MERELY DRAW SALARY
Members of Canal Commission
Will Attend to Private
Business.

Washington March 25.-Two important
points have been developed in connection
with the work of the isthmiau canal com
mission. One is that the headquarters
OF the commission probably will be on
the Isthmus Of Panama instead Of at
Washington. although an office will prob
ably be maintained here. The other point
is that part OF the time OF at least five
OF the commissioners will be devoted 10
their private interests
Admiral Walker. the chairman OF the
commission. and General Davis the army
member OF the body. viii devote their
entire time 70 the canal work
Legislation now pending before con-
grCSS provides for the apnointnent of =
Panama canal. II it should be
into law - Is quite probable that the
president may designate General DaN,s
as the governor of the canal strip.

being Interpreted, the Indians listened IN
solemn silence As they emerged from
the executive offices their faces beamed
with smiles.
The callers. who were presented to the
president by Representative Burke Of
south Dakota included several chiefs
among them American Horse Young
Man Afraid and Red Hawk
They informed the president that they
owned 10000 ponies and the same NUM-
Der of cattle. The president told them
they ought 10 dispose of az least half OF
their ponies and Increase their holdings
or cattle 10 100000. He frankly told them
that Il they would stop horse racing and
gambling an devote their energies to
cattle raisil.s- and agriculture they soon
might become valuable citizens The
policy OF the government. he said, was To
