LIEUT.. COL. HUMPHREYS ILL

THE CANAL COMMISSION
OF CHANGE CAUSES
NO SURPRISE AT CAPITOL.

The suggestion that the President will re-
move most of the members of the isthmian
canal commission and will concentrate the
authority for the construction of the canal
in the hands of Chief Engineer Wallace,
who, it is said, will be made a member of
the commission, has not created much sur
prise at the Capitol. headers in the
House of Representatives express the
belief that the President has full author
ity to proceed in just that way.
Many representatives and some sena-
tors consider that the plan for the con-
struction of great ieng ineering. work
under the authority Of q commission Of
seven members Is cumbersome and not
likely to give satisfactory results.
Chief Engineer Wallace impressed most
favorably members pf the joint committee
of senators and representatives who lately
visited the isthmus of Panama. They have
much confidence in him as Rn engineer, and
they very generally approyecthe suggestion
that the President has decided to concen-
trate in his hands tossa large extent the
power that has formerly been held by the
isthmian canal commission.
In the estimation of many, however, there
are certain great engineering problems
that will have to be solved In connection
with the building of the canal that should
be passed upon by commission of eminent
engineers They believe that the President
would be wise in availingt himself of the
services of the foremost civil engineers of
the country in connection with such work
as the building of the Bohio dam.
The same feeling exists in relation to
other difficult engineering problems involved
in the construction of the canal. But so
far as the mere construction work is con-
cerned the sentiment is very general that
such work can best be done under the guild
ing influence of single engineer, who will
have full authority to act in all emergen-
cies without delay. which it is said would
not be possible if the controlling influence
of the canal should devolve upon commits
sion of seven members.

NORTHERN SECURITIES CASE.
No Decision Handed Down by q. s.
Supreme Court.

There was large attendance in the
United States Supreme Court today in an
ucipation of the possible handing down
of tie courts opinion in the Northern
Securities decision, which was rendered two
weeks ago. Since that decision was given
an application has been made for a man.
date to carry it into effect, although the
courts opinion had not been read.
1t was thought, therefore. that the court
might possibly act upon the request for a
mandate today as well as deliver it's
opinion. To the disappointment of many
however, not word was said by the court
and the only decision rendered today was
IN the case of the contest between Okla
homa and Texas for the possession of
Greer county. According to the decision,
Texas obtains the title to the county with
some limitations
The court than adjourned until April g.
Another very important case will then
come up before the court for argu-
ment. The suit of the city of New York
for the collection of franchise tax against
the Rapid Transit railways. in which about
$21 100000 are involved, will be heard April
3 and other cases set for that day.

Cloak and Suit Opening.

A pretty scene was presented today in the
commodious storerooms of the Underselling
Cloakand Suit Company, 733 7th street north
west, the occasion being the spring opening
of the up-to-date establishment. The floral
decorations were picturesque and tasty, one
of the pieces "a large horseshoe - having
been presented to the company by an old
patron. In one of the show windows is dis
played a marvellous mechanical figure of a
female imported from Paris. The figure is
most lifelike in its motions, with heaving
breast and moving, coquettish eyes. The
three-story building is devoted to ladies'
ready-to-wear garments. imported and CO.

has a motto which it lives up to, and it is
this: "The best values for the least money"

CAPT. BURroN's ARREST.
Controversy to Be Investigated by q
Marine Court of Inquiry.

Col. Charles H. Lauchheimer, Maj. Charles
L. McCawley, Maj. A. S. McLemore and
Capt. H. L. Roosevelt of the Marine Corps
have been appointed court of inquiry to
meet at the Mills building today to inves-
tigate a controversy between Capt. Norman
G. Burton, assistant quartermaster, and
First Lieutenant Frank A. Ramsey. both
of the Marine Corps. 1t appears that while
these officers were stationed at Colon, sew
eral months ago, Lieutenant Ramsey, who
was acting chief of police, caused the ar
rest of Captain Burton on the charge that
the latter was carrying away a revolver
belonging to the isthmian canal commits
sion. Captain Burton complained to the
authorities in Washington that his arrest
was not justified by the circumstances.
