Mr. Garrison's announcement follows : "The Panama canal will be open j for commerce to vessels not needing f more than thirty feet ef water on and after August 15, 1914. "The official opening of the canal, as heretofore announced, will be in the month of March, 1915.

Goe- ' thals will inaugurate the commercial ' service by sending a government boat 5 through the canal. There will be no 1 ceremonies incident to the occasion, 1 but American newspapers who may 1 desire to have representatives pres- ( ent may do so. The others who will 1 be present on the boat will be deter- 1 mined between now and the time 1 mentioned." = t Sentenced to Death. j F \ s Columbia, July 26.?D. E. Colvin.

" < Lieut. Conners was for several years attached to the Bronx park station, and during that period his great- i est recreation was wandering about getting acquainted with the animals. Recently he was transferred to the west One Hundred Fifty-second street ; station, and during the long nights it has been his custom to tell delightful yarns abo^t the habits of the animals . in the zoological park. A week ago Lieut. Conners was interrupted in a hair raising recital by Detective '"Eddie" Galvin, one of the best humorists on the force, t "Lieutenant," said "Eddie" Galvin, ; "tell me, have you ever seen any of those interesting little creatures, the Australian phififits up at the Bronx 1 park?" 1 ^ "Phifv?what's that?" asked the puzzled police authority. ! ''Phififits?phififits," said "Eddie." impatiently." "You must have seen ( * them. They are a cross between a white mouse and a kangaroo, and are very, very rare." "Fiddlesticks and nonsense," the lieutenant jeered. "You talk like that ; fellow who draws funny pictures for ' the Sunday Herald. Those things you're talking about are seen by the 1 drinkers. Cut it out, 'Eddie,' you're ' a young man and have a bright future before you." "Eddie" lighted a stogie and stalked to the station house door. 1 "Lieutenant," he said, "I see that 1 your vaunted knowledge is bunk. I ( know the phumf, too, a cunning lit- 1 tie creature with a leathered body, flat feet like a monkey, and the head 1 of a chipmunk. It's up in the anthro- 1 poid house, and anybody who's been 1 there has seen it." Lieut. Conners went to work on : the "blotter" with a pained expression.

ROOSEVELT IN* LIBEL SUIT. Colonel Called Upon to Defend Himself in Court. Oyster Bay, X. Y., July 23.?The obligation to appear in court and defend himself against a $50,000 libel suit begun by William Barnes, Jr.. hairman of the republican State committee, was imposed on Ex-President Roosevelt tonight with the serving of the papers in the case. A copy of the complaint was handed to him L?v Jas. S. Ivins. of the law firm which is acting for Mr. Barnes. According to Mr. Ivins it rests with Col. Roosecelt whether the suit shall be tried before election, or delayed, perhaps, two years. Col. Roosevelt had learned that the lawyer was on his way. Without awaiting Mr. Ivins' explanation he held out his hand and greeted him cordially. "I'm very sorry." Mr. Ivins began, "to disturb you in a matter of this 1 kind." But Col. Roosevelt would listen to no explanation of regret. Col. Roosevelt declined to say what :ourse he would pursue i nthe case, preserving silence until he had consulted his lawyer. Earlier tonight he indicated that he was ready to meet the issue and was confident of proving in court his statements concerning Mr. Barnes. vvnen ine prupuseu suit was mention at that time the Colonel's face grew stern for an instant. Then he laughed. "Let Mr. Barnes go on," he said slowly, choosing his words with care. "I have never said anything that I f could not prove." Allegation of Complaint. New York, July 23.?The complaint, which-was served upon Col. Roosevelt tonight asks damages of $">0,000 on the ground that the statement issued by the former president last night contained references to Mr. Barnes that were "libelous, false and untrue." No specific statements of th"e Colonel are instanced in the complaint, the entire statement being reproduced with the allegation that the defendant published it "maliciously and with intent thereby to injure the plaintiff, and without cause and for the purpose of defaming and injuring the legitimate political influence and activity of the plaintiff in the performance of his duty of citizenship."

Hennessy, who has had J some experience in looking into offi-i cial corruption in New York, tells the Washington Star this story of a certain politician whose reputation was no better than his deserts: "He used to farm, you know. Well. I met an old farmer neighbor of his last month. " 'Si.' I said, "would you call him an honest man?' "Si scratched his whiskers, and smiled, but he made no answer. " 'Well, Si,' I went on 'Would you call him a liar then?' "'Si scratched his whiskers again, and then he said: B " Now. Mr. Hennessy, I dunno's ti I'd go so far as to call him a liar. ? but them as knew him hereabouts ^ do say that when he wanted his pigs to come to their feed, he had to git s; somebody else to call 'em."
