STANDING IN WITH
PANAMA GRAFTERS.
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."

f a bill which Senator Hulley 1b pre

the Pacific Telephone & Telegraph
Company will be most affected by It.
Under the lultlutivo, the people
Oregon enacted Chapter I of the
general laws of 1907, which places a
tax on the gross earnings of public
service corporations. The telephone
company has protested against litis
ax and has attacked the constitution-
lily of the law. The suit of the
elephone company is designed to
teat the Initiative and referendum of
