Are Men Honest.

Are the men now in charge of this work honest?" MT. Underwood inquired.
 They not only are absolutely honest ' MT Tawney replied. but the most cap- able men ever in that work"
 The chair sustained the point of order against the provision and it went out of the bill. There was also stricken from the bill on a point of order by MT. Un- derwood of Alabama the provision requir- ing that all expenditures from the ap- propriation of $27 600, GOO for the Panama canal shall bep aid from the proceeds of the sale of Panama bonds.
 Against vigorous arguments by Messrs. Boutell of Illinois and Hughes of New Jersey, the wage provisions was declared in order, after MT. Macon of Arkansas had reoffered it as provision to the first paragraph of the bill.
 MT. Boutell declared that the provision sought to tie the hands of the canal con- mission in the employment of labor The speedy building of the canal, he contend ed, was more important than that 1t should be built cheaply.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1908-05-08
Panic Causes Cut.

In the opinion of MT. Hughes the Uni ted States was being put in the position of being the first employer of labor to cut wages because of the panic.
 MT Macon declared that he could not understand how anybody could want more favorable working conditions than exist on the isthmus, and he thought an increase of p per cent in wages, in addition to the advantages offered on the isthmus ought to be suf- ficient.
 Men. he said. were elamoring for those places now, and would jump at them at an increase of 25 per cent over wages paid in the United States.
 The provision also was opposed by Messrs Dawson of Iowa, Sulzer of New York and Wilson of Pennsylvania.
 The provision was defeated, 10 to 101.
 By changing its phrase slightly, Mr. Fitzgerald of New York secured the reinsertion and addition of the provis- ion relating to payments from proceeds from sales of bonds. On a point of order by Mir. Gaines of West Virginia there went out of the bill the para graph authorizing the Secretary of the Treasury to enter into a private con tract for electrically lighting govern ment buildings in the District of Co., lumbia.
 The bill carries a total appropriation of $106, 966, 369, or $1 ,241,000 more than as reported by the committee.

Bio Bow Purchased
by 7. H. Williams

Actuated by a sentimental desire to
win the Thorpton stake because that
event bears the name of Colonel Harry
l. Thornton, a very dear friend and
his predecessor in the presidency of the
California jockey club, T. H. Williams
yesterday purchased from G. w. Scott
for $4,000 the horse Big Bow, whose
recent victories in the four kaile stake
at Arcadia and in the Monterey selling
stake at Emeryville Wednesday
stamp him as grand long distance
performer and brought him into the
limelight as the probable winner of
the Thornton tomorrow.
AS the horse Is a nonmudder, the
bargain will be called off should it rain
before IL o'clock tomorrow. Williams
has set his heart on winning the
Thornton this year of all years because
it falls on the sixth anniversary of his
sons birth. Big Bow is the second
horse that he has purchased with the
winning of the stake in view.
Ramus, his earlier purchase, went
wrong just after he acquired him for
$4,000. Jockey Butwell, who was to
have ridden Big Bow in G.. w. SCOTS
colors, will ride the horse for Williams.
as Jockey Miller will be riding at Ar
cadia tomorrow.
