SHOUTS GETS
BIG SALARY.
Chairman of Canal Work Before
Senate Committee Has
Special Powers.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 27.-That he
draws So, 900 annually from the Clover
Leaf route as president was admitted
by Theodore Z. Shonts, chairman of
the lsthmian canal commission. His
statement may have an important
bearing on the canal investigation. Mr..
Shonts was called by the senate inter-
oceanic canal committee to make Il
general statement of all matters owe
which he exercises control. He was
asked to state his former employment.
He said that he had been president of
the Clover Leaf route. He says that
he does not give any time to the man
agement of the road. but that reports
are sent to him, and frequently officials
of the road come to Washington to
consult him.
After getting into the record the fact
that Mr.. Shonts receives $4,000 IA year
from the United States the chairman of
the commission was allowed to pro-
coed. 1t was stated by members of the
committee, however, that when they
take up the question of reviewing sal
aries Mr.. Shonts' case will be met. Mr..
Shonts, in interesting testimony, ad-
mitted that the commission had paid
for the importation of women into the
canal zone, the women being the fami-
lies of laberers from Martinique, and
that there is no way for the govern
ment to recover its money.
Mr.. Shonts said that after the bids
were scheduled and brought to him he
approved the transactions without sub
hitting them to the other members of
the commission. He said he was Civ
en- authority to do this by President
R%oosevelt's order. Senator German
asked if the executive committee had
daily sessions.
"There are only two members now
said Mr.. Shonts, Governor Magoon,
who is on the isthmus, and myself.
There has been no third member since
the resignation Of Mr.. Wallace"
Have you called the attention of the
president to the v~acancy?' asked Sen
ator German.
"Oh, | think he knows that Wallace
has resigned" was the response, and
it created merriment.
Il suppose you are embarrassed fire.
quently by having to act on these bust
ness matters alone?" asked Senator
German, and the members of the com
mittee and Mr.. Shonts again laughed.

81 Times TO New York.

1t is not an unusual thing for the
papers of DEBORAH to chronicle the
departure of Mr.. Ben Bear for New
York in quest of goods for his store,
for he goes there regularly every six
months for this purpose, where he
meets the manufacturers of clothing,
selects the cloths, the Innings, the
STYLES, and personally directs the
manufacture of his immense stock, a
task which while tedious and tiresome
never fails to yield large returns, for
he has the satisfaction of knowing
absolutely what he gets, and of buying
for cash as such figures that when the
goods are put on sale at his store they
are at prices so low that no one in
the country can undersell him, and
few equal.
But the trip this year has an
especial interest for himself and his
friends at home. Within few weeks
he will celebrate the thirtieth an
niversary of his business life in De-
corah, and he is preparing to make it
h memorable occasion. Just what he
has in mind will not be known until
he returns. That it will be something
worthy of the attention of all is a
fact evident from his past endeavors.
Our readers will impatiently await
its announcement.

came along and crashed into the sleigh
striking the rear end of it, All the
occupants were spilled out and the
horses ran away with the front bob.
John was thrown considerable
distance and was very ser iously hurt.
The rest were not hurt much but were
pretty well shaken up and badly
frightened. The train was an extra
and did not stop at the station we are
told. -Calmar Courier.
