pany, was the principal witness ut the
continuation of the hearing before EX-
aminer Henry d. Oliphant as to the af-
fairs Of the defunct corporation. He
did not finish his recital, but in the
three hours that he was on the stand
he went over much of the history of
the corporation and the acts Of the men
prominent In Its history. He confirmed
the claim of the bondholders that Max
Pam, counsel for Charles M. Schwab,
had suggested a number Of the direct
ors for the shipbuilding combination
and said that the proposed expenditure
of $2,S02,0 900 for improvements at the

secure a meeting of the directors and
that Mr.. Schwab had finally told him
he had instructed the directors to re-
main away from a meeting.
An effort vas made to show that the
directors elected at the suggestion Of
Mr.. Pam had not been stockholders,
but, like the young men of the CorpO-
ration Trust Company of New Jersey
who served in the early days Of the
combination, had been given shares
enough to qualify, but MI. Nixon had
no personal knowledge of the ransac-
ton.
Mr.. Nixon testified that by resolution

ceived a share of the promotion money,
part of which he gave to Charles
Gates Of the brokerage firm Of Harris,
Gates & Co.

witness taking the stand before Nixon
was called. He testified that the Canda
Manufacturing company, for which ST.
100000 In cash and securities vas paid,
had a plant at Carteret, n. j., built for
the manufacture of car wheels, but
that at the time of its purchase it was
turning out some experimental work in
motor carriages.
Charles NJ. Schwab and Max Pam at
tended the hearing. They came to be
sworn, but remained interested listen
ers to all the testimony. They will tes-
tify later In the week.
With impetuous eagerness Mr.. Nixon
told how he had been virtually q dunn
my president of the United States Ship
building company, while Charles NJ.
Schwab and Max Pam, Mr.. Schwab's
counsel and adviser, sat by listening.
He told how he had signed papers
''foOlishly" and revealed for the first
time his view of Mr.. Schwab rs a pro-
moter whom he depicted as eager for a
large share of the prospective profits in
launching the enterprise, selling his
plant at Bethlehem for 100000 900 and
figuring as an underwater.

in official circles that the United
States of Colombia has lodged a pro.
test with the United States state de.
partment against the action of the
United States in connection with the
events on the Isthmus of Panama. The
terms of the protest could not be as.
certained, but it is known that strong
objection is made to the attitude OF
the United States In general and
against interpretations made by this
government Of the treaty of 1846 be
tween the United States Of America
and Colombia. The state department
has the protest under serious con
sideration, but the nature of it's reply
if any, or the time when it will be
made, is not known. Other than ad
hitting that such a document had
been filed in the state department
the officials would say nothing about
the matter.

EMPEROR WILLIAM HAS POLYPUS
REMOVED FROM THROAT.

Court Officials Somewhat Worried

feet Is Looked for-von Buelow
Visited With Emperor.
Berlin.-Emperor William Sunday
underwent an operation for the re-
moval Of polypus from his larynx.
The operation was entirely successful.
The only inconvenience suffered by his
majesty is that h has been enjoined
not to speak until the wound caused
by the operation has been healed. The
bulletins announcing the result of l--e
operation caused much excitement
even among court officials. who had no
suspicion that his majesty was suf-
fering from an affection of the throat.
The emperor himself appears not to
have known of the growth of his
larynx until few days ago and to
have suffered no discomfort from 1t.
The court circular made the fol-
lowing announcement:
Count Won Buelow found the en-
peror as chatty and animated as usual.
He took liquid fooas and did not IL
dulge in the courses served. His gen.
eral health has never been so good.
1t is stated that the emperor will con-
tinue to receive visitors on official
business. The growth in the larynx
at once suggested that the emperor
might be suffering from something
worse than simple polypus, but Pro-
fessor Won Lenthold, lberg, Schmidt
and Orth supplement the bulletins in
replying to inquiries by the most per-
sonal declarations that the affection
was merely good natured polypus
which is not likely to return or to be
followed by any evil effects"
The surgeons expect Emperor Will
liam will be out of doors in a week.
He has arranged hunting trip for
Friday, November 81.
