MORGAN'S RIGHT-OP-WAY BILL.
Report Exposes Methods of llntln,
of the Panama Company.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 12. The Senate
committee on isthmian canal today au
thorized a favorable report on Senator
Morgan's bill providing for the acquisi
tion from Nicaragua and Costa Rica of
the right of way via the Nicaragua route.
Senator Morgan later presented this re
port to the Senate, accompanying the re
turn of the bill with a report on the sub
ject of a canal across the isthmus. Action
on the bill providing for the construction
of the canal was deferred.
Senator Morgan's report deals with
many questions connected with the con
struction of the canal. Including a thor
ough Inquiry Into the attitude of Great
Britain upon the subject and the differ
ent canal routes. He also discussed the
relationship or the Panama Canal Com
pany to the construction by the United
States of a waterway across the Isthmus,
and while he makes reference to a letter
written by President Hutln, of the Pana
ma Canal Company, to Secretary of State
Hay, he does not give the text of the
communication. Mr. Morgan says the let
ter to Secretary Hay was dated Novem
ber 22, and that it was written after Ad
miral Walker, as president of the commis
sion, had closed his correspondence with
M. Hutln, relating to the sale of the
Panama Canal. He then adds.
"The letter to Mr. Hay, with the ap
pendices thereto and the memoranda that
accompany It, is an attack on the presi
dent of the commission, replete with false
assumptions and perversions of facts, and
Is evidently Intended to create a side is
sue, the debate upon which, it is hoped by
M. Hutln, will delay, if It does not defeat,
the final action of Congress in providing
for the construction of any canal.
"This proceeding and the placing of this
correspondence In the hands of the Presi
dent of the United States by M. Hutln.
with a request that it be communicated
to Congress, Is but a continuation of
the presumptuous and offensive proposi
tion previously made by the Panama
Canal Company. This company. In a
previous administration, had succeeded In
obtaining the resignation of a Secretary
of the Navy to accept a nominal position
in their service at a large salary, and
expended 51.500,000 in New York, chiefly
In acquiring the aid of leading business
houses In promoting the De Lesseps. plan,
without a dollar of stock being subscrlocd
in that company.
"The desperate financial straits of the
new Panama Canal Company compelled
them to make overtures to the United
States to unload their enterprise on the
United States, and their agents became
accordingly aggressive in this effort."
The report then proceeds to quote a
number of communications from M. Hu
tln and his attorneys to officers of this
Government In 1E99 and 1900, which have
heretofore been printed. After quoting
a letter from Sullivan & Cronwell. attor
neys for the Panama Company, directed
to the President, and dated April 30, 1900.
in which they ask the President to ad
vise Congress of the attitude of the Pan
ama Company, the report says:
"The manifest purpose of this company
to Interfere will", legislation bv asking

the President to Inform Congress of a
state of facts, as alleged, of which Con
gress Is 'presumably without knowledge,'
is an Insult to the Intelligence of Con
gress. It is an Insolent invitation to the
President to control the action .of Con
gress so that It shall not act upon bills
reported by committees In both Houses."
Senator Morgan again refers to the let
ter to Secretary Hay of last November,
saying that M. Hutln previously had made
an unmistakable proposal to sell the Pari
ama property to the United States, and
adding.
"Yet M. Hutln. In his correspondence
wit Admiral Walker and his letter and
the accompanying 'memorandum' sent to
Mr. Hay, first assumes and then states
and argues and finally Insists that the
United States offered to purchase their
property, and that when the company
agreed to sell It, the Isthmian Canal
Commlasun refused to Inter Into a
scheme of arbitration to ascertain the
value of It. He Imputes bad faith to the
commission and severely criticises their
dealing with the canal company."
The search for Defaulter Fleishman
has not yet resulted In any definite
clew that would lead to his capture.
Word has come from El Paso, Tex.,
that on Sunday morning a passenger
giving his name aa N. T. Myers got
off the Sunset Limited, which left
California Saturday morning, and
bought a ticket from El Paso to
Guadalajara. Mexico. His descrip
tion tallies almost exactly with that
of Fleishman. The police, however,
doubt that the man was Fleishman,
on account of strong evidence that
Fleishman was In Los Angeles on
Saturday.
Fleishman, who Is 33 years of age,
came here from New York when a
boy, and, being a second cousin of
the Hellmans, the principal owners
of the Farmers' and Merchants'
Bank, profited by the social and
business connections. Ke rose from
a minor clerical place to the respon
sible post of cashier of the bank,
and did much of the confidential
work and negotiated many of the
bank's loans and business deals. HIb
employer thinks there was a woman
In the case, as he was a man of
good habits. He had been married,
but was divorced several years ago.
Proceeding, the report says that Ad
miral Walker did nothing more than ask
legitimate questions of M. Hutln, and
that there was in them no intimation of
a proposition to purchase. In this con
nection, Admiral Walker's letter of Octo
ber 22 last to M. Hutin Is published, and
of this Senator Morgan says that "it ut
terly breaks down the pretension of M.
Hutln that the United States, through
Admiral Walker, was engaged In the ef
fort to purchase tho property of the Pan
ama Canal." He adds that this letter
dispels every possible criticism of Ad
miral Walker and the commission of
which he la president. This letter the
report accuses M. Hutln of falling to send
to the President. The conclusion with
reference to this point of the controversy
Is set forth In the following language:
"The motive for this unseemly and un
precedented misconduct must be either
that this canal company Is desperate in its
purpose to unload Its property upon the
United States, because the French stock
holders hive lost faith In its success, or
that it is endeavoring to prevent the
completion of any canal with Its Panama
Railroad, the shares of which it values
at 5300, the face value being 5100 per
share, on account of Its enormous earn
ings." Tho Introductory pages of the report
contain a general review of the Impor
tance of the construction of an isthmian
canal, and In the second paragraph, of the
report it la declared that the failure to
accomplish this work would create a
feeling of National despair. Contending
for the Importance of the enterprise, Sen
ator Morgan urges that no nation nor
any combination of private interests can
have any right to prevent its consumma
tion.
"There remains," he said, "but one bar
rier to the union of the Atlantic and Pa
cific Oceans and no one nation has the
' right to- declare that It never shall be re
moved except with its consent."
He attributes the failure to construct
the canal in the past to the attitude of
other nations, saying:
"For the past 50 years the power and
Influence of the British Government, aided
by combination? In the United States and
France, has defeated all efforts to open
an American Isthmian canal. An antag
onism which was an Imperial policy of
Great Britain in the beginning has be
come a plan for gathering wealth by levy
ing tolls upon the commerce of America,
and its strength of purpose will increase
until some more powerful and just In
ducement will lead Great Britain to relax
her grasp and permit us to take care of
our country.. The combinations at heme
and In France that have assisted In sup
pressing the demands of our Industrial
classes for a canal to connect the great
oceans nre chiefly the transcontinental
railways in Canada and in Panama and
those in the United State:, eight great
corporations that now control almost the
entire transportation service between the
oceans that wash the coasts of the West
ern Hemisphere.
"The scope and purpose of the Clayton-
Bulwer treaty, as It was declared by Lord
. John Russell, made It an Instrument of
Injustice to Nlcnragua. Costa Rica and
other Central American States that has
deprived them and all Christendom of the
benefits of an American intcroceanic ca-
nal for more than a half century. In
view of these facts, it is clear that an

cial and military policy connected with

Great Britain to adhere to the Clayton
Btllwer treaty as a means of preventing
the construction of a canal through Nica
ragua by the United States, while she
would continue to hold the vantage
ground of occupation and Increasing au
thority In the Territories of Nicaragua
and Honduras, which she had agreed to
abandon. Her Intention to control both
canals was then evidently fixed."
He asserts that Great Britain's control
of the Mosquito coast was used as a
pretense to hold us until she had accom
plished her great policy relating to the
Suez Canal. He contends that Great
Britain's policy in the beginning was sim
ply a policy of delay and that both pow
ers have abandoned the policy of the Clay-ton-Bulwer
treaty, of which nothing re
mains but "an empty diplomatic technical
ity which must yield to the reasonable
demands of the United States, Nicaragua
and Costa Rica for their own safety and
prosperity, and to the demands of the
world for a gateway in Nicaragua to cor
respond with that offered at Suez." He
says that If diplomatic effort to reduce
the world's beneficial domination of the
Clayton-Bulwer treaty falls, conventions
should abrogate It.
The major portion of the report was
made before the new Hay-Pauncefote
treaty had been promulgated, but In an
appendix the following reference is made
to that treaty:
"If two-thirds of the Senate shall con
cur with the Government of Great Brit
ain in establishing au effective basis on
which a canal for ships through the Amer
ican isthmus shall be operated for the
security and benefit of all nations, such
agreement may well be considered as an
advanced step In a true civilization, hon
orable to both governments and rich In
blessings to mankind."
UNDER DOWIE'S INFLUENCE
Brother-In-Lnvr of the Zionist Tells
Hovr He Parted With Ills SXoney.
CHICAGO. Dec. 12. Dr. John Alexander
Dowle. head of the Christian Catholic
Church, was the center of attraction In
Judge Tuley's court today, where the con
tinuation of the suit for a. receivership
for his Zlon lace Industries was being
heard. The testimony offered today by
Samuel B. Stevenson, Dowle's brother-in-law,
was largely on the subject of his
courtship of Dowle's sister. He also tes
tified that he had not desired to come to
America to embark in abuslness venture,
but that Dowie had prevailed upon him
by glowing descriptions of the wealth to
be amassed In the lace Industries. At
last, Stevenson said, he was induced by
much praying and laying on of hands to
invest hi3 capital. Stevenson told many
interesting things about a certain mid
night meeting with Dowie. Stevenson,
long after this meeting took place, was
confronted by a signed contract In rela
tion to what he should receive for his
interests and he now declares the exist
ence of the paper was absolutely unknown
to him. He objects to Its provisions, as
thty arc all favorable to the defendant.
SAFEGUARDS NEEDED.
Fraternnl Organizations Patting:
Members in Peril.
Milwaukee Sentinel.
The announcement that Charles D.
Thompson, supreme treasurer of the
Maccabees, has confessed to the defalca
tion of 157.000, calls attention to the re
cent tendency of officials of fraternal pro
tective organizations to divert to personal
use the funds entrusted to their care.
"Within the last year there have been
numerous embezzlements and shortages.
The same day that Mr. Thompson's con
fession was made public the newspapers
contained a mention of the fact that P. J.
McGuIre, one of the founders of the Amer
ican Federation of Labor, and general sec
retary of the Brotherhood of Carpenters,
has been charged with breach of trust,
his shortage being estimated at $10,000.
In the United States there are many
large organizations that maintain reserve
funds. In most cases the management of
these organizations Is carried on In a busl-ness-liKe
manner, although as a rule there
are few safeguards provided against dis
honesty. The funds are trust funds in
the broadest sense of the word, the custo
dians having great latitude of action. The
treasurers are generally elected not on
account of special business Qualifications,
but because they are popular members of
the society they wish to represent. The
fact that the direction of the financial
affairs of these protective societies is only
of secondary business Interest to the of
ficials Is one cause for laxity of manage
ment. There Is no doubt that In most of
these cases of embezzlement or shortage
the dlfllcult'es have arisen largely through
carelessness or neglect to manage the af
fairs nf the organization In a strict and
systematic manner.
The confusion incident to an attempt to
transform fraternal protective associa
tions doing business under the assessment
rkin into insurance companies, with re
serve funds, 13 responsible for a number
of tho defalcations reported. Another
cause which leads up to the Irregularities
Is the accumulation of comparatively
large sums from assessments in the hands
of the financial officer, because of the size
of his Jurisdiction, an entire order being
frequently administered by one set of of
ficers Thse officers are not selected as
arc the boards that control the financial
affairs of Insurance companies, nor are
proper safeguards thrown around the
funds that accumulate in their hands.
The fraternal protective associations
have accomplished a great work during
the last quarter of a century, and they
should carefully avoid, so far as they can
do so, any movement within their organi
zations which has a tendency to weaken
the confidence of their prospective mem
bers in the financial integrity of their
orders or their financial officers. If they
would study the laws of the several states
regulating the care and Investment of de
posits In savings banks, as well as the
methods by which Insurance companies
safeguard their capital, they would then
be enabled to care for their trust funds

mised that leaves or other drift had
clogged the entrance to the pipe, thus
shutting oft the water supply. Qulnton
and one of the power house employes
went up the canyon to Investigate. The
employe thrust his arm into the water
of the forebay to scrape the drift on tho
screen. But, instead of dead leaves or i
other rubbish his hand encountered a j
feathery object. He drew It forth and
revealed the body of an Immense golden
eagle, which had completely clogged tho
entrance of the pipe. In the eagle's claws .
was the body of a squirrel. In removing
the dead animals the squirrel became dis
engaged from the eagle's talons and was
sucked Into the pipe, from which the
screen had been partly removed. It tra
versed the length of the pipe and be
came lodged In the nozzle at the further
end, from which the water Is discharged
upon the "agitator" of the electric dyna
mo. Once more the wheels came to a
stop, the obstruction this time being the
body of the squirrel. The task of re
moving It was a difficult one. but It was
at last accomplished, and the supply of
"Juicft" for the valley towns was again
restored.
The theory In rogard to the drowning
of the eagle Is thnt the big bird swooped
down upon the squirrel, which It espied
In the swim, and was drawn into the
whirlpool formed by the suction pipe be
fore it could rise from the water with Its
prey.
As the body of the eagle was In no
wise mangled or Its plumage destroyed
It was brought to Los Angeles by Mr.
Qulnton. who had It mounted by a taxi
dermist, and It now graces a pedestal
In the office of Olmstead & Qulnton In
the Laughlln building. It Is one of the
finest specimens of the golden eagle ever
