THE CANAL QUESTION.
Presidents Dismissal Of Walker Com
mission Is Discussed.

Washington, March ;N.-Thc course OF
President Roosevelt in Diminishing tn.
members of the Walker canal commission
was inquired into by Senator Morgan to.
day when George W. Davis, former gov
ernor of the canal zone and later a. mem
Der of the advisory board Of engineers
was on the stand. Senator Hopkins oh
jected on the ground that an officer OF
the army should not be put in the position,
of critlcising his superior officer. Cen
eral Davis himself said he thought /:
would be highly improper for him to make
such an answer.
Senator Morgan read the letter of tn"
President dated April !, 1885,, declaring
that the practical results accomplished
had not been satisfactory and declaring
the necessity for q change in the per.
scnncl of the commission. General Davis
had said that the work Of the commission
had been excellent and that so far a.
he knew there had been no delinquency
on the part of any member of that COM
mission. Senator Morgan asked whethes
any action by any commissioner had re-
tarded the work on the canal when Sen
ator Hopkins made his objection.
II might say that my opinion would
not be conclusive and l would not pre-
sumo to question the right of the Presi-
dent to take the course he did. / think
such authority is necessary to the chief
magistrate Of the nation" said General
Davis.
For several minutes Senators Hopkins
and Morgan engaged in Il spirited colo
guy and finally Senator Taliferro said to
Senator Hopkins:
You are assuming to protect 4 witness
who has seemed we'll able to take care &,
himself. l think the witness should he
permitted to say whether it would b.
embarrassing to answer
1T would be the height of improperly,

To Pass on Jerome's Case
Against c. n. Bliss.
Payment Both Illegal and I'm.
moral, District Attorney Says.
Judge Cohen Draws Parallel 10 Justify Pay
meat Of Money 10 Committee.

New York, March 30.-Arguments on
the habeas corpus proceeding in the
case Of George w. Perkins. former
vice president of the New York Life
Insurance Co., who is charged, IN a
warrant issued by Magistrate Moss,
with the larceny of $40, 7O2 belonging to
the policy holders OF the New YoIH
Lie, which he advanced to Cornelius
n. Bliss. treasurer nf the Republican
national committee. We're made today
before Justice GreenBaum in the State
supreme court. Decision was reserved.
Briefs will be filed Monday by contend
ing counsel and then Justice Green
| baum will take the matter of the
legality of Mr. Perkins arrest under
Amusement.
District Attorney Jerome argued for
the prosecution and Former Judge Will
lam n. Cohen and Lewis Delafield ap-
peared for the defendant. Justice
Grtenbaum took the livelieSt interest
in the arguments and constantly inter-
rupted Mr.. jerome and MessrS. Cohen
and Dclafield with pointed questions.
Mr.. Jerome said that criminal intent,
according to legal authorities was to
appear from all the circumstances of
the case.
THE question here" he continued,
lis as to the right of Mr.. Perkins to
pay the money of the policyholders to a
political organization for the purpose of
influencing the result of certain poll
teal matters at the polls. This is very
far from being a case where there is
an absence of moral guilt or turpi-
tudr. Shall the officers of a CORPORA
ton or single officer say, take the
money of the pOlicyholders. take yours
and my money and give it to a politi-
cal party say that such an act is in
herent'y wrong. Whether it is pro-
hibited by law or not I say that it is
contrary to public policy, contrary to
public morality and contrary as well to
private morality and common decency
Half Of the policyholders may have
been Democrats and to take their
money to assist the Republican party
certainly goes to the establishment Of
felOniOuS intent
Justice Greenbaum asked: IF YOU
maintain that this was an illegal act,
under what classification do you put
it?"
4ii. oeioiiie Itpiitu: tnink tnat the
payment was both illegal and immoral.
/ claim that il was both and that it
was criminal"
Drawing parallel in justification of
the payment Of money to the Repub-
lican committee, Judge Cohen said that
President John a. Mccall of the New
York Life. had at different times di-
rectcd the payment of large sums of
money for the relief of the JohnStown
flood and in Il yellow fever epidemic at
New Orleans. These payments may
have been outside the vested authority
OF the president he said but surely not
Illegal, certainly very far from crimi-
nal.

that young NOrthy was not. in his
