Foreseeing the day when the capacity of the Panama Canal will be crowded by comm rce of the nations, Secretary Good has taken steps to stave off the trafic jam by approving the erection of a $12,000,000 dum at Alhajuela, Canal Zone, to provide additional stor- age water. Recognition of the need for additional water has followed a conference here, at which Gov. Harry Burgess of the Canal Zone told Secretary Good that the an- nual water shortage was threatening the rapidly growing traffic over the waterway four months out of the year. ‘The Secretary approved a suggestion by the governor that $2,000,000 be asked of Congress in December to begin imme- diate construction of the dam. ‘The structure would be approximately 170 feet high, forming a reservoir cov- ering 22 square miles, and providing for storage of 22,000,000,000 cubic feet of water, besides aiding in the control of the Chagres River during floods in the rainy season, which are a menace to navigation. Preliminary Work Begun. Preliminary work on the. proposed structure has been carried on in recent years through a $300,000 appropriation, but the undertaking of the project has | vet to be sanctioned by Congress. It is estimated five years will be required t complete the work, and Gov. Burge: regards it as the most important con: structive feature in canal administra- tion and development. In his report for the first six months of 1929, he showed that 3,755 commer- clal vessels passed through the canal carrying 18,431,772 tons of cargo and paying $16,023,664 in tolls, compared with 3,658 commercial vessels, carrying 16,846,140 tons of cargo and paying $15,121,750 in tolls for the same period in 1028. which established the previous high record. This does not include United States, Colombian and Panama government vessels, which have free passage. Extends Time For Operation. Gov. Burgess has found it necessary to extend the time of operating the canal from 12 to 16 hours a day, which increases the capacity from 30,000,000 tons to about 40,000,008" tons a year. Under the 24-hour day operation, he estimates, a maximum capacity of 60, 000,000 tons a year would be available, while erection of another set of locks at each end of the canal at a cost of $90,- 000,000 would about double the capacity. ring eight months of the year, he told Secretary Good in urging that the i Alhapulea Dam be built, much excess water enters Gatun Lake which has to be spilled into the sea, while during the remaining months the inflow is inade- quate to meet the needs of ships, elec- tric power plants and municipalities and in addition, heavy losses are caused by evaporation. Gatun Lake's maxi- mum height of 87 feet, he said, with the continued increase in traffic, will not provide safe transit through Gaillard cut for heavy draft vessels. Plans Permanent Buildings. Gov. Burgess, who is to appear this week before the Budget Bureau, also has Secretary Good's approval for a recom- mendation that permanent buildings replace temporary structures bullt for | use” during the construction of the | canal. “These buildings.” he holds, | “cost more to maintain than they are worth, and most of them are unfit for occupancy.

She said she had been making purchases at a drug store. It was discovered that two men who had registered at the hotel under the names of John Russ and Alfred J. Stone of Providence, R. I, and had asked to be assigned .. room next to that oc- cupled by Rheinstein. apparently had fled the hotel. Accused by Police.
