Sunimarlzed ln a phrase, "Satisfactory

by Colonel George XV, Gocthals/ chalr?

former.
Wlth the work of excavatlon and ot

all polnts along the Hne; wlth health
conditions better than ovor beforo;
wlth a contrallzatlon and consequent
economy ln certain parts of the work,
and wlth a maxlmum of laborers since
tlie United States began to dlg the

decldedly pleaslng to Secretary Dlck?

ering respectlvely 47, 7.3, 1.6 and 1.7

the removal of moro than 1,000,000
cublc yards of material.
"Thc floods serlously Interfcred with
tlie progress of thc work," says Col?

to that of tlie central division and tho
Culebra Cut, "and thc one of December
20 overllowed tho. dike sepnrnttng tho
cut from tho Chagres Illver, cuttlng a
channel through it about 200 feet long
and twenty-one feet deep."
Morn than 36,600,003 cllblc yards ot
material woro removed from all parts
of tlio canal during tho year, of whlch
almost 15,000,000 were from the Cule?
bra Cut and almost lu,000,000 from the
Chagres section. About P..",000,300
cublc yards romnin to bo removed from
tho Culebra Cut before thls section ot
tho canal is completed,
Reports from various polnts along the
llno show that the cost of excavatlon
vnrled from 21 cents per cublc yard
at one placeto as hlgh as $2.51 at an?
other. There Is no such dlvergonce of
prlce ln the cost por cublc yard of con?
crete work, the lowest average belng
Jii.Ofl and tho highest $$.60. More than
700,000 cublc yards of concrete were
lald during tho year.
Thoro was a steady increaso from tho
beglnniiig of the past tlscal year In tho
number of employes on tho Canal Zone
untll on Marcli .IO last they reached n
maxlmum of 3S,C7fi, the largest forco on

Tho daily average of slck was twenty

UNABLE TO GET REDRESS
Tells of VVrongs Which Forbid
Him to Remain With Univer?
slty of Pcmi.ylvania.
Philadelphla, Nov. 20.?ProfOSBOt
Herman v. Hllprecht, famoua ln tho
world of scholarship becatlSO of the
llorco and bitterlv personal conlrover
sles whlch his Babylonian discovcrles
aroused, has roslgne.l his position ln
the faculty of tlie Universlty of Penn?
sylvanla. Ills reslgnation has been
ln the hands of th" universlty nlitnor
Itles sinco August 26, but no announce?
ment has bep'n made of what action,
if any. the authorltles have taken upon
hls withdrawal.
It now develops th.t there are as
toundlng reasons advanced by Profes?
sor Hllprecht for sending in hls res?
ignation. No difterenccs of academlc
poilcy, no renewals of tho former as
perslons upon Proftessor Ililprecht's
lntellectual lntegrlty, llavo caused tnis
latost rupture. Action so pelty and
so dlsgustlng to b scholar as to be al.
most beyond belief Is alleged as tlie
grounds for hls retfgnation. While
Dr. Hllprecht wns ln Germany last
summer ho was Inforincd by seholars
ln whoso word he had every falth that
some one had hot-n tamporlng with his
tablets from the Babylonian excava
tions In the museum of archacology
of lhe universltv. Persons who had
visited tho museum after hls departur.
for Kuropo told him that changes had
boen made on the f.ires of the tablets
and they wamed'hlm that he had bet?
ter hurry back and look after hls In?
terests.
He scarcely belleved that such an
outrago upon hla spe.linens could ba
committed ln an institution of learn
iiig. and when ho returned to this cit.v
he hastened to th<- board of managers
of tho museum nnd told them of the
reports that had been carrled to hlm
in Kurope. He preferred to .stay away
from thc museum untll wltnesses ap?
polnted by the managers should lie
ablo to accompany hlm.
Together wlth sur-h a committee he
vlslted the museum and found tiiat
some of hls most valuable tablets.
upon which lie had based some of hls
most .weighty contributlons to the
scholarship of tho subject of Babylo?
nian cxcavatlon. were mlsslng. Ile
found that _ome of thc tablets whlch
remalned hnd be?*n tampered with anc
defaced. llo found that locks ot thc
door to hls private ofllce had beon
removed und others put ln tholi
places; that hls records had been tam.
pered with and other Insult.s commit?
ted against him which made ll ab
sol n tel y Imposslble for hlm to remain
ln tho universlty wlthout pome sort
of an Investigation being made hy
tlio manager and without having tlie
wrongs in some manner rlghted.
T'pon flnding that in hla absence
thcsc things had been done, he sent in
his resiKiiation. This latest quarrel
opens up once more the entire Hll?
precht oontroveisy. whlch pcrlodlcally
has rent the peace of the universlty
ever since 190f,, when thc bltter and
acrlmonlous dlscusslon coneernlng the
famous tablets from the library at
Niypur in Babylonla raged from one
end of tho country to, the other ln
learnoA s>*leties. and when the mooted
ffuestlons were reported to the lnstl?
tutlons "f learning thc world over.
Dr. Hllprecht refused to-day to dis?
cuss the resignation or what caused it,
but It is kni'ivn tliat. he had prlnted
a pamphlet settlng forth exhaustively
hls reasons for withdrawing from the
universlty. It is thought that he pre?
pared thls pamphlet in order to dlstri
butc it to tlie learned socletles and tiie
unlversltles of the world in the event
of hls reslgnation being accepted, and
In order to defend his reputatlon from
whtttever attneks mlght be. made upon
it in vlew of summary action.
In this pamphlet Dr. Hllprecht re
latc% thc whole story of the destruo
tion of hls speciinens, of tho breaklng
open of his private offlco at tho mu?
seum. of the placlng of new locks upon
the doors. and of tho tampering wlth
hls records. Ile charges no one wlth
theft.
