100000 Cubic Yards of Earth
Still Menace Canal Channel

WASHINGTON, Jan. 23.-Not less
than 1,5O0,OOO cubic yards Of earth and
rock, and possibly more, will have to
be removed from the famous Cucar-
acha slide in the Culebra cut before
it will cease to be a menace to the
channel, according to advices re-
ceived at the Tstn,nian Canal Commits
sion today. The engineers by con-
slant work with seven dredges have
managed to keep open channel $50
feet wide at the narrowest point. But
the whole side of the hill continues In
slight motion from the top clear to
the edge of the canal channel, and
the slide is more than a third of a
mile long.
The greatest "rubberneck" convey
ance in public use will be the passen-
ger carrying barge which is now being
fitted up to carry sight-seers through
the Panama canal. It's foundation Is
a steel mud dump barge brought to
the isthmus in 1909, and 1t is 154 feet
long, 32-foot beam, 10 feet inches
depth and 500 gross tons.

Wealthy Montclair Men
Want Mothers Will Rejected

BRIDGEPORT, Conn, Jan. 3D.
William T. Cross and his brother Fer
dinand, of the firm of Cross & Begue-
lin, New York, jewelers., with a coun-
try home at Frances place, Mont
clair, N. j., yesterday began action
in the Superior Court to have the
will of their mother, Hannah A.
Cross, widow of Ferdinand Cross, re-
jected upon the grounds of undue in
f1uence and incompetency. Lawyers
for the litigants intimate that secur-
tiles approximated at $50, 900 are not
accounted for, and have asked Frank
NJ. Garland, a promoter, of New York,
to explain their supposed sale.
Garland was appointed executor by
a deathbed codicil revoking the for
mer appointment of Judge John A. L.
Campbell, of New York, but resigned
before the will was probated. He
says he acted merely in an advisory
capacity In handling the securities.
Mrs. Cross was in her seventy
fourth year, and had lived in seclu-
sion She was constantly attended by
her niece, Mrs. Mary Thompson Lu-
quer, to whom she left all her jewelry
and $4,000 in cash. The residue was
divided between the sons.

Recall German General Who
Was to Teach Turkish Army

LONDON, Jan. 23.-A dispatch
from Constantinople declares that it
is certain that General Liman Won
Sanders, of the Prussian cavalry,
who was appointed some time ago to
reorganize the Ottoman army, will
return to Germany. Russia and some
other countries opposed the appoint
ment of General Won Sanders in a
vehement manner.
Much disappointment over the prac-
teal dismissal of General Won San
ders is expressed by the Berlin news
papers as his appointment was relied
upon to offset insinuations that Tur-
keys defeat in the Balkan war was
due to the faulty training of her
army by General Won der Goltz.
This indirect blow at German mill
try prestige has deeply wounded the
Kaiser, who, according to the Daily
Mails Berlin correspondent. person.
ally settled the appointment of Cen
eIal Won Sanders with Turkey.

NEW YORK, Jan. 2S.-Under the

Medical Council, advocates in the Feb
ruary issue of that publication "a
moderate exposure of the whole sur
face of the body to the sunshine. as
the old Greeks used to do as a
means of preventing great deal OF
cancer. The writer asserts that there
is no history of much cancer among

While de does not believe that sun
shine would cure advanced cancer,
DR.. Blair maintains that 1t might pre-
vent a vast deal of 1t If reasonably

to show that cancer is rare among the
