Facts as Furnished by the New York
Work.


Below arc given the actual facts of the
revelation in Panama whiclrresul,ed in the
creation Of the Republic OF Panama and
treaty with the United States by which the
latter Is to construct the Is,hmian canal.

light from that given by President Roose.
welt in his special message to both houses Of
Congress in which he declared that his Nd
nsinisira,ion had no part. directly or In
directly, In the revolution.
The World gathered there facts from men
who took an active part IN the events de-
scribed. The greatest care was taken TO
subsianiiaie all Of the statements here given.
Facts gathered from one source were sub
United TO others, usually those with interests
aniagonistic TO the original informauts, and
complete check was made by the World.
as far as could possibly be done, 10 verify
all of its information. These facts show
I. That the Panama revelation was fos-
tered and promoted in many ways by avn
diea,e of New York and Paris brokers who
had formed an immense pool for Specializing
IN the shares and other securities of the
Panama Canal Company. This syndicate
furnished 500, 600, which was used bv the
revolutionary party in Panama to perfect the
revolution. OF this money $1,000 was
used TO bride Colombian troops and Get
them to leave the Isthmus.
2. The agent of chief reliance. OF his
speculative syndicate was Philippe Bun.u-
Varilla. the present Minister of the Panama
Republic to the United States. The leading
member of the syndicate was Minister Var
illa's brother, Maurice varilla, editor Ct the
Matin, Paris newspaper The shares of
the Panama Canal Company when The
bankers syndicate took hold of the revolu-
uonary project were selling at 81 on the
Paris Bonrse. Yesterday they were selling
at us. The profits of the syndicate at
present prices are estimated at $4,000, 600.
3. That the operations of the bankers
syndicate and the connection of Minister
Varilla with the speculative pool was no,
known until quite recently by the native
Panamanians who went into the revolution
- - !" spun VI iolaity. mere
no evidence that any of these joined with
the speculative pool or reaped any of its
profits.
a. That the appointment of VariIla as
Minister Of the new republic to this country
was bitterly opposed by leaders Of the
revolutionary party on The Isihmus until
they discovered through representatives they
had sent to Washington that nothing could
be done in the way of getting assistance
fron'&his Government except through Mr..
Vanilla.
S. That some time before the revolution
occurred Varilla insisted to the active lead
ers OF the revolution tina, he must be made
Minister of the republic to this country, in
exchange for which he would furnish First.
the revolutionary fund necessary; second.
that he would have United States warships
on the scene at the proper moment 10 serve
the interests of the revoluiionisls: third.
that he would have the United States rec.
ognize the Republic of Panama immediately
after the revolution. vanlla kept all three
pledges.

How One Went Free and the Other 10
Prison Under the Same Law.


Senator Charles III Dietrich,
accused of bribery in connection
with the appointment of the post
master at Hastings, Neb., is free
man. The United States circuit
court decided that as Dietrich had
not been sworn in as a United States
Senator at the time he was accused
OF selling the postoffice. he had not
violated The law. No attempt was
made by Dietrich to prove his limo
cence.
The Senator had not only sold
the postoffice to the highest bidder,
but had succeeded in getting it
moved into building he owned,
for which he was to receive yearly
income of $1,000. although his
building was no more desirable than
the one in which IL was formerly
located, and for which the govern
ment was paying yearly rental of
800. This state of affairs is shown
by the postoffice inspectors report.
Edmund II. briggs, a former
congressman from Brooklyn, was
convicted of receiving compensa-
ton for aiding in the procurement
of contract with the government.
Although briggs attorney contended
throughout the trial that his client
was not congressman until he had
actually taken the oath of Office.
Judge Thomas instructed the jury
to find him guilty.
briggs was convicted on the same
grounds on which Dietrich secured
his freedom. Both are guilty of
being connected with the postofice
robbery and both should be severely
punished. But Dietrich is Repub-
lican and briggs is a Democrat.

WHAT THE BROwNLOw BILL WILL
DO FOR THE FARMER.

There is bill introduced in Con-
gress by the Hon. Walter P. Brown
low of Tennessee, and the Hon.
Jacob II. Gallinger, member of the
Senate from New Hampshire, APP
propriating sz4, 900, 900 on the part
of the National Government as
National aid in building wagon
roads. This money is to be appor-
toned among the States according
to their population, except that no
State shall receive less than Saso, :
900.
Each State receiving National aid
from the Government must add a
like amount to the sum received.
This will, therefore, cause the
spending of $4,000, 900 for roads
and will build from 5000 to 1000
miles of splendid road and will
place in each State from 100 to 600
miles of fine hard road, which will
not be affected by frost or spring
rains and on which the farmer can
haul the year round. 1t will be a
great advantage to those living near
It, but it will be far greater advan-
tage to the whole country because
1t will be a wonderful object lesson
and will prove TO everyone that a
good, hard road which can be used
the year round, no matter what the
rains are, is a good and desirable
thing; it will make everyone who
sees this road and who uses il want
more roads just like It, and It will
cause more roads just like il to be
built.
While under the BrownIow Bill
the building OF 1000 to ,, 900 miles
Of splendid road is a great thing,
Jet il seems to many that the great
est advantage Of this bin is the
wonderful object lesson which 100
to 500 miles OF fine road will pro-
duce when built in every State OF
the Union.
