TAFT STATED
WAS WONG

WASHINGTON, d. c., Jan. 81
In acknowledging that he made a
mistake in including the monetary
agreement with Panama an ar
rangement to make coins of that
republic legal tender in the canal
zone, Taft has taken the edge from
all criticism in the senate with re-
gard to that agreement. Before
the senate committee on finance
this morning he made further ex-
PLANTATION of the agreement. Bailey
announced that as the provision
never had been in force and the
secretary was so frank in making
aovwal he had no intention of
pressing the matter.

Then there are numerous other
legislative symptoms indicating an
excess of honesty on the part of
congressman who have been de-

1t would be we'll for the general
public if the members of congress
would cast aside their embarrass

their Utmost feelings prompt them
to do.
But many hesitate. In a fashion
the railways have them on the
hip. If they get too strenuously
virtuous now, the motive will ap-
pear in the removal of the pass. To
admit that this is the motive is to

paced SO miles in from 2:01 1-2 to
1:55 IA, the latter being the world
record.
In nine of the &c miles the stall

others averaged 1:5S. He did no
less than seven miles in under 200.
He began his seasons campaign in
September, and in &C days broke

lost but two.

1t was generally known that the
whole affair was a steal of NAM

vania road was paid several million
dollars for relinquishing rights in
their alleged right of way" across
the government mall" or park,
which right of way they did not
own, and whence they might have
been ousted as trespassers at any
moment. Then the Is. & o. was
paid an equal amount 80 as to
make it fair" Then the govern
ment undertook about half the ex-
pense of raising the tracks-work
which in other cities the road has
to do at its own cost.
Altogether it was a big piece of
1obbery. At least one correspond

The work of one man and one
horse stands out as the most bril-
liant in light harness history for
the year 1905. Ed Geers, the ISL
lent man of Tennessee" who has
driven many a champion trotter to
victory and records in his many
years on the turf, comes out at the
top of winning drivers. In the
grand circuit races he scored 16
firsts, II seconds, nine thirds, IA
fourths and was unplaced but Is
times. The prize money he won
aggregated $4,000. His nearest
rival was Lou Mcdonald, who won
$27,16O.
While Geers' record is hardly
up to that of the previous year,
nevertheless he has laid further
claim to the distinction of being
the best driver the country has
seen in years. He is past the three
score mark in years, but he ranks
with the cleverest young driver in
the country. The years have not
robbed him of any of his cunning,
and 1906 should see him well up
among the top-notchers.

none to compare with Dan Patch.

Our M0RTONS,
GREAT JUGClERS
AT washington

The Four Mortons, probably the
greatest team of jugglers to be
seen on the vaudeville stage today,
are to be seen at the Washington
theater during the coming week.
Their work is said to be of a high
class order and the management of
the new vaudeville house may be
congratulated on securing such
strong drawing card. Eastern CT
ties in which the Mortons have ap-
peared give a flattering account of
their performance, which will be
one of the main features of an ex-
ceptionally strong bill to be pre-
scented this week.

type, will give several violin selec-
lions of a high order.
