Canal Commissioners v. ,Have Resigned. DONE BY REQUEST OF TAFT President Wants Free Hand in Reorganizing. Will APPOINT SEVEN MEN All..' Commissioners in Washington . ;Comply with Request, Which Is Cabled ' to Governor Davis New Deal Soon. WASHINGTON, March S9. The first practical step having in view the re organization of the Panama Canal Com mission teas taken today, when, in com pliance with instructions from President Roosevelt, Secretary Taft requested the members of the commission' to tender tholr resignations. This request was promptly complied with by the members of the commission now in Washington and their resignations will be in the hands of the President tomorrow. The purport of Mr. Tail's letter re questing tho resignations of the commis sioners was sent to Major-General George W. Davis, retired, of the Army, Governor of the canal zone, and also one of the members of the commission, and a prompt answer is expected from him. As" Indicated in the letter of Mr. Taft, the resignations are requested In order that the President may have a free hand in reorganizing the commission. That the President has contemplated reorganiza tion has been known for some time and he has been In consultation with Mr. Taft as to" his future policy in choosing its personnel and directing its work. It was believed originally that better re sults might be accomplished by the ap pointment of a smaller commission than that now existing, but a recent opinion of Attorney-General Moody held that under the law. the President was re quired to name seven members in all. The appointments probably will be an nounced during the progress of his Southern trip. The members of the- present commis sion, in addition to General Davis, are Rear-Admiral John G. Walker, of the Navy, 'retired, chairman; William Bar clay Parsons, William H. Burr, Benjamin M. Harrod and C. Ewald Grunsky, the last four being civil engineers. Following Is the text of the. Secretary's letter: "The President directs me to ask tho members of the commission to hand in their resignations in order that he may have a. iree hand in reorganizing the commission. Please wire General Davis, requesting that his resignation be forwarded." to communications that passed- between Mr. Armstrong and n"tr mother that sho simply signed the documents without any clear knowledge of the transaction.

Loeb & Co., and that therefore he bad violated the law forbid ding participation In such transaction by a director of an Insurance company. Mr. Schlft said: "It mustnot be expected that I shall dignify by any defense of my firm's po sition the wild allegations made and which have no basis In fact. Suffice It to say that my firm has recently sub mitted to different eminent counsel the transactions it has made heretofore in the Bqultable and has been advised by all of these counsel that in their opinion no reason exists why these dealings should be discontinued and similar trans actions as heretofore not be made in the future." , At the office of James B.

Richards Ready for Investigation. OMAHA. March 29. W. A. Richards. .the Commissioner of the General Land Office, passed through Omaha today, en route to Wyoming to visit his daugh Jters. Respecting the report from Washington that his office iras to be investigated with regard to promotion of olerks, he said he bad no knowledge of anything .of the kind, but would have no objection to it. During his ad ministration of the Land Office promo tions had been made solely on merit, in accordance 'with the requirements of the civil service. Some olerks had been reduced because of their Inability to oarn the salaries which 'they were receiving-, and some of these were probably responsible for the false re port or an investigation.

Startlinn Revelations are Promised About Get-Rich-Quick Concerns. PHILADELPHIA. March 29.-J. Hector McNeal, receiver of the Provident Invest. ment Bureau, stated today that before the end of the week Federal officials, assisted by the receivers of the Storey Cotton Company and the Provident Investment Bureau, expect to have In their possession evidence of a widespread conspiracy to defraud the public through the medium of "get-rich-quick" concerns. Mr. Mc Neal said: "We have just come Into information which leads us to believe that the Provl dent Investment Bureau was only a part of a huge conspiracy and that Its opera tions covered only a small part of a Held which was designed to embrace the whole country. "According to our Information, when the scheme was devised It was recognized that the Illegality of the transaction It had In view made It probable that some one of the concern might take French leave with most of the profits. A written agreement was therefore drawn up and signed by all. The possibility that any one of the com pany might be prosecuted by the author! ties made it Inadvisable to have copies of the contract where Federal officials might find them. Only one copy was made, and It was given In charge of man whose trustworthiness could be re lied upon. This man we have seen, but he de nies all knowledge of such a document. We expect to have the paper in two or three days, and its disclosures, we be 11 eve, will be of a startling nature." , BRIEF TELEGEAPEIC HEWS.
