STATEMENTS ABOUT CANAL EXPENDITURES BY
MI CoINE AND MR. LANrER.
Now that investigation has been started In
Congress into the affairs Of the Panama Canal COM
pany much interest is felt In the answer which will
be developed t. the question concerning what became
OF the large amount Of money said to have been
over So 900, 900 sent TO this country by the pro-
moters OF the Panama Canal. Rumors Of corruption
have been rife. No definite statement of the ex-
penses OF the American Committee has ever been
made. Ey secretary Of the Navy Thompson, the
president OF the American Committee has referred to
Charles Colne, the former secretary, as the person
who was able TO make such statement. Mr.. Cone,
however, says that Mr. Thompson Is mistaken In
surprising that lie has the books. All the vouchers
he turned over to his successor Xavier Boyard four
years ago
speaking of the work OF the American Committee
Mr.. Colne said " We found that American machinery
was the best IN the world. We had seven great
drcdgcrs built in Brooklyn and Philadelphia by the
American Dredging and Contract Company. Also we
ordered thousands of cars. number OF excavators,
steam boilers and machinery OF every description
We spent In that way at least $l,5OOO0O. Mr..
Thompson speaks OF 300 cars having been built at
Terre Iaute ut cost Of $4,000 francs. lie re-
members them because they were built at his city.
Many more were built clsew here. We opened credits
here and made purchase TO fill orders received
them from the Isthmus Certain money sent 10
ms from Paris When that was exhausted asked
for and received more. Full reports Of the eXpendi
lures sent to Paris. The American Committee
had nothing to do with any attempt to overcome OPP
position secure neutrality. DE LessepS settled all
that and did It openly when he first visited America"
Among the bankers who had dealings with the
American Committee WinslOw Laner & Co.
Charles Lanier speaking OF their work said ave
never made any disbursements for the committee. We
did certain work for the Canal Company and received
Il sum OF money for it under contract. We were
never asked TO spend money In ovcrc( ming political
or other opposition. ! do not believe any OF the
money sent to this country was expended in any
but a perfectly legitimate way. We cannot take no
tice OF all Of that kind that set ahoa
concerning every financial transaction. 80 We have
never cared to make any statement OF our dealings
with the committee We do not TO do Ii now.
