MORGAN ROASTS
PANAMA ROAD
":MOst Reckless Agency lhaI
Ever Assailed Commercial
Interests of Country.
SAYS il is Legal Fiction to Enao'e
This Country to Avoid Its Re-
sponsibiIity as Corn
mon Carrier.

Washlngton.--In the senate on
Thursday, Senator Morgan OF Ana
bama devoted two hours to the dis
cussion OF his resolution to secure the
control OF the Panama railroad by the
Isthmian canal commission.
Mr.. Morgan spoke of the Panama
road as legal fiction or an artlhcial
entity to enable this country to avoid
its responsibility as a common car
rier."
If congress should enact law re-
quir1g the tearing up Of the Panama
railroad, Mr.. Morgan said no creditor
could enjoln suchc destruction.
Mr.. Morgan maintained that Mr..
Cromwell, whose several connections
with the Panama government and the
canal commission he enumerated, was
the only one who benefited by this
manner of managing the road.
1T gives Cromwell as absolute CON
troll of the road as is he was its sole
owner" he declared.
Mr.. Morgan advocated putting the
railroad under the control of the canal
commission. although with the control
the president exercised over this COM
mission, he said amy wild, arrogant
man who happens to be president
could inflict incalculable injury on the
country"
Mr. Morgan finished with state
ment that the Panama railway was the
most reckless agency that ever
assailed the treasury or the CONNER
cial interests OF the United States.
