 Called Bucketshops.

Atlanta, February 15.-(Special)-The Georgia supreme court holds that since the general assembly licensed bucket shops" by fixing a license tax of 5000 on such places. that these places are not liable for criminal prosecution as gaming houses"

 They say further that 'It is undoubtedly within the province of the general as- sembly to divide those who hazard their money upon chance into two distinct classes one to be known as gamblers and the others as 'fnanciers.'

 Panama.

Washington, February Ex-Governor Charles E. Magoon concluded his testi- nony before the Senate committee on interoceanic canals. He disclaimed know ledge of the granting of the concession to the Union oil company of California to construct a pipe line across the isth- mus within the canal zone.
 Senator Morgan put in evidence num- Der of copies of applications from other concerns for similar rights. together with letters from the Secretary of War, and Chairman Shonts of the isthmian canal commission on the subject of the Presi- dents order granting the concession to the California company. This correspond ence included letter written by the Sec retary of War, saying that any other company could get similar concessions if they desired them.
 Governor Magoon urged the passage Of laws governing mining rights, saying that both gold and coal were to be found on the isthmus; authorizing the commission to pay a part of employees salaries to their families in the United States if de- sired: for the correction of land titles and broadening of the zone courts, with pro- visions for appellate review of the acts of such courts. He closed by urging the committee to visit the isthmus before con cluding it's investigation. The committee adfourned until Monday, when Chairman shonts will resume his testimony.
