HANNA GETS A WATCH.
Retiring Lieutenant Governor Re-
membered by the Senate.


When the senate reconvened after
luncheon today. on the motion of Sem
ator Smith, ex-Lieutenant Governor
Hanna was brought before the bar of
the senate to answer a lot of charges
made against him.
Nearly every senator had some sort
of complaint or charge to make,
among which were some that he had
tried to further the interests of the
minority, that he had stolen a gavel,
that he had allied himself with the
Square Dealers and. that while he
was a presiding officer he had decided
parliamentary questions with utter I'M
impartiality, together with a variety
of other charges
Senator Noftzger was appointed to
defend Mr. Hanna. He made a hui
morous speech, upon the conclusion of
which he presented Mr.. Hanna with
fine gold watch with the compliments
of the members of the senate as a
token of their esteem. Mr.. Hanna
made a fitting response.

Make Good Financially.

Washington, Jan. 17.-Chairman Shonts
today announced that at a conference be-
tween the president. Secretary Root, Sec
rotary Taft and himself, with respect to
the pending contract for constructing the
Panama canal, it was decided first, that
the lowest bid-that is, of 6.75 per cent
was at a percentage at which the govern
ment would be. justified in placing the
contract. The second point in the deter
mination of this matter is whether or not
the persons making this bid-that is,
Messrs- Oliver and Bangs-can qualify
financially under the requirements; that
is to say, whether they can show that
they have or control $4,000 availa BILE
for this work; that is, 100000 above LA

be required to make the bond.
1t was further decided that If their per-
sonal record and their business standing
are found after investigation to be all
right, they ought to have the contract.

Engineers Name.

A demand for the payment of 81, 600. 20
from NJ w. Gilmore in the handwriting
of James McCabe, city engineer, and
signed with his name is the most i'm
portant document in the possession of
the investigating committee.
This piece of paper is being carefully

The paper contains summary of SO

according to the yardage and the total
footing is given at the contract price,
tending to bear out the statements of
Gilmore that he in reality received that
amount on his contract in excess of the
work done. The paper, it is stated by
those who have seen it, to be in accord
ance with the testimony of Gilmore that
1t contains a demand for the amount in

Marys on a warrant sworn out by j.
F.. Rossiter, detective of the Rock
Island Tobias is charged with steal

suits of clothes and other junk from
the Rock Island depot in Topeka. The
value of the missing articles is in the
neighborhood of $45. The goods were
