THE MOItXING OREGONIAX, SATURDAY. FEBRUARY 13, 1909. NOT ONE CENT OF GRAFT ON CANAL Taft Challenges ' Critics to Produce Evidence of Wrongdoing. FAVORS DEEP WATERWAY 1'resitlent-clect Tells People of Xew Orlouns Pressure Needed to Get Action by Congress on Bond Issue. NEW ORLEANS, Feb. 12. Declaring that every cent spent on the Panama Canal had been expended in the Interest of the Government and that not one dol lar had been traced to graft. President elect Taft tonight challenged the critics of the Government to produce evidence to the contrary. Speaking at the Creole banquet, he approved the plan to issue bonds for the construction of the Liakes-to-GuIf waterway. Mr. Taft devoted this morning to the negro race and this afternoon to leisure. Tonight he w-a the guest of honor at the Creole banquet given at the Grunewald Hotel. A thousand citizens paid the as sessment of $25 each for places at the board and considerably over iralf of these were present. Although conferences during the day were held between Mr. Taft and Mr. Hitchcock, his Postmaster-General, and Assistant Treasurer Cpham of the CNa ttonat Re-pobllcan Committee, nothing definite was obtainable regarding the un decided places in the Cabinet. Last Golf Game for Months. This afternoon the city's distinguished guest pent his time at the Country Club, which not only afforded the opportunity for a select luncheon party, in which arrs. Taft -was also a participant, but a chance for -what will doubtless be the last game of golf air. TaCt will indulge in for many months.' Mr. and Mrs. Taft will leave here for Cincinnati at 9:20 o'clock tomorrow morning, arriving in the latter city at 1:45 P. M. Sunday. Monday afternoon Mr. Taft will start for Washington. Governor J. Sanders, responding to the toast, Louisiana," at the banquet to night, after extending a hearty welcome to Mr. Taft, spoke in favor of the fed eral Government's assuming the main tenance of the levee system of the Mis sissippi River and some of its tribu taries. Cardinal Gibbons, who pronounced the Invocation, said: "The people of the United States have chosen for President a man whose devo tion to his country is not restricted by state lines or by sectional bias, but who loves his fellow-cltlzens, whether they come from the East or West. North or South, who will be President of the whole Nation." It was after midnight when Mr. Taft was introduced to speak as "one we ex pect more of than any other President Ohio ever has given to this country-" As to the deep waterway, Mr. Taft said he had been asked if Congress would consider the JuOO.000,000 bond issue at the extra session. "I have. to say," he remarked, with deliberation, "that Congress will consider at its extra session what Congress chooses to consider." lie made it clear, however, that he was earnestly interested In the river im provement. He gave his express ap proval of the bond issue, but indicated that it could hardly be looked for with out strong and earnest public sentiment to Impress the plan of Congress. Mr. Taft repeated his words of the dys before regarding the Panama Canal. The Hay-IIerron treaty. Mr. Taft re marked, gives the United States the right to exercise aH the functions of sover eignty on the canal zone. Without the riiriit and Its vigorous exercise. Mr. Taft f:iid. our progress on the work would be years behind what it now is. Xo Graft In Canal. Since Congress decided four years ago to build the present type of canal, he declared, nothing had occurred to change the plHns. He regretted what he termed "unfounded criticism." The cost wns to b greater than originally estimated, he raid, but the amount of excavation had been Increased 50 per cent. The locks had boen made larger at the- request of the Navy, "because we am building the c:?ial to double the efficiency of our Navy-" "With a full understanding of the weight of the words 1 use. I wish to say, and to challenge any evidence to the contrary." said Mr. Taft with great em phasis, "that the mony which has been expended on that canal, every dollar and every cent of It. has been expended in the Interest of the Government and not one dollar has been traced to graft In any way." , To change the type of the canal now would, he said, "be to dishearten the splendid corps of workers on the Isthmus with disastrous results." He concluded with a warm tribute to Colonel Goethals, in charge of the work. In his address to the negroes this after noon Mr. Taft declared his desire to "be the President of all the people," and adding that he wanted to make a plain, common sense, nonpolitlcal talk, told Ms hearers that their past history had been remarkable in showing their ca pacity to develop, that their futures de pended not on emotionalism, but on In dividual character, which meant hard work and thrift. To make themselves in dispensable to the people of the com munity In which they live, was. he de clared, with emphasis, the only final so lution of the problem which they gained. As to the dealing with crime he said that If the negro wanted a square deal in that respect he must be willing to give a square deal and be as earnest anil xealoua In the punishment of the crimes of the negro as any others.

A series of six at- taeks upon women and girls has set the southeastern and eastern districts of Berlin In a state of panic Three women were attacked Tuesday evening by a man who used a sharp Instrument, be lieved to be a large awl. wounding them on the lower portions of their bodies. One of his victims bled to death and the others wereaadly wounded. On Wednes day there were two similar assaults on girls. This afternoon. In the vicinity of Lteh tenberg. another girl was attacked In the same manner, but she warded oft the weapon with her hand, which was se verely cut. . Her cries- of alarm brought an excited crowd, members . of which, suspecting that the criminal had taken I reiuge in a neiguuwi nig uwuar, c-m ........ 1 it from cellar to roof. Their efforts to find the stabber were unsuccessful. A dozen men were arrested, but all were released on establishing alibis. This evening an armed youth about 20 years old was taken Into custody. Two of the victims of the stabber. declared they recognized him as their assailant, and he was detained. Ml fot mm ALIVE JOHNSON KEADY FOR MATCH IF ENOUGH INDUCEMENT. On Eve of Leaving Australia, Cham pion Declares Himself Jef fries' Match. MELBOURNE. Feb. 12. "I am willing to fight James J. Jeffries, Tommy Bums or any other man alive, in . England, America, Australia or any part of the civilized world where sufficient induce ments are offered." This was the farewell- message of Jack Johnson, the champion heavyweight pugi list, on the eve of his departure for the United States. A fight for the champion ship, however, must be deferred for some months, as it is Johnson's purpose tirst to fulfill a theatrical engagement in Lon don and go on for a limited round bout before the National Sporting Club In that city with Sain Langford. Johnson leaves here tomorrow for Syd ney to catch the steamer Makura which will sail next Monday for Vancouver, at which port she is due about March 12. From Vancouver Johnson will proceed to Galveston. Tex., where he will Bpend a week with his parents. "I will do no boxing or other business In the United State when I arrive there and I have given no authority for the statement that has been published that I will then fight Stanley Ketchel," John son said. "I understand that Jeffries had definitely said that he would never re enter the ring. If, however, Jeffries has decided to accept the purse of J75.000 of fered by Sam Allen, of Melbourne, for a match In Australia with me. I am willing to return here in 12 months more and give him a chance to win the title he onco held." DENVER KINDS NEW FIGHTER AVlndebank, Soldier, Outclasses All , Opponents In Ring. DENVER, Feb. 12. The final bouts, in the Rocky Mountain boxing and wrestling' tournament tonight at the Denver Athletic Club were stiffly con tested. " H. Wlndebank. the soldier from Fort Logan, was the find of the tour nament. He fought two three-round bouts In the 125-pound class last night and clearly outclassed his opponents In both bouts. Harry Loeb put up a stiff argument In the final of the 105 pound boxing bout against Joe Aller, but Aller's right shift proved too much for the more experienced man. The fact that R. Lafaver broke his hnnd in the preliminary bout with Joe Linn Wednesday night gave Linn the middleweight championship. RAPS PRESIDENT'S CRITICS LODGE' JUDGES PRESENT BY LINCOLN'S EXPERIENCE. Says Executive May Know More Than Critics States Must Not Imperil Foreign Relations. BOSTON, Feb. 12 The tribute of Massa chusetts to the memory of Abraham Un coln today was as spontaneous as that which marked the prompt response to his call for troops In ISM. While not a general holiday, there were gatherings of patriotic citizens In nearly every city and town. The proceedings in the State House In this city were held in the House of Representatives In which both branches had assembled!. Senator Henry Cabot Lodge was the speaker of the day. Mr. Lodgo referred to the abuse which was hurled at Lincoln by both the ex treme anti-slavery men and the advo cates of slavery, and said of these ex periences: Mr: Lodge declared that no state should be given a right to disregard a treaty made by the United States or to so act as to bring war upon the Nation. He said: The peopls of the United States will not 1on sutler their- forelcn relations to be imperil! or permit the peace of the country to be put In Jeopardy, because some one state does not choose to submit to the action of the General Government in a mat ter with which the General Government alone can deal. BILL MINER WAS SET FREE Startling Charges Made In Ottawa House of Commons. ' IBTOLLINGHAM'. Feb. 12. A Herald spe cial from Ottawa, Canada, says in the House of Commons yesterday J. D. Tay lor, member of Parliament for New West minster, B. C. made some startling dis closures lor the edification of the House regarding the escape of Bill Miner, train robber, serving life sentence, from the New Westminster penitentiary. In the Fall of 1907. Taylor declared that Miner had been visited by detectives on several occasions prior to his escape, and subse quent to these visits and prior to the es cape. Miner was allowed to let his hair and moustache grow. The Minister of Justice admitted the visits of the detectives and explained that they were endeavoring to trace a number of valuable bonds which Miner had taken when he held up a Canadian Pacific Rail road train at Mission, B. C, In ISO. He repudiated Taylor's suggestion that Miner had beon shown the door and told to go in safety if he would undertake to dis close the hiding place of the bonds. Mr. Taylor demanded an Investigation by persons outside the Department, de claring the penitentiary Inspectors were in on the deal. The Minister of Justice declared almost every officer connected with the prison at the time of the escape had been removed. Marriage License. tVREPB-BlT.ET llrt TVrode. Vancou ver.

MAY GRAIN ABOVE $1.13 Some Authorities Confident, How ever, That Large Invisible Sup ply Will Come Out at Lat Minute. (Continued from First Page.) which, with less confidence in the future, the farmers would be likely to snap at. Just how much of the indifference of the producers of wheat in the surplus states Is to be charged up to sincere belief in an actual shortage of world supply, and how much to the faith that Patten will be able to carry his bull cam paign to the end successfully, there Is no means of knowing. Certain it is, how ever, as manifested in manifold ways, that there is a widening conviction that the cold logic of the general situation is on the side of sustained or advancing values. The Duluth Commercial-Record, in its review of the situation in the Dakotas and Minnesota, estimates there is 15 to .16 per cent of the Spring wheat crop in farmers' hands in those three states, the smallest percentage and the lowest quan tity in bushels in the history of the re gion, with the possible exception of 1905, at the same period. In that year Min neapolis May wheat sold at $1.30. While the stronjr bull faction In the speculative market ' is maneuvering carefully to avoid letting the control of the situation get out of its hands, there is no evidence that it Is going to set off any fireworks in its cam paign, preferring to let normal condi tions and Influences have their full play in the premises. What may de velop later la beyond the pale of trust worthy prophecy, but Patten andi his associates are letting the surface indi cations put up the present argument. . Patten Sure of Shortage. Two months ago the bull leader put himself openly on record as believing there would be a scarcity of wheat be fore another harvest. He proceeded partly on the general theory that the world's suppiy is hardly keeping pace with the demand in recent years. " At that time 90 per cent of the trade con sidered that he was wrong. They ad mit he may be woefully wrong yet. but concede that appearances uphold him. As to the truth of the foreign situation the trade Is dependent on the Judgment of statisticians who write from the com mercial rather than the speculative standpoint. Here again the preponder ance of the evidence seems to be in fa vor of present or higher values for wheat. In the current number of the North western Miller, James W. Rush, the London expert, forecasts a heavy Euro pean demand for the next few months. He makes the following compilation of the world's needs for the period named. The actual imports Into Europe In the five months from August 1 to December 31 have In round figures been as follows, compared with the returns of three pre vious years: Net imports of wheat and flour into Europe: Bushels Bushels. Aug. l-lec. 31. Total. 12 months to July SI. - 0os- . . .lsn.ooo.ooo 4S6.Don.ooo Jnn7-S IKO.WlO.imO 41T.800.O00 IWifl.; lilL'.SOO.OOO 472.400.00l) 1U05-6 220,000.000 604,000,000 Estimated requirements. It will be observed that the above compilation Is for a month later than the crop year employed usually in mak ing compilations on this side of the water. If the estimate of required ex portation for the 30 weeks from January 1 to August 1 of this year Is correct, the shipments weekly must be nearly 10,000, 000 bushels. Big Demand Everywhere. In reviewing the outlook. Rush find an urgent demand for consumption ow ing to reduced stocks everywhere. This demand, he says, coincides with large shipments to Europe, the Increase being about 60 per cent over the average for the previous two months. Buyers are beginning to think the actual need of wheat In Europe will prove "more power ful In its effect on prices than the ex pected big shipments from Argentine and Australia." Whatever may develop In the foreign field, the bull faction and the domestic markets have the uncertain weather for the next six weeks to reckon with. Broadly speaking, reports from the wheat fields are favorable, but so critical Is the situation regarded that Impending damage would probably have an Immediate buoy ant effect and put the short Interests to a harder test than any they have hitherto been confronted with. There are two sides to the question of available supplies the Patten side and the other Bide. While about 90 oer cent of the traders believed that Patten's views on this . subject were wild and distorted when he first com menced his campaign In May wheat, they now view the situation much In the same way as the big leader. The price of wheat to the farmer held up around the dollar mark all during the harvest, both in the Winter and Spring wheat sections and the marketings, and, as is well known, broke all records. The export business at this time was also at the high-water mark. This, it is now believed, drained the farmers' bias to the bare board. Those opposed to Patten in his deal, however, believe that the present high prices of wheat at Chicago will make this market a target for the holder of wheat, and that the invisible supply will become visible at an astonishing rate. LOVELACE ATTACKS RAINEY (Continued From First Page.) flclent to convict the blackmailers who have tried to work their game not only on the gentlemen I have named, but on both political parties." Attempt to Blackmail Cromwell. Last Fall, he said, an effort was made to sell the stories to the Demo cratic campaign committee and certain leaders of that party took the matter under consideration, but they were not used because they could not be sub stantiated. He charged that for nearly two years prior to that time, "these same men had been pursuing Mr. Crom well with the expectation that he would pay them a large sum of money, vary ing from $5000 to $25,000. They thought he would pay to have these stories suppressed." Levering declared that those persons were always met by Mr. Cromwell with an Indignant refusal and the reply that they might do what they pleased with their stories, for they were nothing but lies. Those eame people, he said, find ing that Mr. Cromwell was deeply in terested In Mr. Taft's campaign, thought that he would submit to pay something lfcther thfen have any publicity at that moment. They said to him, Loverlng asserted, "Even though there be no truth in this story, b'uy andi bury it." It was at this time, he said, "when they had tailed in all their demands up on Mr. Cromwell, that they took their nefarious wares to Mr. Mack, chairman of the Democratic National committee, and offered them for sale for campaign purposes." Used Ralney to Exploit. While they were -not accepted, he said, members of the Democratic party entered) into an agreement with Ralney "to exploit the subject on the floor of the House. This he has attempted to do by intro ducing a resolution of Inquiry." He charged,' however, that Ralney, "singu larly enough," had taken no steps to bring about any Investigation. "Has he fallen down?" be inquired. "Has he failed to secure his proofs? Have his Informants forsaken him?" He said that "after the professional blackmailers had failed to extort money from any of these sources, they did. In their dsperation', cause them to be pub lished and they appeared in the New York World." Rising in his place, Ralney declared that he had received no Information from either source. "1 know nothing of any t ' i - ., ,? ! p r X . . If Congressman H. T. Ralney, Cen tral Figure In Canal Scandal. blackmailers," he asserted. "Neither have I received any information for the New York World." Lovering coolly replied that Ralney would have full opportunity to answer him. Observing that Lovering was read ing his speech, Rainey inquired: "Did the gentleman prepare the manu script, or. did William Nelson Cromwell do so?" "Every word I prepared myself: nor has he ever seen a word of It," Lovering re plied. In the whole Panama transaction, Lovering said, there were no secrets, "ex cept such as suspicious minds have con jured up or were inspired to imagine." "If there were no secrets." Interjected Hitchcock of Nebraska, "does the gentle man justify the refusal of William Nel son Cromwell to answer questions put to him by the Senate committee?" Lovering declared, that Mr. Cromwell answered every question that he was at liberty to answer in faith to his clients, but that since that time he had kept nothing hack. Mr. Cromwell, he said, did not profit directly or indirectly by any part he took in the matter beyond his moderate fee. Calls on Rainey for Proof. Looking squarely at Ralney, Lovering called upon him "here and now" to pro duce his proofs. Ralney promised that at the first op portunity he would make a reply that would meet the challenge. In a brief but fiery speech, Gaines, of Tennessee, declared that in order to get at the bottom of the case the Ralney resolution should be passed. "Get Mr. Cromwell," he exclaimed, "to come before the committee and clean his hands, and get Rainey or any one else he wants to call and bring them face to face." Declaring that Rainey's charges should not be permitted to remain a part of the permanent record of Congress, Bannon, of Ohio, defended President-elect Taft and his brother, Charles P. Taft. Through McCreary, of Pennsylvania. William 9. Harvey, whom Ralney referred to as a "financial buccaneer,"' entered a denial of Rainey's charges. It was in the form of a letter which the clerk was Instructed to read. He had not proceeded far, however, when Bohier. of Missouri, objected to the further reading of the let ter because, he said, "It Imputed a false hood to a member of the House. '- After the parliamentary procedure in ouch a case had been threshed out, the chair held that the use by Mr. Harvey of the words "false statements" was un parliamentary and directed that they be stricken from the record. Fitzgerald, of New York, then objected to the reading of the letter at all and on the vote be ing taken the House refused to hear It. The Indian appropriation bill technically was under consideration and all the speeches were . made under license of general debate. A variety of other sub jects was discussed. Sims, of Tennessee, talked on the dangers of carbon monox ide in illuminating gas; Russell, of Mis souri, took Issue with the President in vetoing the James River dam bill; Broad head, of Pennsylvania, made a plea for the retention of marines as a branch of the military fcrm. and Willett, of New York, made a legal argument In which he held that the United States was with out authority to sue a newspaper for libel. About 500 pension bills were passed. Before taking up the Indian bill, brief exercises commemorative of Lincoln's birthday were held. The chaplain referred to Lincoln's services. Boutell, of Illinois, read theNfamous Gettysburg address, and Nye. of Minnesota, spoke in eloquent terms of the martyred President.

LAUDS UGOLH METHOD Says Great President Taught Golden Rule Diplomacy to Entire World. PRAISES HAY AND PERRY Japanese Ambassador as Chief Speaker at Peoria, Pledges His Friendship to. United States for All . Time. PEORIA, 111., Feb. 12. Declaring that his country entertained the most friendly and grateful sentiments towards the United States and that such a thing as war between tills coun try and Japan was an impossibility. Baron Takahira, Japanese Ambassador to the United States, delivered the prin cipal address tonight at the Creve Coeur Club's banquet in honor,, of the centennial of the birth of Abraham Lincoln. Charles Magoon, ex-Provisional Governor of Cuba; Curtis Guild, Jr., Governor of Massachusetts, and Pro fessor John Clark Freeman were the other speakers. Baron Takahira was enthusiastilly received. Golden Rule Diplomacy. In his address he gave a brilliant eulogy of the life of the great emancipator from a foreign point of view-, concluding with a tribute to "the golden rule of diplo macy," as exemplified by Lincoln and Hay. In this category of statesmen he placed Theodore Roosevelt, owing to the President's, efforts to stave off anti Japanese legislation on the Pacific Coast. "Those who learned to admire Lincoln's method of diplomatic transactions," said the speaker, "called It 'Lincoln's diplo macy,' the diplomacy that upheld the dignity and interest of the United States when she still remained in a less im portant position and under very adverse circumstances. Mr. John Hay, who was once President Lincoln's private secre tary, said in speaking of American diplo macy: The briefest expression of our rule of conduct Is perhaps the Monroe doctrine and the' golden rule. "The history of the diplomatic relations between the United States and Japan and other far Eastern countries is replete with every description of the friendly acts taken by this country that might be con sidered as an application of the golden rule, and there is every reason to believe that such application of the golden rule In your diplomacy with these countries Is being- acknowledged by the adoption of the same rule in their diplomacy towards you. "Now, let me make a few remarks here about our relations In order to show you how the golden rule has been observed between the two countries and also why it must be observed. Refers to Japan. "I have necessarily to begin with the remarkable success of Commodore Perry's mission which was sent to Japan some half century ago in order to open and Introduce into the commu nity of nations the country which was then only terra Incognito. Not speak ing of the great debt of gratitude Japan owes to the United States for her friendly introduction into the in ternational community, it is a note worthy fact that the American Gov ernment has been careful in the se lection of its representatives in Japan in order to accomplish what has been left for them to do by Perry's mission. "Townsend Harris, your first minister to Japan, was especially remarkable as a man of large heart and broad mind. It was through such friendly attitude taken by the American representatives,, of course supported by the government, that the American people are deeply endeared to ours and we want to reciprocate what has been done for us. We have never had any Idea for a moment of displeasing your people, much less waging war against you. "It Is for this reason that when dis pleasure was manifested in this coun try in regard to the Japanese immigra tion we readily consented to the ad justment of the question under certain conditions by limiting the immigration of laborers to the minimum number, and as a consequence It has been greatly reduced, notably since last July, and It is found during the latter half of 1908 the number of Japanese immigrants jvho returned to Japan from Continental United States was larger than the number of those who arrived in this country by 2100. The number of those who returned to Japan from the Hawaiian Islands was also ir excess of those who arrived, there from Japan by 1500. While it Is not cer tain how long this condition of move ment will continue, it is possible that every half year hereafter for some years will witness the decrease of Jap anese residents in this country In about the same proportion. "Again when there was apprehension of a misunderstanding arising between us In regard to the trademarks, copy rights and other matters of kindred na ture, on the Asiatic continent, the two governments at once opened negotiations and concluded conventions with the view to protect our mutual Interests in this regard. We also signed a treaty for the general arbitration of controversies between the two countries "and, lastly, we exchanged a few months ago a de claration defining the policy of the two governments In China and In the Pacific Ocean, with a view to encouraging the free and peaceful development of the commerce .of the two nations and also to preserve . the general peace in . that region. "Thus we have been using every effort not only to remove all possible causes of misunderstanding and conflict between the two countries, but to bring about a clear and definite understanding between the two countries in order to cement FOOD FOR A YEAR Meat . . . 300 lbs.
