Senator Morgan Attacks Validity of
Panama Company's Title.

WASHINGTON. March 13.-when the
Senate went into executive session to-day
Mr.. Morgan entered discussion of At
torney General Knoxs opinion as TO the
validity Of the title to the Panama canal
property which can be given by the new
Panama Canal Company This opinion he
attacked as defective in some points and
especially In its failure TO deal with the
jurisdiction of the French courts which
have passed upon the canal company's title.
Senator Morgan read at length from the
speeches he has prepared for publication.
He charged that the French courts had
overstepped their legitimate authority In
assuming tn dispose OF property situated
in Colombia without reference to the rights
retained by Colombia and the limitat tions
and restrictions imposed by the Colombian
government on its agent. the International
1nteroceanic Canal Association. He con-
tended that Colombia never really had
parted with the canal zone, and as that
OF $4,000 for the proposed canal that
country was the ultimate sole beneficiary of
the enterprise and the concessionary COM
pany the temporary recipient of the tolls
or the canal for It's compensation or in
demnity. He claimed. therefore. that the
decree of the French court authorizing the
sale TO the United States was void because
an invasion OF the rights OF Colombia He
also contended that French legislation at
courts was as clearly without authority
as the documents OF the court France
cannot, he said thus violate the rights
OF Colombia and the shareholders bond
holders and general creditors of the Pana-
ma Canal Company without responsibility
and cannot escape that responsibility nv
asserting that as government she has had
nothing 10 do with the company' Then
he asserted that If Colombia has become
or shall become party consenting 10 ali
these proceedings or IL she is not such a
party she Is bound for every bond issned
BY the Old Panama Canal Company for ali
the other debts of that company contracted
for material furnished or work done for
the canal.
Taking up the question OF responsibi,itv
OF the United States in the matter OF these
debts Senator Morgan said: "A matter
that "a Of the deepest concern TO the honor
OF the United States Is that the stock
holder in the old company is bound 10
creditors of that company by mutual. ex-
press agreement for a equal to the
face value OF shares held by him for the
payment OF those debts"
When Senator Morgan concluded Senator
Spooner took the floor. but did not proceed
He-said,. however. that he desired to go on

HE WAS FACETIOUS.

HE WAS tACE1lOOS.
w. NJ. Smith, former United States dis
trict attorney at Louisville. addressed the
court in behalf of the defendants, and more
particularly in the interests Of d. A. Sachs.
Mr. Smith was inclined to be facetious at
times and caused the court to smile fire.
quently.
He took the position at the start that the
information charges Sachs and Watts and
the others named in the information with
forcibly taking possession of property from
the Federal Court receiver, and that the
information charges nothing else. That be-
ing so, the attorney held, the only charge
these men are required TO meet Is that
they forcibly took possession. The attor-
ney declared that there is no evidence that
Sachs and Watts did so. and. therefore,
they are not guilty of the charge made
against them. Mr.. Smith pointed out that
it was conceded that at the time the prop
erty was taken possession of Sachs and
Watts were not there, but were across the
river. las far as the record is concerned,
declared the attorney, "it shows no act on
the part of Mr.. Sachs being in contempt of
this court. / take IL that when Judge Utz
asked these men whether he had jurisdic-
tion they believed he had, and 1T was their
duty as honest men to advise him and give
their opinions The attorney was some
what sarcastic at the expense of Judge
Utz, and alluded 20 his court as court
discussing the militia episode and Mr..
Sachs's alleged declaration that he was a
States rights man, remarked to the court
that il makes little difference at this day
whether Mr.. Sachs is or is not a States
rights man. THAT matter, said the at
torney, has been settled" Mr.. Smith said
his client was an impulsive man. and If he
thought the court was wrong would prob
ably say so. He alluded to Kelso as the
star witness" in the case. In conclusion
the attorney suggested to Judge Anderson
that he was dealing with men of whom he
knew nothing personally, "but good people
of their city say they are responsible men,"
