^ PROGRESS ON CILEBRA Cl'T. Col. D. D. Gaillard Talks of Work.? to Finish His Part. Washington, May 20.?Col. D. D. Gaillard of South Carolina, engineer in charge of the Culebra district of j the Panama canal, where % slides j > have been causing delay, arrived in Washington yesterday. "The Cucaracha slide," said Col. Gaillard, "is what is technically known as a true slide. The others were caused by the crushing of underlying material of poorer strata by the; * TTClOrVlt Thf* ! immense supermtumu^ui, ( Cucaracha side is nearly 50 acres in | > extent, and since January 1, 1913, j has involved a moving mass of ma- I jterial aggregating nearly 3,000,000 | cubic yards. The break in the east j v*oni- rmnnsifp Cnlebra. involved about! ? _ , 2,000,000 cubic yards. These slides destroyed every track in the bottom k V.f '\v them. It is hoped that Cura- I J racha slide will be entirely removed j by January, 1914. In the Culebra cut on May 1, there yet remained to ; be excavated 6,500,000 cubic yards of material, including slides, out of a total estimated excavation of nearly j 100,000,000 cubic yards. j ? Col. Gaillard said that over 93 perr cent of all excavation has been taken out of the central division, and that it seems probable that Culebra cut! will be completed sooner than some other part of the canai, lr snues uu i not interfere. Recent reports on the progress of the work in the Culebra cut shows that the reduction in unit: cosi of work over the estimate in y 1908 will be sufficient to absorb, without extra cost over 21,000,000 cubic yards of materials added by slides, and still leave a balance of several i million dollars. Commenting on the sanitary conditions existing in the canal zone he said that health conditions were ex- i cellent. Thorp ic an abundant supply of labor and we ar-e having no incbn- | venience in that direction," said the | colonel. "Over 45,000 men are now j engaged in the work of digging the canal, which is much the largest force that has been employed since the undertaking was begun." ?

Richardson, instituted by Deputy Wharton of the j State insurance .pommission-er's office, was dismissed after a preliminary j hearing which lasted from 10.20! o'clock this morning until 6 this aft- [ ernoon. The preliminary was held before Magistrate William M. Smoak, who, after hearing the circumstantial evidence on which *he charge was Jbaseti, released Capt.

V - -V ; Charge of 3Iurder. Chester, May 18.?The jury of in-"1 quest over the remains of Anna Huey, . the negro infant that was Killed &v its father, Jam^s Huey, on Mr. R..C. Guy's plantation Saturday evening, May 10, brought in a verdict Friday that the deceased came to her death from the effects of a pistol wound in the head fired by her father, James Huey, on the evening of May 10. Mr. W. 0. Guy was foreman of the jury. The ewitnerses were examined. Sue Huey, the child's mother, and William Harper. The latter testified that the woman came to his house and told his family that she had had a quar- |j rel with her husband and he had i fired at her. Th^ woman, however,j in her testimony denied that there had I been any such quarrel or cause for a quarrel. il u snoum aeveiop inai nuty was firing merely to frighten his wife, as lie asserts, the charge of criminal carelessness will be brought against him, but if it can be proven that he was firing at his wife with deadly intent and his bullet went wild and killed the child instead, he will have to face the charge of murder.
