MRS. ELLA r. READER. THE WOMAN IN
THE SANTO DOMINGO CASE.
FRO WHITEWATER TO DIPLOMACY
Interesting Story Revealed by the Senates Failure to
Pass Treaty with President Morales-Agreed to
Place Country Sound Footing in Re-
turn for Important Concessions.

She went to London in 1899 and be-
came connected with the firm OF j. G.
White & Co. She had not wasted her
time in Wall street. The sultan OF
lahore came to London. He had up
his sleeve the contract for the building
of the lahore railroad, costing $4,000
600. Miss Rawls met the sultan SO
cially. J. G. White & Co. got the rail-
road contract.
The tuppenny tube had been built in
London, but was troubled with vibra-
ton. There was a call for somebody
who could cure this evil. Miss Rawls
was associated with the Sprague Null
tiple Control company. She took
look at the vibrations, and in 1901 the
Sprague company got the contract for
stopping the shudders.
Her Second Husband.
Miss Rawls was still In the employ
Of j. G. White & Co. when, in 1901, she
met and was won by Mr.. Reader His
career had been quite as interesting
as her own. He was born in New Zea-
land. British subject. He is rather
short. very dark, with black eyes and
mustache. He could pass as South
American any time. He was private
| secretary to Sir Charles Evan Smith,
| the British minister to Morocco. in
| 1892. In 1897 he became private secre-
tary to Sir West Ridgeway, governor
i of Ceylon Various circumstances
caused him to become familiar with
affairs in Peru, and while he was still
interested he met Miss Rawls in Lon
don and married her. Together they
have worked since then, and together
they now stand. Mr. Reader has the
deep mind. Mrs. Reader the quick wit.
| They worked out a great scheme OF
mining improvement in Peru and in
terested the western copper million
aire. James B. Haggin. According to
Mr.. Reader. he and his wife were to
have 10 per cent. commission for pro-
noting this scheme and according to
the same story, the plans went through
beautifully. except that the 10 per cent
was not paid.
The Peru financial arrangement is
said to have stopped threatened rev.

New York. There are always more
than one. and they are called secret
agents because, although representing
the same government. they are nearly
always unknown to each other. The
reason OF the existence OF these secret
agents need not be stated here, but
they are considered necessary to the
safety Of every president of Santo
Domingo.
1.-The gentleman in question was q
friend of ours. At this time we were
engaged In exploiting mining property
which we owned In Peru. Mrs. Reader,
at that time. had been invited by the
president of Peru to act as his agent
in this country, and the papers APP
pointing her fiscal agent were being
prepared by William Nelson Cromwell.
"She was about to go to Peru with

these papers when she was requested
by Perez, as he claimed, with the con-
sent of Gen Morales. to try and have
me interest myself in the affairs of
Santo Domingo. He stated to me that
he had heard of the success of Mrs.
Reader in conciliating both sides OF
revolutionary outbreak in Peru and
practically establishing a government
there without civil war. We could
not at that time take up the Santo
Domingo suggestions, owing to our
Peruvian engagements. but, Perez and
Gen. Morales continuing their invita-
tons and stating that they desired us
to represent them in this. country as
Intermediates with the United States,
we finally consented TO do so.
Upon the suggestion Of Mr.. Perez
the papers for that purpose were pre-
pared. and at the invitation Of Gen.
Morales | prepared to proceed with
Mr.. Perez to Santo Domingo to have
the papers executed, acquaint myself
with the conditions, and receive his in
structions.
Says Cromwell Knew of Deal.
THE papers were submitted by is
to Mr. Cromwell for his approval, and
it became necessary to explain the con-
ditions to him under which we were
led to consider these agreements. All
the things which are set out In this
statement were made known. to Mr..
Cromwell and talked over at length
with him, and he advised us that he
considered 1t was favorable enter
prise, that these papers would place
great deal of power in our hands
and that he had no doubt that the
concessions which they were promised
by the Dominican government in re-
turn for our services would be of great
value and could be readily exploited
with capital that could easily be pro-
cured in this country, and that our
official status and our friends in this
country would enable us to deal with
out any difficulty with the heads of the
United States government.
"Mr. Cromwell also promised that
on my return with these papers prop
erly executed he would take me to
| Washington and introduce me to Mr..
Hay; he explained to me, especially
with respect to the desire of the United
| States to procure the bay Of SANTANA
as a coalipg station, what authorize
