The Sanitary District of Chicago
will benefit by the journey Of several
of its officials to take notes on the
construction of the great inter-oceanic
canal.
Trustees Kane and Daley of the
Sanitary District. accompanied by
Assistant Chief Engineer Edward J.
Kelly and Resident Engineer Philip
Harrington. returned Monday from
trip to Panama. They went to inves.
tigate the cause of land slides and the
methods used by the government to
prevent them. II Is understood the
two trustees paid their own expense,
but that the expense of the engineers
will be borne by the district treasury.
"Terracing the sides seems to be
about the best way to avoid slides"
Mr.. Kelly said. THAT is the method
used In Panama. and Is considered the
only possible remedy"
Regarding native justice In Panama
City, MIR. Kelly said:
"A man was arrested for murder.
After few hours in Jail he was per.
mitted to go downtown to do some
shopping. It was impossible for the
prisoner to escape, as the city Is on an
island. While the so.called prisoner
was downtown he was shot and
killed"

Council Committee on Terminals.
Except for the question as to who

seemed to agree. ut least on all Of the

Walter l.. Fisher, attorney, and Bion
j. Arnold, engineer for the Citizens
Terminal Plan committee, were not
satisfied with the proposed ordinance
as they now stand. They told the sub
committee that several important mat

that these be taken up by the entire
committee.
Before finally passing on the pro
posed ordinances the subcommittee
on motion Of Alderman Fisher, adopt
ed q resolution calling on the entire
committee to recommend to the COun
Gil an ordinance requiring all railroads
within the city limits to conform to q

The passage OF such measure prac
