middle of the war there were about 1,200

There will hereafter be appointed by tha
president nine civil engineers of the high
est standing, having experience in work o
canal construction and hydraulics, to con
stitute n board of consulting engineers, to
which will be submitted by the Isthmian
Canal commission for Its consideration and

All of the orders relating to the Panama
canal, except ns rar as tney may te in
consistent with the present order, remain
in force.
The order closes with the announcement
of the appointment of the commission. The
appointment of Judge Mngoon as governor
of the canal eone shall take effect on the
date of his arrival on the Isthmus and the
resignation of the present Incumbent of
said office shall thereupon take effect.
The commissions of Messrs. Bhonts, Ma
goon, Bndlcott, Haines and Harrod were
delivered to them today and they took the
oath of office as Isthmian canal commis
sioners. The immediately called upon Sec
retary of War Taft and It Is expected
they will enter upon their duties at once.
Chairman Shontz will go to New York to
night.
Mew Commission Meets.
After their Induction' Into office and their
consultation with Secretary Taft the com
missioners met in the office of Governor
Magoon and had a brief talk over the reor
ganization plans, but necessarily this was
of a preliminary nature because moat of
the commissioners were unfamiliar by per
sonal experience with the mechanism the
old commission has created. It Is said that
there Is no disposition to make auddon
changes In It, though In the end a more or
less complete reorganisation is expected.
Under the president' order the actual
headquarters of the commission will be In
Panama, and there-will probably be a con
siderable transfer of employes from Wash
ington to that place, leaving here only a
sufficient force to carry on the work of the
administrative branch and to keep the
duplicate accounts. Chairman Shunts, with
Governor Magoon and Engineer Wallace,
will spend most of his time in the zone,
but as the administrative officers are di
rectly In Mr. Shonts' charge he will be In
Washington more or less. The purchasing
agent of the commission will establish him
self In New. York. Rear Admiral Kndicott
and Colonel Krnst at present are charged
with Important duties In connection with
the navy and army. The admiral Is chief
of tha naval bureau of yards and docks.
and Colonel Ernst Is not only In charge of
Important river and harbor works in the
neighborhood of Chicago, but Is president
of the Mississippi river commission, which
is to meet during the summer at Toronto.
Their continuous presence on the Isthmus
is not necessary, and It probably will be
ojilte sufficient If they are there only long
enough to attend the regular quarterly
meetings at Panama. This will enable Ad
miral Endicott to meet the president's wish
and continue at the head of the bureau of
docks. Colonel Ernst will be relieved of
the river and harbor work In the Chicago
division by Lieutenant Colonel William H.
Boxby, corps of engineers, now on sick
leave. Engineer Wallace, who Is now on
his way from Panama, will be here by
Wednesday or Thursday.
Colonel Ernst will continue to set as
president of the Mississippi River commis
sion and member of the International Deep
Water commission.
Magoon Will Healde in Panama.
Governor Magoon will be required to re
atde permanently on the Isthmus and has
resigned his present position as law officer
of the bureau of insular affairs and of the
commission. It Is the present Intention to
refrain from filling the vacancy thu cre
ated, the Insular bureau, like the other
bureau of the War department, will call
on the Judge advocate general's office for
any necessary legal advice.
Later In the day the new body met at th
offices of th commission and perfected It
organization. The first action taken wu
the appointment of an executive commit
tee, composed of Chairman Shonts, Gov
ernor Magoon and Chief Engineer Wallace.
The question of the disposition of th
minor official and the clerical force wa
left open.
Mr. Shonts left here tonight for a brief
visit to th west to finish up some private
matters demanding his attention.

Whatever you drink outside, let your
home beer be Schlitz. That is pure beer.
No bacilli in it nothing to make you
bilious.
Beer is a saccharine product, and germs
multiply rapidly in it. The slightest taint
of impurity quickly ruins its healthfulness.
We go to the utmost extremes to prevent
that. Cleanliness is a science where Schlitz
beer is brewed.
We even cool the beer in plate glass
rooms, in nothing but filtered air.
Then we filter the beer. Then we
sterilize every bottle.
And Schlitz beer is aged. The beer that
makes you bilious is green beer.
When you order beer for your home,
get the healthfulness without the harm.
Get a pure beer - get an old beer - get Schlitz.

SOLDIERS' RELIEF FUND PAYS
Commissioner. Who Handle the Cash
Will Get Small Percentage
as Compensation.
Through a law passed by the late legis
lature, the members of the soldiers' relief
commission of th. different countle will
be allowed to retain 6 per cent of all the
moneys passing -through their hands for
actual relief. Thl retained money will be
their compensation for the services ren
dered as such relief commissioners.
In Douglas county, where as high as VX
to 350 person are sometimes on the relief
roll, the sum handled annually amounts
to amout $8,000 Jn round figures. On this
the pereentsge Is $400. which would give
to the three members of the Douglas
county commission $133.33 each. J. L.

third member is M. J. Feenan. Mr. Simp

After HearliiK Aranmenta Pro nnd
Con They Decide to Take It
t p at et Hegolar
Meeting;.
County Commissioners Urunlng and Mc
Donald pleaded with the general committee
of the city council yesterday afternoon for
quarter in the city hall for a detention
place for the Juvenile court.
Th. commissioner pointed out that the
expense, which possibly will be $.1G0 or more
a month, has been thrust upon the county
without much chance for preparation and
that it ia thought the city government
should stand a share of the cost. Borne
of the councilman, however, could not see
the propriety of using the city hall for the
purpose and objected strongly to the propo
sition. After considerable argument the
matter was left undecided, to be brought
up again at the regular meeting ot the I
council tonight. '
Some suggest that permission then may
oe given for use of the city hall basement
provided the county pays the expense of
making sewer connections, putting In par
titions to make four rooms and fitting up
generally.
Commissioner Bruning explained that four
rooms were necessary In order to separate
th. very bad boys and the very bad girl
from the boy and girl not so bad. Ther.
was some talk of using room on the fourth
floor of th. building, but this plan was
regarded with general disfavor. Though
the basement Idea lost out through the
negative votes of Cnuncllmen Evans, Back
and Huntington, the full strength of the
council wa not present and the queatlon
not definitely determined. The county com
missioners wanted the council to vote a
monthly annuity to the court, but Council
man Zlmman said thia waa not legal.
H. I). Pearson, deputy fish and game
commissioner for both Iowa and Nebraska
In this territory, was given permission to
use the council chamber Thursday for a
public meeting for the purpose of Increas
ing the membership of the Douglas County
Game and Fish Protective association and
to make plans for the policing of Cutoff
lake. It Is desired to exercise proper pro
tection to some 60,000 block bass that are
to be placed there In May. Mr. Pearson
said that while the primary object was to
protect the Ash, thl Involved the removal
of numbers of lawless persons from the
shores of the lake who do not respect the
fish laws, the criminal code nor the ordi
nances of the city of Omaha. A fund is
being raised for the purpose. He stated
that the project had every assurance of
success.
Thomas Swift and other Interested citi
zens protested vigorously against the coun
cil, giving the Omaha Bridge end Terminal
company Chicago street from Eleventh to
Twelfth for trackage purpoe for nothing
They pointed out that the street is paved
and to close It up with track and buildings
would Inconvenience citizens and traffic.
Attorney Balrd argued the esse of the
railway company. Mr. Swift said th. city
had given from $16,000,000 to $20,000,000 worth
of property to railway companies In the
past and that it waa now time te derive
some revenue for vacations of the kind.
Mr. Balrd replied that under condemna
tion proceedings the city could not collect
a cent and that he hoped to have the
point that the city has no right to sell
streets or alleys settled soon by ths su
