ABBOT ADMITS He WAS
MISTAKEN ABOUT the CUSTOMS

Washington. Feb 15.-John T. Abbott,
who was designated by the United States
= to aet- a. ascaLagent- under the aXard OF
July IA, 1904. in the case OF the San Do
mingo Improvement company. I'm discuss
ing Dominican affairs, made the following
statement:
"Since my return TO this country from
San Domingo advces from authoritative
sources in that republic have been
brought TO my attention. which cannot
be reconciled with the assertion made
by me the day / arrived I'm New York
from Santo Domingo. 10 the effect that
the United States had taken over tho
administration OF the Dominican custom
houses on Feb. ] under the terms OF the
so-called Dillingham; Sanchez agreement.
These advices compel me 10 conclude
that my statement 10 that effect was
erroneous. When / left the capital on
Jan. 81, II was a matter OF common
notoriety throughout the republic. SUBJ
stantiated by statements OF the Domini-
can officials that the Dillingham; Sanchez
protocol was an accomplished fact. and
that all the custom houses except Puerto

the United States government on Feb. l.

ment. nor did anyone I'm Santo Domingo.
except officials. who had right 20 know
have any information Of that fact when
sailed.
'1 was absolutely ignorant OF this non
acceptance when my statement was made.
The evidence ] have seen Is conclusive
that my statements concerning the taking
OF ports under the protocol were incorrect,
and that the United states never took any
action Hereunder
Tho Dominican officials were undoubt-
edly exceedingly desirious for local DO
litical reasons OF an extremely urgent
character to create everywhere the i'm
preston that the agreement OF Jan. 20
would he carried i'm effect on the date
named. since IL was generally admitted
by natives and foreigners alike that the
prompt execution OF the protocol would
not only prevent the then impending
rrxolution. but would also rendar sub
sequent disturbances Of the peace i'm
possible
1T Is true that the custom house at
Monte Christi has been turned over 20 the
United States government at the request
OF the Dominican government. under the
provisions OF the arbitration award OF
July IA. 1904. a wise and fortunate meas
ure. In my opinion, for all concerned"

Washington, Feb 15.-When the hearing
on railroad rates before the senate COM
n,ittee on interstate commerce was re-
eumed yesterday Daniel Davenport OF
Bridgeport. Conn. speaking on behalf OF
an organization 90 holders OF railway Sc
curities. confined his discussion TO the
Esch- Townsend bill.
This was by direction OF Senator roster
OF Louisiana who said he understood that
this measure was passed by the mouse III
response 10 the presidents message on
rate legislation.
MIR Davenport said there were consu-
tutlonal obstacles in the way or carrying
out the views OF tho president as express
ed in his message, and he read from deci-
sions In support OF his contention that jn-
dicial powers cannot be conferred on the
Interstate Commerce commission
Since coming 10 Washington Mr.. Dav-
enport said he had learned that the
Democrats had adopted as part OF their
platform the theory that the Interstate
commission should be given power TO nix
definite rates.
Senator Foster Of Louisiana interrupted
saying: Haven't you confused that with
the presidents messageY'
.'\Vell you know when Phaeton tried 10
a, I'VE the chariot OF the sun he found no
one riding with HIM" replied Mr., Daven-
port. II think the Democrats are trying
10 ride on the presidents chariot
''No, the president is trying TO get on
our chariot" said Senator Carmack.
well. know Nc has gotten out OF
mine" said Senator Kean.
Senator CNIllom, who came in late. COM
menting on the fact that Mr.. Davenport
mad been before the committee two days,
said: Let us have the discussion confined
10 the Esch- Townsend bill. II It is wrong.
let US right H. III IL is right. let us report
the bill"
Chairman Elkins thought that matter
was a subject for an executive session.
but Senator Cullom said he could not see
the need for that any more than for the
unnecessary delay in reporting the bill in
some form.
The hearings will be continued Friday.
