DECLARES PAPER TRUST"
IS NOT OvERCAP|T TAILED
Vice President Lyman Denies In
ternational Company Has
Watered Stock.
TESTIFIES IN INQUIRY

WASHINGTON, April &c. W. Lyman,
vice president of the International Paper
Company, entered general and specific
denial before the House committee the
judiciary to-day of the charges against the
paper trust" recently made before the
committee by Don c. Spitz and John Nor
ris, representing the business management
of the New York World and New York
Times, respectively.
In denying that the International Paper
Company was overcapitalized Mr.. Lyman
said that the property of the company could
not be duplicated for its present capitaliza-
ton. This capitalization, he said, was s22-
100000 in preferred stock. s17.000.O0O in COM
mon stock and about s13OOO,0O0 in bonds
Six per cent. dividends, he said. were paid
on the preferred stock and 2 per cent. was
paid the first year on the common, but
nothing since
In answer to a question by Representa-
tive Powers. of Massachusetts, he said the
price of the preferred stock was s67 a share
and the common $12. Mr.. Powers asked if
the price of this stock indicated that there
was dollar for dollar back of it, and sug-
gested that railroad shares paying per
cent. sold for something like Sl35 a share
THE price of your stock would indicate
that the public regards the property ii rep
resents as worth about % per cent. on the
dollar" said Mr. Powers.
Mr.. Lyman said he would make no at
tempt to account for the opinion of invest
ors, but he knew the water power, the wood
lands and the mills of the company could
not be duplicated for the amount at which
the company was capitalized.
He was asked by Representative De
Almond if he would object to the removal
of the tariff on wood pulp and paper. He
said he would not advise such move.
Mr.. Lyman denied that there was a divi-
sion of territory between his company and
the combination in the West.

MR.. MORGAN ATTACKS
THE NEW CANAL COMPANY
Speaks of Mystery and Delay, and
Calls Frenchmen Fraudulent
REGULATORS.
MIR. HALE'S AMENDMENT

WASHINGTON, April 13.-The Senate to-
day began consideration of the bill provid-
ing for the government of the Panama
canal zone. The greater part of the day
was occupied by Mr.. Morgan in support of
amendments offered by himself. None of
them was accepted and the reading of the
bill was nearly half completed. Mr.. Nor
gan attacked the new Panama Canal Com
pany and contended that the United States
should proceed to carry into effect the pro-
visions of the treaty with Panama regard
less of the demands of that company. He
accused the President of defying the law
in yoking the payment of 100000 to Pan
anna with the payment to the new Panama
Canal Company, and again referring to the
difficulty of securing information, ex-
claimed:
"In that nest of fraudulent pecuators in
Paris, or possibly in New York, if not still
nearer home, is to be found the explana-
ton of the mystery and delay. Somebody
is going to profit by it. Who is it?''
Mr.. Morgan read from an article giving an
account of the British government sending
a gunboat to Nicaragua for the protection
of the Mosquito Indians under a treaty en-
tered into between Great Britain and the
question" had been stirred up to disguise a
plan the part of Great Britain to bring
about the building of a canal by the Costa
Rica- Nicaraguan route. He said the gov
eminent of Great Britain could furnish the
money and provide for the building of the
canal just as the Suez canal was built.
THAT is all there is to the Mosquito ques-
ton," he said. He added in concluding
that he knew Mr.. Kittredge was burn
ing with anxiety to reply"
Mr.. Hale presented an amendment to the
Panama canal bill requiring that all stores,
machinery and men TO be used in connec-
ton with the construction of the canal be
transported in United States built vessels
whenever reasonable rates can be secured.
Upon the request of Mr. Fairbanks the
Senate to-day ordered the printing of the
late President McKinleys last speech at
Buffalo as public document In present.
ing the request Mr.. Fairbanks stated that
there are many inquiries for the address.
A bill was passed fixing the salary of
the United States consul at Nieu-C hwang.
China at 81 600 per annum.

ed TO drink, although he recently tried
to master the habit.

NO INTENT TO CONDUCT
POSTAL INVESTIGATION
Suggestion that Senate Postoffice
Committee Sit During the Recess
Is Not Favorably Received.
CLAMOR OF DEMOCRATS

Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
WASHINGTON, April 13.-The gossip
about the possible investigation of the Post
office Department to be encouraged by the
Republican senators has just this basis of
fact, and no more:
A few of the senators made suggestion
that it might be a good plan to have the
postoffice committee of the Senate en-
powered to sit during the recess of Con-
gress and to act on any specific charges
which might be made by the Democrats.
who are constantly charging that corrup-
ton still exists in that department. Even
that plan is not regarded with favor by the
Republican leaders, as ii is claimed that the
Democrats will not make any specific
charges, and that il is useless to proceed
along the line suggested.
1t is known that several of the most in
iuential members of the postoffice COM
mittee are opposed TO the scheme, and the
information was current to-day that all the
foremost senators on the Republican side.
with the exception of Senator Aldrich, of
Rhode Island, opposed to it. Sen
ators Allison, Hale, Spooner, Platt and

nized as factors in determining the policy

1t is claimed by the Republican leaders
that any attempt to make investiga-

Defended by Edgar d.
Crumpacker.

WASHINGTON, April 13-Under a spe-
cial rule the House to-day devoted itself
to consideration of a bill amending the
law relating to the Philippine islands The

capital actually invested in such railroads

talists were ready to build the roads with
out the guarantee Messrs. Cooper, of Wis
consin, and Crumpacker, of Indiana, in urg-
ing the passage of the bill declared that it
properly safeguarded the interests of the
Philippines.

part by Secretary Taft and had the unani-
nous approval of the Republican members
of the committee and the unanimous oppo-
sition of the Democratic minority He an
swered the criticisms in the report of the
minority members of the committee with
respect to the establishment of a repre-
sentative government in the Philippines
by saying that from the very nature of
things no such government could exist in
these islands. because the Filipino could
not stand alone, and in support of this
declaration he quoted from reports of Ad-
miral Dewey, General Otis and Commits
sIoners Schurman and Worcester, who en-
tertained that view.
Mr.. Crumpacker defended the policy of
the Republican party in the Philippines
and said with the United States behind the
Philippines government the affairs of that
government would be safely, honestly and
economically administered, and that no
obligation would be permitted behind which
there was not sufficient assets.
