REVELATIONS of some recent actions
on the part of the Panama Canal Com
mission in connection with the manage
ment of the Panama Railroad startled
the House committee on commerce yes
terday. Members of the committee,
which is investigating thes management
of the railroad, were dumfounded when
E. A. Drake, vice president and secretary
of the corporation, calmly informed them
that the Panama canal commissioners
we're stockholders in the road, and as
such received dividends on its stock and
we're. moreover, mombers of the road S
board of directors, and in that capacity
took fat fees for attending meetings OF the
directors. The board of directors, Dir.
Drake told the committee, met twice
month, and for attending these meetings
each director, including the canal CON-
missioners who served in that capacity,
received a fee of$25 Then there was an
executive committee which met twice
week, and the members of the canal
commission who served thereon received
fees of $40 for each meeting. Alto
gether, Mr.. Drake figured out the mem
bers of the canal commission in their
capacity of directors or members OF the
executive committee of the Panama
Railroad were entitled to fees running up
to about 81 900 year in addition to their
salaries of SIP, 900 a year from the canal
commission. Mr.. Drake explained in
answer to questions by astonished mem
bers of the investigating committee that
the canal commissioners had only taken
these fees after consultation with some
mysterious "power that rules. which
seems to have told the commissioners it
was "all right" 1t seems that graft
follows the flag.

called for the crowning OF Catherine, the
widow of Peter the Great.
The latter finally triumphed, but her
reign was brief one, for she died With
