company, asserting that Messrs. Raj
haul and Rarbe, formerly ministers of
public works, had each received, dur
ing the past two years, large brides, in
return for official and parliamentary
assistance they had rendered the Pana-
ma Canal company.
In addition M. Martin says that
fully fifty members of the chamber
are implicated IN a similar corrupt way
in the fortunes of DeLeSSeps' scheme,
but he reserves their names in order
to concentrate the charge on these ex-
ministers and force them to proceed
