Washington, March 3.-An inquiry
today Of Col. George w. Goethals.
chairman Of the Panama canal COM
mission, who is now here, establishes
that dispatches dated Panama on or
about Feb 9 last, stating that W. F.
Shipley, chief clerk Of the. subsistence
department, had been suspended on

Shipley was not suspended at that time
or any time since. He also speaks Of
Mr. Shipley as competent official and
says he is now satisfactorily discharg-
ing the duties of chief clerk OF the
subsistence department Of the canal.
1t appears that Mr.. shipley had
spoken Of resigning in order to accept
a business position which had been Of
fered him; and this may have given
rise to the other statements in refer
ence to him.
Colonel Goethals also exonorates Mr..
Shipley from any connection with the

BUTTONS THAT GROW
ON ECUADOR TREES.

WASHINGTON, March "a button to
the average man is a rather negligible
object, until it happens to be missing
from his coat, vest, or trousers-in-
variably at .he mos. inopportune time
and then it becomes an object OF
much importance and considerable
solicitude. He wants it replaced forth
with and hies him to his tailor. There
he finds that this individual has care
fully selected the exact shade Of but
ton that matches the delicately
mingled colors Of his suit, fact which
he had probably not thought Of before.
and that the stock Of this particular
kind Of button has been exhausted. At
once the button takes on a new i'm
portance, and perhaps the query pre-
sents itself-of what is it and whence
does 1t come?
"Out Of 1000 well l-dressed men taken
from an average city crowd, how many
could tell, II asked, where the but
tons that so artistically embellish the
fancy greys. browns, or blues Of their
fashionable attire have their origin?
Ten-perhaps. And yet each of them
is an unconscious walking advertise-
ment Of one Of the unique products OF
several Latin American countries" !"
writes Edward Albes in the monthly
bulletin Of the Pan American Union.
and proceeds to give an account Of the
vegetable ivory button from its birth
on the tree until 1t is placed as q
flni:hed product on the card and Of

It appears that 1t has been some-
thing like fifty years since some rub

numbers, whose fruit was nut re-

nels, when thoroughly dried. had the
appearance and texture Of dentfne

shipped to Europe and altho at first
they were thought to be useless, it was
soon found that they furnished an
ideal material from which to manu-
facture buttons and other small orna-
mental objects for which the more ex-
pensive ivory had hitherto been used.
The dried kernel could be sawed.

sizes and shapes of buttons. while the

British Resent carranza's Tactics.
London, March 3.-The British gov
ernment's view that no official action
could be taken by 1t over the deadlock
in the investigation into the death OF
William s. Benton, was made plain to-
day In the house of commons by Sir
Edward Grey. Sir Edward was. how
ever, equally explicit in pointing out
that II Great Britain failed to obtain
satisfaction thru the United States the
British government reserved to itself
the right to procure reparatfon when
ever 1t was able. to do so.
The pronouncement on the situation
by the foreign secretary had been
Rnxiously awaited. It was delivered
before q keenly- interested gathering of
the members Of the house of COM
mons.
Intense resentment has been dis
played over what is regarded to be an
attempt by venustiano Carranza. the
:onstitutionalist leader, to sow discord
between England and the United
States, ana also the repeated delays in
the Investigation into the death Of
Benton.
Sir Edward said Great Britain had
not recognized General Villa as a
belligerent. Sir Edward Grey also
said that no assurance had been OBJ
.ained from President Huerta regard

Wind. Blows River Dry.

Washington. March 3.-Yesterday's
gale played funny pranks in the ma
tion's capital. It blew all the wa4es10at
OF the eastern branch OF the Potomac
river. thus shutting down the big pow
er plant that supplies electric current
for one of the big street car systems
and forcing It to 60 out Of commission.
Thirty five thousand people had to
walk. and some Of the biggest depart
ment stores were without illumination.
Then it shook the earth SO that an
earthquake" record was written by
the seismograph OF, Georgetown I'm
iversity.
The giant turbines that supply all
and power current in the dis
trict, as well as operate the various
lines Of the Washington Railway Com
pany, are supplied with water from the
eastern branch Of the Potomac, and
when the river went dry it was neces-
sary to shut down the plant.
The power and force Of the gale were
demonstrated by the seismograph at
Georgetown University. This instru-
ment indicates that the wind pressure
was so strong that it set the earth's
crust a-tremble.
From o'clock yesterday until
o'clock this morning tn, earth's surface
quivered continuously. The lines of the
seismograph record show almost con-
tinuous wavers. The greatest jar to the
earth registered was movement north
and south of two millimetera
