BIG RESEARCH PLAN
PLANNED BY DANIELS
Asks New Naval Advisory Board for
Ideas About Laboratory to Work
Out Inventions.

WASHINGTON. Sept. 20 - Secretary
Daniels has requested members of the new
naval advisory board, headed by Thomas
\. Edison, to formulate ideas for an
and research laboratory to he
maintained by the navy departments for
the development of inventions. The secre-
tary. in a letter to the members OF the ad-
visory board, asks them to be ready with
their ideas when it holds its first meeting
next month.
In addition to securing the advice OF
the most famous inventors of the country
and in organizing in a practical and etti-
cient way to get such advice said Mr..
Daniels in a statement last night, Il in
tend greatly to develop the resources Of
the navy department itself, and to in
crease largely its facilities for experimental
work in the line Of developing unprotected
inventions.
""The department possesses, in the chiefs
of the three bureaus of construction,
steam engineering, and ordnance. and in
the officers assigned to those bureaus, men
splendidly qualified to carry to perfection
any novel ideas and to originate many i'm
provements of their own. As a matter OF
| fact, the work along those lines that is
| now being done under the greatest possible
| handicaps by the navy 5 own officers wouC
/ surprise the public, were it expedient tC
/ reveal improvements of more or less con
tidential nature. Tie navy has, however
been seriously handicapped by the lack Q
an adequate central establishment wher,
the ideas of it's own officers, as well al
| those suggested by civilians could be takel
up and patiently developed in the sam,
way that such ideas are handled in grea
manufacturing establishments

PANAMA CANAL BLOCKED.
Big Slide Took Place and Upheaval
Formed an Island.

PANAMA, Sept. 20.-The slide on
the east bank of the Gaillard cut, just
north of Gold hill and directly oppo-
site the village of Culebra, suddenly
became active yesterday The channel
is again completely closed to naviga-
tion. The dredging division regards
the slide as the worst since the open
ing of the canal. The mass moved
more quickly than usual
With the slide occurred an upheavai
of the bottom of the canal such as to
form anisland above the surface OF the
water in whot was normally the mid
die of the channel. 1t will probably
be a week before a cut wide enough
and deep enough can be made to al
low ship to pass.

An attempt was made to show
that Roosevelt had accepted
large contributions from big bust

the attorney general to prosecute
them.

However, 1t came out that In
several cases, Roosevelt had or
dered prosecutions of these very
firms.
He denied with vigor that ne
had let these contributions influ-
ence the course of his administra-
ton.
While he was governor of New
York, too, Sen. Plat wrote him
that he hoped he (Roosevelt)
could find way to exempt rail-
ways from the franchise tax, az

Gov. Roosevelt replied that II
was too late for him to do any

disposed to take the advice of his
state commission unless 1t could
be proved definitely that the COM
mission was wrong and the rail-
ways right.

SYRACUSE. N. Y, April u.s.
Once again, Col. Roosevelt had a
bully time on the stand.
He put in another morning of
speech-making which he seemed
to enjoy immensely.
Once when Attorney WINS. for
Barnes, began the reading of a
speech In which Roosevelt said
Barnes was menace, the colonel
took the paper from WINS hands
and read 1t to the jury himself
with oratorical effect.
He relished especially the SEN
tence where he called Barnes a
menace" and another where he
declared that Barnes and Muir
ply ought to be iR the same
party.
At 1880, the colonel was
finally released from cross-exam-
ination.

All yesterday afternoon in the

taken up with a tiresome discus

Plat, William Barnes and Col.
Roosevelt worked together in the

al patronage from 1904 to 1910.
Roosevelt repeatedly said that
he had consulted with these two
men on practically all matters of

Poindexter said today:
For the greater part, the re-
publican party is progressive, al
though some of its leaders decid-
edly are not. But IL the pro-

camp, and into the repu blican
camp, the result will be the con-
tinued triumph of the reaction
