WILL WASTE NO TIME
CANAL COMMISSION TO WORK WITH
 COATS OFF, SAYS SHONTS.
President of Body Defines Keynote of
 the Policy to be Pursued Thomas Brown --Is Private Secretary.

| Chicago, April 7.-"Direct business
 methods. publicity and absolutely no politics-this is the keynote of the
 policy of the Panama Canal Commis-
 sion, to which President Roosevelt has
 seen fit to appoint me president" This Is the declaration of P. Shonts,
 President Roosevelt's $10O.000 man who
 arrived in Chicago from New York to-
 day on his first visit here since his
 appointment. MT. Shonts announced the appointment of Thomas Brown as
 his private secretary on the Canal Com
 mission. MT. Brown has been pri-
 vate secretary to Paul Morton, presi-
 dent of the Atchison. Topeka and Kan sas Railroad for several years. MT. Shonts also reiterated that he had de- cided not to resign his position as president of the Toledo. St. Louis and Western Railroad. but will direct its affairs from whatever point he makes his headquarters.
 '"The people of the United States are
 the stockholders of this Panama canal. the most gigantic undertaking they
 have ever been interested in,' said MT.
 Shonts, and for the next four years they have selected President Roose- welt to vote their stock for them. Therefore our policy will be to work precisely as we have been working in building ana operating great lines. There will be monthly reports of the progress, amount of funds ex- pended and the outlook for the work, just as the railroads report to their stockholders. These reports will be
 filed regularly in Washington so that every Congressman, every official of
 the government and the public will be fully, reliably and frequently informed
 as to what Is being done with their
 funds In Panama.
 we are all pitching in with our coats off and there will be no time lost now or in the future. We have un-
 dertaken the task for the American people, we recognize the great respon- sibility resting on us and we are giong out to make good in way that will please not only President Roosevelt and justify his confidence in us, but
 will also bring us the approval of all the people of the nation, the stock holders in the canal enterprise.

The aggressive campaign waged by the Forbes Campaign Club will end to- night with a rousing rally at the Au- ditorium.
 No tickets will be necessary for ad- mission to the Auditorium. It will be a Democratic rally at which every re- spectacle white citizen of Montgomery will be cordially welcomed, and no man will be more welcomed than any other man. It Is a meeting for the white men of the city and the ladies of Montgomery and there will be no tick ct takers at the door to- ascertain if a man has the proper credentials for admission.

that there was no longer any reason for him to do so, as the financing or the company had been undertaken by Blair & Co. and Landeburg, Thalman & Go. of New York City, a great bank ing firm of international reputation. "Plans have been made by Blair 6 Co. and Ladenburg, Thalman Co.," he said. "to form a syndicate to provide the new holding company with $25,- 100000 cash. Blair & Company have been given absolute proof that the control ot the Tennessee Coal and'Iron Company, which some weeks ago was in doubt, is now held by MT. Hoadley and his associates. The capitalization of the new company will be about $125, ,000,0 which certainly cannot be considered excessive. as 1t covers merely the cost of the plants included. allowing only an extremely moderate estimate for the iron ore and coal lands together with the $25,000,000 cash The above statement will be verified by Blair & Co. and Ladenburg. Thalman & Co.,, or by MT. Hoadley. who Is now in New York"
 It is well known that Mir. Hoadley has long been interested in Alabama coal and iron properties and is an en- thusiastic believer in the manufacture ing possibilities of the South. A mill lionaire inventor and organizer of the American Locomotive Works and the International Power Company, of which he is President. he has long ln- sisted that with the coal, iron and limestone coming out of the same range of mountains in Alabama, pig iron can be mar -factuFed there and sold for $1 and $S per ton al good profit and steel rails at SIP and $f4. He is prominent among those who foresee in Birmingham a second Pitts burg with the advantage Of the saving of transportation charges on the raw material and a water route to the sea- board.
 As President of the international Power Company, Mir. Hoadley has long cherished the ambition to become the controlling factor in the production of steel rails and believes they can be produced in Alabama much cheaper than anywhere else in the world. While not using steel rails in their business the International Power Company uses great quantities of steel and iron di- rectly and indirectly. As stated, i owns the Alabama Consolidated Iror and Steel Company, and Mr. Hoadle, and his associates claim to lcontro Tennesse Coal and Iron, while the In ternational Power Company consumes large quantities of it's own product il the Rhode Island Locomotive sWork | and the works of the American Loco motive Company, in which 1t is sait to be the largest individual holder o both common and preferred stock. I also owns the American Ordnance Com pany of Bridgeport, Conn.,, which man ufactures guns for the Navy Depart ment, the Diesel engine patents ant the Hoadley- Knight patents for the in ternal combustion locomotives.

 In answer to questions, after leav- Ing the jury room, Mir Baker declared he had told the truth and that from the action of the jurors 1t was appa- rent to him that they had already de- cided on what action would be taken against the packers. It was also per- sistently rumored about the Federal offices where the jury Is sitting, that preparations are being made to return indictments within a short time. but whether the indictments will charge violation of the antitrust laws, per jury or interference with witnesses could not be ascertained.

LITTLE STEEL TRUST
HOADLEY'S REPRESENTATIVE ON
 PROPOSED MERGER.
Big Banking Houses Will Provide $25,- 100000 Capital for Consolidation of Alabama and Tennessee
 Properties.
Advertiser Bureau,
 Colorado Building,

Washington, April z.
 With the preferred stock of the United States Steel Corporation selling at the highest figures since the organi- zation of that concern and other iron and steel stock rising in sympathy herewith, the attention of Southerners in this city has naturally been directed towards the proposed consolidation of the Alabama and Tennessee coal and iton properties into what may be term cd little steel trust
 What will probably interest Wall Street more than anything else in con- nection with the consolidation is the announcement made here today by an authorized representative of MT. Hoad- ley, of New York, that John H. Hoad- ley, of International Power fame, is the leading spirit in the organization of the new company. Rumors con cerning his connection with the little steel trust" have been current for some time, but have heretofore been consis- tently denied. According to MT. Hoadley's r1presentative, however, there shouid be no longer any doubt to his connection with the merger.
 .0The International Power Company, of wuich he is president" he said, to- day referring to Mir. Hoadley, owns tbe control of the Alabama Consoli- dated Iron and Coal Company which. with, the Tennessee Coal and Iron Com aony the Sloss Sheffield Steel and Iron t%on9Iany, and the Republic Iron and s.teei Company. will be included in the isoreer to consolidate the great steel .noyn yanies of Alabama.
 Continuing, he stated that Mir. .Hoad- ,ej had remained in the background cdtil the arrangements had been com pieted for financing the company, but

removal of Mfr. Powell. however.
 Secretary Taft referred his caller to acting Secretary Adee. who endegvorsd to show the Minister that Mr. Powell acted only within the lines of his duty in reporting to the State Department any conditions which he feared might lead to trouble. Moreover. 1t appeared that there really had been ground for apprehension growing out of the pro posed deportation of the Syrians. The impression that Mir. Powell had been unduly active in the interests of the Syrians and incidentally had contfibu- ted to the agitation against the Hay tien Government was shown to be ab- solutely erroneous. and MT. Poweifs own reports made 1t clear that he ac- tually had been doing his utmost to conserve the peace and to aid the Hay tien Government in its effort in the same direction. A misapprehension had existed on this point so that Min ister Powelrs status Is likely to Dc in- proved as the outcome of Mir. Leger's visit to the State Department.
 A mail report from MT. Powell was received at the State Department to- day. dated Port au Prince, March 2s. the day before the last day Of grace all lowed the Syrians in the original de- cree of expulsion. and before 1t was known that an extension would be granted. It appears thar out of 1,200 Syrians in Hayti 400 have left since Ian. |. The remainder represent nat uralized citizens of every European country except Germany and the dip- Iomatic representatives all have pro- tested successfully against the ap- plication of the decree to any Syrians thus naturaiized. The decree there- fore will apply to native syrtans not holding naturalization papers. There are about forty of these people natur- alized In the United States, who will be protected in their rights.
 MT. Powell further reports that he has secured a modification of the order which prevented the Syrian merchants from obtaining through the custom house American goods consigned to them so that such goods at least may be returned to the shippers.
