William Nelson Cromwell as a "buc

hotuso today a sensational reaumo of
tho Panama canal situation. Ho
charged Cromwoll and cortnln
assoclntoB with trying to "steal and
appropriate to tholr own ubo tho rov
onuos of tho Panama ropubllc."
Ho profoiisod to provo tho oxlstonco
of tho most ntupondous graft com
bine In tho history of tho clvillzoJ
world. Ho charged Cromwoll with
bolng a "party to an attempt to col
lect from tho Unltod Statos fraudu
lent clnlma to tho amount of $2,000,
000," and with being chlof manipula
tor in tho machinations roaulting n
the revolution on November 3,
1903. Ralnoy nlco declared that
Cromwoll wns a mombor of n com
blno whoso intont It wns to "not
only reb tho Ropubllc of Panama,
but they Indli'octly ubbed tho trons
ury of tho Unltod States." Ho ox
plalnod that ho had not charged" Taft
with bolng a party to "tho Infamous
schomo," Unit that ho only nubmlttel
ovldenco.
In tho courso of his remarks ho
sn'd:
"It will not bo long, If tho schomo
goes through, before tho campaign
contributions of somo gontlomon In
terested In tho ontorprloo will bo re
turned a hundrod fold. It Is not a
pnrt of sound statomnnshlp, or true
patriotism to employ tho tromondous
agencies of tho government In at
tempting to crush nowspnporB for
having tho courngo to call nttontlon
to tho quostlonnblo transactions In

depriving tho government of two

this matter hud boon considered Im
portant enough by President Roose

message to congress.
Tho Illinois legislator declared
that, so far, ho had not hoard of any
socrot sorvlco agents disturbing Sen

Individually, Kololy responsible for
tho taking out oflho treasury of over
$1,000,000."
Ho charged that Obnldla, tho Pan

la corrupt In Spanish and American
politics.
Ralnoy doclnred that Cromwoll
has been hooping tho minutes of
mootlngs of a board of dlrpctora if
a certain railroad, writing them "to
8U.H hlmsolf." Ho Intimated that a
combination controlled or d,omInatod,

PUTS JAPS ON LEVEL
WITH ENGLISHMEN
(United Press Leased Wlro.)
Sacramento, Jan. 26. In a spe
cial mossago forwardod to tho legis
lature today Governor Glllott openly
hinted that ho will voto any antl-
Japnneso measures passed by tho
legislators on tho ground that thoy
would ombarras tho federal govern
ment nnd cnuso sorlous friction.
Tho govornor suggested that tho
state labor commissioner bo instruct
ed to tako a census of tho Japanoso
now in California nnd gather figures
showing whether or not their num
ber has Increased recently. The
mossago points out that the question
of emigration affects the whole na
tion nnd that congress should have
tho excluslvo authority to deal with
tho problem.
Govornor Glllott advises tho legis
lators to exercise extreme caution in
"passing legislation not absolutely
necessary for our immediate protec
tion and intendod solely to affect tho
Jnpnnoso people, because In so doing
wo would mnke(a hard task for tho
federal government."
"Such legislation,' tho messago
says, 'can only tend to widen tho
breach betweon Japan and our coun
try nnd cnuso a feeling of misgiving
and distrust to oxlst"
Tho govornor then demands that
If nny legislation is onactod along
tho lines suggested by certain mom
bors it should affect all foreigners
alike.
Ho says there cannot bo ono law
for tho subjects of Japan and another
for tho citizens from England. In
concluding the governor says tho bills
prohibiting all aliens from owning
land nnd from becoming directors in
corporations would discourage the in
vestment of foreign capital. Ho
clearly intimites that he can see no
good reason for enactiug such laws.
