Wallace Gets after
SECRETARY TAFT AGAIN
DECLARES SECRETARY rs TRY-
ING TO BESMIRCH HIS
CHARACTER.

In Order to Make Second Assault Upon
Him, the Former Chief Engineer of
the Panama Canal Says Taft Has
Tried to Have Put In Public Record
Statements He Would Not Make al
One Man to Another, Face to Face
Accuses Governor Magoon of Breach
of Confidence.
Washington, May 28.-Former Chief
Engineer John #. Wallace, Of the istN-
mian canal, to-day addressed a lettar
to Senator Killard, chairman of thh
committee on interoceanic canals, in re-
ply to Secretary Taft's recent testimony
before the committee, in which he
charges Secretary Taft with having
abused his official position in order to
make second assault upon him and to
place in a public record statements
Calculated and apparently intended to
affect my reputation for veracity, such
as he would not make to me, ais one
man to another, face to face" He also
imputes to Governor Magoon breach
of confidence in having advised him to
take certain course Of action and
then anticipating it by secretly writing
to Secretary Taft. While expressly
stating that he bears no ill-win toward
William Nelson Cromwell, MT. Wallace
speaks Of the bias Of Secretary Taft in
favor Of that gentleman. In this letter
Mr.. Wallace refers TO the Manhattan
hotel interview with Secretary Taft,
saying he is of the opinion that Secre-
tary Taft on that occasion prejudged
his motive, and that the secretary's ac~
tions and remarks were pre-arranged.
The presence of Mr.. Cromwell at that
interview, Mr. Wallace says, prevented
a free presentation Of his views, and he
adds that he believes a steitosFapher
was concealed in the room where The
interview was held, or the adjoining
one there in order to take notes Of the
conversation.
Mr.. Wallace next refers to conver-
sation on the isthmus with Governor
/ Magoon, in which he says that Gov
ernor Magoon himself Suggested to
me that I should request Secretary Taft
to appoint me chairman of the COM

no demands of Secretary Taft, that Mr..
Shonts was my personal friend, and
that I much preferred going to Mr..
Shonts and putting it to him straight
I also requested Governor Magoon to
make no suggestions to Secretary Taft
/ The breach Of confidence upon the part
Of Governor Magoon In advising me to
take certain line Of action, and then,
/ presuming that such advice would be
followed, secretly urging to Secretary
Taft as to what he thought he would
probably do, speaks for itself.
