the
defense had taken, and Attorney Ros-
ser advised that he would furnish
them to the Solicitor some time dur
ing the day.
Il will set this hearing for $3.50
o'clock next Saturday morning, then"
said Judge Roam. Il trust, however,
Mr. Dorsey, that you will be prepared
by that time"

The great opportunity of Goethals'
life came after he had been attached
to the general staff for four years In
February. 1907 Goethals, still a ma
jor. was sent to Panama to aid in the
engineering work, of which John f.
Stevens had charge. Within a few
months Stevens retired. and Presi-
dent Roosevelt appointed Goethals in
his place on the theory that "a mill
tary man can't quit" And Goethals
didn't quit.
Within month after he had tack
led the worlds greatest engineering
problems with the energy and vigor
characteristic of him. Goethals was
made lieutenant colonel and on
December 3, 1909, two years after, he
took charge in the Canal Zone. he
was raised to the rank of colonel

Skill Is Recognized.
The War Department recognized
the engineering skill of Cocktails,
when in 1885 he still a first lieut. m

West Point Military Academy. There
he remained for four years, when he
was again made assistant to Lieuten
ant Colonel Merrill, who this time
was in charge of improvements on
the Ohio River near Pittsburg. On
December IA, 1891. Goethals was made
a captain and placed in charge of i'm
provements being made in the Ten
nessee River near Chattanooga. This
was Goethals' first big engineering
assignment. The river was a series
of rapids. which made navigation
practically impossible. II was
Goethals' work to clear the river OF
powders and other Instructions and
build channel 14.5 miles long, 10
to 100 feet wide and feet deep.
Completion Of the work fell to an
other however. for before Captain
Goethals could complete it the Spanish
War started and Guethals was made
a lieutenant colonel Of volunteers and
chief of the Volunteers Engineering
Corps. On December 81, 1898. he was
honorably discharged from this posi-
ton and returned TO West Point as
an instructor in engineering.
