TOBACCO FOR CANAL MEN.
Commission Provides for Furnishing II NJ
Lower Price Than the Monopoly.


WASHINGTON, Nov. 2e.-The report of
the regular quarterly meeting OF the 18TH
mian Canal Commission, held on the Isthmus
during the recent visit of the members
of the commission there, has been sent TO
the commissions offices here.
Provision was made for the purchase of
tobacco by the employees Of the canal at a
low price at the Government commissaries
A penalty of suspension and possibly dis
charge for any employee who sold tobacco
purchased at b % Government rate was
also decided upon. This action grows
out of the refusal OF the commission to
permit its employees to pay within the Canal
Zone the high prices for tobacco demanded
blythe local dealers because of the monopoly
of the Panama Government.
The Government there, as in most Latin
American countries, sells the right to trade
in tobacco. Consequently the man who
secures the concession puts up the price.
This condition forced the commission TO
add tobacco to the list Of articles sold by
its own commissaries. The Panamans OBJ
iected, but the commission has not changed
it's decision. IT is now provided, however,
that an employee of the commission may
not buy more than one pound OF tobacco
at a time, and he must do this personally,
and also that he shall not sell IL again. This
is 10 protect the local dealers and their
trade with non-employees.
The commission approved an appro-
priation Of si3, 800 for repairs and additional
buildings for the San Tomas Hospital.
Approval was given to a contract drawn
with the Compagnie Generate Transit
lantique, a French steamship line, for
carrying laborers from foreign ports to the
Isthmus. The general counsel Of the
commission was directed TO ascerta in II
the commission could legally give money
for the construction of a building to be
used for fraternal organization meetings
and such Durposes.

LANTRY TO NEW FIREMEN
Foolish TO Pay for Appointments-why
He selected Some Far Down on the Last.

III ScIfCttu SOtUC NJ bUWu Uu VuG LNAV.
Fire Commissioner Lantry appointed
thirty-Rve new firemen yesterday, and
calling them into his office told them that
they would be throwing their money away
il they gave IL to any one for their appoint
ments.
Il have taken YOU names from the civil
service list, and you owe nothing TO any
one in or out OF this department" he said.
Il want You to leave drink alone, obey
Your officers and try to live up to the reputa-
ton of the New York fire fighters, which
is the best in the world.
Il want to say that it is my opinion that
the best material for firemen comes from
mel who find it hard to pass the mental re-
quirements of the civil service examination
through lack OF education. Such men az
teamsters, hodcarriers and other laborers
who are accustomed to being much out
of doors and rave their muscles hardened
by toll make the best firemen To be sure,
they may be lacking in the knowledge
that comes from a thorough education
IN the schools and couldn't tell whether
Venus is a planet or a star actress, but
they can fight fires and rescue ives in m
OF danger. The young man who has
graduated from school and gets a job as
bookkeeper, or clerk, or something else at
inside work would pass the civil service
Q Examination with a greater percentage
than the uneducated man that was adapted
by nature and habit for the hard life Of a
fireman.
Il have considered this matter in making
the appointments n my Investigations
led me to select some of the men low down
on the eligible list furnished me by the
civil Serv ice Commission"

Robert u. Collier Opposes increase In Inc
Rates on second Glass Matter.
WASHINGTON, Now 20-The Postal Com
mission to investigate second class mail
matter resumed its hearings to-day in the
room OF the Senate Committee on Post Of
fees and Post Roads. The hearing was a
continuation OF those held in New York
last October. at which many publishers APP
peared and much testimony was taken.
Senator Penross of Pennsylvania. chair
man Of the Senate committee. presided.
Robert j. Collier Of New York, the 6rst
witness. expressed his sympathy in the
efforts OF the Department TO remedy the
abuses which have grown up in the ad-
ministration Of second class matter, but
he disagreed with the proposition Of Mr..
Madden, the Third Assistant Postmaster
General, that the second class rate be
raised from one cen to four cents per
pound and that the present rules OF entry
be simplified. Mr.. Collier said that in the
view OF many publishers MIR. Madden went
too far in his language In references to pub
fishers, and he declared that Mr.. Madden
evidently viewed all publishers with the
Mr.. Collier did not believe that there
should be any increase in the second GLASS
rates and expressed the view that II that
should be done there would be consequences
that would not be OF advantage to the public
ut large. He saw no objection, however, to
a more careful scrutiny of the postal laws az
applied to this class OF mail matter, n
thought that Congress might strengthen the
existing statutes in order that the abuses
that have been complained OF should be
eTadicated.
In addition to the members Of che COM
mission Postmaster-G enera Cortelyou was
present at the hearing.

STUDENT FRAZER DIES.
Accidentally shot by a Fellow student
AT the University Of Michigan


a the University Of Michigan.
ANN ARBoR. Mich. Nov. 2s.-John Frazer,
the University of Michigan student from
GeneseO, n. Y, who was accidentally shot
Sunday afternoon, died in the hospital
here at 1 o'clock This morning. It was
learned this morning that George G. Light
ner, a fellow student from Detroit, did the
shooting, but he is not believed to be pur-
posely responsible for the death of young
Frazer, and il is officially declared that he
will not ever be placed under arrest.
There was a story this morning saying
that the shooting was the result of an init
alton by the Trigon society, but this is
denied by the members. A strange feature,
trying to hush up the affair, and nothing
can be learned from the members or the
hospital.
Frazer was conscious until the last. and
directed how some of his Affairs should be
disposed OF. An inquest will be held next
Monday, when the whole story will come
out. Young Frazer's father arrived here
this noon and took the body to Geneseo
this evening.
The members of the Trigon fraternity
gave the following version OF the shooting.
which is accepted without reservation by
the authorities. who believe that panic over
the tragedy caused them to take their I'M
wise action in suppressing the facts yeSter-
day. Frazer. accompanied by Tom Davis
and Cass Lightener OF Detroit, went out
walking.
They stopped at a bridge over the river,
threw in a can and began shooting at it with
a revolver. The chambers had beer twice
emptied, when Lightener, reloading IL,
snapped the barrel down and it was acct
d~entally discharged, w~ounding Frazer in
the abdomen. A Coroner's jury was EN-
panelled to-day, but the inquest will not
be held until next Monday.
