IMPROVED SERVICE Several of tin Katy Officials With tin- Passenger and Freight Agents in tin Parsons District. An important meeting of the local freight and puwngcr agon's of the K. T.

Hallway company at various points in the Parsons district was held in Parsons yesterday. A permanent oceanizatiou was perfected at this meeting, to be known as the Kansas Texas Local Agents' association. The membership will bo composed of the local irelght and passenger agents of the company along various divisions of the Parsons district of the Katy. The association is organized for lie purpose of bringing about, a complete harmony of spirit and action among the agents in the district and the cooperation of the various members, and will be beneficial not only to the railroad company, but to the general public as well as the individual members. It will bring about a greater degree of efficiency and the motto of the new organization will be "Service First." The meeting yesterday, which was arranged by J.

L. Walsh, superintendent of the Pardons disyid of the Katy, with its various divisions, was one of the most successful ever hell by any of the Katy employes, and the utmost harmony prevailed throughout. It was presided over in the organization by Mr. Walsh, until the organization was completed, whti it. was turned over to the officers elected by the new association, who are as follows: President, A.

G. Peck, of Kansas City; vice president, C. 11. Bumstcad, of .1 unction City; secretary, K. F.

O'Herln, of Parsons. The following out-of-town members were present: J. S. Harnett, St. Paul: A.

10. Hughes, Gas City; H. 13. Jones, Moral; B. N.

Gilbert, Fort Scott; IS. V. Browncll, Chanute; K. T. Sweet, Chanute; J.

L. Osborne, Appleton City: G. Peck, Kansas City; C. F. Smith, Kile.

Jn addition to these there were several present from Denver, St. Louis and other points, officials of the company who met with the agents. The next meeting of the association w'ill take place in Parsons, December 8, 1912, at which time certnin'sub-jects pertaining to special branches of the service will be discussed and the patrons of the company will confer a favor by bringing to the attention of agents any matter that in their judgment will add to the efficiency of the service which the company desires to extend. Any such subjects will be carefully considered and if practicable will be adopted. BULGARIAN ATTACK ON TURKISH FORCES FAILS canal been In operation," congress for the canal have rundlu Already the appropriations made by congress for the canal have run into big figures, the total up to June 30 last being and eince that date there have been additional exclusive of those for fortifications, amounting to J2S.9S0, 000, making the grant total' C41.4CS.

On June 30 of all these appropriations, the engineers had expended (ii) per cent of the total estimated cost of the canal. The Grout lu ks. Of even greater interest from an engineering point of view, than the vast but commonplace work of excavation in Culebra Cut. was the work of constructing the great locks at Gatun and Sliraflores and Pedro Miguel, for theie many novel problems have been solved, and lock machinery constructed of special designs of a magnitude never before heard of. For instance, so big are the valves at the side of the locks that a test showed that It required a pull of over ten tons on the stem to open one of these valves.

All this work is done electrically, and here again the engineers were confronted with new difficulties. Owing to the peculiar climatic conditions on tho insulation of electrical heat and extreme humidity, and the deteriorating effect of these conditions of the insulation of electrical machinery, the ordinary Insulation proved unreliable, and Ihe engineers found It necessary to make a great number of experiments, no less than sixteen sample motors being pitted against one another. It was an awful test for dynamo and motor builders to have their machines required lo operate for a period of ten days in a building filled with steam at a temperature of 50 degrees centigrade and having the motor cases filled with water for five hours at 30 'degrees. Ilul finally Ine American motor builders responded and suitable apparatus Is being installed. The Gate of the Canal.

Thus electric motors under tests, nie now swinging the great gates of the canal, each weighing very many tons and as tall and broad as a great sky-scraping building In the remarkable time of one minute and ftfrly-eight seconds. Incidentally it appean that to make these gates the iron workers must drive and head rivets. The. pivots of these Ri'eat locks -are being made of a special grade of steel unci bronze, not only for strength, hut to protect them against corrosion, a very necessary precaution in view of thn fact that they will always be, submerged In sea water after the canal Is opened, To guard against galvanic action, zinc rings are also placed on the bronze bushings. To supply tjie power to operate the gates and sluice valves In the locks, and furnish current for the monster electric locomotives which are to tow the steamships through the locks, a great hydro-eleetrlc station Is being erected adjacent to the spillway In Gatun dam.

There are three 2,250 kil owatts water turbines and three kilowatt generators with suitable exciters and other aiixlllHrics. There will be enough available water from Ihe storage in Lake Gatun to war rant the Installation of O.OOO kilo watts, though In the dry season it will be necessary to draw upon the storage. Altogether it Is figured that for this electric work 7 per cent of Ihe minimum water system of tho canal will be required. A part of the electricity Is (o be used for lighting the line of the canal. There will be con crete lamp posts 100 feet apart throughout the entire length of each lock wall.

Altogether 7,000 lamps will be Installed at the locks. Preparing the Harbors. Outside of lhi canal proper, the report shos that work has been go ing on rapidly in preparing hiirbors for the shelter of ships at each end of the waterway. The work of fortification has also been progressing well, neaVly half a million yards of concrete having been placed In the iuor: tar pits and gun emplacement during the last year. The sanitation of the Isthmus also has been maintained at the high level by Colonel Win, C.

Georgas, the chief sanitary officer, from tlie beginning. Contrary to the common impression the sanitary work In the way of clearing land, does not extend over the entire zone, but Ichh than 1,200 of the 278, MS acres in the trad ale kept char for sanitary purposes and almost, the entire zone Is iu its original condition as rccanls brush and jungle.

IS. President Taft '8 declaration in favor of a constitutional amendment to limit the presidential tenure of office to a single term of six years, with Ineligibility to either a succeeding or non-consecutive term, and Presidentelect Wilson's indorsement of the democratic platform favoring such a limitation are believed here to foreshadow strong pressure for legislation along this line early In the coining congress. Numerous measures have been introduced in both houses in cougress looking to the change of the presidential tenure. The judiciary committee wrestled with the problem last season and Senator Cummins, who reported the Works proposed amendment out of committee, purposes to press the measure when congress convenes. A similar measure is hanging fire in the house judiciary committee.

HODGES STILL LEADS; CAPPER IS CONFIDENT Del urns From All the Counties Are in Kxcent Wyandotte, uml the Governorship In Doubt. Topeka, Nov. 18. It is more than probable that whether the certificate of election as governor is given to Arthur Caliper or Geo. II.

Hodges, the man who receives it will have a contest on his hands. Each of the candidates has declared his intention to contest the election, and each is claiming a majority. No changes were reported today in the battle for the governorship and both candidates are claiming the election. Wyandotte is the only county whose official report has not yet been received by the secretary of state', Th-j figures in the governor race stand as tbey did yesterday. Totalling the 101 counties ofliclally reported to the secretary of state, and adding as Hodges' majority in Wyandotte, gives Hodges lead of If 9.

reports, from 17 counties will be made, it Is said, and they will Inereare Hodges' lead to according to the changes it Is said they will report. Five ol tile- 17 counties will show increases for Capper and 12 for Hodges. There may be supplemental reports from still other counties "I feel my chances nrj juJt as good as Sir. Hodges," said Mr. Capper today.

"It will take the final figures to settle tho matter. At the Democratic state headquarters, Chairntan 'Marjin slated that he is certain of Hodges' election. Martin declined to give out any figures. The state canvassing board meets November 25 to canvass the returns. JVSIAICAX STORM COXTIXl FS.

Griffin had raised disturbance in the Hayden saloon, near the Rock Island depot, and the marshal was called Ir to arrest him.

After considerable difficulty he got the prisoner started toward police headquarters and when the two had gone about two blocks, Griffin rebelled again. Dunn says the drunk-crazed man struck him In the face, and he was forced to shoot, lie shot times 4fnd 2 of the burets took effect, one in the left cheek, one in the right side and the other in the right shoulder. Griffin was removed to the Wright hospital, here he lived but three boms. Witnesses who saw the shooting say that the dying man declared Dunn had no cause to shoot him. The officer refuses to disorss the tragedy except to declare that the prisoner started the trouble by rif using to go to the police station.

Griffin, who resides here, was unmarried ami is survived by a mother, father, brother and three sisters. He was a machinist by trade. dr. gabrTelIurT in auto accident today Will lie Confined to the House a Fee. Days hut is Xnt Seriously Injured.

Dr. Geo. W.

PILES OF CORPSES Dead and Dying Me Together Along the Road and Station.s Are Piled With the Dead From the Plague.

Berlin, Nov. 18. According to war correspondent of Tageblatt, the liveliest ImaglnVion Is unable to depict the horrors existing among the Turkish troops on the Tchatalja lines. Deaths from the cholera number daily along the Turkish lines. Thousands of dead and dying, he says, lie together along the roads and the railroad stations are piled with the dead.

The trains are loaded with thu corpses of the cholera-stricken soldiers and the wounded. "I walked along the fltatlou platform among piles oT corpses and masses of groaning sick men stricken with tho plague who would find relief only in death." A dispatch from Constantinople says that Thursday 3,000 cholera patients arrived by train at San Stefano. They would have been taken to Constantinople but for the protests of the railway company and the Austrian ambassador, who asked that they be sent to the Lazarettos at Bc-cos'and Ismldt. For twenty-four hours tho patients remained In the train on a siding at San Stefano without water, food or medicine. Then they were shipped to the quarantine station; if tbey had been of the lower animals they could not have been more neglected.

Yesterday a foreign doctor, assisting In the military hospital, discovered by accident that five soldiers dying of cholera had been placed among tho wounded. He ordered their removal. Bearers took un the dying men on their shoulders, hut their 'condition whs audi that he'or-dered the bearers to drop them. They did and the suffercrd were left lying In the mud for an hour, groaning and in convulsions, before thoy were removed on stretchers. An extraordinary feature of condl-tlons behind the Turkish lines at Tchatalja Is the indifference of thn army to the presence of unauthorized vlsltars.

Any foreigner wearing a fe' or a European hat may hire a vehicle and drive to the Turkish entrench-' tnents and inspect the There appears to bo no cordon to prevent fugitives from returning; to Constan tlnople. Several foreign offlcere who visited the lines Thursday and Friday re-1 port the situation hopeless. The troops for the most part are unable to work because cholera-Infected soldiers are keeping watch In the earthworks. Innumerable sick lie groaning In the fields to the rear, some of theni in their last agonies. Countless cholera-infected fugitives are struggling on tlie fan-shaped road converging on llndemkeul from the outer forts.

Thousands of patients and hundreds of dead lie on the 'ground around Hudamkoui. At DerkoH Lake, the chief source o( Constantinople's water supply, there was a guard of soldiers, but twelve of theni died and fifteen others were-stricken with cholera Thursday night. There Is great fear that the whole watershed will be contaminated. Involving Constantinople In the greatest danger. The three physicians at Derkos have been unable to do more than bury the dead.

Turkish officers regard further resistance at Tchatalja, as impossible for the Bulgarians to occupy the Turkish positions without endangering the whole Bulgarian army through cholera. I IKLT.I GS ACTIVK AGAIN. Two Attempts Yesterday to Fire Business There were two attempts made yesterday to set fire to property in this the first being dlscoverod by some little colored boys who were playing in the railroad yards, when they found some burning waste In a box car. The lads threw-the wasto out of the car. The second attempt was made In the hallway over Dudley's cafe, wheru a handful of waste was found burning briskly.

The door against which the waste was piled was badly burned, but beyond that there' was no harm done. It seems as if the firebugs are still at work and are determined to make a very disastrous fire. Chief Buell said this morning that had the fire in the hallway gained, headway it would have proven very' serious, as the department would have had to work under great difficulty.

He said that Mrs. Lesh would be prosecuted on the charge of murder in the first degree, regardless of her confession.

Tin local authorities and physicians who today examined Sirs. Lesh, were unanimous in their opinion that she Is sane.

OFFICIAL OPI NING JANTAI5Y HIT Sin PS WILL PASS TIIROt Gil MAY BE YEAK LATER When the Famous Old Oregon Will Lend the Naval Fleet Through the Canal From the Atlantic to the Pacific. Washington, Nov, I S. Sometime next Bummer or fall, no exact date be ing specified, a vessel will pass from the Atlantic to the Pacific across wiiat is now the isthmus of Panama, which consequently must disappear from the world's gcographv and by the same human agency, the western hemisphere will be divided Into two contiiicnents, The vessel will not be the Oregon nor any other famous ship, but will be one of the many small water craft In dally use by the canal builders; and probably the only passengers will be Col.

George Goethals, and the staff of American engineers, who for the past eight years have been carrying on the greatest engineering work the world has ever seon. It will be later than that, anywhere fro mslx mouths to a year, perhaps, before tho formal opening of the waterway will take place and naval fleet headed bv the lamous old Oregon will pass through into the western ocean and the canal may be fairly said to be open to trade The Official Opening. These fads aie not of official roc, ord as jet; (he date of January 1 still stands lor the opening pre dicted by Colonel Goethals. Hut that the opening will be anticipated to a great extent has been promised by the canal builders in unofficial statements, and now conies a dear In timatlon of their purpose to advance the opening date, in the annual re port of the canal commission, Jucd published. It Is disclosed while the completion of tlie great locks by Jam uary first next will not be possible owing' to contract delays, within" lx months thereafter tho channel will he finished, while to Insure the safe pnesage of the locks, the contractor has been called upon to finish the gates In one (light first, so that If the rest of the work Is In condition passage of shins can be permitted without walling for the completion' of the other flights.

This statement will be understood, when It Is known tluit the great locks being built In duplicate, side by side, not only to add to the capacity of the canal, but to Insure its continuance In operation In case of a serious accident to a ship In one of the Icjcks. Work Is Satisfactory. The report shows a most satisfactory state of progress of (lie whole great work, though In view of the fact that it is dated September 10 last, tlie figures regarding excavation, placing of concrete, erection of dams and locks and subsidiary Vorks are not as recent as those contained in the regular-monthly reports, Naturally the most interesting fen I ure of Ihe report relates to the operations in the great. Culebra Cut. Here, groat landslides, manq ranking with an Alpine avalanche in magnitude, have so increased the amount of material to be excavated, that were it not found IMissibli! to Klcadily reduce tho cost per yard of dredging and steam shoveling thiough the growing expertness of the employes, and Improved en gineering methods, the total cost of excavation would have been vastly greater than the estimates.

During the last year nearly 1 (i entile yards of earth were taken out of this cut. leaving nearly 1 00, en lo lie displaced hofore the oanal can be opened. The damage caused by the slides may lie appreciated from Ihe fact that nearly 0,000, Out) yards of earth excavated as so comopsed or nearly 30 per cent of the total excavation. There is only one way to deal with these slides, and that, is lo dig them oul as tbey occur, though some help is gained by terracing the upper banks. Thai, Is because the geological formation haiiges so frequently and suddenly that no other effective treatment has been found.

So unstable is the'tlirth that the material In olie part of Ihe cut begjns to move on an iiicllnatiotF as low as I on 7, owing to the mass of stratified rock tiding over a layer of lignite. One slide now iu motion, near the bridge of Culelirt, coveis an urea of elxly-three ai from which 2,710,000 yards have aheady been removed, leaving still to lie bandied. Another Little Slide. Then there Is another little slide of no less than fifty acres on the op posite side of the canal. The result of these earth movements, which are quite exceptional In engineering practice, has been to leave the canal in its deepest portions, with very flat slopes.

The encouraging feature of the heavy work at that point Is found In the statement in the report "that none of he slides which ccurred dur Turkish Position in Front of Too SI run it for the Allied Armies. London, Nov. IS. The Bulgarian attack on the Turkish forts at Tchatalja has failed, though while the Bulgarian army was engaged It began an advance Saturday and con-till uel tho bombardment over Sunday.
