and asked them IL they were aware that

startled ard bought the Parsons system to
keep II from possible connection with tho
New England A few months later
Parsons appeared in the New York d
New England. Morgan went 10 tho New
York. New Haven & Hartford people
and told them TO pinch Parsons all they
could. and not allow him to build up
line as he did against the New York
Central. Tho .'pinchne" was inauguratod
forthwith. bu, suddenly Mcleod appeared
on the scene and announced that he had
purchased control Of the New York q New

Parsons and almost every one else re-

Developments In tho Investigation Of
Panama Canal Affairs
THOMPSON DIDN'T KNOW 1T
The Large Amount OF Money
Annually Paid to the
Three New York
Banks.

TERRE HAUTE, Ind, Feb. 20. - The
Panama canal investigating committee
to-day began the taking OF evidence OF ex.
Secretary Of the Navy Thompson. He did
not know what were tho duties Of three
banking houses whose representatives
were members with him OF the American
committee. and he was as much surprised
as the committee when he learned within
q week that tho three had been getting
each $780, year or twico his own salary
for their services in this country. Colonel
Thompson denied that the Panama Canal
company had lobby at Washington either
10 procure favorable legislation for the
Panama canal or to fight tho Nicaragua
people. and he said he kept clear OF
lobbyists aud that there were no improper
expenditure OF money a. far a. he was
awnrc.
Colonel Thompson said when the Mica
rngua treaty was before the senate, all h0
did was to write u pamphlet against Il,
which he placed In the hands OF all sena-
tors. Senator s. L. Voorhees, only know he
wrote it. He did not sign his name to it
canal antagonRed, 20 he let IL appear
anonymously. Tho senate defeated tho
treaty.
The hecommittee had brought with Il .
letter press copy of all correspondence be.
tween Thompson and De Lesseps, and tho
witness was asked to explain . number OF
letters. One Of them. from Thompson TO
do Lesscps in February, less, said: "lt 10

standing Of how We have con-
ductcd this contest, and we must
10 very cautious" Congressman
Storcr of Ohio. read from letter in which
the colonel told DeLesseps he believed .
largo expenditure Of money for materials
in this country would help popularise tho
canal. which belief lac emphasized to-day.
In another letter he referred to ''overcom-
ing difficulties" This. no said, meant
such difficulties ~ the Nicaragua poople
were responsible for, bat that nothing bat
legitimate means were used In doing %.
lie denied any money had been spent
with his knowledge to influence the nsws-
papers.
