the Dominican government which the
Readers were to present to this govern
ment for consideration
This treaty, he said was interfered with
by Mr.. Cromwell who the Readers charge
induced the Morales government to null
lily it under the promise that the United
States deal directly with Santo Do
ningo.
Arguments Usec BY Cromwell.
Papers were read charging that Mr..
Cromwers interest began prior to the
Dillingham; Sanchez agreement, and 1t
was alleged that he sent an agent to
President Morales and used the argument
that the United States was ready to
fiji ance the Dominican government and
get 1t out of all its difficulties 1t was
charged that Mr.. Cromwell represented
a number of claimants whose securities
would be advanced in value If the United
States took charge. and that his agent
represented to President Morales that
Mr.. Cromwell was responsible for the
formation of the government of Panama,
and the United States would do for Santo
Domingo as much or more than had been
done for Panama.
When this argument was made, accord
ing to the Readers. the Morales govern
ment threw over the alleged agreement
with them. and started the negotiations
with the alleged agent of Mr.. Cromwell,
It was then that Mr.. Cromwell, 1t is al
legged. Induced Santo Domingo to ask
the United States to administer the GUS
toms affairs Of the island.
During the discussion Senator Morgan
repeatedly referred to a treaty negotiated
by the Readers which he said had never
seen the light Of day because Of the in
reference of Mr.. Cromwell's representa-
tives.
Senator Plat Of Connecticut said that
he did not want the discussion to go any
further until that treaty had been pro
duced. Thereupon II was sent to the sec
retary's desk by Senator Morgan and
read. II was declared by republican sem
ators that the treaty gave everything to
santo Domingo. concessions TO the Read
ers and practically nothing to the United
States The Senator subsequently de-
clared that charges based upon such a
document were not entitled to considera-
ton.
Senator Foraker defended Mr.. Cromwell.
saving that he knew him personally and
believed him incapable of the acts
charged.
At the same time. he said the doeu-
ments presented by Senator Morgan
should be printed in order that all OF the
senator's might have chance to exam
inc them.

PEABODY WINS
NOTABLE FIGHT
CONTINUED from First Pase.)

"Will Peabody resign?" he was asked.
Il think not was the reply
Has he signed a resignation?"
"A tentative one: yes
what will be done with it,"
Nothing" answered the chairman.
WAS this part of the plan to seat
him2"
Il believe So" responded Mr.. Farley.
The appearance at the door of Governor
Peabody interrupted the talk and later
the Governor himself came out on the
portico and addressed the crowd. lie
thanked his friends for their loyalty, but
made no reference to his intention re-
garding the governorship.
Has Been Notable Contest.
Alva Adams was inaugui ated as gover-
nor on January 10, the canvass of the
election returns by the general assembly
having shown plurality of ga votes for
him. Two days later James "A. Peabody
filed a contest for the office, which he re-
luctantly surrendered. On January II the
general assembly in joint convention au-
thorized a committee of twenty-seven
member eighteen republicans and nine
democrats) to hear the evidence in the
contest and to report conclusions. Four
teen days each were allowed the contestor
and contestee for the Introduction of evil
dence Five days addition were given the
confession to introduce evidence in rebuff
tai, The committee consumed twelve days
more in considering the evidence and pre-
pairing the reports.
The republican reports were submitted
10 the Joint convention on March 3. Four
teen republican members of the commit
tee signed a report submitted by Pea
body's counsel which found majority
for Peabody in the state by regulating
the vote of 104 precincts in Denver and
10, precincts in other counties on the
ground of fraud and conspiracy on the
part of the democrats.
Democrats Recommended Dismissal.
The nine democratic committeeman pre-
scented a report declaring that Peabody
had failed to prove his election and rec
omending dismissal OF the contest. Will
liam H. Griffith, chairman of the con-
test committee and three other republic
can members reported that there was
much fraud shown in 4S precincts OF
Denver but that the alega tions Of the
fraud in the Sc other precincts which
Peabody had asked to have thrown out
had been disproved. The report recon-
mended that the contest be dismissed
Senator Morton Alexander one Of the
sinners of the majority report, presented
also another report which recommended
that the election of governor be declared
rull and void. and that the lieutenant gov
ernor be seated as governor Alexander
subsequently amended this report by
striking out the reference to the lieuten-
ant governor The report then provided
simply for declaring the office OF gov
ernor vacant. Being asked for an opinion
on this method of settling the contest.
the supreme court pronounced the method
illegal.
