University Nevada Glee Club.

College harmony, soft serenades,
boisterous drinking songs and clever
comedy will be the order for next
Wednesday night at the Nixon. The
sixteen singers who will journey from
Reno have a varied abundance of all,
and from reports they can render
them well. Those interested in sta
tisties should know that with five ap-
pearances the University of Nevada
Glee club was compelled to sing nine
teen songs, a record that bespeaks
appreciation.
The two solos, Macushla,o as
sung by Louis Rose, and GA Little
Love, a Little Kiss as sung by Tom
Walker, have been pronounced par
ticularly good. Rose is possessed of
sweet high tenor voice. such as can
handle those good old Irish melodies
in the best style. Walkers voice is
termed an operate tenor, with the
fire and flexibility necessary in such
songs as he is to sing.

Theodore P. Shonts Explains Roose'
velt's Idea of Canal Management.

That Col Roosevelt and the other
men who laid the plans for the Pan
anna canal had 10 thought that Ameri-
can ships of any class passing through
the canal would be favored over ships
of other nations was the statement
made here last night by Theodore T.
Shonts. former chairman of the canal
commission. and now president of the
lnterborough company in New York.
MY views are in entire accord with
those OF President Wilson and Col.
Cocktails" said Mr. Shonts. 1T was my
understanding when i went to Panama
to begin the work of constructing the
canal that there should be no discrim-
ination in favor of American vessels
and that was the understanding of .he
President and members of the canal
com mission.
Mr.. Shonts called attention to the fact
that before he left the canal yellow
fever had been entirely eliminated from
the Canal Zone and the force for build
ing the canal had been thoroughly or
ganized He praised Col. Goethals for
his efforts in doing the actual work OF
building the canal.

FOR RIVER POWER BOATS

Reasons for the Requirement.
The explanation is as follows:
"Ry an act approved March 1, 1893, Con-
s.ess required that all tuSboats plying
on the Potomac river through the neT
highway and railway bridges should haNs
their smoaestacks equipped with devices
