PANAMA INQUIRY.
Record OF Disbursements DeIiv-
cred to the Committee.

WASHINGTON, Feb. S.-Mr. CoIne,
former secretary of the American CON-
mittee, appeared before the Panama
committee today and delivered to Chair
man Fellows a copy or record book ha
had kept of disbursements of the Amer
lean committee for the Panama Canal
company. He had lent the other books to
MIR. BOyard, the intermediary be-
tween the Panama Canal com,
pany and the Panama Railroad
company, and he had declined to
return them. Spot cash was paid on all
purchases of locomotives, merchandise
and other articles. The bills for them
are among the things in possession of
Mr.. BOyard. Mr.. Geary asked what
the terms ''petty cash" meant as used
in the book witness had submitted. Mr..
Thompson seemed to have drawn about
500 day for great many days for
petty cash." Witness replied that he
had used Mr.. Thompson'S name in the
books, as he was the principal man, and
the petty cash" referred to sundry
office and other expenses. Chairman
Fellows remarked that Mr.. Thompson
seemed to have been appointed to draw
salary and give an American flavor to
the enterprise. Mr.. Geary suggested
that he seemed to have done this regu-
larly. Mr.. Fellows suggested that Mr..
Thompson had said he was very willing
testify, but had telegraphed that his
physician forbade him to come: and Mr..
Fellows suggested visit to Indiana,
but the other members thought it
unnecessary, and it was decided to sub
pGna Mr.. BOyard, and call for all books
he. mad. In answer to question, Mr..
Colne said that Seligman II Co., were
the medium, and the only medium
through which payments were made i'll
America, and that their books would
show all payments made. 1t was de.
cided to summon representatives of the
Pacific Mail, and to ask them to furnish
statement of all payments received
from and made to the railroads.

ROBBING THE SHIPPERS,
A Quarter of a Million Bushels of
Wheat Stolen Every Year.


Wheat Stolen Every Year
Senator Sevatson's grain investigat-
ing committee held a session yesterday
morning and listened to Chief Inspector
Clausen's version of the manner in
which the farmerslgrain is stolen. He
estimated that losses by theft reached
the enormous amount OF 1000 bushels
per year.
I'VE have been greatly annoyed by
pilterlng OS wheat in Minneapolis" he
said. "There have been about 200 peo-
pie living in this city who made living
pilfering wheat. The sealing system
that has now been in operation about
two months has resulted in reducing
small losses about 60 per cent, and when
the system is in complete operation we
expect to see further reduction. The
shortages that most annoy us is the
large ones, running from 100 to 800
bushels. These are i'll some cases due
to dishonesty on the part of the elevator
agents, who sometimes OYerbill cars
when they find they are coming out
short. AS case in point he told of
car that was billed out at 900 bushels
and was found to contain only 600 bush
els when it reached Minneapolis. The
matter was investigated, and it was
found that in the condition of the car 1t
was impossible to put 600 bushels i'll the
car. The people interested were salts
fed that the agent had made miSrepre-
sensations, and the last l heard of the
case they were about to have him in
dicted. We are OH the right track at
Minneapolis. If we seal the cars and
keep them sealed, and compel all grain
men to do likewise, with proper police
protection the pilfering can be stopped.
The railroads should be compelled to
patrol the yards. The law should pro-
vide that no unauthorized persons shall
loiter around railroad yards or sweep
cars. Pilfering in Minneapolis has been
a growing evil for ten wears.

The Minnesota legislature is making

and resolution introduced designed to
regulate the circumference of a
