TO GUARD CANAL
Government Will Mine Pacific
Approach to Panama Ditch.
Japanese Activities Thought to
Have Prompted Decision.

New York, Oct. 24.-The United
States has determined to further pro-
tect the Panama canal by planting a
mine field in the Pacific ocean off
Panama City. 1t was learned that the
U. S. S. General Schof1eld, on orders
from the navy department at Wash
ington. will leave Fort Totten today
for the purpose of planting mines to
protect the Pacific approach to the
canal.
The Schofield will carry a number
of a new type of mine designed to
overcome the twenty foot sweep OF tide
on the Pacific outlet of the canal This
mine is of German invention and per-
mits the deathdealing steel sphere to
rise and fall with the tide. This is
accomplished by means of an ingen-
ious trolley pulley device. ~
Recent aggressive action by Japan
against Germany in the South Sea
Islands has placed Japanese directly
in the path of communication between
the United States and the Philippines.
Japan now holds Jalut island, the seat
of government in the Marshall archi-
pelagO.
Whether the closer approach OF the
Japanese to the Philippines possessions
of the United States has anything to do
with the Schofield's mission could not
be learned today.

Governor to Investigate Board
of Control Squabble.
If Bowman Proves His Course,
Action Will Follow.
WHY DID He CONCEAL Them?
Hodges Wonders Why Bowman
Held Up knowledge a Year.
Governor Detects an OdOr of
~Tricky Politics."

Governor Hodges will investigate
the charges of H. c. Bowman against
w. E. Brooks ana Stance Myers,
board of control members. If Bow
man can establish his charges in a
fair, open investigation, as he has told
newspaper reporters he will be able to
do. the governor declares that action
will be taken. The fact, though, that
Bowman has had in his possession for
more than a year information which
he claims VIC uld warrant the removal
of the two men and has failed to
make it public until ten days before
the election. does not on it's face seri-
ously impress the governor with the
charges.
Over the long distance telephone
last night, Governor Hodges told the
State Journal that he would investi-
gate thoroughly every charge made
by the minority member of the board
of control. If Bowman has in his
possession information Of illegal acts
by any official, action should be taken
to remove that official, says the gov
ernor. But a thoroughly conscien-
tious and highly moral citizen with a
public trust, does not always cover up
information which he possesses to
use it for campaign purposes on the
eve of an election"

KAISER ON FIELD
German Emperor Nearly Cap
tured Near Warsaw.
The Russian Cavalry Breaks
Through Teuton Lines.

\. Petrograd, Oct. 24.-Many, Of the
soldiers who were wounded in the
fighting around Warsaw and are now
here, declare that the kaiser was actual
ly on the battle line and that he mar
rowly escaped capture. Their stories,
while circumstanti;Al, are not confirm
ed by the war office which permits
their publication, and adds that it has
received no report regarding it from
the commander in chief at the front.
The. fact that a German general
whose name is withheld, but who is
one of the 1avOrite members of the
kalser's staff, actually was captured,
inclined officials here to believe that
the kaiser really las at the 'front.'
The story here is that the kaiser
and his staff had pushed forward
when the Germans were approaching
Warsaw in order personally to OBJ
serve the operations of his heavy ar
tillery of which he is Unfortunately
proud. A Russian aviator reported
the presence of officers of apparent
high rank much nearer the front than
the ordinary tactics =. caution and
strategy called for.
At that time the Russians were fall
ing back to the point previously Sc
lected for giving battle.
A division of cavalry was ordered
to charge the point where the officers
had been observed. They broke through
the Germans outer line but the second
ring of German troops, led by the
officers in front, desperately met the
charging horsemen with the bayonet
anG their rapid firers.
|. The Russian charge was monentarily
checked and all of the officers, with one
exception, jumped into their automo-
biles and escaped. Wounded Russian
soldiers who participated in the charge
declare that they could not mistake
the form of the kaiser as the difference
in his height with that of his staff was

E'ilibustcr Which Has Held Congress
Has Collapsed.

Washington, Oct. 24.-The filibuster,
which has been holding congress in
session, collapsed today and leaders OF
both sides agreed to adjourn at
o'clock this afternoon.
At the conference, which agreed on
the adjournment, southern members,
fighting for legislation to relieve cot
ton growers, pledged themselves not
to block the plan with points of no
quorum or other technicalities. The
plan was accomplished by senate Ieao-
erS.
Senator Smith of Georgia, who has
been the head and front of the fill
buster in the -enate, said he would NOT
block the adjournment, If the major
ity Of the southern senators were de-
cided to abandon the filibuster. That
appeared to be the situation. Inn
mediately after it reassembled at
O'Clock, the house passed the resolu-
ton to adjourn at p. IN. by vote
of Sc to 27.
The senate then also passed the
ment and both houses marked time
for the clock to record that hour.
Thus ended a three-day fight. during
which eleventh hour disappointments
were the principal feature.
