held no office in the knights of Midas, but
this was because he had learned by politi-
cal experience that it was much simpler to
lurk in the background and manipulate the
men he placed in power. 1t was on this
high principle that he built up the order of
the knights of Midas and directed its
course from the office of the general man
ager of the Transcontinental. There was
nothing incongruous to him in the annual
ball. which was the only public social mani
hesitation OF the organization. 1t was he
who directed that twenty members be
chosen from the membership list each year.

BONUS STORY BOGUS,
DR.. HERRAN BELIEVES
No Intimation of Alleged Demand
Received by Officials.

With the passing of the first alarm oc-
casioned by dispatches from Bogota
saying that the Colombian congress is
considering a measure demanding a
greatly increased bonus from the United
States In return for the transfer OF the
canal concession held by the Panama
Canal Company, friends of the Hay
Herran treaty are beginning to feel
doubt as TO the accuracy OF these re-
ports.
Information has been received from
Minister Beaupre since September /. and
it Is believed here il a senate commit
tee has reported a measure demanding
of the United States a bonus twice as
great as that named in the Hay -Herran
convention. information OF this would
have been sent to Secretary Hay and to
DR. Herran. Colombian charge.
Conclusions drawn by officials of the
State Department and by DR.. Herran are
that the press dispatches were based
upon rumors concerning the discussions
in the committee or in secret sessions
of the senate.
Dr. Herran says unhesitatingly he be-
lieves the report concerning increased
demands was grossly exaggerated.
