MIR. SHAN $ COACHMAN
EMPLOYMENT OF ALLEGED GRAVE
 DIGGER ExPLAINED.
Commissioncr Cooley Grows Faeetious
 While Making an Elaborate statcment Regarding the Circumstancee,

Washington. April 1.-The recent employment by the Government of an alleged grave digger as coachman to Secretary of the Treasury Shaw under Icertifcation from the Civil Service Commission. resulted in the issuance of a statement today by Commissioner Cooley. The statement defends the three names certified from which Sec retary Shaw could choose. It shows that the alleged grave digger was for many years coachman to the Superin- tendent of the Government Hospital for the Insane, and Mir. Cooley states there could be no criticism of his ability to perform the duty of ooachman.
 Mir. Cooley then proceeds to show that the fourth name on the eligible list was the one Secretary Shaw ap- parently wanted to reach. He comes to this conclusion because on March IT the Treasury Department requested the certification of the name on the tinguished driver and understood horses thoroughly. The name in ques- tion was Robert B. Shepard.
 Under the regulations" continues Mir Cooley. "the Commission was with out power to grant the request of the Secretary, but on its face 1t appeared so reasonable that form of executive order was prepared to be submitted to the President. making special ex- ception in the case. At this point in the proceedings Mir. Shepard made the mistake of calling ct the office of the Commission and exhibiting a letter from the Republican leader of the Twenty-third Assembly district of the county of New York eulogizing very highly MT. Shepards admirable work for the Republican ticket in the late election and assuring all whom 1t might concern that he was entitled to some recognition.
 The attention of the commission be- tigation of the facts was made before submitting the order to the President, which disclosed on Mr. Shepard's own sworn statement that there was noth- ing to indicate that he had driven a horse for several years 1t seems that in his younger and unregenerate days he was valet to John Whalen, a prom inent Democratic leader in New York city, and counsel to the corporation under the administration of Mayor Van Wyck. It appears. however, that he saw the error of his ways and en- tered the employment of Alfred Henry Lewis in the same capacity. the latter having rendered no inconsiderable ser- vice to the Republican Party in the last campaign. The doctrine imbibed there and the efforts he was led to put forth were of so distinguished a char acter as to call for the praise of the Republican district leader aforesaid !"
 MT. Cooley concludes as follows:
 Our action In this case was dictated solely by desire to guard the Secre- tary of the Treasury from possible physical injury at the hands of the ap- parently inexperienced driver who was being forced upon him by political in- fiuence and to assure his retention in the high office for which he is so ad- mirably qualified.

lTALYS BIG STRIKE
GOVERNMENT PREPARING FOR ALI.
 EMERGENCIES.
Although Complete Order Prevails as Yet, No Chances of Trouble Are to Re Taken by
 Authorities.

Rome, Italy, April f7-The strike of railroad men which began today was not as much of a success as expected. Some of the men refused to strike and published a \ manifesto saying they could not risk the bread of their fami- lies. With these men and a military escort on trains left Rome on each line. A car on each train was con- verted into prison for use If arrests were necessary during the journey.
 Notwithstanding the uncertainty of such travelling many Americans left this city for Naples, Florence and Pisa.
 The leaders of the movement are trying to bring about q general strike of all workmen. but they find little sympathy. If 1t occurs the Govern ment has decided to entrust the mili- tary authorities with the maintenance of order.
 The strike is in protest of the new bill presented by the Fortls cabinet because 1t provides for the dismissal of those who go on strike and does not contain an arbitration clause.
 The leaders of the railroad men have decided not to urge a general strike of all workmen unless the Government has recourse to oppressive measures or applies the clauses of the railroad bill providing for the punishment of rail- road strikers. The railroad men who refused to strike are fed and housed at the stations so as to prevent them from coming into contact with the strikers.
 Tonight the situation is less acute. The Government has been able to op- crate It's trains in addition to those or ganized early in the day. Complete order prevails everywhere.

.MORGANS RESOLUTION

 COMMITTEE.
The Aiabalmian Submits Long ArEu~ meat Regarding Right of Gov- ernment to Make Rail-
 road Rates.
Advertiser Bureau.
 Colorado Building.

WaSnfn&Ious ApIti 1f The Senate Committee on Interstate Commerce was in session several hours this afternoon considering the rules by which it should be guided in making the investigation of the subject of rate regulation under the terms of the Kean resolution adopted at the last session authorizing the committee to sit dur Ing the vacation. So deeply interested did the members of the committee be- come in discussing the question of pros cedure that they did not adjourn the executive session to begin the business for the regular hearing. The commit tee will meet again totmorrow morn-; ing.
 The proposal that the committees ap- point subcommittee to hear those who care to appear either for or against the proposition to turn over to the Government the power to fix raii- road rates was discussed at length. Senator Morgan submitted long arr gument which is understood to deny the constitutionaIity of the proposi- tion to place the rate making power in the hands of tho Government agency The brief on this subject was not read but will be made a part of the record of the committee.
 Senator Newlands spoke at length in favor of the resolution which he in trodueed last winter which provides for the incorporation of all railroad companies under a national law, with certain conditions, not only permitting but favoring the consolidation of rail- roads. The members of the committee present are Senators, Elkius, Chair- man; Carmack, Clapp CulI0m, nolIiver, Foraker. Kean and Newiands.

RHoDDA,s CONFESSION.
Tells How Certificates Were Granted
 Incompetent MiuerS

Hazleton. Pa. April 17.-John Rhod- da of Upper Lehigh, member of the miners examining board. who is charged with fraud in connection with granting of certificates of competency to mine workers was arrested today on warrant sworn out by District President Dettery of the United Mine Workers of America. Rhodda waived a hearing and entered bail in $500 for court.
 His arrest followed a confession he made to the mine workers that he and his colleagues on the examining board had issued certificates to hundreds of applicants without regard to their qualification and that they had receiv- ed various sums of money for issuing the papers.
 District President Dettery says there have been $50 accidenes 100 re- sulting fatally in the district during the last twelve months and officials of the Mine Workers Union declare that the promiscuous sale of certificates to incompetent miners is the principal cause of the accidents. No warrants have been issued for the other mem bers of the board.

 What was the theatrical situation iu 1900 and 1901 to get route?" asked Mir Untermeyer.

pointed at an early date board of con- sulting engineers, which board will assist us in this work. We desire to have on this board a representative from Germany, France and England, and with this end in view these nations will be urged to appoint one represen- tative each.
 The Government is in complete con- trol of all the stock of the Panama Company. It is absolutely essential for us to control the affairs of the railroad in the interest of the work of con- struction of the canal" ; Secretary Taft added: Tt is the in- tention of the Government to cause to be built a number of new steamships to add to those of the PanamA Steam ship Company so as to give a fve-day service"
 In regard to the canal, he said he believed between $50.000.000 and $75,- 000,o00 would have to be added to the old estimate.

Salvation Army Captain Talks of Dr.
 Gladdem,a IJtferaneen


 Birmingham, Ala, April 17.---Captain J. M. Berriman, head of the Salvation Army in the South, who is in Birniing- ham today, takes exception 10 the re- cent utterances of the Rev. Dr. Wasn- ington Gladden. about tainted money" When Dr. Gladden. says the Salva- ton Army should not accept money from saIoons," said Captain Berrilnan. he did us a great injustice. Nobody denies that the Salvation Army does a world of good, and want to say now that saloon men are among the chief contributors to our cause. Even though the money does come from that source we are able to do much good with it.
 MT. Jobu D. Rockefeller, whom pr. Gladden. so bitterly assails. Is also one of our chief contributors. He recently gave us $13.500 for our rescue home in Cleveland. and I think no one will deny that tl-e money has done much good"
