 "Red Tape.v
 Kansas City, Mo, Jan. 24. --Theo- dore Shonts, who spoke here tonight as the guest of the Knife and Fork Club. at It's monthly dinner, arrived In Kansas City today from the East. To the Associated Press he said:
 My position as president of the Panama Railroad and Steamship Line, which is auxiliary to the first posi- tion of chairman of the Isthmian Ca nal Commission, goes with the latter.
 My resignation of the chairman ship of the Canal Commission. there- fore. includes that of president of the railroad and steamship line.
 T have done exactly what said I would do to organize the Isthmian Canal Commission. There was no fric- tion--not bit of friction.p
 Referring to talk In New York that he had acted as John IT. Wallace. the former clfef engineer. ha5. In rerasn- ing for & position that meant moro money, Mir. Shonts said with much show of spirit:
 Now, why should men say such things? I should not have resigned at all If the president had not consented in advance. The President realized that the opportunity presented was ex- ceptionable and that I might do much for New York people in assuming charge of the Interborough Railway.
 "The Panama Canal work has passed the creative stage--it is organized--it can and will go right ahead success. fully under the direction of MT. Stew ems. the Chief Engineer. I hope MT. Stevens will be left in charge of the work"
 Asked in regard to the statements published In certain newspapers to the eqect that red tapo" regulations had lnterfe1ed with his work as Chairman. Mr. Shonts said:
 Red taper Well can understand how the government must be more careful than some corporations or in. stitutions. All that talk is foolish. even if I did not like red tape there was no friction In the Commission or between me and any other depart ment of the government.
 T had no trouble with Mir. Stevens. never contemplated remaining to see the finish Of the construction of the Canal. organized the engineering and executive features and brought or- der out of confusion.
 You may say" he added. that this is one government Job that Is resign ed with every possible feeling of cour- tesy and good will from both sides. hope 1 have made that clear"

WRECK IN COLUMBUS
TRAIN DASHES INTO PAS
 SINGER TRAIN.
Miss Davis, Who Had Been Visiting Montgomery Is Among The List Of Slightly Injured
 Persons.

Columbus, Ga, Jan. 24.-(Special)- J. As the Central of Georgia Railway passenger train from AndaIusia was backing along the ''Y'' at the corner of Tenth avenue and Ninth street oar ly this afternoon Southern Railway freight train in charge of Engineer Henry Johnson of Atalanta dashed into the train.
 The second class passenger coach was demolished and the rear of the first class coach was battered in, while the freight engine was wrecked.
 Numbers of passenger sustained slight injuries although none was seri- ously hurt. The most painfully injured was Miss Bertie Davis, who was re- turning home from a visit to Mont Romery and who occupied seat near where the engine crashed into the first class coach.
 In the negro compartment there was a stampede and as the car turned partly over negroes jumped out of the windows.
 The accident seems to have been the fault of the Southern Railway cngi- neer. He was injured but not seri- ausly.

He was the subject of unjust criticism because of the country's lack of preparedness for war when war came, although for this he was in no wise responsible. His record as sol dier in the civil war was long. useful and highly honorable.

When they reached the vine covered
cottage in front of his orange grove he
carried in the trunk and valise and
presently called his wife aside and
made a whispered explanation. Then
he went TO the barn TO unharness his
mule. But he made much longer
job of it than was necessary, and when
it was finished he leaned upon his fence

Their silver Anniversary.

Twas just about six months or less since
links had wed his wife.
She was shrew-'y golly day, they lived
an awful life!
Shed been as nice as pie to him till she
had got him cinched
Yet they had scarcely left the church ere
they fell out and clinched.
From then until our tale begins was one
unending scrap,
Although in single life he'd been a quiet
loving chap.
He called her vixen" "spitfre," cat"
she called him "Satans SPAWN
They jawed from dawn 10 set OF sun,
from sunset back to dawn
One day when half a year had passed
and found them still at war,
When links had long been wondering
what he was living for.
He made a friendly overture to her he
aye was dreading,
Suggesting that they issue cards anent
their silver wedding.
The shrew, wrath mingled with amaze,
demanded what he meant,
AS but a poor half dozen months their
fortunes had been blent.
His answer came in accents meek: For
give, pray you, dear.
I'd merely notched my walking stick each
time It seemed n year"

Presently there were Il roar and
