Pittsburg May 23. New York State's S120.000 000 barge canal is as Kreat a project if not greater then the Panama Canal according to State Engineer John A. Bensel of New York In an address before the Engineer's Society of Western Pennsylvania. "The barge canal" he said "covers 540 miles and embraces between 350 and 400 structures; the Panama Canal is fifty miles long and has few if any structures besides six pairs of locks. Along the barge canal while construc tion work is going on navigation is maintained; operations are done en tirely through contractors and trans portation facilities are not controlled. Theste difficulties are absent at Panama. "In the winter season work is almost entirely suspended along the barge ca nal a greater hindrance to progress of work than the rainy season of the tropics. "The barge canal runs through a thickly populated section of New York State including the cities Troy Sche nectady Utica Syracuse Rochester Batavia and Rome. The Panama Canal is being built through a new and un developed territory. Nine million peo ple are paying for the cost of construc ting the barge canal; the cost of the Panama Canal will be borne by 90 000 -000 people." 0 Si!

ACTIVITY STIRS UP STRIFE Sheriff Asked To Remove Him, But Won't Do It Declares He Wants Game Officers. Poukeepsie, N. Y., May 22. The Ulster county villiage of New Platz, which lies at the gateway to Lake Mohonk, home of the International Mohonk, home of the International Peace Confeences, is in far from a peaceful state as the result of a series of raids led by Rev. Edwin Corneillc, a Reformed Methodist clergyman and deputy sheriff, on several hotels and one or two business institutions. His posse arrested nearly a score of young village girls, of whom Ruth and Helen Wiggers, sisters, 15 and 17 years old, were placed on trial todav after being indicted by the grand jury. The activity of Mr. Corneille has stirred up great strife in the community which has been rent for months over a prohibition crusade. He was served today in a slander suit for $10,000 brought by Mrs. Edwin Braught, pro prietress of a hotel which the minister is alleged to have raided. A local newspaper was made a co-defendnt with the clergyman. Scarcely had the papers in the slander suit been filed than a petition contain ing 190 names of citizens was addressed tl Sheriff Archibald McLaughlin, of LIhter county, demanding that Mr. Corneille be removed from the office of deprty "for the good of the com munity." Sheriff McLaughlin tabled the pe tition, stating that Mr. Corneillc would not be removed until sufficient cause for such action was given. "I like a game man, even if he is a preacher, "said the Sheriff, "and Cor neille is a sticker. He is a capable deputy, and I see no reason to remove him." Mr. Corneille is declared to have obtained the names of many citizens who frequented the place he visited. He stated today t h:,t this, in all prob ability signed the petition asking for his rc.nnval. "We are in this thing to the finish," said Mr. Corneille. "I am noi uagjng a holier-than-thou in.sadc, but a straightforward movement for a better N " Paltz. What would our H.igucnot foref thers think it they saw us as we now are. I hope the Sheriff will not unseat me until I have ridden ihrough a few more of these camps ol iniquity." TWO BROTHERS DRINK QUART OF WHISKEY EACH ON WAGER New York, May 23. Alee.

WENT BLINDLY INTO TRAP Detective Sent Marked Coins Through The Mail And Watched Carrier. Norfo k, May 23. Charged with secreting, embezzling and destroying mail matter, Davis W. Arrington, a letter carrier of the Norfolk post office, was arrested yesterday and held under bond of $500 for his appearance before United States Commissioner Percy S. Stephenson at 1 o'c ock today for pre liminary hearing. Arrington was taken into custody by F. R Barkley, a de tective of the postoffice department at Washington, who was sent to make investigation of numerous complaints reported by Major C. L. Wright, post master. Arrington was first taken into the postmaster s private office. He is s.iid to have made a full and frank con fession of the charges. Postoffice offi cials say they found concealed in his clothes 139 pieces of mail-matter, in eluding special delivery letters, ordi nary letters, postal cards and pack ages, together with a special delivery letier mailed by the detective in Rich mond, which contained two marked one-dollar bills and a marked fifty cent coin. It was this letter that led to Arring- ton's apprehension, according to the detective. It was addressed to Mrs. Mary R. Swanson, 432 Thirty-fourth street, Norfolk, Va. Through the street address was drawn a lead pencil mark and the letter was re-directed to 810 Reservoir avenue, which is a vacant house. Detective Barkley, assisted by B. E. Albertie, thc local postoffice detective, traced the letter as ,it went through the postoffice, falling into Arrington's hands for delivery. When he came in fromh is route the letter was not re turned, Then Barkley roceeded to search him. Over 450 complain'- "f I t letters, many of them rontai. ir. imney, soir.c is much as SS0, had . ir.i- into tin- hands of the postmaster within the past few months. The complaints were increasing at an .ilarminj; rate when Major Wright decided to i;o to Washington and lay the matter In-fore the Postoffice Department. Last Mon day he made a personal repo.t and Mr. Barkley was assigned to work on the case with the local detective. He ar rived Tuesday and expects to return to Washington tonight. fi! TURKEY TROT BOSTON AND TANGO FIND FA VOR AMONG THE DAN CING MASTERS. New York, May 23. Invasion of the Bristish Isles by the "turkey trot," the Tango and other modern dances has so stirred the British public that a spirited discussion of the diversion in question is now in progress in the newspapers, ca ble advicCB from London show. Editor ial writers have taken up the topic and are treating of it freely. "Some of the attitudes in the new dances are strange, we admit," says thc Standard, "but surely the important point is that thc dancers see nothing curious in them." Few, if any, of the London dancing masters seem to regard the "turkey trot" as suitable to the ballroom, the cabled comment indicates, but opinion regarding other dances generally group ed with this is not so nearly 'unanimous. The Boston and the Tango, which a correspondent of the Times, who sins herself "Peeress." describes as "the beginner of evd," are regarded by Charles Dalbert, vice-president of the Imperial Society of Dancing Masters, as two of the most graceful dances in vented since the time of the minuet. Other opinions are at widely at variance. ENGLAND STIRRED TEMPORARILY TRANSFERRED Lieut. C. Gabbett Leaves Monday For Key West, Fla. Liuetentant Cecil Gabbett, who has been stationed on the revenue cutter Pamlico w"hose home port is New Bern, has been temporarily transferred to the revenue cutter Yamcraw, located at Key West, Fla., and will leave for that place Monday. Mrs. Gabbett and children will go to Baltimore next week for a visit with the former's parents. The schooner Nelson of Bay River, Captain Rice in command, was in port yesterday taking on a cargo of barrels to be used by the potato grow ers in that section. STREET SWEEPER MACHINE FAILED TO PROPERLY PERFORM ITS DUTIES AND IS BEING REPAIRED. After more than a year of inactiv ity, during which time it has been "resting" in the rear of the City Hall, the street sweeper has been resurrected and will within a few days be oa reg ular duty. This machine is of the tubular vari retyandit requires two horses to draw it over the streets. During the past week new bristles have been placed on it and early yesterday morning it was taken out for a trial. The machine had not been used in such a long while that it had become rusty in a nu'mber of places and this caused its work to be unsatisfactory. However, the neces sary repairs are being m,;de and it will soon be in readiness for operation. It has been suggested that the Board of Aldermen purchase a machine that sprinkles and sweeps at the same time. With the use of the sweeper now owned by the city it is necessary to use the street sprinkler and two men and two horses are required to operate t he latter. Charlotte has a machinethat sprinkles and sweeps at the same time and the authorities there are greatly pleased with its work. Tin- advisal lilit v of purchasing such a machine will be con sidered bv the local Board.
