Plies Engineer with Details Regard ing Work and Pries Into Every Corner. Panama. Squatting on s dec orated steam shovel inya heavy rain, President Roosevelt "Friday watched the giant engines digging tons of mud, and later saw dynamite' blasts tear into the walls of the Cule bra cut. The president's energy took him .In to every kind of corner, which the ac companying guards tried in vain to keep him out oL All the dynamite had been, locked up to prevent the chance that an anarchistic workman might heave a stick of the explosive under the wheels of the president's train, but these orders were peremptorily, countermanded by the executive, who wanted to see things In actual opera tion: "He 'saw them. At 8:30' o'clock the presidential train arrived at Pedro Miguel, where some steam shovels were at work. They were all decorated. The presi dent had his train stopped for the purpose of making a personal examin ation. At this point in the cut the peculiar soil conditions have resulted in more or less frequent landslides, and this fact was brought., to the. president's attention President Roosevelt descended from his train and climbed up on one of the steam shovels, taking a seat along-1 side Engineer Gray, whom he subject ed to a searching, fire of, questions re garding the work.' During his conver sation Engineer Gray took the oppor tunity, on behalf of himself and the other engineers,, to declare that unlike the .railroad engineers, they were not paid for overtime. The ' presideat promised to look into this matter. He stayed on the steam shovel about 20 minutes. By this time it was raining hard. President Roosevelt told Chief En gineer Stevens that he wanted to see all the works in connection! with ex cavation even to the temporary laying of tracks. With this in view he board ed a work train near Dedro Miguel and weat on to the next point where steam shovels were at work. Here there was no danger of landslides. The presidential train continued on the regular line toward Panama. The work of the second steam shovels was observed and the president made ,a detour to examine the site of the Ped ro Miguel lock. He shook hands, with all the Amer icans he met while walking over the ground. MOTHER AND CHILDREN PERISH -Four Burned to Death Despite Efforts of Husband and Father. , Coldwater, Mich. Mrs..

HUNTING COSTS THIRTEEN LIVES Record of Accidents in Wisconsin and Michigan Since Sent 1. Milwaukee.
