FOREIGNERS TO BE CHOSEN.
Composition of the Advisory Engineers
of the Canal Commission

II has been decided to appoint three for
eigEers as members of the advisory board
of consulting engineers of the isthmian
canal commission, one from Great Britain,
one from Germany and a third from
France. These governments have been
asked by the United States to designate an
engineer for membership of the board.
Theodore p. Shonts, the new head of the
canal commission, who is in New York city,
is quoted as saying:
+ Changes in the existing organization
will be made only as circumstances indi-
cate the necessity, and appointments will
move carefully in the matter of changes.
The administration offices of the commits
sion will be Washington, but the head
quarters will be moved to the isthmus.
Duplicate records will be on file at the
Washington office, that members of Con-
gIess, government officials and all interest
ed may have ready access to them. The
question of the level of the canal is one
that is yet in allegiance, so far as the pres
ent commission is concerned.
"One of the rare relations that is pre-
sented in the personnel of the comm! ssion
charged with such an important work is
that of Engineer Wallace and myself. Not
only have we been fast friends since we
were boys, but the famflies-father and
mother of each-were the closest friends.
Mr. Wallace's father was the founder and
which l was graduated
Mr.. Shonts returns to his home in Chi
cago today and expects to go to the 18TH

pect to spend as much time on the isthInus
as the duties of my position demand"

LOSS TO THE GOVERNMENT.
Effect of Supreme Courts Recent De-
cision in the Insular Case.

officers of the government have concluded
to ask rehearing of the Warner-Barnes
case decided by the Supreme Court Mon
day The application for the rehearing,
when prepared, will set forth the reasons
why the government believes that the de-
cision should be reversed and will state the
conditions that existed in the Philippines
when the President made the order fixing
rates of duty on goods imported into the
island. 1t is estimated at the War Depart
ment that the decision of the Supreme Court
will result in loss to the United States
government of about 81, ,oe0, 600 on duties
paid under the Presidents order, while the
insurrection was in progress.
1t is also stated that this will be prac-
tically a gift to the importers, because they
sold their goods at a rate which included
the duty they had to pay.

much pleased when he read the Associated
Press dispatch from Cincinnati today say
ing that the circuit court of appeals had
ordered stay of execution of sentence in
the case of his client.
"It indicates said Mr.. Dawley, that the
circuit court believes that there is legal
proposition involved in the case which is
worthy of its consideration, that the pc
tftion filed by us shows, al least, prima
facie evidence of error in the lower court.
Mrs. Chadwick will now remain here until
the is finally decided. There is a
strong possibility that bail may be obtained
for her in the meantime"

announcing the stay of execution was Wis
IDLY pleased She read the dispatch several
times and then exclaimed: THAT is good.
