CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHTS VIO-

THEIR TESTIMONY.

There is a probability that d. G.
Smith and George Stangier, local ci-
gar store proprietors indicted recent
" on charges of conducting gambling
games and perjury, may escape pros
ecution on the grounds that their con-
sttiutional rights were violated in re-
curing them to testify before the
grand jury. The demurrer to the in
dictments against Smith are being ar

much as the indictments against
Stangier were returned in identically
the same way, the decision of the
court will affect both.
Judge Lowell is contending that un-

he could not be required to give tes-
timony in a case in which his tesu-
mony might incriminate himself. He

PANAMA TO BENEFIT SUEZ.
Chief Executive Tells Shareholder:
They VIII Profit by New Canal,

They VIII Profit by New Canal.
PARIS, April I'm. Jounart, the
chief executive of the Suez canal, in
forms the shareholders that they will
be benefited rather than harmed by
the opening of the Panama canal. He
predicts that the opening up of re-
gions in East Asia by the American
canal will create a traffic, some Of
which naturally will find its way
through Suez.
"Be that as it may" he adds, "Suez
will still remain the shortest route
from Europe and the Far East"
Extensive and costly improvements
are being made to the SueZ canal to
enable it to compete with Panama.
The original depth in 1865, was 26
English feet. The present depth is
80 feet. The new depth will be 80
| feet.
The SueZ canal has no locks and nc
tides. The waterway remains almost
! constantly at a uniform depth. The
Mediterranean sea is almost tideless
! No vessel drawing more than % feet
! is at present allowed to go through
| Suez. The canal is 46 feet wide al
! the narrowest part of its course
! through the 100 miles of sandy desert
that marks the distance between the
| Red sea and the Mediterranean. About
$3,000000 is being spent to minimize
the effect of sand storms by extending
the breakwater at Port Said by some
! 2700 yards.

The Daily Cost of War Revised,

In these columns a few days ago was
given rough estimate of the daily
cost of the European war to the gov
ernments involved. based upon a state
ment from Berlin to the effect that the
daily German cost was $5.0e8.o 600. With
this figure as a starting point it was
Calculated that the French cost was
probably about $4.0oo.e0 and the Eng
lish cost $1.000.00o. the total Of all the
warning powers in Europe being about
ns.ee0.oee. which was recognised as
conservative and probably below the
actual figure.
Since this calculation was made it
has been stated on apparently good
authority that the daily cost to France
IL about $7.oe0,000, and subsequently
II was unofiicially stated In London
that the cost to the British gov
eminent was about SIS a second, or
roughly $4.75e.eao a day. Accepting

estimate for all Of the European bel
Hgerents- Should the scale now estab-
lfahed by these French and English
16ures be applicable to the other war
ring governments, 1t is likely that the
total cost rises to above $25, ,000, 900 daily

note that an omcial estimate nadA
during the latter part of the civil war

that the war between the states cost
the federal government an average Of
$1.50o.e00 a day. Doubtless II that
struggle had occurred under modern
conditions the cost to the federal gov
eminent would have been at least five

much praise. His friends at home will

This is strikingly unusual. Senators
