Labor Day was not a day Of res,

ton, there were fully as many other

day who deposited collateral for their
appearance In court today.
A majority OF the prisoners sent to
court today were charged with drunk
enness. The number Of 'drunks" is
said to break Police Court records for
the last year. This would seem to indi-
cate, the police assert. that the new
excise law. whieR became effective on

drunkenness, is not having the expected
effect In decreasing the number of in

ONE NINTH OF WORK
ON CANAL NOT DONE
Slides Have Set Forward Date
for Completing Excavation
by About Three Months.

About one-nirth of the excavation
work on the Panama canal remains to
b. done, according &c the latest revised
estimates of the Isthmian Canal Com
mission.
This takes into account that the to-
tai excavation necessary to complete
the canal has been increased by the
latest estimates 10 232, $4,000 cubic
yards. This is an increase over the
estimate of July 1. 1912, of 2O,126,OOO cubic
yards.
lad the estimate OF a year ago held
good, the digging of the big ditch would
E gave been almost completed today. But
She estimates originally made have in
treased heavily. The chief reason for
The increase in the estimates of a year
ago is found in the slides and breaks
an Culebra cut. These have made il
necessary to calculate on removal of
no less than 9.067,O0O additional cubic
yards of material.
-. Slides Add To Time.
At the rate of excavation which pre-
walls, these slides and breaks alone in
the last year have added about three
months time to the period needed for
completion of the canal. The figures
indicate the serious nature of the prob
lens presented by the Culebra Cut,
with which Colonel Goethals and his
engineers have had to grapple They
also serve to raise in the mind the
question as to just how serious the
Culebra Cut slides are going to prove
after the canal is opened Obviously,
this question, in spite of any official
assertions 10 the contrary, cannot be
answered until the canal Is actually in
operation
In addition to the fact that s.os7O
cubic yards have been added to the es-
Inmates because of slides in Culebra cut
in the central division of the canal,
2,oSf: 900 have been added because of the
work OF sluicing back of Gold HiIl to
lessen the weight OF the bank. This is
a part OF the effort to prevent slides

Suded 3o50.oo to the yardage to be ex-

Just "A Little More Work"
The enormous increase in estimates
for excavation earlier in the building
OF the canal would have discouraged the
engineers. Now they look at It as Sim
ply meaning a little more time, simply
little more work for the steam shoveis
and dredges- At the outset of the con-
that the volume of excavation per
month would lessen as the difficulties
Increased This has not proven to be
the case.
As the organization has been perfect
ed, the effectiveness in removing the
dirt has tended to increase. This In
shown by the fact that the excavation |
yardase for the month Of July, this |
Year, was 2,AlS6S cubic yards, the /
largest since March, 1911. The exten- |
stye use Of dredges recently has added |
naterislly to the rate Of excavation.
