A BAILEY OVATION
AUSTIN, TEX. SCENE OF GREAT
 UTILIZATION.
Hundreds of People Flock Into Texas Capital and Join fn Torch Light Procession in Senator's
 Honor.

Austin, Tex, Jan. 23.-In the pres- enca of large assemblage. many of whom came from remote parts of Tex as, Hon. Joseph w. Bailey was today formally reelected United States Sem ator by the two Houses of the Texas Legislature in joint session for anoth- CT six years term. MT. Bailey re- ceived 1os votes in the joint session out of 147 cast by, the two Houses.
 Speaker Love, who presided, am nounced that Senator Bailey having a majority of the votes was duly elected, and appointed a committee to notify MT. Railey of his election. When the aunotfncenent was made the occupants of the galleries engaged in prolonged applause.

AUTHENTICITY OF EVIDENCE.
County Attorney Probing Into Record
 of Waters-Pierce Company.

County Attorney Probing Into Record
 of Waters-Pierce Company.
 Austin. Tex. Jan. 23.--Acting under authority granted him by the Texas antitrust law. County Attorney Brady late this afternoon had H. Naudain, one of the auditors of the Waters-Pierce oil Company at St. Louis, who is in this city, brought before Judge J. D. Moore, justice of the peace. in order to have him testify as to the authen- tIcity of documentary evidence held by the State In connection with the Waters Pierce oil Company, and which will be used in the forthcoming anti trust suits against the company.
 This testimony is now playing a prominent part in the investigation of Senator J. W. Bailey by the legisla- tive committee. MT. Naudain. through his attorneys, Judge J. D. Johnson of St. Louis and Judge R. L. Penn Of this city, exerted every effort to refrain from passing upon the authenticity or the papers, but he was finally forced to do so by court order, the ruling be- ing that the antitrust law or Texas granted the prosecution the right to get any statement from any one con- corning cases at any time, that they could secure witnesses as It was pos sIbIe that Naudain would be without the iurisdiction of the State courts when the case was called for trial in March. 1t was deemed advisable to se- cure the evidence whenever possible
 Among the facts elicited from MT. Naudain were that the notations on voucher drawn In favor of Henry S strlbling of Texas for $1,SOO. part of inc documentary evidence was placed there by Naudain himself on the date stated m the notation, and that the akf, oh lFz md various signatures on other cnscks stnS anS hod heen questioned. were genuine.
 His evidence Is claimed to have es- tahlished that the various vouchers and other documents in the possession of tha Attorney General of Texas are not torced and have not been altered. but are correct records of transactions be- tween the Waters-Pterce oil Company, Senator Bailey and others.

SHONTS QUITS
 COMMISSION Sends President His Resignation. IS RELUCTANTLY ACCEPTED Will Assume Presidency of New York Traction System. Chairman Of Isthmisn Canal Board Has Been Irritated By The He'd
 Tape sAbout Work In 

Washington, Jan. s2s.-The resigna- tion of Theodore P. shonts as chair man of the Isthmian Canal Commission was announced at the White House to- day, having been rendered to the Pres ident and accepted by him yesterday. according to correspondence made pub lie. It will take effect not later than March {. Mr. Shonts having been eiec- ted today as president of the Inter borough Metropolitan Company. which controls the rapid transit and many surface lines in New York.
 No announcement was made as to who will succeed MT. shonts as chair man of the commission but 1t was learned authoritatveiy that headquar- ters would be removed from Washing ton to the Isthmus and Q high salaried cahirman to serve In that capacity alone will not be named. This being admitted, 1t follows that John F. Stew ems, the engineer in charge of the con- struction of the canal. would not be made subordinate to another official on the Isthmus. Without definite an- nOuuCGtuGuls bhCtSAoACs At A1 AO6%A1Cd as a certainty that MT. Stevens will be named as chairman of tho commits sion and will assume his duties as such in connection with his post as chief engineer.
 MT Shonts's retirement does not come wholly as surprise. It has been rumored persistently as soon as action had been taken upon the proposition to build the canal by contract that Mir. Shonts would sever his connection and resume 8 calling more congenial to his taste. Secretary Taft of the war de- partment today confirmed that rumoI by saying that Mir. shonts resignation was voluntary. which fact Is borne out by the letter of the President acceptina q it. The correspondence follows; New York, January 22. My Dear MT. President:--I hereby | tender my resignation as chairman ol 1 the Isthmian Canal Commission, effec' tive at your pleasure but not later thar
 It Is unnecessary for me to assure you of my great. appreciation of the confidence you have reposed in me and of the splendid sur 7ort you have always accorded me since my first ap- pointment by you.
 Very sincerely yours,
 'T. P. shonts"
 Resignation Is Accepted.
 The Presidents reply follows.
 The White House. Washington Jan. 22 My dear MT. Shonts-I accept your resignation as chairman of the Isth- milan canal commission to take effect on March 4, with extreme reluctance do so merely because I do not feel Justified in preventing your accep- tance of the position you have been asked to take in New York-a position of such great consequence not merely to the people with whom you will be associated in the business manage ment e. the enterprise, but to all the citizens of New York.
 You have shown throughout your &s- sociation with the isthmian canal com mission such energy administrative capacity. fertility of resource and judgment in handling men. together with such entire devotion to your ] work that hardly know whether most to regret the fact that the national government Is to lose you or to

Service.
 Washington. Jan. 23.-In regard to a report from Kansas City, of the en- listing in the United States army of negroes for service in the Philippines, Major General Ainsworth, the milita- ry secretary, today said that no sig sificance should be attached to these orders.
 Tho orders were not confined to Kansas City alone, but were sent to other recruiting points. It is said to be the invariable custom of the de- partment so far as possible to recruit up to the full strength all regiments white or negro, about to go to the Philippines, which have been depleted by keeping back the short term men.
 In the case of the twenty-fifth in fantry, an organization created by act of Congress. it Is necessary in order to comply with the terms of the law. that negroes be recruited to replace the battalion discharged without hon or as the result of the Brownsville affair.
