HAS NEW IDEA IN SURGERY
New Yorker Confident of Ability to
'Graft Limbs of Dead on
Bodies of Living.
Dr. A. L. Sorest, a New York sur
geon, who astounded the world at the
recent medical congress In London
by stating that he would soon be able
to graft the limbs of the dead upon
the bodies of the living, will resume
his experiments at his New York
laboratories.
"So far I have only taken the limbs
of dogs and grafted them on other
dogs," said he. "The work is so new
that I have to make the instruments
to use, and that takes time and pa
tience. "The dogs on which I have experi
mented are today Just as sound as
though they had been born with the
limbs grafted on them.. When work
ing upon the dogs I take one that has
Just died and immediately graft his
limb to that of a living animal. But
with human subjects that question of
time Is the most serious." .

"Very. She was even shy ten years

III HEW TARIFF LAW
PROVISION FOR REDUCTION ; ON
GOODS IN AMERICAN 8HIP8
SHIPS NOT CLEAR. ,
CONSTRUCTION IS WANTED
.
The Treasury Officials Say Revision
Is Lowlest in History With the Ex.
caption of Walker Act In 1846 Re
ferred to President Wilson,
Washington. Officials of the Treas
ury department are at sea to know
what Congress actually meant by the
provision of the new tariff law allow
ing a five per cent reduction of duties
on goods imported In Amearlcan ships
with the condition that the differential
should not be construed to abrogate or
Impair any existing treaty between the
United States and a foreign Nation.
Literally Interpreted, it Is declared the
provision would give a five per cent
decrease to goods la American bot
toms and automatically grant the same
privilege to the hlps of the many Na
tions whose treaties with the United
States guarantee no discrimination be
tween their vessels and those of
America.
Ths construction which would be a
reasonable redurtion of five per
cent in the tariff for importation from
most of the great countries of the
world, involves probably ten millions
in revenue for the government, creat
ing a deficit instead of a surplus In
the Treasury as has been estimated
by the tariff framers. The question
undoubtedly will be referred to Presi
dent Wilson and Attorney General
Mo Reynolds and ultimately will reach
the United States Supreme Court.
The State and Treasury Departments
already are in consultation over the
effect of the provision, the first snag
struck in the new law.
Whatever the interpretation of the
provision for Nations with these guar
antees of equality, It is pointed out
other serious questions arise as to 23
Nations whose treaties with this coun
try do not guarantee, against discrim
ination. A Test of the Clause.
Washington. The "Federal Govern
ment's effort to prove that "the grand
father clause" of the Oklahoma Con
stitution violates the Constitution of
the United States was begun In the
Supreme Court with the fling of a
brief by Solicitor General Davis. The
Circuit Court of Appeals has certified
to the Supreme Court the question of
the validity of the amendment to the
Oklahoma Constitution. The Solicitor
contends that the entire provision Is
unconstitutional because it violates the
fifteenth amendment to the Federal
Constitution guaranteeing suffrage
without discrimination as to race col
or or prevous condition of servitude.

WORK Ofl PANAMA
CAW ENO
Waters of Gatun Lake Turned
Into the Culebra Cut.
BIG DIKE IS TO BE REMOVED
This Will Mark the Practical Compli
tion of the Big Waterway After
Nine Years of Labor by an
Army of Men.
Colon, Panama, Oct. 1. The Pan
ama canal stands today virtually com
plete.. The preliminary steps toward the
destruction of the Gamboa dike, which
until the present time, has held the
waters of Gatun lake out of the Cu
lebra cut, were taken today when the
valves in four great 26-inch pipes
which pierce the dike were opened
and the waters of the lake began
flowing into the Culebra cut Within
a few days, it Is expected, enough wa
ter will have flowed into the cut to
form a cushion and prevent the dam
age that might be done if the dike
v.-ere were blown up and the waters al
low ed to rush Into the empty cut. .
The final destruction of the big dike
Is scheduled for October 10. when
charges of dynamite placed In holes
already drilled in the dike will be ex
ploded. The . explosion of these
r.harees will not completely destroy
the dike, but will weaken It and loos
en the dirt so that -the force of the
waters from Gatuan'lake will carry It
awav. Steam shovels will remove the
remnants of the dike, leaving an open
passageway from ocean to ocean.
Canal Really Complete Now.
Although the canal will not be offi
cially declared completed for " some
time, and the formal opening of the
waterway to the commerce of the
world more than a year distant, the
canal engineers look upon the de
struction of the Gamboa dike as mark
ing the real completion of the canal.
The big engineering feats have an
been accomplished, the excavation
work practically has been completed,
and the great locks have been con
structed. The work that remains to
be done is larsely detail, and Is but
child's play as compared with that
which has been done. More dirt is
to be removed from the channel.' but
this will be done with suction dredges
floating upon the waters of the canal.
There still . remain some finishing
touches to be nlaced uoon the locks,
but this work will take comparatively
little time and presents no engineer
ing difficulties such as have been en
countered In the past.
1 The fact that the canal stands prac
tically complete more than a year be
fore the time originally set as the
date for its completion is one of the
remarkable features of the ; work.
When Count de Lesseps, the 1 great
Frnnrh nnslneer . abandoned his. ef
forts to build the Panama canal after
eight years of labor, he had scarcely
made a bealnnlna unon the . aleantlc
task. In nine years, the American en
gineers, starting almost at the same
point as de .Lesseps, for the ' latter's
work was of little value to the Amer
icans, have virtually completed the
undertaking. When " the work was
started the world scoffed at the Idea
that It would be completed within the
Urns limit set, but hats are. now off
to the American army engineers who
have mors than kept their word, de
spite unforeseen difficulties that have
beset them at every hand.

The final voyage through the canal is 1
scheduled for some time during this
month. Within another month It Is
expected the wsters In Gatun lake
will have risen high enough to bring
the waters in the entire canal up to
the deep water level required for the
passage of the largest ships.
It is said that as long ago as the
earlv Dart of Aurust. assurances were
given Washington officials that If the
emergency should arise, the entire
Atlantic battleshin fleet could be put
through the canal Into Pacific waters
within 60 days from that date. The
work has been hurried with that end
In view, it Is said, as no emergency
has existed, but this assurance is an
Indication of the belief of the engi
neers that their work Is now practical
ly finished.
Culebra Cut Caused Trouble. -
The excavation of the Culebra cut,
into which the water has Just been
turned, has been one of the engineer
ing feats connected with the building
of the canal, and has caused the en
gineers more trouble than any oth
er portion of the big "ditch." . To
Col. D. D. Gaillard, the engineer of
the central division, Is given . ths
credit for carrying this portion of the
work through to a successful termina
tion. The disastrous slides in the cut
were discouraging to the engineers,
nullifying In a few hours the work of
many weeks, but Col. Gaillard and his
assistants have kept untiringly at
their work, and at last have conquer
ed the treacherous banks of the deep
cut. The engineers believe that the
danger of slides will be , eliminated
now that the water has been turned
Into the cut. -
A little more than a month ago the
giant steam shovels finished .their
work In the Culebra cut Since that
time the, workmen have been busy
removing the shovels, the railroad
tracks and other machinery used in
the excavation work. There is still
some dirt to be removed from the cut
before the channel is finished, but
this work will be done by suction
dredges floating on the waters , of the
canal, and will not interfere witn nav
igation of the waterway by such boats
as may be allowed to pass through,
immense Artificial Lake Created
Gatun lake, the waters of which are
now flowing into the Culebra Cut, Is
the pivotal point about which the en
tire canal system revolves, and the
creation of this lake, together with the
construction of Gatun dam, consti
tuted another great engineering feat

At the northern end of the lake

and a half long. ; Figures alone give
an adequate idea of the magnitude of
this dam. Nearly half a mile wide at
Its base, about 400 feet wide at the
water surface, and 100 feet wide at
the top, the dike which many ; en
gineers predicted would never with

that nothing short of an earthquake

It The Gatun dam, Gatun lake and

proportions of each, dwarf the other

World Gives Goethals Credit '
: To Col. George Goethals, chairman
.of the Isthmian canal commission,
chief engineer of the commission and
governor of the canal tone, the world
viu give the credit for the successful
completion of the Panama canal. CoL
Goethals could not have accomplish

ed his task without the assistance of
such men ss Col. H. F. Hodges, Lieut
Col. David Du B. Baillard and Lieut
Col. William L. Sibert. army en
engineers, who have had charge of va
rious nhasea of the work, but Col. Goe
thals Is recognized as the real builder
of the canal.
Under Colonel Goethals the greater
nart of the t376.000.000 which the can
al will have cost when It is completed
has been spent. . It has been by far
the costliest engineering project In
the world. Nearly three-fifths of a
billion dollars has been spent In dig
ging a 40-mile "ditch." This means
that the Panama canal has cost the
United States $10,000,000 a mile.
Over $15,000,000 of the total amount
snent has been used to make the canal
zone habitable and sanitary. It has
been suggested that this is sn enor
mous amount of money to spend in
cleaninr un a Dlace in which few peo
ple will reside permanently, but the
engineers say that the .sanitation oi
th canal cone waa the chief factor in
maklnar the canal a reality. The fail
ure of the French has been attrinutea
to a large extent to the fact that
the workmen could not survive In the
fever and pest ridden country. I
The building of the great locks
which raise' a vessel to a height of 87
feet above sea level at one end of
thn ranal and lower it the same dis
tance at the other end, has been -In

aaaiatants. Colonel Hodges and Lieu
tenant Colonel Sibert. Colonel tioage s
work In Installing the immense jock
gates that form so Important a part
of the operating machinery or tne
canal, and his ability to overcome all
obstacles had led Colonel Goethals to
call him a genius. The building, pols-
Ina- and oneratlon of the lock gates
constitute one of the delicate prob
lems of lock canal construction, and
the proper handling of this problem
has been Colonel Hodge s contnou
tion to the work of construction of
the canal.
Lieutenant Colonel Sibert has had
charae of the building of the great
dam and locks at Gatun, in addition
to other duties . He saw long, ac
tive service In the Philippines, and
he is known in the army as a fight
er as well as an engineer.
Realise Dream of Centuries.
Through the work of these men all
of them members of Uncle .Sam's
lighting body, the United States has
been able to attain what has been in
truth the dream of centuries. .In nine
years these men have carried through
an undertaking that was first -tnougnt
of several , hundreds of years ago.
. The United States government first
took definite action loosing towara
the construction of an Isthmian canal
in 1K34. when the senate voted tor
the building of a Nlcaraguan canal.
an aTneditlon was sent to Nicaragua
to make an' Investigation, and report
ed that the canal could be construct
ed for 825.000.00, hardly one-twenti
eth of the amount that the Panama
canal will have cost when completed
De Lesseps First to Dig.
The matter rested until after, the
Civil war. when negotiations -for a
canal commission were entered Into
by the United States government: Be
fore anything bad been accomplished
the concession for a Panama canal
bad been given to Luclen Napoleon
Bonaparte Wyse, a Frenchman. He
nriranized a comnanv. which sold out
later to the financiers associated with
Ferdinand de Lesseps. The company
organized with de Lessees at its head
was the first one to actually begin op
erations on the isthmus. For eight
years da Lesseps' straggled manfully
aialnsi the sreatest odds that man
am- was called upon to face. Then
he was forced to give up the fight
his company collapsing as a result of
tiahnnaatv and extravagance on, tne
part of Its promoters, snd de Lesseps
driven Insana by the scandal, endea
bis days In an asylum.
8uch was ths history of the isth
misn canal project for soms SOO or
400 years, until the day In 1904 when
Tinrla Sam undertook the task.
in nine years the dream of ths ceil
turies has been realised, ' ,
