Notes.

The term was remarkable in the fact
that there appeared to be very little bust.
ness ouside of the blind pic cases. The
volume of litigation, both civil and GRIM
inal. for county Of this size is certainly
remarkably small. 1t is also remarkable
to see how foolish men will be to take
chances of selling booze in this county.
Even those who have apparently been
acquitted have paid all probable profits
OF the business to get clear,

ably clear of the legal profession, the
arena having been almost solely occu-
pied by States Attorney Brynjolfson OF
this county and States Attorney Sinkler
OF Walsh county. The latter has de.
tended all of the blind pig cases that
were defended. 1t is needless to say
that the gladiatorial combats of these
two brilliant young lawyers have been
very interesting to the juries and the
spectators. 1t might be of interest to
the jurymen who were Oh the Cavalier
county murder cases last spring to learn
that Mr.. Sinkler has reformed-as to
his habit of chewing gum, but that he
can still do great stunts on the one hind
leg OF his chair when trying cases.

WOMEN IMPORTED INTO ZONE
(By Associated Press.)

WASHINGTON, January 26.-That he
Leaf Road is an admission made to-day
by Theodore P. Shonts, chairman OF the
Isthmian Canal Commission, which may
have an important bearing on the canal
investigation. Mr.. Shonts was called by
the Senate Interoceanic Canal Commit
tee to-day to make general statement
OF all matters over which he exercises
control.
He says that he does not give any
time to the management of the road,
but that reports are sent to him, and
frequently officials of the road come to
Washington to consult him. He still
holds the title OF president
After getting into the record the fact
that Mr.. Shonts receives $4,000 a year
from the United States, the chairman
of the commission was allowed to pro-
coed. Mr.. Shonts. in interesting testi-
mony. admitted that the commission had
paid for the Importation of women into
the canal zone. the women being the
families OF laborers from Martinique,
and that there Is no way for the gov
eminent to recover its money.
Mr.. Shonts defended the course of the
present management In preparing for
work rather than making the dirt fly"
at once. Senator German said that the
general impression was gained at the
time Mr.. Shonts went to the isthmus
that he had criticised Chief Engineer
Wallace for dilatoriness. and that he
proposed to make 4 showing at once
Mr.. Shonts denied that he had made
such n statement at any time.
Senator German conducted an exami-
nation of the witness, which showed
that Mr.. Stevens had increased the pay
roll from 5000 to 1900 men in three
months without doing anything toward
digging the canal.

HAD TO MAKE CLAIM
OF BEING INDEPENDENT
by Assaciated Press.l

E CLEVELAND. OHIO, January 2s.-The
taking of dispositions in the Standard OIL
hearing was finished here to-day insofar
as Acknowledgement Hadley, of Missouri,
was able to proceed at present.
Four witnesses were examined during
the day. The ryinclpal evidence was given
by B. w. Browne, now president and
treasurer of the Great Western Oil Com
pany, of Cleveland, but for eighteen years
connected with the old oil firm of
Scofeld, Shurmer and Teagle, which sold
out to the Republic OIL Company.
Browne said general Instructions had
been ISSUED to make the claim that the
Republic Company was an independent
concern and had nosconnectlon with the
Standard OIL Company. The Republic
Company, he said, went after the same
business that was controlled by the firm
of Scofield. Shurmer and Teagle, which
business 1t was Impossible for the Stand
ard OIL Company to get because of the
prejudice against 1t. The firm of Scoheld.
Shurmer and Teagle was for years able
to sell fits oils In competition with the
Standard Company. Notwithstanding that
the STANDARD Company sold at lower
prices. This was because of the fact that
many dealers would not buy of the
Standard Company at any price as they
considered 1t monopoly and used unfair
methods In It's business.
