TRESPASSER SHOWS
WITH NOVEL PLEA
On testimony that a raal estate
agent had shown him the Barch lots
in Gladstone as the ones that were in
cluded in his trade, Harry Wilson was
acquitted of the trespass charge that
had been brought against him in the
justice court Monday.
It was introduced, during tha trial.
and the Canal in Picture and Prose.'
away from the edge of the cut, lest
it be swept into the gorge.
As the slide moves slowly down
ward, its colossal weight applied at
points where nature had made no pro
vision for it, forces the earth upward
at the point where it can offer the
least resistance, namely the bed of
the canal. ' The upheaval of the oanal
bed and the occasional outpourius of
steam hve led at times to exaggerated
reports in the newspapers of volcanic
action being one of the new ''oblcms
with which the "canal builders had to
grapple.
" At one time it was the policy of the
commission to keep the public in the
dark concerning the apparently seri
ous obstacles to the progres of the
work. The canal zone is fairly haunt
ed by men able to arouse the atten
tion of the public. Since I have been
here every ship brings congressmen,
magazine writers and newspaper men.
Anything that savors of secrocv in
stantly arouses their interest, and if
their conclusions are erroneous it is
the fault mainly of those who seek to
obscure the facts. Probably it was
largely because of the earlier efforts
of the commission to hush the matter
up that the impression spread in the
United States that the slides would
indefinitely delay the conclusion ot
the work even if they were not wholly
fatal to it.
The commission now is perfectly
frank. The story told about the ex
tent of the slides is sufficiently alarti.
ing, but the calmness with which they
are meeting the situation is reassur
ing. '
Nobody with knowledge anticipates
that the slides will interfere with
Cololonel Goethals determination to
put a ship through the canal on time.
The canal is so wide at the cut that
biggest slide has never obstructed
more than one-third of its width, so
that sufficient channel for the passage
of ships necessarily buoyed off in
the free water while the dredges, are
working to remove the obstruction.
The dirt can not always slide in
faster than it is carried out. For in
time there will b eno dirt left to
slide. Arid so-undismayed and intent
upon success, the whole force from
Colonel Goethals to the youngest engi
neer moves on Culebra and the doom
of that- stubborn block to progress is
sealed.
