Bluer Attack is Made on the Ad ministration by Congress man Rainey. WASHINGTON, Jan. 27. Brand ing William Nelson Cromwell as a "bucanneer and desperado," Con gressman Rainey, of Illinois, gave the house today a sensational resume of the Panama canal situation. He charged that Cromwell and certain associates with trying to "steal and appropriate to their own use the rev ON WEVE BEEtfTREATINGTEOPLE SQUARtv enues of the Panama republic." Ho professed to prove the exist ence of the most stupendous graft combine in the history of the civil ized world. He charged Cromwell with being a "party to an attempt to col lect from the United States fraudu lent claims to the amount of $2, 000,000," and with being chief man ipulator In the machinations result ing In the revolution of November 3, 1903. Rainey also declared that, Cromwell was a member of a com bine whose intent U was to "not on ly rob the Republic of Panama, but they Indirectly robbed the treasury of the United States." He explained that he had not charged Taft with be ing a party to "the infamous scheme" but that he only submitted evidence. In the course of his remarks he said: "It will not be long, If the scheme goes through, before the campaign contributions of-'some gentlemen in terested in the enterprise Will be re turned a hundred fold. It Is not a part of sound statesmanship, or true patriotism to employ the tremendous agencies of the government in at tempting to crush newspapers for having the courage to call attention to the questionable transactions In connection with the canal. Public opinion even of Germany would not permit the emperor to do' what the President of the United States Is try ing to do." He charged that President Roose velt made a direct misstatement of facts relative to the canal In a mes sage sent to congress on December 17. 190G. - The Illinois legislator declared that, so far, he had not heard of any secret service agents disturbing Sen ator Lodge, "yet he was directly, in dividually, solely responsible for the taking out of the treasury of over 1,000,000." He charged that Obaldla, the Pan ama statesman, represents all that 1e corrupt in Spanish and American politics. Rainey declared he can produce "absolute proof establishing the fact that Taft, representing the United States, Cromwell and their friends entered into a combination to force the election of Obaldia, the new presi dent of Panama."
