Methods Criticised
BY Senator German

After the reading Of the Presidents
message on the Panama canal Senator
German made a mild attack on the
methods pursued by the Administration
IN the work thus far done in getting
the big ditch under way.
II have not, as yet" he said. found
one man who knew exactly what has
been accomplished in the construction
line down there. The character of the
canal has never been determined, and so
far as We know there has been no at
tempt 10 definitely state the ultimate
cost of carrying on the work 10 compile
ton.
Mr., German indicated that the work
should be completed. That nothing
should stand in the way Of having the
work done as eXpediuOuSly as possible,
but he said he did nCa think that the
conservative methods so universally fol-
lowed in al other Government work,
some OF which was apparently as i'm
portant as the canal, had been 10 wide
~ ignored.
Senator Hale answered the senior
Senator from Maryland and admitted
that the old methods Of funds for Gov
ernmental use was much better than
the custom now in vogue, and said:
The sooner Congress reyerts back tC
those methods the better il would be
for the Government. the people, and al
else concerned"
Mr.. Hale then took up the defense OF
the residents message and pointed out
that the work OF completing the canal
was the most urgent, and appealed fOI
cooperation with the residents views
on the subject.

CAUSES BIG SENSATION
Resolution Calls for Committee to In
quire Into White House
Election.

A Congressional investigation of the
incidents connected with the election OF
Mrs. Morris from the White House last
week Is demanded by Representative
Sheppard OF Texas.
Mr.. Sheppard announced this morning
that he would introduce today q resolu-
ton calling for the appointment Of a BIZ
partisan committee Of the House TO in
quire into the expulsion by force from
the White House Of an American wo-
man.
The announcement of Mr.. Sheppard s
intention of introducing such resolu-
ton caused d sensation IN legislative cir
cles. Mr. Sheppard expressed much in
dtgnation over the Morris incident, and
declared his firm belief that an inVesti-
cation ought to be had If for no Other
reason than to assure that such an Oc.
currence VIII not take place again.
DR. Minor Morris has prepared a
statement for the public on the case of
his wife. who was forcibiy elected from
the White House last Thursday The
statement viii be given out some time
this evening. No intimation OF just
what course the doctor will pursue was
given at his apartments at the New
Willard today but he said. 1t deals
with the cold hard facts"
1t is not believed that Dr. Morris Will
endeavor TO see the President, as has
been freely rumoTed. In fact. IL can be
stated that this Will not be the course
taken by DR.. Morris. He has had ts.e
advice OF several good friends. and will
not resort 70 anything sensational.
Mrs. Morris is still confined 10 he-
bed She was somewhat worse today.

But this was not the only perform
ance of the ShOnts commission for
which the chairman was severely crlti-
cised by Secretary Taft. The mystery
of the Markell commissary contract, OF
its being let to the Omaha man despite
the vigorous claim of another bidder
that it was not the lowest and best
proposal. and OF its being Cancelled
later. is somewhat illuminated by the
letter Of Secretary Taft, and d new and
edifying phase is made public. It ap-
pears that after the Markell contract
was cancelled the Panama Railroad
Company voted to Markell S1O.745.9T
compensation for his expenses and
services in getting ready TO bid on
the contract. This expenditure also
was incurred without any conference
with higher authorities, and the Sec
rotary of War strongly criticises it.
Concerning the bond issuing transac-
ton. Secretary Taft says in part:
In December. when the railroad was
not able 10 meet obligations because
the Canal Commission were unable to
pay the railroad what was due it, the
president and directors sold 62S 81, 900 40
per cent bonds, which had been IN the
