THE real reason for the estrange-
ment between Speaker Cannon,
eight other members of the con-
gressional party and the canal zone
officials was not because Of the quar-
antine regulations but because Speak
er Cannon and his party did not be-
lieve they were properly treated.
When the steamship on which the
Speaker and his party were arrived
at Colon the men who are digging the
canal and caring for the canal zone
did not even send rowboat out to
meet them. The party boarded a
train at Colon, going to Panama and
after it had started and was nearing
Culebra cut Speaker Cannon went
strolling through the coach ahead.
In it he found Chief Engineer Stevens,
who recognized him and talked with
him a few minutes.
"Well, good-by," the chief engineer
said, waving his hand, as the train
approached Culebra cut. This is

CANAL ZONE MEN HURT
PRIDE OF CONGRESSMAN

The congressional party headed by
the speaker believed they had been
SO badly treated that they had the
steward on the steamship prepare
their luncheon for them. Each mem
Der of the party on the train carried
lunch box.
When the train pulled into Panama
Superintendent Beard of the Panama
Railroad company had prepared an
elaborate luncheon for the members
of the speakers party. They went In
the dining-room and ate the luncheon
and on leaving the table each Nom
Der of the party left at his plate the
customary price for a luncheon
Superintendent Beard found the
money on the table, and, as his
guests had gone, sent it back to the
steamship with a curt note that he
was rot authorized to collect money
for the luncheon.
Tie Panama commission may have
genClemen in its Offices In Washing

MISS SHONTS WILL NOT

yUAsHINGToN.-The departure of /,

yN ASIIINGTON-The departure of
w Theodore p. Shonts, former
chairman of the Panama canal COM
mission, with his two daughters, for
New York, where he is now lead of
the Metropolitan traction interests,
has again revived talk concerning the
engagement of Miss Shonts to the
Due de Chaulnes.
If there ever was an engagement
it is now off, as Washington society
has the story, and the reason for this
allure of another international alli-
auce is said to be the refusal OF Mr..
Shonts to grant the ducal demand
for a settlement.
1t is accepted here as the correct
version of the departure of the duke
without bride that Mr. Shonts stood
firmly for the American idea of mar
rage settlements. He is reported to
have told De Chaulnes that he would
give his daughter a stylish wedding,
provide her with ? trousseau fit for a
princess, and a substantial wedding
allowance that would keep her in pin
money for a long time, but to enter
into any agreement to settle an in
come on her for life before marriage,

ones, the match win never come OF,
as the duke is reported to need the

lineage ard incumbered estates, he is
short on cash
To all appearances the two youne
people are really in love. But what
can a duke and duchess do without
sufficient means to keep up theit end
of the social game?" asks Washington
society. Still, some believe the young
people may yet decide to marry with
out the settlement and take their
chances on papas determination not
to rehabilitate the De Chaulnes es
tates.
While in New York the Misses
Shonts will help their father In select

they will move from here some time
early in June.

FAIRBANKS AMBITION
OPENS HIS POCKETBOOK

MYTH presidential bee buzzing
w merrily in his bonnet, Vice Presi-
dent Fairbanks has entered on So
cial campaign that has made the whole
capital rub its eyes in surprise and
wonder at his extravaganza.
Since the Fairbanks weather eye
was fixed steadily on the White House
the expenses of the family, it Is said,
have jumped from $4,000 to 100000.
Mrs. Fairbanks now Is one OF the
most popular hostesses in Washing
ton, and from the occasional recep-
lions of two years ago has developed
to two formal affairs a week.
Formerly the Fairbankses lived in a
modest house at Eighteenth and Mass
achusetts avenues, the rent of which
was $4,000 a year. Then they had
only five servants in all, and they
were without carriage, hiring ve-
hicle whenever needed. Now they
pay $4,000 a year for the mansion Of

TO HAVE the proper and legitimate
i expenses of national campaigns
paid from the national treasury for
the different political parties, and to
permit in presidential campaigns only
a closely limited use of money other
than that drawn from the public
funds, is the striking project which
the president has in his mind as a
means of purifying national politics
and preventing improper use of money
drawn from improper sources.
There has been much doubt wheth-
err the scheme of publicity, after cleo
ton, of campaign expenditures would
be very effective. Practical politi-
clans have protested that 1t is locking
the barn after the horse is stolen.
1t would be required, of course that all
money should be carefully accounted
for, vouchers should be made and
carefully audited, and the purposes
for which II could be used would be
limited to speaking. literature and or
ganization.
1t is understood that the amount
made available from the public treas.
ury would be apportioned among the
parties on some such basis as the rel
alive votes polled at the last proceed.
.ng national election. This would let
in the small parties for their share.
Politicians regard the scheme as
Utopian, but are not at all certain
whether 1t could be defeated IL seri.
ously presented to congress by the
president.
The president has not developed de-
tails of the plan. and may be con.
yinced yet of its practicability. but

TAFT MAY AVOID STUMP
War Secretary Returns Monday, When Developments Are Expected In the Buckeye State-Hundeys

BY wATTERsoN sTEALEY.

Washington, April 17.-(Special)-- It is
 now reported that the President is look ing out for man to stamp his endorse
 ment upon, in case the Forakerites win
 out in Ohio and carry the Buckeye states delegates against Taft. Governor Hughes according to the Presidents friends, is next in line though Secretary Cortelyou. also New Yorker, is mentioned In
 connection with the presidential! O. K.
 The President, it Is said, has no idea
 ol quitting Secretary Taft, but 1t is un- deniable that everything in Ohio just at this stage is not going exactly to suit
 the administration. Secretary Taft is ex-
 pected on Monday and his return to
 the United States may result in import art developments. The Secretarys friends say that he is extremely averse to mak-
 ing a campaign for the nomination. In
 fact. it is declared that he would rather
 lose than have to adopt the undgniiied
 course of stumping Ohio and appealing to the voters from every stump in the state.
 Inc Secretary mas made all of his ar engagements to go to the Philippines and it will require much persuasion to get
 hIm to change his mind. President Roose- welt today had conference at the White
 House with reference to southern dele gates.

 owing to the acts of disfranchisement passed by nearly all of the southern states the negro vote does not pos

 The Presidents supporters also express l confidence in the ability of the referees [ in .ne several southern states to control 1 the sitration and send delegates who will 1 voto for Taft or any other man the l.

It is said that the : recent appointment of Hundley to the | Alabama federal judgeship has materially I strengthened the hands of the referees in l that state and that Colonel Wight, who

 tion in Louisiana. Texas, Mississippi and | Georgia and the Carolinas are all counted

Brown, secretary of the American le- gation at Guatemala, asked to be excused from personal attendance on account of sickness and requesting President F'iguera to send his minister of foreign affairs to the conference. President Figuera, desir- ing to show his sincerity agreed to this proposal and consequently Garcia Gon1 gales, the foreign minister of Salvador, left here today to confer with Jose D. Gomez. the Nicaraguan minister of for eign affairs, on board the American cruiser Chicago at Amapala, this vessel having been placed at the disposal of the oonferees by President Roosevelt.
 The navy department report of the movements of the vessels gives the gun boat Boston as having sailed yesterday from Corinto, Nicaragua, and the gun boat Chicago from Acajuta, Salvador, for Amapala. The mission of the Ameri- man vessels to Nicaragua and Saliva dorean ports was to convey reports of the two governments to Amapala for a con ference looking to a settlement of the difficulty between Nicaragua and Hon duras and Salvador The vessels were due to arrive early today
 The gunboat Princeton Is reported to have sailed from Salina Cruz, Mex, where she landed President Bonlla of the de- feated Honduran government, for Aca- pulco, Mex.
 Senor Corea the minister from Nica- ragua, conferred with Assistant Secretary Bacon today concerning the conference at Amapala and other Central American affairs. He said that from advices he had received he believed the conference would not actually begin until tomorrow. It is not expected by Senor corea that the conference will result in more than a temporary agreement, because the five states in Central America have deter mined that it is necessary to hold another conference at which ale will be repre- scented, for the purpose of agreeing on peace proposition on an enduring basis.
