Panama canal slides are caused by er
,.cesaiv rainfall, the most important
remedies for which are drainage and
lulcing. according to a report sub
mltted to President- Wilson by the
-committee of eminent engineers and
scientists - which recently completed
n investigation on the Isthmus.
-William H. Welch, president of the
: National Academy of Sciences, is
: chairman of the committee.
" Despite the j.000,000 cubic yards of
earth .. yet , o be removed can be
' dredged -out only at the rate of
: 000,000 eubio yards a month, the pres
ident is Informed that the canal will
jaot be closed for a period of nine
' months, but that it can be opened as
; soon as the channel is sufficiently
deepened and the slides become so
plow that dredges, even when Inter
rupted by the passage of ships,' can
.- .keep ahead of the movements' of earth.
Slide in Culebra cut will continue
, to cae considerable expense to the
r nation for a number of years, the com
mittee declares, and the possibility of
-..further trouble at Culebra i pointed
cut. The report says it is the firm
.belief Of the committee that after the
present difficulties have been over

' San Francisco, March 25. (P. N. S.)
Paul Cooley, the dapper young fel
low, who Is named co-respondent in
the divorce suit filed by Art Smith on
March S, Just before he sailed for Ja
pan, quietly slipped Into town last
night from Chicago and is registered at
one of the out-of-the-way hotels.
He left his hotel early today and has
not visited even his best friends.
Whether Cooley came to San Francisco
to look after his interests in th di
vorce suit or whether h is here on a
business trip nobody seems 1 to know.
The fact is that he Is in the city and
apparently trying to keep his viait
as quiet as possible.
Cooley had a motion picture con
cession at the Panama-Pacific expo
sition, and he met Mrs. Smith at that
time.
