had gone beyond its powers in the
tummonlng of the petitioners and their
examination.
In hta opening- argument Judge
George Davis took the ground that
the petitioners in being called before
the court for examination were be
ing required to do more than the sta
tute Itself required. He stated that
the petition was exactly similar to a
bill in equity, where though it might
be signed by thirty, or even more, it
is sufficient for but one to have the
knowledge of the facts alleged.
The argument took up the entire
morning, being mainly of a technical
nature and each - side bringing forth
authorities In large number to support
the contentions which were advanced.

PANAMA
CANAL
Charles H. Clapp, formerly of the
Inter-Island Steam Navigation Co's
clerical force for many years, arrived
in the steamer Korea after a tour
abroad lasting eight months. He .re
turned to the Pacific coast by way of
the Isthmus of Panama and had a
good look at the canal operations.
Asked by a Star reporter how the pro
gress appeared to him Mr. Clapp said:
"They seem to be going ahead well.
The work is being pushed all along
the line from Colon to Panama. There
are 30,000 men -employed on the canal."
"Is It true the bottom Is falling out
at the Gatun aam?"
'Well, It is supposed there is a
subterranean lake at that point. When
the ground is exdavated there the
banks slide down, It is what is call
ed bull's liver soil. The condition
makes a serious problem, but I think
the engineers will find some remedy
for the difficulty."
Mr. Clapp is looking exceedingly well
having evidently added weight in his
absence. i
