What .r more, the.-e docks are to be ; ;-e4 with The most modern elec * cargo handling machinery, in - ludine huge overhead electrical ’lit*- and . system of escalators for a*c t.g *ween deck cargoes, the en t:re sys em to be operated probably i - water j>ower develop'd at the Mira Slores dam Decks on the Atlantic. The docks to be erected at the At .antic side are not so extensive, as they are Intended merely for the berthing of steamers while waiting •o er.'er the canal and for the han ng of such supplies and material as are ne essary for tha’ end. Never "b* • -:ese piers will be worthy of admiration. The :n p-ovements at this end con template ’he dredging out of an an i.orage basin a mile long and 3.623 * • v id* and the construction of four r. r -te piers of the same sixe as at •1* PaciS docks The basin will ad j :r ’be ctrai channel, which Is Jregged out to Limon bay. Tlx .r.pt cements a: the Atlantic end it Is estimated will cost in the neighborhood of $4,000,000 and those at the Pacific end $10,000,000. This will come out of the general canal fund When these improvements are com pleted it will be possible for a ship to load at New York, for example, with freight for the Pacific coast and also with freight for Central and South America. The former class of freight would be put in the hold and the lat ter between decks. She would then .'ail through the canal to the great docks at the Pacific end. where await ing ! (r w ould be perhaps some of the twin screw oil-burning barges de scribed by Mr Baker. Freight Easily Transshipned. They would make fast to her inside the slip and by means of the escala tors would take her between-deck cargo intended for Central American points Possibly her terminus might be these Pacific docks and the cargo in her hold intended for Peru and Chile In that case great electric cranes would transfer this cargo to the docks, moving it at the rate of 1.000 tons an hour. From the docks it would be put aboard regular west coast steamers, of which there is al ready one line running to Peru, w hich will probably be extended to Chile. Once empty such a vessel would load up with cargo brought from the east or from South America. While of course these docks are to be opened to all ships, their advantage to this country lies in the fact That such facil ities for transporting American goods means the opening of a trade door which has heretofore been shut, giving our Atlantic coast ports for the first time a chance to compete with and even to outstrip the Furopean ship ping concerns which have been sup plying South America and Central America bv regular Fteamers running tur oudii? ui /iu^ri.au To understand the possibilities which this will open up one should draw a line from some of the Atlantic pons down to Valparaiso, making it so through the canal. By reason of the peculiar bend of the isthmus such a line would be almost a straight north and south line. Freight may be shipped from Xew York by a 16-knot boat throush the canal to Valparaiso, transferred there to the railroad across the Andes and delivered at Buenos Ayres six clays ahead of freight carried in the same boat from New York down the east coast of South America to the Argentine cap ital. It could be transshipped at Buenos Ayres and taken up to Rio Janeiro in two days quicker time. As was brought out at the confer ence in Washington the total foreign commerce of the Central American countries Venezuela and Ecuador In 1!>09 amounted to $135,000,000. Of this amount only $27,000,000 was with this country. In other words these na tions bought here 64 cents worth of the products when they spent $3.58 in the European markets. Chile and Peru imported $15,000,000 of com modies from this country out of their total imports of $125,000,000. This was by reason of the control Europe has had of their trade through the Strait of Magellan. What is confidently expected to fol low the projection of these docks and facilities at Panama is tl^ establish ment of a number of new American steamship lines. It is said that plans are already being made by certain in terests for distributing freight from the canal. The Ballot in Bolivia.

Cakemaker’s Hint. When it Is necessary to make sev eral cakes at once, save yourself the tiresome beating of the batter by put ting the required ingredients in their usual order Into a small ice cream freezer. A few minutes of turning the crank results in a fine, smooth batter necessary for a successful cake. This Is a great Improvement over beating with a spoon after the old fashion. IMPRISONED FOR SMUGGLING To defraud the government ot the United States of its customs coming here from the old world has been the darling wish of many women ever since Americans have been able to in dulge in the luxury of an ocean voy age. Miss Multimillionaire, secure in her social position, did not like to be held up on the dock and made to pay large sums for being caught trying to swindle the government. But when she is caught finally she chafes under her treatment, but society stands by her and that encourages others to fol low her example. To remove this prop from the fash ionable woman the authorities have decided to jail those caught in de frauding Uncle Sam of his dues. This penalty, it is thought, will prevent rep- | utable women from engaging in the business. The first to suffer the imprisonment ^——^——^^ lil” V^lAilAl *» lir* ii a: ».** \ .. V *•“ Mrs. Roberta G. Hill, divorced wife of Major Hill of the English army. She pleaded guilty to smuggling in a sable coat and jewelry valued at $8,000, pleading in extenuation that she was igno- j rant of the lav. Judge Martin in New York fined her $2,000 and sentenced her to serve three days in a cell in the Tombs. Mrs. Hiil became hysterical ] when imprisonment was added to fine. She is a daughter of Morris Menges, a horseman of Brooklyn. Mrs. Hill is given to the romantic. At sixteen she married Haisev Corwin of Brooklyn, but she soon after divorced him. Discovery after discovery of those attempting to smuggle valuables into the ports of our country, chiefly at New York, have resulted only in fines, i and this has failed to stop the practice. Exposure and consequent disgrace proving ineffectual, the courts finally determined on imprisonment. This seemed the only way to make the rich and influential and society belles come to a realization of this kind of offending—that it was a real crime. HUNGARIAN STATESMAN HERE One of the most eminent of Euro pean statesmen. Count Albert Appon i yi, member of the Hungarian parlia ment and ex-minister of public wor ship and education of Austria-Hungary, is now on a visit to this country in the interest of international peace. He has come to deliver a series of lec tures on the difficulties of the peace problem in Europe and to urge this , country to become the world’s leader in the efforts to abolish war. This is not his first visit to the T'nited States. He came here in 1904 to attend the peace conference held at St. Louis. He has been active in the cause of the world's peace for many years and has attended interparliamentary confer ences on the subject at Brussels, Christiania. Paris and London. Count Apponyi is a member of a Hungarian aristocracy which traces its descent in an unbroken line back i > •> ■ / '■/ | to 1230. tie was Dorn m 1S46, was ed ucated In schools conducted by the Jesuits and has been in public life since 1872. He was a conservative when he first entered politics, but is now the leader of the nationalists, or the Kos suth party, in Hungary. Although an aristocrat by birth and heredity, he is noted for his democracy and years ago relinquished the seat which was his by right in the Hungarian house of peers in order to sit in the lower house. The count is the owner of magnificent estates in Hungary and is w ealthy. His wife is related to the royal family of England, her grandmother having been a sister of Queen Victoria’s husband, the prince consort. IMPORTANT COMMITTEE HEAD ---—I One of the figures of the Sixty-sec c-nd congress will be Representative Oscar W. Underwood of Alabama, se lected by the Democratic caucus to head the all-important ways and means committee. Mr. Underwood will be the Democratic fioor leader, succeed ing in that position Representative Se reno E. Payne of Xew York, and will give his name to the new tariff bill which the Democrats propose to put through. Mr. Underwood never held an office or was a candidate for such a position until 1S94. Then he ran for congress, the entire issue being the tariff, and he had a bitter fight. Speaker Crisp came into the district to help him and when the votes were counted he had won by 1.000. Since that time he has never had an opponent for the nomi nation. He has been elected to con grvs* eisaii umes. mree times without » Republican opponent. He has always been a close friend and confidential adviser of .Champ Clark and is only forty-eight years old. He was bom in Louisville. Ky. His grandfather was a colleague of Henry Clay in the senate. Young Cnderwood attended the I'niversity of Virginia, graduating in law in 18S4. It was there that he began to get his Democratic ideas. He has been married twice, his first wife dying in 1900. In 1904 he remarried. Mr. Cnderwood is a prominent member of the Birmingham Country club ind spends all of his spare time in the summer playing golf on the slopes of Red mountain. MOUNTS HIGH IN THE ARMY Another step in his steadily upward I career has been taken by Col. Enoch H. Crowder, whose enviable army rec ord is one to stimulate emulation. Gen. George W. Davis, judge advocate general of the army, was retired on account of having reached the age limit, and to the vacancy thus created Colonel Crowder has succeeded in the ordinary course of promotion, as he was the senior colonel in the judge advocate division. Colonel Crowder is a native of.Mis souri, where he was born April 11, 1859. the son of John Herbert and Mary (Weller* Crowder. He graduat ed from the Military academy in 1SS1, and in 1SS6 he received the degree of LL. B. from the University of Mis souri. Colonel Crowder served in the Philippine islands in 1S9S-1901. Dur ing the war between Japan and Russia he became conspicuous as an observer of the field maneuvers, being with the Japanese army irom April, 1904. until April, 1905. In Cuba. 1906-’07, he acted as financial advisor of the Cuban government, his services being greatly valued. Warrior that he is, however, there is one conquest which the colonel has never made. Xo womanly heart has yet capitulated to his superior tac tics. a willing prisoner; at least he is not married. A Naval Event The kaiser's punctilious regard for the right thing in the right place Is demonstrated in the following anec dote that comes from Berlin: One afternoon he came to the crown prince, arrayed in the sumptuous uni form of an admiral, and said: “I’d like you to come out with me." The crown prince, remarking with surprise his father's superb naval dress, asked: “But where are you going?" “To the aquarium," was the reply. Beyond the Limit,. Indignant Customer—I came in here yesterday and asked for a can of pot ted ham. Grocer (soothingly)—i gave you the best brand on the market. But now, j you know, the manufacturers them selves do not pretend there is any ham in it. Indignant Customer—1 didn’t expect any ham, but the label says. “Potted meat, ham flavor,” and they've even left out the flavor.—Woman’* Com panion. SUFFERED FOR YEARS.
