GUARD MISS DAVIS
TO FOIL THREATS
Detectives Attend Her After
Menacing Notes from Tombs
She Has No Fear.

Miss Katharine B. Davis. Commits
sioner of Correction, has a bodyguard
Because Of the number Of threatening
letters received by her since she issued
the order against the bringing of
food into the Tombs Commissioner
Woods has assigned a detective TO pro-
tect her from the time she leaves her
home until she returns at night.
Deputy Commissioner Lewis in
formed Mayor Mitchell OF the threats
and the latter asked the Police Com
missioner TO furnish protection.
Il have no fear because Of the
threats" said Miss Davis last night.
Il do not believe there is any necessity
for the guard, but ! have made no
protest against il. I suppose that il
was furnished for me because Of the
chivalrous spirit of the men in the ad-
ministration.'
The bringing in OF food 10 the pris-
oners AT the Tombs was stopped by
Commissioner Davis because il had
been possible TO get drugs in with the
food. Recently she received a sharply
worded petition from the prisoners de-
handing that she rescind the new rule
She charged that 1t had been insti-
gated By former Police Lieutenant
Charles Becker.

IRRELIGION IN THE AIR
w. S. Bennett Says Churches
Fail to Hold the Young.

Representative William S. Bennett.
addressing the Library Club at Washing
ton Irving High School yesterday after
noon said that the children Of the for
eign born in America were fast relapsing
into paganism. There is one phase or
the immigration problem. said the
speaker. that we cannot ignore: that Is
the failure Of the Church TO hold the
child in the religion of his parents. II is
a curious thing that the breathing OF this
free American air seems TO promote ire
ligion in the young This is true Of all
religions-Catholic, Protestant and Jew
ish-although the Catholics have been able
to stem the tide 10 some extent"
Deputy Commissioner of Charities
Wright said it cost the city 100000
year to care for aliens in its institutions.
This was due to several causes. One OF
these, he stated. was the failure of the
city TO care for immigrants. Many be-
came infected with disease in the tene-
ments in which they were housed on
their arrival. tuberculosis was con-
tracted by the foreign born in this way.

PANAMA CANAL
BEGINS ITS WORK
Freight Barge Line Starts
Operations To-day-Many
Vessels Waiting.

Panama, May IA freight barge
line through the canal will be begun
tomorrow, when five empty barges
will be towed from Colon to Balboa to
carry cargo back. The first cargo
will probably go through the canal late
next Sunday or early on Monday.
Owing to an accident 10 the dredge
Gamboa the channel through Cuca-
racha will not be completed probably
until Sunday morning. This has oc
casioned delay in passing the Panama
Railroad steamer through. Several
vessels are now waiting an oppor
tunity 10 cross into the Atlantic.
Washington. May 1.-THE tremendous
congestion in interoceanic commerce
caused by suspension OF service on the
Tehuantepec Railroad, in Southern
Mexico, has brought about this rather
premature opening OF the canal TO trade
Several Of the great freight liners, which.
in conjunction with the similar service on
the Pacific, maintained trade lines be-
tween Europe and the Far East by way
of Tehuantepec. have recently appeared
at Colon and Panama offering cargoes
for transshipment overland far beyond
the capacity OF the Panama Railroad.
Finding that Colonel Goethals was wiling
TO assist them BY clearing an adequate
channel for barges. at least through the
Cucharacha slide. the company secured a
lot Of the barges that have been used for
harbor purposes at Colon and Panama
and established this service as an over
flow to assist the railroad In meeting the
trade demands.
Colonel Goethals has not yet reported
to Washington just when the canal will
be opened TO merchant shipping, but the
understanding here is that the water
way ~ practically finished. and that even
now there is a sufficient channel through
the Cuebra cut for almost any warship
or liner, and that II is only from a desire
10 avoid a possible serious accident
through an unexpected renewal OF the
earth movements in the cut that Colonel
Goethals has determined 10 allow A
period for observation before actually
opening the canal
II is understood that this barge service
is TO be operated on schedule OF about
twelve hours from the Atlantic 70 the
Pacific. which allows about an hours
delay In each OF the locks

LOOK FOR FIGHT
In SCHOOL BOARD
Members Expect Split Over Miss
Strachan's Move for Vacant
SUPERINTENDENT.

With the expiration to-day Of the time
limit for fling applications for the va
cant post on the board OF superintendent
of the Board of Education, members Of
the Board OF Education said yesterday
that the name Of Miss Grace Strachan,
among the twenty or more candidates,
would probably cause a split in the ad-
ministration forces in the board when
the place was filled at the meeting two
weeks hence.
Miss Strachan is still in private sana-
forum. where she went on May 10
undergo an operation for appendicitis. AT
her home il was said yesterday that she
was doing well. and would in all proba-
bility be able to go TO her home the
latter part OF next week The candidacy
of the leader in the equal pay fight and
president of the Interborough Association
Of Women Teachers is strongly in
dorsed.
II Miss Strachan gets the place OF as
sociate superintendent, at a salary OF
ST. 800, it will not be without bitter fight
This was indicated by Abraham Flexner,
who, as was told in The Tribune yester-
| day, in discussing her candidacy said
There is. OF course. at no time any
excuse for promoting to the board OF
superintendent anybody whose main rec.
concentration is pull"
1t had been reported that Thomas W
Churchill, president Of the board, looked
favorably on Miss Strachan's candidacy
This he denied yesterday.
My mind is entirely open in the matter
Of filling the vacancy. I want TO see the
best possible person in the place. II Miss
Strachan is the best, then she should be
there. but l have not gone into the stu
alton at all.
/ In a letter sent yesterday to members
OF the Board OF Education the Public
/ Education Society OF the City of New
/ York goes on record as favoring the APP
pointment to the vacancy in the Board OF
superintendents of man competent tc
/ organize and put into operation system

The Rev. Bouck White, whose raid on
