OREGON STATE ITENS OF INTEREST
Shonts Will Give Entire Attention to
His Railroad
Chicago, March 19.—A Washington
special says:
Information from trustworthy sources
makes it seem practically assured that
Theodore Perry Shonts, of Chicago,
chairman of the Isthmian Canal com­
mission, intends soon to send his resig­
nation to President Roosevelt. It is
unquestionably the intention of I resi­
dent Roosevelt to nominate John F.
Stevens, the chief engineer, to succeed
Mr. Shonts. Mr. Stevens will combine
the duties of the two offices.
Pressure from his associates on the
railroad with which Mr. Shonts is con­
nected has been strong for some time to
bring about this result—his return to
railroad work and his resignation from
the canal board.
Mr. Shonts had
withstood the pleas of his business as­
sociates, but recent events have induced
him to consent.
Mr. Shonts is still president of the
Clover Leaf railroad, and it is said that
the interests of that road, in the mind
of his colleagues, demand that he
return and take active charge of the
property. It is said he owns securi­
ties in the road to the value of about
$ 3 , 000 , 000 , and, in the interest of
these holdings, as well as the holdings
of others, it is declared that he feels he
must no longer divide time and his
labor.
There has been no secret that the re­
lations between Secretary Taft and
Chairman Shonts have been strained at
times. They are probably today not of
the most amicable nature. It is prob­
able that Mr. Taft will succeed to the
vacancy in the United 8 tates Supreme
court caused by the resignation o' Jus­
tice Brown, but will not take his seat
before next October. Mr. Taft has his
own views about the canal work, which
are not in accord with those of Mr.
Shonts.
When Mr. Taft goes to the Supreme
court, it is the intention of President
Roosevelt to turn the supervision of
the canal over to Secretary Root’s de­
partment. The secretary of war de­
sires to arrange the construction plans
to suit his own judgment before the
transfer is made.
