HAD NOTHING AGAINST HEATH
Evidence Did Not Warrant an In
dictment.

Washington. March THE senate
committee on pOstoffices and post roads
today heard Attorney General RObb of
the pOstoffice department in advocacy
OF bill to prohibit guessing contests
carried on by newspapers and circulars
This bill was prepared in the postoffice
department and introduced by Senator
PenrOse
During the course of Mr.. Robb's
statement. the subject of the postofFice
investigation was referred TO. Senator
Culberson asking if some men had not
been protected by the statute Of limita-
tion.
Mr.. Robb said he believed such was
the case. Senator Culberson then asked
if Perry s. Heath was not one OF those
protected by the statute.
Mr.. Robb answered in the affirmative
adding that-On account Of the position
which Heath occupied both officially
and politically he would have been glad
to have prosecuted him.
senator Scott at this juncture de-
clared that Mr.. Robb was going out
side his province in making such a
statement. He declared that the post
master general did not authorize him
To make any such statement. and would
disapprOve of his doing so. Senator
Scott moved that all reference TO the
matter be stricken from the record.
This motion was carried by a strict
party vote
Senators CulbersOn and Clay strongly
objected TO the proposition To strike
the statement made by Mr.. Robb from
the record.
subsequently,. Mr.. Robb stated that
what he intended TO say was that if
the evidence had warranted the indict-
ment of Heath he would have been
glad TO see him take his medicine" on
account OF the high position he (Heath)
held Robb also pointed out that in a
public document presented TO the SEN
ate by Senator Hale Il was shown that
Mr.. Robb expressed the opinion, that
only a suspicion lay against Heath and
that there was not sufficient evidence
TO warrant an Indictment
Senator Clay moved TO report favor
ably a resolution introduced Some time
ago by Senator Penrose calling for a
congressional investigation of the post
Office department. On this motion the
four Democrats present and Senator
Penrose voted aye and five RepubIi-
cans in the negative. Senator Penrose

KNOX SATISFIED
AS TO LEGALITY
Attorney General Passes Upon
Title to Panama Canal.
MONEY WILL SOON BE PAID
TRANSFER CAN BE MADE IN
THIRTY DAYS.
MONEY WILL SOON BE PAID

Washington, March "A conclusion
ot the negotiations Of the title To the
Panama canal property is in sight.
Within thirty days perhaps in a short
or time, the United States VIII be in
iull possession of the property and the
money consideration will have been
paid TO both the republic OF Panama.
and 10 the new Panama Canal COM
pany.
Attorney General Knox had a confer
ence today with the president, at which
the whole subject, 50 far as the legal
phases Of it are concerned, was con-
sidered and decided. At the conclusion
OF the conference the attorney general
authorized the following statement:
Can Pay at Once.
II have advised the president that he
is authorized TO pay ut once to the re-
public Of Panama the $4,000 900 ar
ranged for by the treaty, the ratifca-
tions Of which have just been ex-
changed. Also that he is authorized
10 pay TO the new Panama Canal COM
pany the S40,OO0,009 which under the
agreement between the United States
and that company we are TO pay fer its
property, and have notified the canal
company we are ready 20 close the
transaction.
The details in connection with the
u aASieI q the canal COmpdny'S prop
erty should not require more than
thirty days"
Knox Is Satisfied.
II appears that Mr.. Knox is satisfied
perfectly with the title which the canal
company is able 10 pass 10 the United
States In his opinion IL viii not be
necessary to pursue the investigation
further
Mr.. Knox declines to discuss thepend-
ing litigation in the French courts. but
the Inference from his authorized
statement is plain that ne does not re-
gard It as a serious menace TO the
validity OF the title to the property
which the company viii pass to the
United States.
10 has not been determined how soon
The Sl000O,000 win be paid to the repub-
il Of Panama, but IL is quite likely
that il will be paid soon.
Secretary Shaw practically has COM
pietcd arrangements at the treasury
department for the money necessary
10 meet the obligations incurred
through the purchase Of the French
Compaays property.
His arrangements have been effected
in such a manner as not to disturb
seriously the financial condition of the
country.
