Minister Crane's Defense.
"Mr. Crane's statement is a follows:
' "The statement Issued by the Depart
ment of State Is slightly Inaccurate In
saying that the Secretary has informed
me that my resignation will be accepted.
The letter I received from Mr. Knox at
4oon today says he.nas recommended to
the President that the President accept
my resignation. Before this letter had
been received by me I had already eent
to the President, through, his secretary,
ilr. Carpenter, the following telegram:
Direct Appeal to Taft.
-Washington. Oct. 12. President W.
H. Taft: The State Department objects
to certain things I have done in the ef
fort to carry out my understanding of
tour wishes, as expressed by you to me.
1 have carefully considered the entire
matter. In my Judgment na mistake has
een made, except as the Department -
made It a mistake. I did not and cannot
guarantee to make no mistakes, and
especially unless, I have the cordial sup
port and co-operation of the Govern
ment. , " 'The manner in which the Department
has proceeded and Is proceeding is Incon
sistent with my own self-respect and my
conception of the dignity of the position
and with the understanding upon which
I accepted. appreciate the personal con
sideration I have received from you and
under all the circumstance have decided
to await Information as to your wishes
before taking action. You will under
stand, 'of course, that my resignation is
in your hands. (Signed.)
" 'CHARLES R, CBAXB'
Says Mistake Was Knox's.
! "The statement of the Department is
further inaccurate in saying that I 'gave
Out a newspaper story' about the prep
aration of a protest in regard to the
treaty between China and Japan. It
would have been more accurate if the
"tatement had said, as was indicated in
its closing paragraph, that a brief con
versation of mine with a newspaper rep
resentative contributed to the publication
by him of a discussion of this agreement
and the possibility of a protest by this
Government and that the Department re
garded this conversation as 'Indiscreet.'
The publication did not mention my
name, nor in my Judgment would it have
been a mistake if the Department of
State had not chosen to vouch for Its
accuracy and give to It an official sig
nificance by its own conduct.
Subject Already Pnblic.
' "It certainly contained nothing of
substance that was not matter of com
mon knowledge or deduclble by any com
petent reporter from facts commonly
known. The substance of the agreement
had- been published and its effect had
been widely disscussed. As an illustra
tion of this, the New York Herald had
published on September 9 the following
dispatch:
" 'Tokio, Wednesday. The Tokio press
regretss that the Jingo American press
Is raising the usual protest against Japan
regarding the new China-Japanese con
vention. It states that the Manchurian
railways are administered in accordance
with America's long cherished motto of
the open door policy. Moreover, it adds,
the convention Is now an accomplished
fact, and America cannot change It.
however much It may dislike it.'
' Taft Tged Crane to Talk.
' "The publication complained of by the
- State Department was not made until'
September 27. This also has a signifi
cant bearing on the reference to 'recent
canards' in the Secretary's telegram tu
me at San Francisco.
"In -order to understand how this mat
ter came to be mentioned. It is necessary
to make a brief explanation. When I
accepted the appointment of Minister
to China, at the request Of the Presi
dent, he expressed the earnest wish that
the people of this country should be
rouBed to a keen interest In the Pacific
situation, both commercially and politic
ally; and he felt that our greatest prob
lem lay there and that our people were
not fully awake to its importance.
"As I stated in a public -address in
Chicago on September 14, the President
advised me to accept all available invi
tations to public meetings and dinners
and said: 'Do not miss- any of them,
and when you go to one. Insist on speak
ing and let them have it red hot.'
Knox' Reason for Action.
In announcing his action, Mr. Knox
gave out the following statement, saying
that he would have nothing to add to it:
"The Department of State has been en
gaged for some time in making the usual
study of the recent agreements between
China and Japan in relation to Man
churia, from such data bearing upon the
situation as it was able to secure, with
- a view to determining whether there was
anything in the agreements adversely af
fecting American interests or in conflict
with the principle of equal opportunities,
to which the powers are pledged, a study
not yet concluded, and In respect to which
no decision has been reached.
"While this Investigation was proceed
ing, Mr. Crane, the Minister to China,
came to the department, and while there
was Informed by one of the clerks that
such an examination was being made.
"Without consultation with the Acting
Secretary or any other responsible offi
cer of the department, and without the
knowledge or authority of anyone con
nected with the department. Mr. Crane
gave out a newspaper story to the effect
that this Government was preparing to
protest against some features of the
agreements, and that the promulgation
of the protest only awaited the return
of an official who was to formulate It.
"The story appeared In a Western paper
and at the same time or a day 'later in
the Japanese press and subsequently was
generally published.
- Crane Admitted Responsibility.
"Such were the representations mads
to me October 1, by the responsible of
ficers of the Department of State, accom
panied by their statement that they had
sufficient reasons to believe them to be
true. Whereupon I sent Mr. Crane at
San Francisco the following telegram,
dated October 3. 1909:
' 'You have been charged with the
responsibility for the canards recently
appearing in the Japanese and American
. press to the effect that the United States
is preparing to protest against the Chinese-Japanese
agreement.
" 'The evidence that you are responsi
ble for this Is of such a character as
warrants me in directing you to come to
Washington at once and meet It. If you
are not responsible, as I hope you are
not, matters relating to Oriental affairs
have developed since you left Washing
ton to make it advisable for me to com
municate with you personally and lnthe
utmost confidence in relation thereto."
"At a conference with Mr. Crane Sun
day evening he admitted having had an
Indiscreet talk with a reporter which
resulted in the publications referred to
and. assuming responsibility, stated that
if the .Indiscretion was grave enough to
shake my confidence in his usefulness he
would willingly resign. I have reluct
antly reached the conclusion that the
good of the service demands that I should
inform Mr. Crane that his resignation
will be accepted and I have done so.
"I assumed the President wished me
to discuss realities and not platitudes.
I have not experience as a pub , lo
speaker and It was and is a. difficult
role but I have done my best to carry
out the President s wisnes.
No Instructions From Knox.
"The difficulty has already been in
creased by the absence of specific in
structions from the State Department
and of any adequate discussion with
Its officials as to the policy of this
Government. I have been much grati
fied that no criticism has come to me
from any official source until I was
recalled to Washington-last week.
"With the previous approval of the
President. I had arranged to go to
China by way of Europe, so that I
might have conferences with well in
formed and influential persons of wide
ly divergent interests and points of
view, and I had made many valuable
appointments. It was then suggested
by Mr. Knox that it would be better
for me to proceed via the Pacific.
Contrary to my understanding that
this matter should be fully discussed
with the President in conference with
Secretary Knox, the Secretary informed
me that it would be unnecessary to see
the President and that I should pro
ceed by way of Japan. It was then
agreed that I should sail on October
5 with the Minister to Japan.
Knox Broke Appointments.
"I was told letters -would be given
to me and arrangements made for see
ing Important persons in Japan. I
have not since then seen Secretary
Knox except on last Sunday, nor have
I had any discussion with the Depart
ment as to its policy.
"Some days before the date set for my
departure, I came to Washington and
after considerable difficulty, made a
number of appointments with the Secre
tary of State. Not one did he keep or
explain his failure to keep. , No papers,
not even my official credentials, were
made for me when I left Washington for
San Francisco, with Just time to catch
the steamer. I. have not examined the
papers from the State Department, which
reached me in San Francisco after the
Secretary's telegram recalling me to
Washington.
What Crane Said In Interview.
"As I was hurriedly leaving Washing
ton, a representative of an important
paper asked me about the China-Japanese
agreement and I said the matter was
under consideration, as Is well known,
but no decision had been reached and I
may have said, although I do not recall
It, that obviously no statement will be
prepared in the absence of Mr. Hoyt. I
advised him to. get thoroughly informed
upon the whoje subject, as it would be
of the greatest importance that it be
handled Intelligently by the American
press If official action were taken.
"This is the cum of my offending. On
mature consideration, it is my judgment
that my action was in accordance with
the spirit, at least, of the President's
wishes expressed by him to me. and that
It furnished no sufficient excuse for the
sensational and inconsiderate action of
the Secretary of State.
"However, I did not seek this post and
am absolutely unwilling to remain in It
without the entire confidence of the
President and the cordial support of the
Government."
Mr. Crane said at midnight that he
had received no reply to his telegram to
President Taft, which he quoted in his
statement. He said he had made no
plans as to 'his movements.
JAPAN NOT AT ALL SURPRISED
Crane's Recall Inevitable and Pen
alty of Unfriendly Speeches.
TOKIO. Oct. 13. Little surprise was ex
pressed by officials here at the news that
Secretary of State Knox had determined
to recall Charles R. Crane when he was
on the eve of sailing as Minister to China.
Leading newspapers print long special
dispatches giving the reasons for Mr.
Crane's recall, most of the journals tak
ing the stand that the reported utter
ances of Mr. Crane were exaggerated.
Statements that President Taft approved
of Mr. Crane's attitude and that the re
called Minister had repeated only what
he first heard from the President caused
much comment here.
Officials said that. If Mr. Crane actual
ly had disclosed the attitude of the
United States Government, his recall was
Inevitable. However, they declined to be
lieve that Washington had any Intention
of protesting the Chinese-Japanese agree
ment, because, they asserted, there was
absolutely no ground for such action.
Leading Japanese seen by the Associat
ed Press correspondent expressed grati
fication at the action of Mr. Knox, since,
they said, it Indicated that the Adminis
tration discountenanced prejudiced
speeches and an unfriendly attitude of
officials in dealings with Japan.
CRANE SHAMEFULLY TREATED
Record-Herald Says He Only Told
. ' What Everybody Knew.
CHICAGO. Oct. 12. (Special.) The
Record-Herald tomorrow morning will
print the following editorial:
. "The treatment that Mr. Charles R.
Crane has received at the hands of the
Department of State has been nothing
short of shameful. Every newspaper
man In Washington will hoot at the
notion that Mr. Crane's alleged indis
cretion in any way varied from the dis
cretion ordinarily required from public
officials. No informed person believes
for a moment that the ostensible rea
son for the request for Mr. Crane's
resignation Is the real one. On the
contrary, it is perfectly apparent that
he has been made the victim of what
appears to have been a thoroughly dis
creditable intrigue.
"Inasmuch as the article to which
Mr. Knox objects appeared in the Record-Herald,
it is but just to say that
Mr. Crane furnished our correspondent
with no Information that Involved any
breach of his official obligations. His
mistake was in assuming that there
could be any possible objection to tak
ing it for granted that what all diplo
matic, and most of the newspaper men
of the world know, was also known by
the Department of State."
TAFT SENDS LONG MESSAGES
Says AH Information Must Come
From State Department.
RIVERSIDE. Cal., Oct. 12. President
Taft sent a long cipher message to
Washington yesterday and one again
today.
It was declared on the President's

RIVERSIDE, Cal., Oct. 12. After

night and is speeding across the Colo
rado desert. His way leads him for a
time below the level of the sea and to
morrow morning will find the Chief Ex
ecutive in Arizona, his Journey back to
the East well under way.
The President spent much of today in
the famous orange districts surrounding
Los Angeles, driving for miles through
the immense groves of Redlands and
Riverside. Altogether, Mr. Taft made
more than 60 miles by automobile today,
and, having fallen 25 minutes behind his
schedule at San Bernardino, was carried
along the roads between that city and
Riverside at a rate of speed exceeding
35 miles an our.
There were 10 or 12 automobiles In line,
and the dust they stirred up where the
roadway had not been oiled was suffocat
ing, s
Speaks to Old Soldiers.
Beginning his day with a trip to the
Soldiers Home, at Sawtelle, Just outside
of Los Angeles, at 9 o'clock this morning,
and speaking there to 2600 veterans, the
President went nexf by motor to Pasa
dena to be entertained at luncheon by the
citizens at the Maryland Hotel.
Taking the train at Pasadena, after
complimenting that city upon its luxurious
homes. Mr. Taft had an hour's ride
to San Bernardino, making several stops
of a few minutes' duration each, at the
intermediate etations to statisfy the great
crowds gathered at the depots. At San
Bernardino the President once more en
tered an automobile for the 38-mile ride
through Smiley Heights, Redlands and to
this city.
' Drinks Orange Juice.
He stopped for a glass of orange Juice
at the hotel here and was whirled away
for more sightseeing, Including a climb
tn fho ti nf Huhlrtoux Mountain, where
a famous old mission cross still stands.
Tonight the President was tne guem.
of honor at a banquet in the Glenwood
Hotel. Mr. Taft declared that he had
thoroughly enjoyed his stay in California,
and was more deeply Impressed than ever
with the tremendous size and diversified
Interests and climate of the state.
School children continued today to be
a feature of the President's visit to the
various communities, included in his Itin
erary. Mr. Taft declared that, after
seeing eo many thousands of "chubby
cheeked and chubby-legged boys and
girls" on his travels of the last four
weeksS he was convinced that tlies future
of the country was safe.
Standing In his- automobile at Redlands
this afternoon, the President addressed
a grandstand filled with children and told
them to learn well the lesson of loyalty.
Helps Unveil Tablet.
On Mount Rubldoux this afternoon the
President participated in the unveiling of
a. tablet set in solid rock to the memory
of the founder of the California missions,
Fra Junipera Serra. On the tablet were
the three words, "Apostle-Legislator-Builder."
Mr. Taft kept his Pasadena luncheon
hosts waiting nearly half an hour while
he dictated and signed a mass of official
mail. The President sent word of the
delay and declared that the affairs of
state must go on, regardless of whether
he was to be, allowed to eat luncheon or
not.
A large delegation of the Los Angeles
"Chamber of Commerce, wearing huge yel
low ribbon badges with the word "Boost
ers" printed in gold-face type, accom
panied, the President from Los Angeles
and with their tin horns, "boosting yells"
and general good humor, afforded him
much amusement.
Boosters on the Job.
At every station at which he got off
'the train the President greeted the ardent
"boosters" with a wide grin and had
them in Jils car from time to time dur
ing the railroad Journey from Pasndena
to San Bernardino.
Lieutenant-General Adna R. Chaffee,
retired, was with the President on the
special trolley trip to the Soldiers' Home
this morning, and as the Presidential car
went whizzing by a suburban station
without stopping, it- reminded him of an
experience he had with President Hayes
In 1879: .
The General was a Captain of the Sixth
Cavalry at the time and was stationed
at Fort ilcDowell. Ariz. One day he re
ceived orders to march with his troop to
Maricopa, 45 miles away, to do- what
honor he might to President Hayes as he
passed through.
"The dust was two feet deep most of
the way," said General Chaffee, "and
when we got to Maricopa we were all
played out. It was not long, however,
until we got word that the President's
train was coming. It did come, too, at
the rate of about 60 miles an hour, and
went whizzing by with the bell clanging.
That was bad enough, but on the rear of
the train was General McCook. then of
rank with me. He caught sight of me,
and, appreciating the joke, gave me first
a cheer and then a howl of derision."

ACTRESS TO WIELD SPADE
Blanch Bates Will Break Ground for
New Heilig Theater.
Its site but eight blocks away from
the home wherein Blanche Bates,
America's foremost emotional actress,
was born not much more than a quar
ter of' a century ago, ground for the
New Heilig Theater will be broken by
the famous "Portland girl" tomorrow
afternoon. Mayor Simon has consented
to preside at the ceremony, the City
Council has been especially invited by
Calvin Heilig to attend and the build
ing committee of the "bondholders, who
made the construction of the show
house possible, will witness the sod
turning. Miss Bates sought the honor of turn
ing the first earth for the first modern
theater of her home town as her right,
and Calvin Heilig. in suggesting the
privilege was hers by conquest, re
marked that he, too, was honored, hav
ing given Miss Bates her first starring
engagement with Frawley in 1S95.
Simplicity will reign throughout the
ceremony, even though the fair hands
of the world-renowned Blanche Bates
are to dig the first shovelful of earth
-from the theater site. She has willed
it so. No blare of trumpets will an
nounce the arrival of the famous act
ress on that scene, the soft strains of
an orchestra will not accompany her
movements. She will be beautiful
Blanche Bates, of Portland, for ' the
nonce, the simplest role she has ever
held, and in keeping with the part
she will stamp a spade and dig as
any girl would dig.
Only the spade to be handled by the
celebrated actress will depart from the
simplicity of the scene.. Its handle will
be Portland wood, its blade will be
Portland-wrought, plated with Oregon
gold by Portland hands. When the
New Heilig, Portland's first modern
theater, to cost $150,000, is complete
and ready for Blanche Bates to stir a
multitude from its stage, the hallowed
Instrument with which she broke
ground for the showhouse will repose
in a favored spot as the New Heilig's
first relic.
While no speechmaking, music or
clamor will mark the ground-breaking
at Seventh and Taylor streets tomorrow
afternoon, that an immense throng will
witness the simple ceremony is cer
tain. Excavation for the new theater
will begin Immediately after Miss
Bates completes her part of the. cere
mony. She will dig the first spadeful
of earth at 2 o'clock. ,
The site of the New Heilig, at the
northwest corner of Seventh and Taylor
streets. Is about eight blocks from
Blanche Bates' birthplace, the cele
brated actress arriving on the world's
stage at Front street near Salmon,
where resided her father and mother,
Mr. and Mrs. F. M. Bates, both of
whom acted at the Oro Fino, Portland's
first theater.

It Tastes Good and
Creates Strength
the famous cod liver and
iron medicine, without oil. i
Vinol is much better than
cod liver oil and emulsions,
because, while it contains all
the medicinal value they do,
it disagrees with no one.
As a body builder and'
strength creator for old
people, delicate children,
after sickness, and for stab
born coughs and colds Vinol
is unequaled.
