VILLA NOT RESPONSIBLE
 FOR SAFETY OF FOREIGNERS
Because of the Recognition of Car
 ranza Government

Fl Paso. Texag. Oct. 1o.-General Villas formal declaration to George c. Carothers, special agent of the state department at Washington that be- cause of the recognition of the Car ranza goveEament he would not hold himself responsible for the safety of the lives and property of foreigners today created little apprehension of immediate danger to foreigners
 American Consul Thomas D. Ed wards of Juarez, declared that there were few foreigners now in Villa ter rttory. the largest body being the Nor mon colony of Casas Grandes. About 100 employees of the mining companies at Parral had refused to obey the state departments advice to leave, but he did not believe they were in any dan ger, Edwards said.
 Half a dozen foreigners who arrived from Chihuahua City declare they came only on business and expected to return.
 Fear of an uprising at Juarez after the departure of General Villa for Casas Grandes has subsided. There was the usual large crowd at the bull fight and tonight the town had the usual quota of foreign visitors

CANAL WILL BE CLOSED
 TILL FIRST oF YEAR
fo'ooo.ooo Cubic Yards of Earth Musi
 Be Taken Out.

Panama. Oct. 10.-A careful Survey of the slide in the Gaiilard cut re- veals that there probably are 10000, ! 900 cubic yards of earth in motion which must be taken out by dredging operations before a permanent chan mel through the cut Is possible.
 This Is the conclusion reached by the canal engineers who concede that there is now little hope of oPenfng the waterway, even for the temporary use of shipping, much before the first of the year.
 The present rate of wet excavation Is n asmiIlion yards per month and at this rate it would require not less than ten months 10 remove the mass which Is now sliding Into the canal consid- erably faster than the dredges can take 1t out It ig said that often the canal bottom bulBes up to a height of IS feet above the surface of the wa- ter, due to the tremendous weight of the hfilaidea r
 The area of motion is roughly cal culated to be in the nefghborhood of ITS acres. which constitute the great est slide area in the history of the canal.

PRESIDENT AND MRS. GALT
 MOTOR TO BALTIMORE.
Visit the Presidents Brother, Joseph
 R. Wilson.

Washington, Oct. To- = President Wilson and Mrs. Norman Galt, his iancee motored to Baltimore today to visit the presidents brother, Joseph R. Wilson. who had not met the next mistress of the White House. While there they attended church and were the guests of honor at a family lunch con party.
 Several hundred people in Baltimore learned of the presence of the couple and crowded about the church and the apartment house in which Joseph Will son lives to catch a glimpse of the president and his bride to- be. Because it was Sunday, the applause of Fri day and Saturday in New York. and Philadelphia was missing. but the peo- pie voiced their approval of the presi- dents choice in audible comments.
 Mrs. Gait wore beautiful blue taf- feta gown. a black velvet hat trimmed with fur. champagne colored gloves. and short face veil. and smiled hap pily at the crowd. The president too, smiled continually. On the third finger of her left hand Mrs Galt wore the diamond engagement ring given her by the president in New York It had been reported that the platinum ring was set with only solitaire diamond. but today it was noticed that it also had several smaller diamonds fm the narrow gold band.
 Efforts of a man giving his mama as Joseph Pruijk and his address as Brussels. Belgium. to follow the presi- dents party and later to enter the church caused a ripple Of excitement The man said he was collecting money for the suffering Belgians and that he was visiting in Baltimore. The police became suspicious. however, and pre- vented him from entering the church. He protested that he meant no harm and. merely wanted to see the distin- guished visitors.
 The president and Mrs. Galt decided last night after their return from Phil- adelphia to make the trip today.
 They were accompanied on the drive by the Misses Lucy and Mary Smith of New Orleans. cousins of the president, who are White House guests.
