To ACTUAL OPENING FAR OFF Many Months Will Probably Elapse Before Deep Draft Ves sels Can Go Through. Colon, Panama, Jan. A period of many months probably will elapse after the Panama Canal i9 thrown opcn- to navigation bv the world's fleets before vesse.'.l of deep draft can go through. ' " A rumor to this effect, coupled with a grave scandal, has been in circula tion here for several weeks, but re cently, with the visit of President Taft, it ptas couie. to the front - with startling distinctness. , , r. - Although semi-ofucially confirmed, the story still lack official sanction. Briefly, it is said that subordinates of Colonel Goethals. have been . padding their figures on excavation, : that '-the records show ' the. big , ditch l much nearer completion than actually is the case, and that the real .' opening is farther off, although an effort wilt be made ,to admit light-draft - vessels at the time originally planued. ' ,' According to the report; there must be' excavated .eleven r" million - cubic yards more than wa Jhoughu'T his is in the gYeat Culcbra Cut, the- center of nearly all the real trouble the ca'nal hss given- jhe engineers. 'The belief is general here that . the situation in detail i was put"' before President ; Taft during his -visit.- "V Before that - time C olonet Goethals is said to have placed his linger, upon the seat of trouble and followed it "with a heavy hand,. - The cana.1 route was- resurvcytd, and there were many shifts in t positions off canal employes. ' . , " J ' t. ; The total amount &till to be dug out of the cut is 6, 56,068 cubic yards, ac cording to the official figures. This Is about v seven or eight" months' . work, i Ii would bring .he work in the cut to a close about next June or July, prp vided there are no more slides, a pro bability 'ever, present,' and in fact. now considered as one of the real re tarding agents of the channels' com pletion. ' . ... . :. The canal will be opened on time, but, there will be no supcr-dieau-naughts or thousand-foot ships, pass ing through for iiiany months to cone.

The forty-three barrels of whiske which was libeled and taken from the Norfolk Southern Railway Company's freight depot in this city a few week: ago still remains stored in. the govern ment building and will doubtless re main there until the April term of Federal court. This whiskey was shipped to one J. H. Smith by a firm in Cincinnati, O., and the government is now making an investigation to find out whether or not the shippers knew that they were shipping this whiskey to one person and that another was receiving it. There is a heavy penalty for knowingly shipping whiskey to a man and using an assumed name and if such is found to be the facts in this case the shipper will be prosecuted.

Wants to Know More About Those Young Americans Who Are Seeking Companions. WRITES FOR INFORMATION Young Woman From Greenville Also Displays Consider able Curiosity. There's a New Bern lady who would not object to considering a matri monial arrangement with one of cer tain good-salaried young Americans now in the Philippines. Yesterday's Raleigh News and Observer says: Publication Sunday in The News and Observer of the unwedded .lonesome plight of good salaried youag Amer icans in the Philippines and their long- ng fur American wives has set the .State's feminine heart to fluttering in manner that suggests the addition 01 a matrimonial nurcau to this pa pers' already multiplied activities. Everybody's talking about it, and to of the sex, who want their names with held, have written the editor of th; paper asking the address of one of the lonesome ones. Unfortunately, this paper hasn't the addresses. More unfortunately still, the paper finds that it hasn't room i.i its present building to establish the matrimonial bureau which the speed of these responses on a bare hint has warranted. This suggestion is thrown out to those whose hearts hae flut tered. A communication to the governor-general of the Philippine Is lands, Manila, ought to reach the proper spot. That only two of the State's women braved possible publicity to get into touch with the unmatched exiles is not r saying that the hearts of only two were touched. And those who care to write to the far-away islands need only a two-cent stamp and patience to wait. Remember that the isles are half around the world, and that an answer will be a long time coming.
