SOME FEATURES CRITICISED.
Senate Committee Considers Proposed
Canal Contract.

Washington, Jan. 9.-The terms of
the proposed contract for the on
struction OF the Panama canal, on
which the commission invited bids,
were considered during the day by the
senate committee on interoceanic ca
nails. 1t was declared by some. of the
members of. the committee that the
contract will have the effect Of max
ing the successful bidder only an agent
of the government and not relieve the
government: from any of its response
.bility. Several other features of the
contract were criticised ~unfavorably,
but finally it was decided to. take nc
action in opposition to the character
of the contract proposed. .-
The members OF the COMMITTEES
agreed unanimously to support the
bill by Senator Morgan to place the
affairs of the Panama railroad under
the islhmian canal commission and
thus have all of the governments al
fairs on the isthmus under one head.

Merchants Not Permitted to Testify
In Shea Case.
Chicago, Jan. 9.-The defense in the
Ehea trial renewed its efforts during
the day to bring before the jury ad'
missions from various State street
merchants that they were members of
the Employers association. This line
Of inquiry, however, proved ineffective.
On motion Of Assistant States Attor-
ney Miller Judge Ball quashed the
subpoena as each witness was called
to the stand. The subpoenaes called
for the production of books, records
and papers which the defense main
tanned would show the connections of
the State street merchants with the
Employers association. The first wit
ness was Jacob Kesner, who had prom
ised to produce a book containing an
entry in reference to the Employers
association. Before Mr.. Kesner began
his testimony Assistant States Attor-
ney Miller offered the motion to quash
the s~ubpoenaes. Counsel for the de-
tense objected and asked the court to
hold Mr.. Kesner in contempt Of court.
Mr.. Miller explained that he had ad-
vised Mr.. Kesner and the other mer-
chants not to obey the s%ubpoenaes be-
cause no foundation had been laid by
the defense for the production of the
books and records called for. MI.
Miller was upheld by the court.

Mr.. Daniel analysed the articles of
war and army regulations to sustain
his conclusion that the power to dis
miss is equal and conclusive in the
president, the secretary of war, the
commander of a department and a
courtmartial. This, he said. had been
so for 100 years and must necessarily
be so. Il am neither the lover, the
friend or the advocate Of autocratic

cipline and organization Of armies by
putting power into the hands of those
who command it."

STRANGE FEATURES CONNECTED
WITH MURDER OF PORTLAND
CO., PHYSICIAN.

Portland, Ore, Jan. 9.-The murder
in this city during the night of DR..
Phillip Edwards Johnson, a physician
recently arrived from New York, is
one of the most mysterious tragedies
that ever has occurred in the North
west.
, DR.. Johnson came to Portland with
his newly welded wife two months
ago to establish his home here and to
practice his profession: The couple
bought a site for a beautiful home in
a fashionable section. Mrs. Johnson.
before her marriage last fall. was a
Mrs. Scarborough. She is a daughter
of former Governor Hoadley of Ohio.
DR.. Johnson is a son OF Episcopal
A%rchdeacon Johnson of Staten Island
and a graduate of Columbia univer-
sity. Shortly after dining with his
wife during the evening DR.. Johnson
announced his intention of visiting a
DR.. Panton. one of the examining
board by which he was to have been
examined for admission to practice in
this state, against the protestations OF
his wife, who feared highwaymen. On
his way DR.. Johnson called upon his
cousin, w. G. Alvord. assistant cashier
in. a local bank. What happened at,
Alvord's house has not heen learned

ment for publication, ana II he has
told the police anything that trans
pired the department is keeping it
secret. Alvord's parents. however.
told the police that after leaving their
home DR.. Johnson walked toward the
Ford street bridge, two blocks dis
tant, to go to Panton's home. A short
time afterward a a conductor found
Johnson's mangled body lying in JEFF
ferson street, III feet below the
bridge. J%ohnson's pockets had been
turned inside out and his watch re-
moved. DR.. Johnson's empty pocket
book and keys were found on the
bridge above. There were no evil
dences of a struggle. Cards on the
doctors body were the mean OF iden-
LITIGATION.
Captain Bruin of. the police depart
ment inclines to the murder theory
and yet, according to his statements
to newspaper men, he does not be-
lieve Johnson was robbed, but insin-
yates his belief of murder with some
motive more sinister than robbery.
