WALKER MUST GO.
President Roosevelt Will Do What
Congress Left Undone.

Washington, March S-Radical chang
es are to be made in the personnel of
the Panama canal commission. Presi-
dent Roosevelt has let members of con-
gress know that he is not satisfied with
the work of the commission as it at
present is constituted. He had hoped
congress at the session which closed
last Saturday would enact legislation
under which he could reconstruct the
commission and place the work of
building the canal on more practicable
basis than now exists. Congress, how
ever did not take the initiative con-
tenting itself with extending the opera
ton of the SpOoner act until congress
should provide other legislation.
While noauthorftat statement con-
corning the presidents intentions is OBJ
tainable at the White House it IS
known to be his purpose to make Such
changes in the membership of the ca
nal commission as, in his Judgment
will facilitate work on the great water
way. His desire. it is understood. is TO
reduce the commission to three mem
bers, all of whom shall be practical en-
gineers of eminence-
Under the Spooner act one of these
engineers must be from the navy ana
one from the army. Admiral john q.
Walker now represents the navy and
General George w. Davis, the army on
the commission. It is said positively
that Admiral Walker will not continue
long as a member of the commission.
Ino Achievements Ol the OOhy
the direction of Admiral Walker have
not been satisfactory to the president.
As constituted now the commission IS
said to be unwieldly It is regarded as
containing too many elements which
have to be adjusted. one to another, be-
fore anything definite can be done. To
remedy this defect the president, it is
believed, will reduce the membership
of the body and place IN immediate
supervision Of the canal work men who
win work in consonance with the ideas
Of himself and Secretary Taft. In doing
this the president will exercise his dis
erection about appointing seven members
of the body as provided for under the
Spooner act 1t is very likely indeed
that eventually he will reduce the COM
mission to three members. simply by
not filing the places of those whose
designations shall have been accepted
The president is deeply interested in
the construction of the canal and pro-
poses to do everything possible to facll-
itate the work BY adopting such
plan as is here outlined. he hopes to get
together a homogeneous and harmon
ious working force-a force that will
achieve results.

STANDARD SPEAKS UP.
Hereafter No Oil in Kansas Testing
Below 80 Degrees to Be Bought.

independence, kan, March s.-The Prai-
RE Oil and Gas company, the Kansas
branch of the Standard Oil company, to-
day issued an order to the effect that
hereafter no Kansas oil testing below 80
degrees gravity will be bought by the
company
This is characterized as the heaviest
blow yet struck by the Prairie company
at the Kansas oil producers, as it means
this concern in Kansas outside of the bot
tom Independence field, NeodesEa, Tyro
and Chautauqua county. This will, it is
believed not affect the district where the
state oil refinery is to be located.
RE company, in explaining today's order,
said:
''Oil below 80 gravity is undesirable. 1t
has value for refining purposes and it
is impossible to find a marked for fuel.''

Paid 20 cents a mile to and from
California as mileage for attending

The house took up and discussed
this question in January, 1904. There
were many members who favored the
mileage steal, but they did not dare to
vote it. There was to be an election
in the fall and members did not wish
to go before their constituents with
government money to which they
were not entitled in their pockets.
Therefore 1877 members voted against
the mileage grab. and not one for it,

a little money than they do for the
