NAV cut shonts, SALARY.

Washington, Special.-In consider
ing suggested legislation for the gov
erning of the canal zone the Senate
committee on inter-oceanic canals dis
cussed the question of salaEies of
canal commissioners and, incidentally
the nominations pending. 1t was
argued that the salary Of the chair
man was too high and several Sena-
tors favored reporting a resolution
fixing the compensation of various
canl officials at considerably less than
they are now receiving. In the event
that the salary of the chairman is de-
creased, it is expected that Theodore
2. Shonts, the present incumbent, will
resign. He now receives $4,000
annually.
The chief engineer, John F. Stew
ems, receives the same amount, but 1t
is the intention of the committee not
to disturb his compensation. Another
question that will be considered by
the committee before the resolution
is reported is the holding of dual pos
itions by canal officials. Governor
Maggoon, of the canal zone, is a
member of the canal commission, a
member of the executive committee
and minister to the republic of Pana-
The committee is said to be a
unit against one man holding so many
positions. 1t is said hat the resolu-
lions also will provide for the divorc-
ing of joint positions where the in
eumbents serve the canal commission
and the Panama Railroad

QUESTION THAT JARED HIN

With his ticket to Atlanta tucked
4away in his inside pocket, the man
from the South, in New York for a
brief stay, felt that he could afford TO
be critical.
. "I1l be glad to get back to Atlanta"
he said, "for several reasons in gen.
eral and one in particular. For the
next six months I expect to hear no
nan say, How long will it take?' Up
here that is the universal query. Just
keep your ears open and you will hear
it fifty times a day. If a man stops
to have his shoes shined he invariably
prefaces the job by asking the boy
how long it will take. In barber shops
many customers even go so far as to
eliminate the usual morning greeting.
They simply say, How long will it
take?' and when they leave their part

Things Unseen and Unheard.' His
address was regarded as very master
full, convincing and forcible, and was
admired and commended very high

ence was large and appreciative and
the exercises enjoyable. The result of
the years work is very gratifying to
the friends of the institution.

ESKIMO HAS NO MASTER

There are no chieftains in the Es-
kimo community. They all regard
themselves as free men, with an equal
right to hunt, fish, sleep and eat. Ev-
erybody shifts for himself. He is
absolutely and Internationally indie
pendent. His only ambition is to be
a good hunter and to rear o n who
will inherit his skill with lance and
harpoon. He has helped himself
against the elements for centuries and
the white man descending on his
shores, ostensibly to confer the bless
ings of civilization, has never been
able to improve his condition but only
to detract from the old time happiness
and advantages of the aboriginal Es-
kimo community.
; DR.. FridtjOf hansen, Captain Holm,
{ DIR. Salager and several other explor-
ers have pointed out that an approach
to civilization means to the Eskimo a
slow but certain process of deteriora-
ton. In almost every instance where
the experiment has been tried, such
as around the Godthaab settlements.

ing of probably 20 men, three of them
will probably die. The disturbance
was caused by an attack on a detail
of the State police by several hundred
foreigners, who became incensed at
the presence of the constables. They
threw stones at the policemen and
otherwise endangered their lives to
such an extent that they were forced
to fire on the crowd which had
swelled into thousands. The riot caus-
ed the greatest excitement in the many
mining villages of the southern coal
fields when it became known that
mine workers had been shot down. but
the affected territory is comparatively
quiet.
While it is believed that a score of
persons were injured during the day
only ten are accounted for. The three
who it is thought will die are: Louis
Wilson, r. Miserevich and Stanislaus
Watakesky.
Wilson vas shot while standing in
front of his home, a block from the
scene of the conflict. r. III. Gibson,
trooper, was struck on the head with
a rock and seriously hurt.
This affair is the result of attacks
upon non-union men made at various
times last week.
The troopers did not pursue the
crowd, but continued on their way to
the Sayre colliery, to which point they
had been ordered. From that place
