MAY ARREST BANDITS WHO
ROBBED B. & 0. TRAIN
Maybe Tonight, If Not Earlier, Start
ling Developments viii Come
to Light.

Rumor had it that arrests will be
made today in connection with the
holding up and robbing of train No. 1
at Central Friday morning. The fifty
or more deputies engaged in the
search, for the first time last night
refused to discuss the robbery or give
out any kind Of information. What
the officers and deputies are up to,
canont be determined but the informa-
ton has leaked out from semi-otficial
circles, that the coils have been tigh-
tened around persons suspected Of
the robbery, and that by tonight, if
not earlier, startling developments
will come to light.
Yesterday, there was nothing UNI
usual in the movements Of the officers
further than has been occurring every
day since the hold up. James Camp
bell, captain of B. & o. police Of Gin
cinnati, who was called here follow
ing the hold up, was in Clarksburg
last night. He declined to tell any
thing about the plans of the deputies
and officers, or what might be ex-
pected to result today. Nothing new"
was all any of the officers would say.
United States Marshal G. Il. Smith,
went to his home at Fairmont yester-
day and remained there over night.
He refused to discuss the holdup, fur
Their than to say Their was nothing of
Importance to be given out.
AT Central and Toll Gate, and in
the vicinity of the place where the
holdup occurred, one hears all kinds
of stories and wild rumors. EVERY
time a farmer has horse to stray
awy-the bandits have stolen them"
said a citizen from Richie county,
who was in the city yesterday. Eyes,
the bandits are getting blamed for
everything-for every petty theft and
all It's proving mighty good time
for thievs who haven't the nerve to
rob train, nd~they are taking adj
vantage Of it,"

CANAL CLOSED UNTIL
FIRST OF NEW YEAR

PANAMA, Oct. 10.-A careful sur
vey in the slide area in the Galliard
cut reveals the fact that there prob
ably are 100000 cubic yards of
earth in motion, which must be taken
out by dredging operations before a
permanent channel through the cut is
possible. This is the conclusion
reached by canal engineers, who con-
cede that there is now little hope of
opening tn waterway even for the
tmporary use of shipping much be-
fore the first of the year.
The present rate of the excavation
is million yards month and at this
rate it would require not less than
ten months to remove the mass which
is now sliding into the canal consid-
erably faster than the dredges can
take it out. 1t is said that often the
canal bottom bulges up to height
of fifteen feet above the surface of
the water, due to the tremendous
. weight of the hillsideS.
The area ofm otion is roughly es-
timated to be in the neighborhood of
It's arcres, which constitute the
greatest slide area in the history of
the canal It extends 1900 feet along
both banks Of the waterway, with
probably an average of $500 feet
back of the center line of the canal
prism.
Major General George w. Goethals,
governor of the canal zone, has not
yet made an official announcement
concerning the probability of opening
a temporary channel, but it is be-
lieved shipping interests have been
given to understand the nature of the
situation and it is probable that the
most of the 100 ships now here await
ing passage through the canal will
be ordered to their destinations by
other routes.
