PANAMA COMPANY CAN GIVE
A CLEAR TITLE TO THE CANAL.

railroad company. and sell it to the Uni
ted States as 4 part OF the transaction.
One of the members OF the commission
said last evening that. in his opinion. an
important question is the ability of the
United States to secure valid concessions
from Colombia covering the Panama
route. He intimatel very strongly that
the present conditions in Colombia might
still further compscate the situation as
affecting any concession granted this
co;ntry
There is no longer any doubt in the
minds OF the members OF tie commission
that the Panama company can convey
its properties with clear tile. The
commission has practically determined
that the course TO be pursued IN making
the purchase. if il is decided to accept The
Panama offer. will be to have the sale
ratified by the French court which ap-
pointed liquidator for the Panama Com
pany.
Method Of Procedure.
The first step is for the stockholders to
agree to a sale: then the liquidator. who
corresponds to 4 receiver in an American
court. will secure an order from the
French court directing the sale of tine
property according to the offer now made.
This will be practically sale OF ;he
property by the court. with the consent
of all parties having any interests in
the company.
There is reason to believe thatthc COM
mission will proceed with its work so
rapidly that the report. which, it is
understood. will be decidedly favorable to
the purchase OF the rights and property
of the Panama Company, caI be handed
to the President by the close Of the pres
hi, on
Monday.
Mr. Morgan Not Interested.
Mr.. Cromwell is also attorney for J.
Pierpont Morgan. He denies that the lat
ter has any interests in the Panama Canal
or Panama Railroad
The Panama Canal Company will be
able to give n satisfactory title to the
canal property" said Dir. Cromwell last
night. "All of the Panama Canal stock
is owned by the French company. None
of it is owned in this country. The only
question as TO the title is concerned in
that of the railroad. not the canal.
"Of the I0.0GG shares of Panama Rail-
road stock, Gs.0Go shares are owned by the
Panama Canal Company. One thousand
shares are held in this country. in New
York. and Boston. It will be an easy mat
ter for the minority holdings to be Sc
cured. There viii be no question as to
the title. 1t viii be satisfactory.
Protection for Stockholders.
COZ course. every stochholdcr must be
said 3ir. Cromwell. I'VE shall
be able TO give a clear title. There is no
truth in the gumoF that J. Pierpont Mcr-
gan is interested in any way in either the
canal or railroad.
Il have heard nothing of this new re-
port" said Senator Morgan. and / take
no stock in the story. Cromwell is
lawyer who IS trying to sell worthless
TO the Government for si0.-
