SEVEN VESSELS PASS
THROUGH BIG CANAL
Repairs at Gold Hill, Where
Slide Occurred, Have Been
Fully Completed

Panama, Oct. 22-Seven vessels
passed through the Panama Canal
last night, less than a week after the
slide at Gold Hill almost filled it
for distance of several hundred
feet
Working ceaselessly since the
slide occurred, the powerful dredging
equipment under Superintendent
james MacFarlane cleared the pas
sagewav through the obstruction ear
ly this morning The machines had
cut out channel 100 feet wide and
forty feet deep, enough for ordinary
navigation requirements.
Fifteen steamers were tied up at
terminal ports as a result of the
slide. Seven of these passed through
today without the least difficulty.
Navigation of the canal soon viii be
normal. according to Captain Rod
man. Those who saw the last slide
consider the early clearing a re-
markable example of rapid and effic-
lent work

WHITE SLAVE CASES
TO Be PR0BEO
United States Grand Jury Called
to Meet in Guthrie Nov. 9th;
Detectives in State

Following the report printed sew
eral days ago that women detectives
from the department of justice at
Washington had quietly been work
ing in Oklahoma for some time past
with a view of gathering evidence for
prosecution of persons guilty of yio-
lation of the Mann white slave act,
comes the announcement that a
United States grand jury had been
called to convene here on November
9th by Judge John II. Cotteral, prin
cipally to investigate cases now pend
ing. according to information given
out Wednesday by United States dis
trict attorney, l. d. Taylor
"The chief reason for a grand jury
now is the fact that there is a large
of government prisoners held
in Jail, unable to make bond, who will
be confined all winter unless their
cases are disposed of " said District
Attorney Taylor Ordinarily, no
grand jury is ordered at Guthrie until
spring. Because most of the cases to
lie investigated come from the north
ern part of the state it was decided
to conduct the session at Guthrie in
stead of at Lawton where federal
court now is in session"
A number of white slave cases are
included in the batch to be aired be-
fore the grand jury. Attorney Taylor
said Most of Them concern alleged
traffic in women from Kansas and
Missouri to Oklahoma.

Special to Daily Leader
Oklahoma City, Okla, Oct. o.
The expected has happened
The next Legislature will be asked
to appropriate 100000 for a don't
Tor the proposed capitol building
Oklahoma City.
A dome to cost 5000 600 certainl,
should be peacherino, and ther
some, but Oklahoma City never was
half-hearted when it came to askini
the taxpayers for luxilries. The next
Legislature, however, may not be sc
liberal as their predecessors and in|
the light of the present financial con-
ditions existing here and elsewhere
will probably be slow to donate near
ly quarter million dollars of the
taxpayers money in providing dome
for the state house M
The capitol commission and the|
architects are not in absolute accord
as to the dome matter and the legis-
lature will be asked to 7 decide
whether there shall be an additional
appropriation of 100000 or there
abouts for this hdded architecture
establishment. The plans for the
building, as now being worked onJ
absorb all the million and a half doll
lars appropriation without dome. n
there is to be dome, therefore ID
will be necessary for the legislature
to supply more funds tofhe extent of|
its cost.
The foundation of the capitol will
be the same with or without dome,
so work on that is proceeding. II is
estimated that there will be little ID
any loss OF time waiting for the legis
lature to decide the dome question
because the foundation will proceed
perhaps until the legislature shall
meet II dome IS to be placed i'll
VIII be necessary to build the walls
and pillars that will carry its weight
considerably heavier than otherwise.
When the bids are invited, which will
be before the legislature meets. it is
expected that alternative figures win
be asked contingent on the decision
as to a dome
The lines Of the building as model
ed without a dome are very attractive.
Ut is understood that many men of
prominence in the state have been
consulted and are of the opinion that
dome would not only add nothing
TO the building, but would detract
from its sightliness. However. there
are others who want the dome

IMMINENT TAKEN
IN MISTAKE FOR
MEDICINE FATAL
Fireman at State Normal
School Here Dies After TAX
ing Dose for Cough.

William Mcmahon, fireman in the
State Normal School, in Belleyille
avenue, died in the City Hospital to-
day. after drinking the contents of a
bottle of linament, which he Is said
to have taken in mistake for cough
medicine.
Mcmahon, who was filing the posi-
ton of fireman temporarily, pending
the permanent appointment of man
in accordance with the civil service
requirements, had been suffering from
rheumatism and coughs almost since
the time he got the position, eight
months ago. ell always had in his
possession, 1t is siad, bottle OF Ina
ment and a bottle of patent cough
mixture.
Today, when Thomas F. Quinn,
custodian of the building. went to the
fire-room in the school, he found Nc
Mahon sitting on a bench da2ed.
'oThe rheumatism is bothing me
againy' NcMahon said, "and I've got
a bad cough"
A little later Quinn returned to the
fireroom, to find Mcmahon stretched
out on the floor. Beside him lay a
linament bottle partly empty. Quinn
hurried to ST. Michaers rectory,
which is near the Normal School,
and called ReV. Wfilam MedHSf as
sistant rector. Father Meany went
to the school and administered the
last rites of the church to Mcmahon.
In the meantime Quinn shad tele-
phoned to the Second precinct police
station, ad an ambulance took Nc
Mahon to the City Hospital.
Mcmahon was unconscious when he
arrived at the hospital He died
twenty minutes later. County Phy-
sieian Mckenzie was informed of the
death, and will view the body.
Neither Quinn nor the hospital au-
thorities believe McMahon took the
linament with suicidal intent.
McMahon was a fireman on the
Central Railroad of New Jersey for
twenty-eight years before getting the
position at the Normal School. His
home is in Dover, and he boarded in
Academy street, this city.

WILSON SAYS
FAREWELL To
PEACE ENJOYS
Wishes A. B. c. Mediators Sue
cess on Their Departure for
Niagara Falls.

WASHINGTON, May 15.-The thres
South American ENJOYS. upon whom
rests the hope of a peaceful solution
OF the Mexican imbroglio, today paid
a formal visit of farewell to Presi-
dent Wilson before their departure
for Niagara Falls to begin their peace
negotiations.
All the ceremonial of formal diplo-
matte intercourse marked the call of
the three ENJOYS. Ambassador da
Cana, of Brazil. Minister Naon, of
Argentina, and Minister Suarez, OF
Chile, attired in the conventional
frock coat and silk hat of formal
dress, and accompanied by Secretary
of State Bryan, ewent to the White
House in an automobile.
In the blue room the President,
with his military and naval aides,
attired in full dress uniform, greeted
the ENJOYS. He wished them success
on their mission of peace, and ex-
pressed the hope that when they re-
turn to Washington they will have
found the solution of the Mexican
problem which has confronted the
United States government for three
years.
Very Formal Occasion.
Although 1t is customary for am
bassadors and ministers on leaving
the United States for long absences
to say goodby to the President, there
was more than the usual farewell
in the little scene in the blue room
today. The three ENJOYS accredited
to the United States purposely are
leaving American territory to dis
robe themselves of their official con-
nection to the America ngoyernment,
so that they may act in impartial
and intermediary capacity on neu-
trail soil.
Upon the three mediators devolves
the real burden of the conference at
Niagara Falls. They are to make all
suggestions and initiate all moves.
From them must come the plan which
all parties will take under considera-
ton. The American representatives
have no plenary powers. but are en-
tirely unofficial in their character.
They are to be only a medium of
communication between the United
States government and the mediators.

Especial to the Evening star.l

WASHINGTON, May 15.-Genuine
alarm now pervades administration
circles over the fate of John r. Silli-
man, American vice-consul at Satillo.
Despite promises made by Huerta
to this government through the Bra
ziiian government no news has been
received that the missing consul has
been returned 10 Mexico City. There
is now feeling that he may have
been killed In fight.
Because of the uncertainty regard
ing Sflliman's fate and the mystery
yet surrounding the disappearance Of
Orderly Samuel Parks, Photographer
A. ]. Sutton, of Washington, and
of supplies to Galveston is consid-
cred significant.
It may be necessary to serve an
other ultimatum on Huerta demand
ing that the fate of the quartet be
cleared up within few hours. It
would be useless to do so unless the
army was prepared to vigorously
back it up. That is the only expla-
nation obtainable here of the con-
centration of the reserve supplies OF
field equipment, arms, ammunition
and rations for men and horses OF
the division of the east at Calves
ton. This equipment has been stored
at the army's quartermaster's store
house at West and Water streets
New York, and on Governors Island.
Now IT is all being rushed South, al
though there is certain to be serious
expense and loss in shipment, and
there are no properly equipped build
ings in Galveston for storage.
Garrison Denies Troop Movements.
Secretary Garrison when questioned
said there are no troops movements.
Coast artillery companies, organized
as infantry, are ready to board trains
for the south. The remainder OF the
Texas city division could start for
Vera Cruz in three hours. If II turns
out that Huerta has permitted silll-
man to be murdered or countenaneed

pecting service.
Meanwhile the Huerta delegates to
the Niagara Falls peace conference
are steaming northward. At the ur-
gent solicitations of mediators they

Most of the victims were skilled me
chanics. One body was blown through
the building. Three other bodies were
burned beyond recognition. Three
men were removed to a hospital and
