plains The urgency OF Lieutenant Colo
mol Harding's message to the Secretary
OF War on Monday recommending that
President Wilson issue an executive
order officially closing tho canal until
November I.
Colonel Harding said that conditions
caused by the new slide were the worst
In the history OF the waterway. The
dredgers removed 100000 cubic yards
OF earth in September, they are being
worked day and night. and vet there
Isl as much more 30 be removed before
traffic viii be free again. Colonel Hard
ing is in favor of refunding tolls TO
those ships which have paid them and
are waiting TO pass through the canal.
10 has been estimated that IL would
take month TO transfer the cargoes
Of ninety ships by means OF the
Panama Railroad. II is possible that
many Of the vessels will be ordered 20
revert 20 the old route around Cape
Horn to eliminate which the canal was
constructed.
Slides along the east bank OF Gold
Hill have kept the canal closed since
September 20. Despite the efforts OF
the dredges, new movements of the
earth have steadily oounteracted the
accomplishments Of the huge iron
buckets. This blocking marks the first
prolonged and serious interruption OF
traffic since the canal was opened for
business year ago. Although Colonel
Harding has estimated that the channe!
may be cleared in a month, allowance
must be made for additional slides that
are liable 90 occur any day.
General Goethals was major in
1907, when President Roosevelt select
ed him as the army officer best quail
fed 20 assume the post Of chief Of en-
cinecrs in charge Of the canal. For
seven years he directed a force Of 40.
eco men digging at the big ditch, which
is called the greatest engineering feat
Of all ages. His success in completing
the canal on time was due as much to
his ability 20 handle men as to his en-
CinecrinC ability. His insistence on
being the one and only boss Of the con
struction caused him 70 be dubbed a
dictator.
Mayor Mitchell Wanted Him.
10 was the bigness OF the man that
made him In demand TO head New York
City's Police Department when Mayor
John Purroy Mitchell was making m
his Cabinet in 1914. Mayor Mitchell
was ready 70 promise radical reforms
IN concentrating the police authority
OF New York IN one man II there WAS
any chance o. having Goethals As that
man.
