SURPRISE IN PANAMA CASE
Railroad Acted aa Agent of Canal Cornaia
ion in Baying Supplies.
NEW RULE BY THE CHIEF ENGINEER
Wltae Before Hoase Committee
aa that Cost I laereaaed by
Chaage la Speeiaeatlons
for Lnmber.
WASHINGTON. Feb. 27.-After declaring
Its Investigation of the Panama Canal Rail
road company clwed last week the special
subcommittee from the house committee on
Interstate and foreign commerce today
struck a new lead, which was pursued with
vigor. In an examination of Vice President
E. A. Drake and Alfred Anderson, pur
rhaslng agent of the road. It developed
that for six months, beginning early In
May of last year, the railroad company had
acted aa the purchasing agent for the
Isthmian canal commission, and that
total of 1215,000 worth of supplies had lieen
purchased In this manner without public
advertisement for blda.
This Is regarded as a violation of para
gruph 4 of President Roosevelt's letter o
Instructions to the commission, under date
of May 9, 1904. which makes it the duty of
the commission "to make and cause to be
executed, after due advertisement, all
necessary contracts for any and all kinds of
engineering and construction works."
In detailing to the committee how It hap
pened that the railroad had made purchases
for the commission Mr. Drake said that
shortly after the railroad property was
transferred, or after the stock had been ac
quired and Just prior to the transfer of the
road to the government. General Davis and
Major Brooke required certain supplies for
which they made requisition on Admiral
Walker, chairman of the commission.
Not Emergency Material.
'The chairman had recently been elected
director, ' he continued, "and was at the
office, and with the general Idea that the
railroad was about to no. -orris a part of the
government's property he availed himself
of its facilities for purchasing supplies."
.These were called emergency ma
terlals?" queried Mr. Townaend.
"At that tlma they were not," answered
Mr. Drake who then gave a detailed ac
count of the class of supplies purchased
a large part of which was lumber. A
hurry order from General Davis for va
rious utensils as a sueclal order was
filled.
In making these purchases the officers
of the road followed the practice w'.ilch
always had been pursued, namely, asking
bids by letter from several firms. In
this case a list of eighty-seven firms was
made up from a much larger list of firms
and all supplies bought were from these
firms. In emergency cases no bids what
ever were asked. The first $18,000 worth
of supplies were paid for directly by the
railroad, after which the commission paid
the bills.
While no Instructions were received for
the purchase of supplies from any par
ticular firms from members of the canal
commission. Mr. Drake said that the list
of firms from which bids were asked waa
Increased largely by application of others
who said they had been told by members
of the commission lo apply. Asked what
members had made such suggestions, he
mentioned Commissioners Orunsky, Harrod
and Ilecker.

of retired army officers, effecting- the pay of
General Miles, which has heretofore been a
ubject of controvessy.
The naval appropriation bill was then
laid before the senate. Senator Morgan
discussing: the proposed Increased appro
priation for the marine corps, declared
there could be no excuse for such an In
crease In times of peace.
Answering; Mr. Hide's remarks, made on
Saturday, Mr. Gorman said this adminis
tration was going beyond the policy estab
lished by England more than a century
ago and that at this. time such expenditures
were extravagant and unnecessary. lie re
ferred to the history of the English navy
when It was used to collect duties from
the American colonies, and compared It
with the position of this country In Santo
Domingo today. "I suppose If this Is to
continue," he said, "that we will soon have
our marines In all of the weaker South
American republics."
The adoption of this policy, he said, was
no doubt responsible for the increase in the
bill and that public Improvements had been
paralyzed by the big appropriations for the
army and navy. Public buildings and river
and harbor Improvements had been ut
terly sacrificed. He gave the total appro
priations for the navy during the four
years of the civil war at $314,000,000 and the
appropriations for the navy In 1901 to 1904,
Inclusive, at 13,000,000.
"The time Is close at hand," he said,
"when the people will not tolerate these
conditions at the cost of trade Interests of
the country."
Mr. McCumber said every piece of legis
lation for Internal Improvement was topped
off because the money wo needed for the
construction of mighty battleships and
dwelt on the Inconsistency of spending
money for battleships, "that will never be
used."
Mr. McCumber spoke of concessions
made to this government by England In
relation to the Clayton Bulwar treaty and
the Alaskan boundary, In spite of the fact
that England's navy was much larger than
ours.
Cost of Cruisers Limited.
The amendment provided that the limit
of . cost, exclusive of armor and arma
ment, of each of the colliers and scout
cruisers shall be $1, 450,000 was agreed to.
Mr. Carmack submitted an amendment
to reduce the number of battleships to be
provided by the bill from two to one,
and Mr. Blackburn supported the amend
ment. He said this was the first time he
had ever opposed the most liberal Increase
of the navy, but If the ships provided for
In the bill are built It would be necessary
to Increase the navy to 80,000 men In order
to man tha vessels.
Mr. Blackburn said the battleships fight
ing qualities have not been established.
Japan's destruction of the Russian navy
had not been accomplished with battle
ships. "Japan had but four. Russia had
four and where are they now? Yet they
were not destroyed by craft of their class."
Mr. Carmack moved to atrlke out one
of the battleships and Mr. Hale explained
that tha two ships waa a conservative In
crease and less than the demands of tha
general board.
Mr. Ijdge said:
I want a strong navy for one simple
reason, because I believe It Is the guarantee
of peace! In this age you cannot defend
the country with bluster and you cannot
go on theory that no one will attack us
because we sre rich and strong."
Continuing he said, that the autocracies
of Europe do not like us; that they are
all land hungry and would not refrain
from leading troops In South American
countries but for the nearness of American
fleets.
Turning his attention to one of Mr.
Hales utterances, he said:
"Something has been said about the use
of the navy to bully small powers. If a
small power does wrong because It Is
small. It la no more to o excused than u
lilg country whlrh does wrung because It
la big."
Mr. Perkins defended the battleship as

Indian Trill Taken I p.
The consideration of the Indian appro
priation bill was then bepun. The com

with the Klamath .agency Indians of Cali

When the amendment was reached, re
newing the oil leases on the Osage reser
vation In the Indian Territory, Mr. Hale
made a point of order against It. The
amendment waa defended by Messrs. Stew
art, Penrose, Depew, Teller and Quarles,
who said there waa Justice In the extension
nd it ought to be adopted. They urged
Mr. Hale to withdraw his point of order,
but he refused.
Mr. Depew said there were many people
i New York whose entire fortunes were
tied up In these leases. At his suggestion
the matter went over until tomorrow.
Mr. Hale said the Indians did not want
the leases extended.
In the course of consideration of the bill
a protracted debate took place on the ques
tion of the right of Indian allottees to
alienate property owned by them. Messrs.
Spooner, Teller, Bailey, Clapp, McCumber,
Stewart. Heyburn, Dubois and others par
ticipated, the concensus of opinion seeming
to be that Indians should not be allowed to
part with their homesteads.
The formal reading of the Indian appro
priation bill was completed, the disputed
amendments going over until tomorrow.
At 10:20 p. m. the senate went into execu

Groton of Pneumonia.
' GROTON, Mass., Pet). 27. After an ill
ness of a few days George Boutwell, for
mer governor of Massachusetts and former
United States secretary of the treasury,
died at his home here today, aged 87 years.
He was stricken with pneumonia last Fri

was unable to rally. For more than sixty
years Mr. Boutwell had been In public life;
beginning his career as a lecturer at the
age of 19. At 4 he was elected to the
Massachusetts legislature, and at 33 he was
chosen governor of the state. Although

personal friend of President Lincoln.
Mr. Boutwell was an outspoken abolition
ist. He served In the national house of

league became Its president,
which office he held to the time of his
death.
The funeral services will be held In the

W. D. Fltaaerald.
LINCOLN, Feb. 27. W. D. Fitzgerald,
proprietor of a leading dry gooda house In

tuur weens ago, senator1 Hurrows an
nounced to the attorneys for Mr. Smoot
that the evidence of the protectants against
hi? right to bold a seat In the senate was
all In and that the defense might proceed.
with the understanding that no further
evidence ag.tlnst the senator woud be pro
duced. Since that time Senator Burrows,
chairman of the committee on privileges
and elections, hss sounded the various
members of the committee a to their
sentiment lowarM tne Utah senator, and
because of his determination to ask that

Railroad Bills Shelred.
The railroad rate bill and the bill' to reg
ulate the use of private cars, which have
been agitating congress for the past two' or
three months, have been shelved for tha
session. It Is probable that within the
next year congress will take up this ques
tion of railroad control In a more Intelli
gent manner than has been attempted here
tofore, i
additional testimony be secured. It seems to Speaking of the control of private car
be evident that he is satisfied he cannot
get a report adverse to the sitting senator.
There Is no question but a majority of
the senate favors retaining Mr. Smoot In
his soat, and it seems to be a desperate ef
fort on the part of the people who are re
sponsible for the attack upon him to carry
the war into Utah during the coming sum
mer that actuates his antagonists in their
effort to reopen what was considered to be
n closed case. It is doubtful If the senate
will consent to a pro gram which contem
plates dragging this hearing along for an
other year. It is certain that a majority
of the senate thinks that the lO.Ono pages of
testimony which have already been printed
throw all the light necessary upon the
jiolltlcal conditions existing In Utah.
Italalns; Money for Journalistic Home.
During the past week or ten days repre
sentatives of the International League of
Press clubs have been In Washington In the
Interest of the proposed Journalists' home.
It Is the Intention of the Press club league
to take the initial steps towards the estab
lishment of this Institution at the annual
lines Chairman Knapp of the Interstata
Commerce commission said: : "The private
car lines per se need no regulation. It Is
the private shipper who owns his own car
and who receives a rebate from the rail
roads for the use of tbe same that heeds
attention. There Is no reason why privets
companies should not own railroad equip,
ment. which they may lease out to the rail,
roads and. In fnct. it would appear that
such equipment companies are essential to
the shipping Interests."
