THE HAVANA GAS SCANDAL.
Charges Against Quesada and Ru-
hens to be Investigated.

Secretary Root has decided to investi-
gate the charges against Gonzala de
Queseda and Horatio Rubens. made by
the Havana Gas Company to the effect
that they had secured money from the
corporation for the use of alleged in
fluence to have the tax on crude petro-
leum reduced
statement has been prepared for Cen
eral Woods information, which shows ex-
actly what representations were made by
Rubens and Quessda to the War Depart
ment as to the tariff on crude oil. The
statement shows that 1t was claimed that
cheaper gas would result and includes a
letter from NJ Quesada in regard TO the

or money. More than one genius has
been spoiled by trying to play to the
gallery Unless one can work content
! edly. regardless of applause. he is not
| fit TO do good work, and all that ne
| docs will have some flaw in it. Some
authors, and some actors, refuse to
read criticisms, on the ground that they
will be unduly elated If the notices
are favorable and unduly depressed If
they are bad; and that the only way in
which they can do worthy work is to
keep their minds on that and not on
what people are saying. No person has
any vocation to be an artist unless he
could work with just as much enthu-
siasm on a desert island as in the mid
die of New York City; unless he would
engage in that work. If possible, wher-
ever he might happen to be.
The two things which are important
in any art are spontaneity and finish.
Both are Indispensable. The artist Of
today does not teach the beginner to
fuss and fret over an imperfect de-
sign, but to tear it up and begin over
again. instead of trying to correct a
bad impression. Thus spontaneity is
secured, and slipshod work eliminated,
since the work which the student is al
lowed to finish must be perfect from
the beginning. The difference between
the amateur and the professional work
man is that the amateur allows flaws
to pass unheeded, because he does not
know how to rorrect them: the profess
sional workman will be satisfied with
nothing less than perfection. Any be-
sinner in any art cannot afford not to
be thorough, for upon his thoroughness,
his ability TO handle his tools with ease
and Inconsistencies, depends his abil-
ity to express his thought without bun
Cling.
TIE amateur likes to talk about him
self and his achievements: the artist
likes to talk about his work. There is
another difference. And ali these things
are as true in other lines of work as in
painting or writing. The housekeeper
or the business man must proceed on
the same principles as the novelist.
When a woman is forever fussing over
her household work it is a sign that She
does not know her business. When a
business man makes a great parade of
being busy it is usually proof that he
is not doing very much. If he We're, he
would not have time 10 make fuss.
He would be occupied with his work.
not with himself, and he would not be
self-conscious.

(From the Chicago Record-IIerald)
The fact that the Chicago postoffice is the
distributing centre for forty-six States makes It
by far the most important postoffce in the
Cnion and the fact that in four years ii turned
over TO the Government a net revenue of nearly
sl5.OCO.O0O gives it strong claim upon the
department for the most modern and complete IA
cilities for expediting the mails that the Gov

Nothing more faithfully reflects the commercial
daring. the dauntless industrial energy, and the
civic courage that built up the Empire City OF
the West than the record OF the marvellous
growth OF the Chicago postofice.

MAY LEAVE PORTO RICO.
A Report That Governor Allen VIII
Resign His Office

Governor Allen. of Porto Rico, will, it
is claimed, hand his resignation TO the
President when he arrives in this city on
Monday. Governor Allen left San Juan
on the Mayfower on Monday and Is ex-
pected to arrive in New York on Sunday
night.
It was stated at the Navy Department
yesterday that Mr. Allen will resume his
old position as Assistant Secretary of the
Navy. the present incumbent, MIR. Hack
EFT. retiring. Mr. Allen will relinauish
the governorship voluntarily, as it was
understood that when he had held the
post for one year he was to return to the
Navy Department. The time is now up
and it is known that he comes to Wash
ington TO hand In his resignation despite
the request of the President that he re-
main in Porto Rico.
Secretary Long stated yesterday that
he expected Mr.. Allen back at his old
desk in the Navy Department, as it had
been arranged for him to return when he
had controlled the affairs of Porto Rico
for a year.
MFR. Aliens resignation will cause no
surprise to, the Administration, said he,
''as the agreement is perfectly under
stood"
Mr.. Allen is said to be slated for Score
tary Longs position, and it was reported
today that the latter has already asked
the President to tender the Secretaryship
to Mr. Allen. as he desires to leave the
Cabinet.
In connection with the resignation of
Governor Allen it was reported yesterday
morning that II. Clay Evans, Commits
sioner of Pensions Will be made Gov
ernor of Porto Rico.
1t is pointed out that the Office of Gov
ernor of that island is one of such dignity
that, if rendered. Mr. Evans could not
refuse. And again it is said by friends
of the Pension Commissioner that he is
tust the man for the place: that he pos
sesses the executive ability to make an
ideal Governor for Porto Rico.

these Is for the Canton-AkrOn Electric

Ohio Traction company's lines. The
stake-setting for the former of these
companies is being done by E. l..

Stakes for the Northern Traction

expenses and no company would like.
