COST WILL BE $375,000,000 Chief Engineer Qoethala Shows Pres ident Taft Some of the Won ders of the Canal. Panama.—The Panama canal will be completed on December 1, 1913. This iniormation wa«i given to Pres ident Tart while he was inspecting the famous Uatun dam, on which be spent several hours. The official date of the opening re mains January 1, 1915, Lieutenant Colonel Goethals desiring one year m which to train the canal tenders and to get the machinery working smooiu ty Ship* meantinie will Tie gTanted the privilege of the canal at tueir own risk of possible delay incident to inexperienced operation. In atiidtion, it was announced by Colouel Qoethala that the report that Piesident'Tatt s visit was tiie fore rvnuer of a request for another SIOO,- 000,000 from congress was uniounded. _ The canal \yill be completed in 1913, he said, within the $J76,000,000 al ready authorized. Tne President was tremendously pleased at the outlook for the early completion of the great, work and con gratulated Colonel Uoethals. lie ex pressed amazement at the amount of work accomplished since hU visit to the Isthmus in February, 1909. The President was greatly surpris ed at the immensity of the Gatuu dam, some idea of which can be gained from the fact that the train Was under way nearly three flours on the spur tracks overrunning the great fill. The President exclaimed: "This is a mountain; not a dam!" The visit of President Taft has ut terly dispelled any fears from reports respecting the stability of tho dam baße, which Is a half mile wide and so gradually sloped that it would nev er be recognized as a dam. Colonel Coetbals explained to the President that the informal opening of the caual in i 913 required immediate action on the part of congress rela /Ive to toil rates, because elgnteen months will be required by shipping interests to adjust their rateß to the ne wrouting. The canal is beginning to take the form of a waterway, and this acceler ate* the Interest -of the employees, thus hastening completion. President T»ft effectually disposed c! the report that the United States was likely to annex Panama. At a dinner given in 1118 honor by Presi dent Arosemena, and attended by 200 prominent ufilcials and diplomats and merchants, President Taft aroused the greatest enthusiasm when he declared that the American people would feel utterly dishonored in annexing, Pana ma unless some conduct on the part of the Panamau people left no other course. This contingency, Mr. Taft wa* sure, would never arise. TRADE WAR FEARED. Result of the Controversy With Ger many In Regard to Potash, Washington.—While the settlement of the potash controversy with Germa ny is awaiting the return of President Taft, the statisticians are busy flgui u.g now much American trade would bo damaged if the 25 per cent, maxi mum were to be applied in retaliation to German'* action. The latest rec ord of the trade of tue United States wttfo Jjlei'inany gives for one year $143,- 000.000 in Imports and $235,000,000 in exports. Students of commerce fear that should the President decide to apply the maximum to German imports, the German government probably would at once impose its maximum and a trade of about $250,000,000 would be seriously damaged. There are two principal products of American export to Germany, how ever, which would not be affected, for tliey are both on the German free list. The first is cotton, which amounts to $112,000,000 a year, and the second jmportaut item is copper, which ag gregates about $18,000,000 a year. Made Own Arrangement*.

The dispatch further said that the corporations attributed this ultimatum directly to tho successful prosecution o f the combination by the Department of Justice and the Imposition of the Vnitt d States court of fines upon the corporations and upon its officers and directors individually. The department "issued a statement outlining Its view of the matter, and Incidentally Intimating that the report ed ultimatum of tho corporations, if substantiated by the fact, "would In dicate a very mistaken leniency on the part of the court which it is hoped would not be followed on any other similar occasion '• Avuui I-en to Death.

Southern cities, in regard to pop ulation, now occupy the relative posi tion shown in the foregoing table. It has been predicted that the pop ulation of Atlanta would exceed the population of Memphis, but the fact that Birmingham slipped Into third place and Memphis dropped to fourth is a surprise. The census figures caused a great disappointment in Memphis. A few weeks ago a committee from the Mem phis business club went to Washing ton and asked that the census of Mem phis be taken over again. Three wardß were investigated, and It was found that the first enumeration wan correct. The recount was denied. One reason for Memphis' failure to continue the great gorwth shown In 1900 Is said to be the fact that there is no more outlying territory left for It to include within Its limits.

Mexico City.—One hundred persona, Including the chief of police, were killed and numbers Injured in riots at Put bla, according to the statement of passengers arriving here from thai city. Tbe stories told by passenlers are to tho effect that the trouble began when a number of polieomen, headed by tho chief, attempted to break up a meeting of anti-ro-electionlsts which was being held in a large halt. As Chief of Police Mlgutl Cabrera and his men advanced toward the building, a door was opened by a woman, who shot and killed the chief. A fight then ensued between the police and the occupants. So far as known there were no* Americans killed. fcl Paso, Texas. —Attacks on Amer icans in Mexico and rumors of a Mex lean invasion of Texas to avenge the lynching gf Rodriguez, were but masks" for a revolutionary plot honeycomb ing several of the states ol Mexico, which was planned to culminate in n general uprising against the Diaz gov ernment. The developments of the past few days indicate that the anti-American demonstration was a mask to cloak the real situation, although danger ha.» existed and still exists Cincugo atriK« Kiots. Chicago. Renewed rioting, in which one policeman was shot, took the place of the comparative peace which has marked the garment work ers strike. More than a score of the strikers, most of them women ana girts, were ariested and a number ot policemen -were injured. - Thomas Floyers, a private detective, was shot while aiding the police disperse a crowd of strikers. The strikers were ■aid to be on their way to break into a plant where non-imjon nelp is em ployed. Augusta Wants Recount. Augusta, Ga. Every statistical Item compiled Indicates that Augusta should have a population of at least 50,000, Instead of less than 38,000, as sent out by the census bureau.

J. Ogden Arintfjr, head pf Armour & Co., said tbe whole tendency ID live stock prices was lower. He also declared the descent would be grad ual, and warned the public from ac cepting too hastily tbe belief that a drop from the hghest to the lowest prices was due. There was also a sharp decline In ce reals and fruits. It remains a problem whether the reduction in prices will reach as far a, j the consumer. SUFFRAGETTES FIGHT POLICE English Women Try to Reach Parlia ment Leadera. London, England.—The militant suffragettes reopened hostilities again igainst the government and uiarcuing, 16,000 strong, on the parliament build ing, gave the police a lively fight.

Robin cooper Acquitted. Nashville. Tenn.—Robin J. Cooper, charged with the murder of Senator i.dward Carmack, was given a verdict of not guilty in the criminal court on ii. commendation of Attorney General Anderson. Thus was brought to a close the final chapter in one of the most celebrated cases known to the courts of Tennessee.

"Senator Dash of Tallapoosa prided himself on his rise from the bottom, for Senator Dash in his youth had worked with the colored people la the cotton fields. "Boasting at a political meeting about his rise, the senator singled out Uncle Calhoun Webster among his 1 audience and said: " 'I see before me old Calhoun Web ster, beside whom, In the broiling southern sun, 1 tolled day after day. Now, ladles and gentlemen, I appeal to Uncle Calhoun. Tell us all, uncle, was I, or was I not, a good man la the cotton field?'

The wit of Bishop Seth Ward amuses Nashville frequently. Bishop Ward, In company with two senators, came forth from a Nashville reception the other day and entered a motor car. "Ah, bishop," said one of his com panions. "ypu are not like your mas ter. He was content to ride an ass." "Yes, and so should I be," Bishop Ward answered, "but there's no such animal to be got nowadays. They make them all senators." ANOTHER BUMP FOR GENIUS.
