it would lay before the President IA
statment of the facts developed at
the recent hearings regarding the
acceptance OF fees on the part of the
Commissioners for acting as directors
of the Panama railroad, and it is
probable that Committee will proceed
to make the report at once. The
acceptance of such fees was in dir
ect violation; the committee states to
tho order of the President.
Indications now are that ii sea
level canal will be due. Engineers
have been watching with great in
teIest the work on the Simplon tunn-
el, the longest subterranean road in
the world and it is argued that ex-
perienc- in tho great excavation
will greatly aid in %tunneling the
Culebra mountain and letting the
Chares river out through the tunnel,
thus eliminating the flood problem
which has been the greatest, or in
fact the only obstacle in the way of IL
e level camel. The Simplon tunu
el is twelve miles long, the CuIebra
tunnel will need be only four miles
long and will probably not cost more
than the Bohio dam and locks would
cost.
Representatives Campbell who has
emerged from youthful obscurity to
be II of the most talked of me of
the day by his introduction of a re-
solution recommending the investiga-
ton and criminal prosecution of the
Standard Oil Company insists that
he has the evidence in hand to prove
all of the charges he has made
against the company to Commission
er OF Corporations Garfield. The
development of the situation in Kan
sas newspaper and magazine articles
OF late on the subject, give Mr..
Compbell's act a peculiar timeliness
and the House indicated it's feeling by
adopting the resolution regardless of
party lines. When the Government

powerful industrial and financial
institutions i'll the world, and the
may we'll be regarded as

THURSDAY, MARCH 2, 1905

There is "A strong feeling through
out the valley to the effect that the
coming summer will witness the
building into this region of a branch
line from Walcott station, on the u.
p. road. Outside of the confidence
expressed by the officers of the Penn
Wyoming Copper Company, there is
nothing upon which to predicate this
general belief of coming prosperity.
The Penn Wyoming Co, are making
every preparation to start smelter,
tramway and mine again at an early
date. The first loads of coke passed
through here on their way to En-
campment March LIST. The activity
of the company in this matter is III
usual, as it evidences a belief in the
early construction of the branch
mentioned above. %lnasmuch as it is
IA well known fact that the smelter
cannot he operated with any degree
Of profit, so long as the coke has 10

out, this early activity of the COM
pany is proof that there will be
something doing here this coming

recommendation most desired by the
President that the Canal Commits
sion be abolished was stricken out.
Secretary Taft has been most out
spoken in declaring that the Com
mission has been an obstruction
rather than an aid in the admins
tration of canal matters and the
House bill made provision for the
adjustment of the Commission but
the opposition in the Senate led by
Senator Allison who is a close friend
of Rear Admiral Walker the presid-
ent of the Commission, and Senior
German, resulted in the elimination
of the provision. The bill as it
passed the Senate states that Pres.
ident shall have authority to appoint
IA person or persons TO govern the
Canal zone and that the President
shall be given further authority to
direct such control but 1t is not like
ly that the House will accept this most
important amendment and the bill
will go to conference. Among the
reasons that have made the president
SO eager to have the Canal commiss

work done under the commission.

AMIGO is barber and lives at 2o3 Tenth

The police OF the West Forty-seventh

day that they had in custody George A..
Witzhoff the dentist who il sought by sew
era women who say they have been mar
ried to him.
Arthur Ruhl, youth who lives at 1872
Prospect avenue Brooklyn was walking
up Fifth avenue about noon. when he
espied man with a swarthy complexion
walking down the avenue. The Brooklyn
youth thought the swarthy man resembled
the picture of Witzhoff that has appeared
in the new pers Ruhl had been reading
about Sherlock Holmes, Old Seuth and
other famous fiction detectives until he
ina CIR ed that he possessed the sleuthing
abilities Of the collection.
Ruhl took a good look at the face Of the
man and then followe him to Sixth avenue
and Fifty-fourth street, VIII ere he called
upon Policeman O'Sullivan to arrest him.
O'Sullivan is an obliging cop, and he ma de
the arrest. The youth went along.
The sergeant at the station was just as
obiging az the COP.
Whats your name? Witzhoff?' he
asked.
MY name' It's Amelio Fiorilo. Why
am arrested?' the prisoner asked.
Amt you Witzhoff'' demanded the
sergeant
Il don't know the name you speak,
replied the prisoner. He added that he
was % years old, was born in Egypt and had
been emp loyed as a checker at the Hotel
Aston up to few days ago. He was com.
ing from the hotel when arrested. He said
he lived at 1876 West Twenty-sixth street.
The sergeant then woke up. He began
to think that mistake had been made.
He sent for Lawyer BENJAMIN Franklin.

say that they married Withhold The lawyer
and oneof his clients went to the station.
The woman said she was Dora Weston OF
2027 Third Avenue.
That's not Withhold" she. said. after
a glance at the prisoner. The sergeant
discharged Fiorillo with an apology. The
amateur detective tried to express his
regrets. but the Egyptian turned his back.
He told the woman, however, that he had
no hard feelings against her and he ex-
pressed the hope that she would catch
the right man.
