PULLAR & NIVEN Quality Corner Hart Shaffner and Marx SEMI-ANNUAL SALE OF "js;uifi FINED §105 | IN COURT-TODAY Judge Tmposes Heavy Penalty on Drunken Joyrider John Sage, Jr., 22 years of age, was arraigned before Judge James T. Mes- kill in police court this morning on three counts, driving an automobile while intoxicated, taking an automo- bile without permission of its owner and operating a motor vehicle without a license. On the first count he was fined $5 and costs, on the second count Judge Meskill imposed a fine of $100 and costs and he suspended judgment on the third count. Lawyer ‘William F. Mangan, who appeared for the accused, pleaded for leniency. He declared that Sage and his brother are the sole support of his mother as the father does not live at home, but the court is determined to put an end to such exhibitions of lawl ness and would not even grant proba- tion to the prisoner. On Christmas night Sage with sev- eral friends was in an automobile owned by Bruno Bachmann of 81 Brook street. On South Main street the car broke down and the occupants with the exception of Sage who was said to have been too drunk to walk. left to return to Bachmann’s house for a lantern and tools. Left alone with the car, Sage proceeded to take a little joy ride of his own. He pro- ceeded along Maple street and onto Main street where he zigzagged along narrowly escaping running down sev- eral people. He then turned into West Main and abandoned the car at High street. Officers Meehan and At- water placed him under arrest. The officers testified that the car was not driven fast but was in low gear. Bachmann testified that he gave the accused no permission to take the car. Young Fighters Fined. William Wisk and William Sabloski were each fined for fighting. Sabloskt was fined $7 and costs and Wisk was fised $5 and costs, but the two verv black eyes that adorned his counten- ance more than made up for the dif- ference. The two young men got ii%o a family row Christmas day and were arrested by Officer Fred Wagner, both badly battered. Wisk testified that Sabloski challenged him, saying “my muscles are strong, I eat pork chops. Your muscles look like peanuts.” Crap Shooter King Caught. Theodore Macula of 11 Horace street, twelve years old, known as “king of the crap shooters,” was sent to the boys’ reform school at Meri- den. Last Monady Macula was in court -for a serious offense but was given one more chance. Upon leav- ing. court he stole a watch in Hart- ford. Then he stole a revolver vai- ued at $12 and also secured a quan- tity of padlocks.. When arrested the boy had ‘three dice in his pocket which, he told the police, he used “fer shootin’ crap.” Fasts and Fights.

SUBMITS REPORTS ON PANAMA CANAL Goethals Describes Final Goo- struction Work Prior to Opening _— Washington, Dec. 27.—A detailed account of the operation and main- tenance of the Panama canal during the first ten months and a half after its opening to commerce in August, 1914, is given in the annual report of Governor Goethals of the Canal Zone, made public last night. Final con- struction work just prior to the canal’s opening also is described in the re- port, which embraces the fiscal year ending June 30 last, prior to the earth slide which blocked the channel. Between August 15, 1914, and June 80, 1915, 530 vessels, representing a net Panama canal tonnage of 1,884,- 728, and cargo tonnage of 2,125,735, were passed through from Atlantic to Pacific, and 558 vessels, representing a Panama canal tonnage of 1,958,307, and a cargo tonnage of 2,844,057, from Pacific to Atlantic, making a total of 1,088 vessels with a net canal tonnagé of 3,843,035, and a cargo tonnage of 4,969,792. During this period three minor slides interrupted traffic, the channel being closed from | October 14 to 20 and October 31 to November 4, 1914, and March 4 to 10, 1915. Construction of Canal. Construction of the Canal proper. except for dredging excavation and construction of the east breakwater at Colon, virtually was completed prior to this fiscal year. In the old Culebra cut, renamed the Gaillard cut, there were removed, in the process of construction during the year, 1,960,617 cubic yards at an average cost of approximately 42 1-4 cents a vard. In maintaining the channel— including removal of earth deposited by slides—there were taken from Gaillard cut 4,710,566 cubic vards at a cost of 34 2-3 cents a yard and from the channel at the Atlantic entrance 1,283,301 cubic yards at a cost of 10 1-6 cents a yard. “Cucaracha slide,”.the report says, “‘was very active from July to October, ! $14,689,873 for Fortifications. Of the $394,3899,149 appropriated by congress to June 30, last, the report states that $14,689,873 has been spent on fortifications; $750,000 to cover three annual payments to the Repub- lic of Panama; $6,440,000 for the oper- ation of the civil government of the canal zone for the fiscal year 1916, $4,289,169 for the operation and main- tenance of the canal to the end of the fiscal year 1915, while stock on hand aggregates $2,225,000, leaving $365,- 999,116 appropriated for the actual construction of the canal and its ad- Juncts. Two million dollars of this was in- vested in colliers, and $6,663,067 was returned to the treasury department up to the close of the fiscal year 1915 as miscellaneousreceipts, leaving $357,- 436,048 as the net amount expended for the canal, including the amount available for work still in progress. A drydock, two coaling stations and ter- minal piers, not included in these fig- ures, are yet to be constructed. Health Conditions Good. Health conditions in the canal zone, the report says, were very good dur- ing the year. The total death rate from disease was reduced from 14.46 in 1914 to 11.77 in 1915. Victims of malaria, the principal cause of dis- ability, were reduced twenty per cent. in number and the death rate 32 per cent., in the year. The admission rate to hospitals from typhoid was reduced more than 76 per cent., from dysen- tery, fifty per cent., and the death rate from pneumonia was reduced more than 39 per cent. Labor conditions were excellent. More than 6,000 men were given trans- portation home because they could not be used.
