DEFIED 'IN CANAL INQUIRY 'His |Inquisitor Displays Much Asperity in the Examination of the Witness. o o ernment of the canal zone, Much bit to answer questions put by the aged I Senator Morgan of Alabama and Willlam Nelson Cromwell yesterday contlnued their tilt before the committe¢ that is investigating the gov- terness way shown by both the in- quisitor and the witness, and Cromwell repeatedly refused point Bllilk_ statesman. WASHINGTON, Feb. 27.—~Willlam Nel- son Cromwell and Senator Morgan meas- ured legal mirids all day before the Sen- ate committee on interoceanic canals, and in' a drewn battle adjourned until tomor- row. Morgan pursued the witness re- lentlessly concerning his relations with the Panama - Canal Company, asking many skiliful questions, which were as skiiifully evaded. Cromwell drew a line between his actions since the transfer of | the canal property. to the United States |and the transfer and declined -positively {to answer any questions concerning the earlier period. At the close of the day Morgan had:brought out a scheme for the Americanization of the Panama Canal Company’ ‘which promised to provide the | subject for an interesting examination. Senator Morgan put into the record a letter written by Cromwell to Wallace, arranging for the interview which took place “at the Hotel Manhattan in New | York when Wallace informed Secretary | | Taft of his desire to resign his position as chief engineer. Morgan demanded to know of Crom- | well what payments had -been made to |nim from the new Panama Canal Com- | pany. Cromwell agserted that the infor- | mation demanded was of'a confidential character and involved the relations of counsel and client. Morgan insisted and | many sharp passages ensued. Finally | Cromwell said that while he did not | think it. any business of the Benators making the inquiry, he would state .that the total payments made to him would not exceed. $200,000. That was all he had irecefved. Out of the $40,000,000 paid’ by | this Governmient -he had received nothing, {but he added that hé had not rendered | his account for services.- FLATLY REFUSES TO ANSWER. Continuing, Cromwell said he did not think the country could be interested in his private relations as counsel to the {new Panama Canal Company. I think it is,” said Morgan. “You may monopolize the opinion of the country, but I don't think you do,” replied Cromwell, and then, the question | concerning funds he had rcceived from the French Canal Company being com- | pleted, he declined emphatically, upon the ground that he would not divulge professional secrets. Morgan called for the revised statutes and read the provision in relation to pro- | tectlon of -witnessés calléd before Cof- | gressional committees. He asked the wit- | ness if he persisted in his refusal. Crom- well replied: “It is beyond the-purvigw .of the com- mittee to make this inquiry, and I decline to answer.” Morgan" said he reserved the right to | determine the materlality of the question, and proceeded with the examination. Reading questions which had been sub- | mitted t6 him to be propounded, Morgan called upon the witness to state what had | been the gross sums received from the old or new Panama Canal Company since the payment to J. P. Morgan & Co., New York bankers, of the money Involved in the transfer of the property to the United States, from syndicates, from the United States, the republic of Panama or from any source whatsoever.

Cromwell said he had not received one dollar of the $40,000,000 pald to the new Panama Canal Company, but would ren- der his final bill in due course, and that it would be substantial and would be paid. He said He had not received from the re- public of Panama a single cent, and had received no benefit, directly or indirectly, from the sale of the property; that he had not been interested in the securities of either the cld or the mew Panama Canal Company, and that his whole rela- tion to the new canal company was that of counsel and his sole compensation had been as such. [ After this reply had been made Morgan asked the witness why he objected to making a similar statement of his rela- tions to the canal company prior to the transfer of the property. The witness said he did not think it pertinent. “‘Suppose the committe: decides that it is pertinent?"” asked Morgan. "I adhere to the answer I have made,” replied Cromwell. PAID FOR PROFESSIONAL SERVICES Questioned concerning the manner in whieh the $200,000 had been pald, Crom- well said the payments were a ‘‘small matter of $10,000 or $15000 a year,” and that the payments extended over several vears. Asked what services he had ren- deted to earn the $200,000, Cromwell said that professtonal secrets were involved in the inquiry and that he should be com- pelled to decline to reply. . ‘‘Read that question,” said Morgan to the stenographer. “I will get an answer if I can.” kx "I am unable to specify-the services,” said Cromwell “As I said, it approxi- mated $10,000 or $15000 a year. I called upon the company for money as I needed it. My clients are satisfied.” “‘Were the payments for professional | services only?” Morgan asked. “For professional services, office ex- penses and matters connécted with' their busingss. I remember: I employed an engineer—"" . “What was his name?” interrupted the | Senator. “E. L. Corthell.” 110, ““Corthell, eh! I have been expecting he would break in here somewhere,” said Morgan. “He is a very excellent engineer,” be- gan the witness, but he was stopped by Morgan, who sald sharply: “We're not asking you for any eulogies on this man.” SENATOR KNOX TAKES A HAND. Continuing his inquiry, Morgan asked the witness what money he had in his control which belonged to the republic of Panama. Cromwell made - a detailed statement concerning his appointment as fiscal commissioner for Panama and the investment in New York securities of about $6,000,000, which wag set aside by the republic as a trust fund. Morgan seeming to question the wisdom of the investment, nator Knox asked Crom- well if it were not true that the United States, feeling a p interest in the fu- ture of the republic, had advised the in- vestment of this money In securities equal to those authorized for investments of savings banks under the laws of New York “That is absolutely true,” said Crom- well. “It was you and the President of the United States who advised me to make this investment.” o “I did not intend to bring out this fact,” said Knox. ‘‘Are you under bond as fiscal commis- sioner?” asked Morgan. “The Panama republic does not feel it S hecesgary to put me under bond. I hope you do not,” replied Gromwell. “I don't,” said the Senator. “I don't think it would do any good if I did.” The witness then said he had declined compensation from the republic of Pan- ama, but that his.firm had received about $26,000 through the investigation of titles o property in which the republic had in- vested. These payments, he said, were made by the owners of the property. TWO COLLEAGUES CLASH. He was asked to describe the relations between this Government and J. P.

CALL RUREAU, -POST BUILDING,; WASHINGTON, Feb. 2I.—Through Secre- tary of War Taft, President Roosevelt has promulgated an address to the army and navy, in which he quotes Admiral Togo of the Japanese navy. The address has amazed not only those to whom it is directed, but the entire diplomatic corps. To the latter it savors-very strongly of the speeches the ~Gérman Emperor $o often makes to his military foreés. In every word of it rings the war note, and nothing during the present administration of surprises has caused more conjecture. Many diplomats see in it an exaltation of Japan at the expense of Russia, and | predict that the results of its- publieation cannot be predicted in 4 day. Meanwhile the address has gone out in the form of a general order to both branches of the service and will be read on every ship of the navy and at every post of the army. The speech of Admiral Togo which is quoted was made on December 21, at the close of the Russo-Japanese war, at the review of the fleet which had helped Togo to deal the greatest naval blow of the | century. It is filled with exultation, but underlying it is a tone of reflection which culminates in his final words: “Tighten your helmet strings in the hour of vic- tory.” In that speech Admiral Togo touched lightly on the hardships of the year and g half in which the Japanese had been ghting the Russians, but dwelt at length on the necessity of preparedness to pre- serve the fruits of war. The portion of the address of Admiral Togo quoted by the President follows: The Wwar of twenty months' duration is now a thing of the past, and our united squadron, having completed its functions, is to be farth- with dispersed. But our dutles as naval men are not at all lightened for that reason. To preserve in perpetuity the fruits of this war, o promote to ever greater helght of prosperity the fortunes of the country, the pavy, whieh, irrespective of peace or war, has (o stand between the empire and shocks from abroad, must always maintain its strength at sea and must be prepared to meet any emergency. This strength does not consist wholly in ships and armaments, it consists alo in material ability to utllize such agents. When we understand that one gun which scores 100 per cent of hits is a match for one hundred of the ememy's guns, each of which scores 1 per cent, it becomes evident that we sallors must have' recourse before everything to the strength which is over and above externals. The triumphs recently won by our navy are largely to be attributed to the habitual training which enabled us to garner the fruits of the fighting. If, them, we Infer the future from the past, we recognize that though we may cease, we cannot. ‘abandon ourselves to ease and rest. To a soldfer, while life Is one continuous and unceasing battle, there Is no reason . why his responsibilities should vary with' the state of the times. In days of crises he has to display -his strength; in days of peace to acoumulate it, thus perpetually discharging his dutled fo the full. ¥ men calling them- selves saHors grasp at the pleasures of péace they willilearn the lesson that, however fine in appearance their engines of war, those like & house built on the sand will fall at the first approach of the-storm. When in anclent times we conquered Korea that country remained over 400 vears under our control, only to be lost immediately so soon as our navy declined. Again, when under the sway of the Tokugawa in modern days our armaments were neglected, the comin of a few American ships threw us into dis- tress. On the other hand the British navy which won the battles of the Nile and of Trafalgar not only made England as secure as a great mountain, but also by thenceforth carefully maintaining its strength and keeping it on a level with the world's progress has ment of Justice to Paris. Knox inter- rupted, saying: “J object-to the witness answering that question.” He looked directly at Mr. Morgan and continued: “1 take the responsibility for that ac- tion. I will answer that question if you care to put me upon the stand.” “I will call you to the stand if you de- sire it,”’ interrupted Morgan. “I don’t,” saild Knox, “but as I am re- sponsible for that matter I don't care to have another witness interrogated con- cerning it.” Morgan explained that his intention had been to bring out a statement from the witness as to the necessity of sending the money to Paris Instead of paying for the property by Government warrant. Knox said he had no objection to the ex- amination of the witness on that subject. EXPLAINS UNDER PROTEST. At the afternoon session of the com- mittee Cromwell testified concerning the distrjbution of the $40,000,000 paid by the United States to the French com- pany and of the claims of Colombia for payments on stock held by that Gov- ernment to the value of 5,000,000 franes. Cromwell saldjthat the French' Gov- ernment, under its taxing system, had impounded that stock. . Under protest Cromwell explained at length the procedure undef which the directors of the Panama Railroad were qualified to serve after the sale of the property to the United States. He said that an arrangement was entered into with each of the thirteen directors by which one share each was made over to the United States, upon small pay- ments to legalize the' transaction, but that these shares were held by the Treasurer of the United States and the Government had therright to demand their surrender in name as well as in fact at any time. Morgan asked a score of more ques- tions concerning the -appointment of Roger L. Farnham as a director of the road, but Cromwell insisted that the appointment had been made by the Secretary of War, and that he had not suggested it to the Secretary. Morgan again took up the subject of Cromwell's services to the Panama Canal Company and what he had done to earn the $200,000 he said he had re- coived. After refusing to answer ques- tions put to him in a variety of forms, all' bearing on the same subject, Crom- well said he did not believe the com- mittee' had the power to go into the -subject. J WITNESS DEFIES COMMITTEE. Morgan then had read an agreement between Cromwell and the new Panama Canal Company, which embodied a plan for the Americuniz: ‘ion of the Panama canal. This w: dated November 21, 1599. Cromwel! said that it was mot a contract, but merely a power of attor- ney that had been given him and a matter that had not matured into any- thing. He declined to say whether he had drawn it = Cromwell 8aild that he did not want to be harsh, but that he should de- cline to go any further into a discus- sion of the affairs of the Panama Canal Company. Disregarding Cro ell's objections, Morgan pursued thé subject as to whether Cro:nwell had incorporated the Panama Canal Company of America under the laws of New Jersey. He said after Cromwell had refused to answer that heé could produce the record to ‘show that this had been done, and that Cromwell was one of the incorporators. z c ADVERTISEMENTS, ‘Big Merger Sale OF PIANOS Sacrifice of Stock of Large ...Los Angeles Concern... @ Last week business and branch we boughtthe entire stocks, stores of the Met- ropelitan Music Co. of Los Angeles, and ‘the San Diego Music taking over in the d New Pianos, part of Co. of San Diego, eal Four Hundred which were in stock and part in transit from Eastern factories.

The commission holds that the combina~ tion rates on petroleum -and its produets frem Cleveland and Pittsburg to poimts reached by the New York, New Haven and Hartford Rallroad Company result in un- reasonable and unjust charges; that the refusal of the New York, New Haven and Hartford Company te consent to partiei- pate in through rates in that trafiic is un- just and unreasonable, and that the situ- ation is such as to operate greatly to the advantage of the Standard Oil C Y.
