Western Delegates Leaving

GOVERNOR IS ACTIVE
Special Dispatch to The Call.

DENVER, Aug 17.-San Francisco's
fight for the next convention of the
Fraternal Order of Eagles looks like
winner, although Milwaukee's sup
porters continue to claim victory.
Getting into the fight late, the Cali
fornians have organized a great cam
paign and with their breezy Western
confidence are making the Milwaukee
and Chicago people feel shaky.
Governor George c. Pardee Of Cali
fornia and Mayor Eugene e. Schmitz
of San Francisco, both Eagles. have
bombarded the delegates with tele-
grams promising great things next
year If the convention goes to the
coast California has more than 800
votes that will go the way the steering
committee, of which Jerome Bassity is
chairman, decides is best for San Fran
cisco'S chances.
With the Californians 1t is every
thing for Frisco" and the office seek
ers are without their own delegations
to use as a leverage to land the plums
sought So much trading is being done,
votes for the next convention place
being exchanged for votes for presi-
Dental candidates, that predictions are
unreliable at best. Many of the Cali
fornta delegates in the parade to-day
were in tallyhos and brakes with Jap
anese sunshades and banners boosting
for San Francisco.
Jerome Bassity is confident of sue
cess. 1t Is possible the matter will be
decided tomorrow before the election
CT a president, which has been made a
special order for 10 o'clock.
While the Eagles were marching in
Denver to-day men in five wagons
pelted them with snowballs. AS the
day was unusually warm for Denver
the experience was especially unique
The Eagles were glad to catch the
snowbalIs and eat them.
Yesterday a carload of snow was
brought from Rollins Pass. the sum-
nit of the continental divide on the
Moffatt Road, and placed in cold stor-
age. This afternoon five express wag-
ons were loaded with 1t and started
along the line of march. Throughout
the parade snowballs whizzed through
the air in all directions At the re-
viewing stand there was battle royal
with snowballs.

WILL NOT HAVE
To STOP WORK
President Shonts of Canal
Commission Explains Con-
dition of the Treasury

WASHINGTON. Aug. H.-One of the
first important tasks awaiting Mr.. shonts,
when he assumes the presidency of the
Isthmian Canal Commission, is the
conservation OF the balance remaining of
the appropriation of 100000 so as to
guard against a stoppage of the work
of canal building Calling to his aid
several expert accountants, the exact
state Of the finances of the commission
was ascertained and 1t was found that
the work could be steadily prosecuted
until Congress at the next regular ses-
sion should have ample opportunity to
provide more funds. Therefore the bal
ance on hand was divided into monthly
allotments which have so far been closely
adhered to save in one case, where an
unexpected demand arose for additional
transportation facilities. Thus the com
mission has, It believes, avoided the
necessity of availing itself OF the priv
ilege granted by Congress Of issuing
bonds to meet expenditures.
The commission to-day issued the fol-
lowing statement on this point:
It was officially stated at the Isthnian
Canal Commission to-day that Of the appro-
struction of the canal, there was on April /
1905. the date on which the present commits
sIs sion took % tb hold an yalabs saasce to the
During the month OF April the expenditures
from this appropriation aggregated s475 600:
during May S5o3 .ooo during June $659 Oe0:
during July $710, ,O00 for wages. salaries ma,
terials. supplies and equipment
During July there was an unusual expendi-
ture for the purchase OF two ships at $3.50 600
each, not included in the estimated July ex-
penditures.
During the month of August I'D to ana
including the 16th $3.50 600 had been expend
ed. This left to the balance OF the appropria-
ton on August 49, s2,s16 713 in addition to
which each OF the two disbursing officers had
on hand $500, 900 on that date
1t will be seen from the foregoing that the
average expenditure per month"; leaving out of
%as IN the neiEhborhood Of 81 ssbo ooo swo SHIPS
that rate of expenditure the $2s16713 will
last until early in January, which is accord
ing to the schedule fixed by Mr. Shonts on
April /. when he became chairman Of the
commission.

SAYS OFF |C|AL
IS A PERJURER
Railroad Man Is Denounced
at Meeting of National
Commissioners Association

DEADWOOD, s. D., Aug 17-At the
convention to-day of the National Rail-
road Commissioners Association Stett
Burr, Commissioner from Florida, created
a sensation when he openly denounced
Walker D. Hines, former assistant gem
eral counsel and now first vice president
Of the Louisville and Nashville Railroad,
as liar and perJurer. He said Hines
made sworn statement OF the valuation
Of the property Of the Louisville and
Nashville Railroad to the Comptroller of
the State of Florida for the purpose of
taxation, for the year ending June 80,
1902
He says he later made another sworn
statement to the Commissioners Of Flor
ida on the value Of the property for the
same year for rate-making purposes and
which was much greater. Later he says
Hines made another sworn statement of
the value Of the property of the same
year, when applying for a temporary in
junction in the United States District
Court to enjoin the commission from en-
forcing reduction In passenger rates,
which was double the statement made to
the Commissioners or to the Comptroller.
Burr asked the National Railroad Com
missioners to not give any credit to
statements made by Hines before the
committees of Congress. Benjamin F.
Chadbourne, Railroad Commissioner of
Maine, made a heated reply to the
charges.
Discussions Of the questions of rail-
way taxation In various States aroused
the greatest interest thus far manifested.
Charles T. Staples of Minnesota present
ed report which showed that the valua-
ton per mile of railroads on which taxes
were levied varies in different States
from $94 In South Dakota to 1886 In Mas
sachusetts, and that there are over
half-dozen methods of arriving at a basis
of taxation in the various States.
Then the convention decided that uni
form taxation of railways in all States
was so important that the matter should
be handed over to the committee on rail-
road taxes for the ensuing year. with in
structions to report such a uniform plan
At the afternoon session the election of
officers resulled:
Dr. w. G. Smith. South Dakota, presi-
dent, unanimous choice Of the conven-
ton; Joseph Rice, Missouri, first vice
president; e. A. Mosley. Washington,
secretary, and M. w. Decker, Washing
ton. assistant secretary.
