Government office is permitted to visit
Washington at the Governments ex-
pense In order that he may further such
candidacy. but such seems to be the
case according to certain facts ascer-
tanned by The Times this morning.
II appears that D. A. Robinson, depu-
t. marshal at Dallas, Texas, who is also
a prominent candidate for the Office OF
postmaster OF Dallas, is in Washington
visiting the high officials of the Post
Office Department and the resident
Texas Republicans. urging his appoint

II further appears that Robinson came
to Washington in charge of diminutive
eleven-year-old boy. who was sentenced
by a Dallas judge to a term in the
United States Reform School at Wash

gerous youth. his expenses TO and from

One man, and perhaps two, were killed
at the time the accident happened, and
three men were injured, while at an
early this morning the buildings in the
vicinity Of the foot of State Street were
reported to be settling. and the police
were alarming the occupants and driving
them TO the street for SAFETY. The en-
gineers in charge Of the work said that
the shifting Of quicksand might cause
the building TO cave in at any time.

1t is understood that the Hen. W. II

for the Northern district OF Texas, is
also in Washington, using all his in
fuence in obtaining the appointment of
his friend Robinson as postmaster at
Dallas. This would be all right were
it not for the alleged fact that the

DEMOCRATS SEEK PLACES

DEMOCRATS SEEK PLACES

The friends of ex-senator Pasco are
urging his appointment as a member Of
the Panama Canal Commission. Mr.
Pasco is member Of the old Isthmian
Canal Commission. Of which Rear Ad-
miraI Walker is the chairman. and his
experience would. it is argued. make
him especially we'll fitted to assist In
performing the duties Of the next body.
II is thought probable that the Presi-
dent may name three Democrats upon
the commission. Ex-senator Jones OF
Arkansas is thought to be reasonably
well assured of appointment. and another
Democrat prominently mentioned Is
Colonel Hester, OF New Orleans, who Is
a civil engineer Of distinction. 1t is
conceded that the Southwest or Gulf
States are entitled to enc member of the
commission. and Colonel Hester has been
strongly recommended. Ex-Governor
Sayers ofTexas is another candidate from
the same section, but it is said that Co
lionel Hester's chances are better than
those of Ex-Governor Sayers.
Awaits Colombian Ratification.
The commission will rot be named,
however, until after the Colombian
congress. which meets today in extra
session 10 consider the treaty, disposes
Of the matter. AS has been intimated
for several months there is certain "a
be a struggle between the friends and
opponents OF the treaty in. the Colon
bian congress before the treaty is acted
upon one way or the other.
The extra session continues for one
month before the regular session be
gins. and during that tine is a privi-
legged matter which must be considered
TO the exclusion OF all other questions
There is nothing to interfere with the
continuation Of the consideration OF the
matter In the regular session.

National Bank. Watson drew q check for
$500 on this deposit yesterday An err

cannot get them.
How the Accounts Stand.
The total amount paid into the assc-
citation by members is about 81 100. Com

son, jr. and his brother allege they
paid in $500 to start the association and
that the other members have no interest
in that amount. Money enough to make
up the amount of deposits is said to
have been loaned to members of the
association on GOOD security
