W hen the Cristobal steams from Its alip to the Atlantic entrance of the ca nal It will mark the conclusion by American enterprise of the greatest en gineering task ever undertaken and the culmination of ten years of the hard est kind of work against physical ob atacles which have severely taxed the abilities of the Army engineers under Colonel Goethals.

The channel through the Culebra cut must be deep ened and widened so that It will not be necessary for the great liners and bat tleships to pass through the tricky "slide" at Cucharacha and Bold Hill In single file.

Methods of Perfecting Combination Culled ''Elusive, Complicated and Indirect" Calling of Special Grand Jury Uncertain. NEW YORK, July 23. With the ftllng today of a civil suit to dissolve the New York. New Haven & Hartford railway system here, the Department of Justice today cleared the way to press its request for Indictments of New Haven officials and directors for al leged criminal violation of the Sher man anti-trust act. Attorney-General McReynolds probably will be in New York tomorrow and is expected to con fer with T. W. Gregory, his special as sistant In the New Haven case, about the proposed grand Jury proceedings. No Federal grand jury is now in ses sion in New York and it was not re vealed tonight whether the Depart ment will wait until the next Jury- meets, early in August, or summon a special grand Jury for this case alone. L'nlamful Monopoly Charged. Mr. Gregory and F. M. Schwacker, former expert of the Interstate Com merce Commission, who helped inves tigate the New Haven for the Depart ment of Justice, are expected to appear before the grand Jury and present the evidence on which Indictments will be The civil suit begun today against the New Haven charges that it Is an unlawful monopoly in restraint of trade and asks the court to divest the New Haven of its holdings in the Boston & Maine Railroad, the old New England Railroad, Us sound and outside steam ship lines, its wharves and docks In New England and other properties which the brief says were acquired to make paramount Us grasp on New England's transportation. The bill is sweeping In cnaracier anu n by the courts the New Haven may be separated from so many of its present subsidiaries that it will have little left but its lines from New York to Boston. Methods of Combination Scored. The bill scores the methods used by the New Haven to perfect its combina tion. ,. .. "In accomplishing these results, It says, "elusive, complicated and indirect methods have been resorted to in order to conceal the real character of the transactions involved, to destroy the identitv of the lines acquired and ren der their assets and physical properties indistinguishable. Corporations of many states have been organized or purchased and used as subsidiaries, among which the properties acquired have been distributed and redistrib uted in various combinations. -One of the purposes in resorting to this complicated system has been to en trench the New Haven Company In Its monopolies and to make It impracti cable for the Government to apply spe cific remedies and restore original con ditions. Nevertheless the control of all properties constituting these monop olies today is vested In either the New Haven Company or In some of the other defendants, or in corporations con trolled by it, or individuals acting in its behalf." NEW BLOOD HELD NEED Portland 1110 Company Must Be Re organized, Says Official. SALEM, Or., July 23. (Special.) That the Portland Concrete Pile Com pany must be reorganized and placed upon a sound financial basis before It will be granted a permit to sell stock was the announcement made today by Theodore Burkart, auditor of the State Corporation Department, who is In charge in the absence of Coninilsisoner Watson. Mr. Burkart said that the order re voking the company's permit was Is sued by him July 9, after lie had be come convinced a reorganization was necessary. "The company will not be allowed to sell stock or securities of any kind or to make transfers as matters now stand." continued Mr. Burkart. "The concern is evidently Insolvent and something must be done. This depart ment acted after a committee of stock holders reported that a reorganiza tion was necessary. When Mr. Watson returns, 1 think he will order a thor ough investigation of the affairs of the company, but the matter will be held in abeyance until that time. I thing it likely that the new board of directors will evolve a plan of reor ganization which will be satisfactory." BARNES SUE SIR. Republican Chairman Colonel Libeled Him. Says l'a t took tnem witnoui k tou. xue men talked for a few minutes and Mr. Ivins left. Mr. Barnes when ne the papers in New Mr. Ivins said was looking over York, remarked: "Mr. Roosevelt last year did the very unusual thing of suing for libel a Michigan editor who called him a drunkard.

When the suit was mentioned till face grow stern for an Instant. Then he laughed: "Let Mr. Barnes go on," he said slowly, choosing his words with care.

Action Grows Out of Statement In. dorsing Hlnman for Nomination for Governor, Which Barnes Says Is "Diatribe." NEW YORK, July 23. Chairman William Barnes, of the Republican State Committee, announced today that he had instructed his counsel to bring suit for libel against Theodore Roose velt, based on Colonel Roosevelt's state ment of last night attacking Mr. Barnes and Indorsing the candidacy of Harvey D. Hlnman for the nomination for Gov ernor at the Republican primaries. Mr. Barnes asks for $50,000. The suit has been brought in the Su preme Court. "1 have nothing whatever to say in reply to Mr. Roosevelt's diatribe, ex cept that It lacks dignity and self-restraint and is without foundation," reads Mr. Barnes' statement. "When an issue of this kind is raised by a person of such prominence one has but one of three courses to submit to the aspersion, to enter Into an unseemly personal controversy, or to appeal to the courts, In order to give the person who utters the libel an opportunity to produce legal evidence. "I deny the truthfulness of every statement made by Mr. Roosevelt In his publication this morning and have Instructed my counsel to bring an action for libel without delay against him." 4-acar PAPERS SERVED OX COLONEL Lawyer Motors Out to Oyster Bay In Pouring Rain.

"I'm sorry," Mr. Ivins began, "to dis turb you in a matter of this kind" but Colonel Roosevelt would listen to no expressions of regret. "That's all right," he said. He In vited Mr. Ivins into his library. Then he brought out a box of cigars, ex- Rev. Charted A. Phlppa and W. S. Hol lls Speakers at Gathering In Fourth Presbyterian Church. Problems of training Sunday school teachers and workers were discussed at the annual institute of District No. 10 of the Oregon Sunday School Asso ciation in the Fourth Presbyterian Church, First and Gibb streets, last night. Rev. Charles A. Phipps and W. S. Hollis were the speakers and both dwelt on two principal topics the pro curing and training of Sunday school teachers and the overcoming of indif ference of both teachers and Sunday school pupils. "We have two uppermost questions to deal with in Sunday school work," said Mr. Phipps, "one being the prob lem of procuring good teachers who will devote their spare time to earnest endeavor toward teaching the pupils of our Sunday schools. After obtaining these-, we must then turn our attention to properly training them. "The second problem is that of Indif ference of teachers and students. How ever, if we get good teachers and train them to be interesting as well aa in structive, the second problem is easily overcome," declared the speaker. Mr. Hollis' topic was "The Teacher the Sunday School Needs." "The greatest problem our Sunday schools must face to be a success Is that of iretting koou tuachtsrs," de clared Mr. Hollis. "We must have teachers who know the good from the bad, who are thoroughly familiar with the Bible and who know how to be Interesting. They must know their pupils and how to be actively in touch with them." Rev. Henry G. Hanson, pastor of the Fourth Presbyterian Church, presided, and several musical numbers were on the programme. YOUNG MOULTON SOUGHT 18-Year-OId Irene Morphew Is Complaining Witness. On complaint of Irene Morphew, 18 years old, a warrant has been Issued by the District Attorney's office for the arrest of James A. Moulton, a youns Portland attorney. Efforts to serve the warrant have failed. John A. Collier, Deputy Dis trict Attorney, who made out the com plaint against Mr. Moulton and later Issued the warrant, says the young man had left the city last Saturday. Except that he was seen at Vancouver, Wash., the authorities have not been ah!e to trace him. The young woman says she and Moul ton were engaged to be married. She told Mr. Collier that he kept putting off the date. On Saturday, she said, she made a final request that he marry her and when, as she says, ne again sought to put It off, her condition was such that she went to the District At torney's office and swore to the complaint. The warrant, however, was not issued then. Young Moulton is only Z years old. He recently was admitted to the bar. and is a brother and law partner of Arthur I. Moulton, Progressive and Prohibition candidate for Kepresenta- tive in Congress. Mr. (Jollier told Arthur I. Moulton that to marry Miss Morphew appeared to be the only honorable thing for his brother to do. Mr. Moulton said he would help find the young man, but later Informed Mr. Col lier that he had failed, his brother having left without consulting him. Accordingly the warrant was Issued and given to Constable Weinberger to serve. Mr. Collier says Moulton, If found, will be brought back. The al leged offense is punishable by a Peni tentiary sentence. Miss Morphew is a stenographer, living on the East Side with her parents. RICH MINING MAN DEAD F. W.
