MINISTER T0 CHINA CRANE DEPOSED Demand from Secretary of State Knox ; Resignation. CRANE ENTERS SWEEPING DENIAL Of Charge that He “ Gave Out” a Newspaper Story which was Considered in Diplomatic Circles an Indiscrect “Disclosure—He -Places Upon the President’s Shoul- ders the Responsibility for Utterances e Has Made. ‘Washington, Oct., 13.—Charles R, Crane of Chicago, minister designate to China, today was practically deposed by a demand from Secretary Knox for his resignation. - *Administration Embarrassed. Thus a new chapteér in American 'di- plomacy was written. A citizen chosen tions for the post was recalled before he had embarked from San Francisco and_diseharged _from his high office because of al indiscreet disclosures chrough the press. MmOGXFr, this min- ister, breaking through-all the old tra- ditions, insisted: on’ defending: himself from the aspersions cast upon him by the secretary of state by the issuance of a statement which most people hera comment upon as .certain to be very embarrassing to the administration. First Crisis Reached; Yesterday. The history of this extraordinary af- fair. which began about a week ago with the announcement that Minister Crane had been stopped at San Fran- cisco, the moment\ of embarkation for his_post by & demand from Secre- tary Knox for his return to Washing- ton, reached at least its first crisis soon after noon today, when the secretary in @ formal statement announced that Mr. Crane’s resignation had heen invited, and the minister designate: replied in an equally formal statement that while his resignation already had been ten- dered to the president, he felt himself very unjustly treated. Moreover, Mr. Crane in his statement-reflected very severely upon officials of the state de- partment, charging that not only had they refrained from giying him the in- »tructions usually issued to a minister or ambassador about to leave for his vost,-but thdt he Ha® been denied ac- cess to-them"even after he had made repeated appointments with them. Blames President Taft. « He enters a sweeping denial of the charge that he “gave .out” a newspaper st which is said .to be the cause of his deposition and places squarely upon the shoulders of President Taft the re- sponzibility for the varfous utterances he hms wade regarding conditions in the far,éast which have aroused the ire of Secretary Knox and for final ac- tion upen his resignation. MR_. CRANE’'S STATEMENT. Deposed ' Minister States the Lesson 7 of His Offending. Washington, Oct.. 12. sigtement is as follows: “The statement issued by the de- pariment of state is slightly inac- curate in saying that the secretary has informed me that my. resignation will be-accepted. The letter which 1 re- ceived from Mr. Knox at noon today #4¥s that he has recommended to the president that ‘the president accept sy resignation. : Before this letter had béen received. by me, T had aiready aent to the president, through his secretary, Mr. Carpenter,. the follow- ing telegra ) Crane’s Telegram to Taft. “ "Washington, D. C.. Oct. 12, 1909, “‘President William H. Taft: “‘The state department, objects to certain things I have done in the effort to Carry out my understanding of your wishes as expressed by you to me. 1 have carefully considered the entire matter. . In my judgment no mistake has beén made except as the department has made it a mistake. However, I did not and cannot guaran- tee to make no mistakes, especially wnless 1 bave the co support and co-operation of 'the ment. © The manner in whieh the department: has proceeded and is. proceeding is incon- sistent with my own Tespect and my conception of the ‘dignity of the po-(tionmn:d‘ ith the ‘Imfl;ntnnfllnz upen whicl epted 1t.

Change of Route Decided Upon. The difficulty has also been increased by the absence of specific instructions from the state department and of any adequate discussion with its officials With. special regard for his qualifica- } as to the policy of this government. I have been much gratified that no crit— icism had come to me from any official source until I was recalled to Wash- ington last week. With the previous approval of the president 1 had arranged to go to China by way of Europe so that I might have conferences with well informed and in- fluential persons of widely divergent interests and points of view, and I had made many valuable appointments. It was then suggested by Mr. Knot that 4t would be better for me to proceed by way of the Pabific. s Contrary to my understanding that this matter should be fully discussed with the president in conference with Secretary Knox, the secretary informed me that it would be unnecessary to see the president, and that I should pro- ceed by way of Japan. It was then agreed that I should sail on Oct. 5 with the minister to Japan. 1 was told that letters would be given to me and arrangements made for see- ing important persons in Japan. I have not since then seen Secretary Knox except on last Sunday, nor have 1 had ‘any adequate discussion with the department as to its poli before the date set for my departure L came to Washington and with consid- erable difficulty made & number of ap- pointments with the first assistant sec- retary of state, no one of which did he keep nor explain his failure to. keep. No papers, not even my official cre- dentfals, were ready for me when [ left “Washington for San Franecisco, | with fust time to catch the steamer. 1 have not examined the papers from the state department which reached me in San Francisco after the secretary’s telegram recalling me to Washington. As I was hurriedly leaving Wash- ington a representative of an important paper asked me about the China-Japan agreement aig) 1 said thgt the matter was under consideratiolfas was well Xknown, but that no decision had been reached, and 1 may have said. though 1 do not recall if, that obviously no statement would be prepared in the ab- sence of Mr. Hoyt. 1 advised him to get thoroughly informed upon the whole subject, as it would be of the greatest impartance. that it be handled intelligently by the American press if ‘official action wera takeh. No Exciuse for Secretary of Sta [ onal Action. This 18 the sum of my offending, On mature consideration it is my judg- ment that my action was in accord- ance with the spirit at least of the president’'s wishes expressed by him to me and that it furnishes no sufficient excuse for the sensational and incon- siderate_action of the secretary of state. However, I did.not seek this post and am absolutely unwilling to remain in it without the entire con- fidence of the president and the cordial support of the government. Washington, ~ Oct. _12.—Secretary Knox absolutely declined to discuss the statement of Mr, Crane, regarding the incident as closed, while' Assistant Sec- retary Huntington Wilson, who Is jus: recovering from a severe surgical op- eration, said he was wholly upac- quainted with the latest developments in the case, including Mr. Crane's ref- erences-to his failure to keep appoint- ments with him. President Approves Knox's Action. Colton, Cal,, Oct. 12.—Before leaving here tonight President Taft received a. cipher message from Washington of 500 words. It is sald to deal with the case of Minister Crane. While no one on the president's train will discuss the matter in any wav it is known that whatever action Secre- tary Krox has taken or recommends in the matter will be approved by the president.
