Depend upon me for that.” General Search Without Result. The anxiety of Mr. Crowninshield increased when, on Tuesday, Wolfe had not returned, and, assisted by sev- eral academicians, the director search. ed the prisons, hospitals, lunatic asy: lums, art schools in Rome and even the lodge of Free Masons. The search, however, was without result. When, today, Wolfe still was absent, Director Crowninshield announced his disappearance to the police, who spread descriptions of the student through- out the capital with orders that a most thorough search for him be made. When he disappeared Wolfe took with him no other clothes than those he wore. Rather Too Credulous. ‘Wolfe does not speak Italian.

Boston, Feb. 10.—Former United States Secretary of State Olney, who recently joined other leading men - of the country in a declaration of reasons why the Panama canal should not be fortified, in a statement made today indicated that:hé is unconvinced that any such fortifieation was contemplat- ed by the amended Hay-Pauncefoote treaty. c What Hay-Pauncefoote Treaty Meant. “If the intent of the treaty,” said Mr. Olney, *“was that .the United States shall have the ri to fortify the canal or protect it military police or otherwise, why S not it ex=- pressed? If the Un States meant to take and Greal in meant to concede the abs ership and control of the can: What was the occasion or the sense of its asking Great Britain to agree to, and of Great Britain’s conceding-the right of mili- tary policing of the canal? With. all due deference to the opinion of Presi- dent Taft and others, I am still of the opinion that the United States, much to its credit, has constituted itself | trustee of this international waterway and, as evidence of its good faith and sincerity, has stipulated that it will police the canal against la Sness and disorder without reserving to i self the ht to fortify the canal as if it were its own abselute property.” Former Secretary of the -Navy. In a_statement also made public to- #ay, John D. Long, former United States secretary of the navy, concern- ing the canal, says > “I think that a naval force at each end of the Panama canal is the proper and sufficient protection, together with an adequate military garrison on shore. The extensive ‘fortifications’ suggested are not necessary. The danger is not from the large powers, to whom the canal {8 nearly as Importants as to us, to whom also the destruction of the canal would be no advantage, even as a war measure, and who, I believe, would regard Lru.t! stipulations for its neutrality, The danger is from less responsible powers and irresponsible individual parties, against whom the above protection would be sufficient and indeed better adapted than the proposed’ fortifications. No Adequats Public Formed. Edwin D. Mead, an associate of Will- iam D. Howells, Nicholas Murray But- ler, John Graham Brooks, Bliss Perry and others, in protesting against the proposed policy of fortification, today expreased the bellef that, the idea had been so suddenly sprung wupon the country and had been so superficially discussed, that no proper or adequate public opinion had yet been formed.

He said he made the answer to the crit- icism diracted against the measure presumably on the part of the farm- ers. Unite Coantries- With 'Kindred People. As for himself, the president said, he felt- that the undoubted general Dbenzfit of the agreement would entirely vindicate those who are responsible for it. The greatest reason for. the adop- tion of the agreement, he argued, is that it will unite two countries with kindred people, living together .across ioc;{u union to the great advantage of oth. “Such -a result,” added the president “does not need to be justified by & nice balancing of a pecuniary profit to each.” Mr. Taft's address, the .first of his present trip into the middle west, was delivered at the national corn exposi- tion in the Auditorium at the state fair grounds. It was because of the agri- cultural character of his surroundings and the presence of a great many of the influential farmers in this section that he chose to champion the proposed agreement from the standpoint of the agriculturist. : Great-Crowd to Hear the Address. The Auditorium, which has a seat- ing capacity of more than 4.000, w. crowded to overflowing. The crush about the doors was so great that the services of a score. of policemen were called for. . Mr. Taft's address was listened te apparently with the dsepest interest, and he was warmly applauded at in- tervals. The president’s speech was not framed merely as a popular appeal to a class, but consisted tn large part of figures in substantiation of definite general claims. President Taft will press his reci- procity eampaign in Illinois tomor- row. ¥ Handicapped by Cold and Sore Throat: Owiag to-a severe cold and sore throat, the president was compelled to ent a part’ of the programme outlined for nim in this_city.
