General Attorney For the Pam

WILL NOT ANSWER QUESTIONS
Asks Dsnified Senator Not to Deal
in Frivolities = Morgan Unable to
Got Direct Answers to His Questions
Cromwell Says He Will Resign If
Requested.

Washington, May OIL will not re-
ply to hypothetical questions. II you
will be good enough to ask a question
that is pertinent. I will answer it,
Thus William Nelson Cromwell, coun-
sci for the Panama railroad, and In
that capacity en- official OF the United
States, today defied Senator Morgan
in his quest for information as to the
meaning of letter written by Crom-
well to the late Secretary Hay con-
cerning the original concession to the
Panama Canal Company. After re-
plying that the letter spoke for ITSELF
and questions relating to that trans
action were not germane to the present
inquiry of the senate COMMITTEES on
interoceanic canals Cromwell met the
rapid-f1re questions with prompt re-
fusal to answer. Morgan found III i'm
practicable to pursue the examination,
which concerned the relations of tsrom-
we'll to the old Panama company, and
turned to inquiries regarding the serv-
ices of Cromwell to the Panama Rail-
road Company.
Cromwell testified there were no laws
by which the board of directors Gf the
railroad could be removed by the pres
ident. Secretary Taft the canal COM
mission or congress, but that II. his
services were not desired he would be
glad to resign. The executive board is
elected by the board and cannot be
terminated by any other body, said
Cromwell. He had before testified that
Mr.. Farnam, clerk in his office, was al
so director Of the railroad. "Then."
said Morgan, "if the board of directors
was evenly divided on the subject the
clerk In your office could maintain
your position on the executive commit
tee" Let us not mingle business with
frivolities, ''objected Cromwell Morgan
angered by this remark, replied sharp
ly he would show the witness he meant
business. The question was repeated.
Cromwell repeated that the boards OF
directors Of all corporations are elect
ed annually by the stockholders and
the elections hold until the next annual
election. The boards, he declared.
again, have the sole control over their
cOmmltteeS. CrOmWel maze tne ex-
planation, however, that the govern
ment in this case could disqualify the
directors by withdrawing one share Of
stock held by each director. This
would necessitate the return Of $50
paid by each director for the share
held. 'Then,' said Morgan, "to re-
move you the government would have
to pay you 500" Yes. sir, and / hope
the government is able to pay It," re-
piled the witness.

experience acquired in construction of
the battleship Connecticut at the New

for construction to forty-eight months

navy yard is found to be the only place
available and suitable for this work. 1t
is pointed out that after all the new

AMENDS RATE BILL
Time in Which the Railroads Arc
Given to Get Out Of the Coal Pro-
duotion Business Extended TO 1909
Dolliver Votes Against the Amend-

Washington May 9.-The senate was
promptly today in resuming considera-
ton OF the Ellsins coal amendment to
the railroad rate bill prohibiting inter-
state railroads from engaging in the
production of coal or other commodi-
ties. The vice president announced the
amendment Of Dryden to the Elkins
provision to be in order. That ames
ment extends to July, 1911, the time
when the provision shall go into ef-
feet. Several senators made the OBJ
lection that the time suggested was
too remote and Dryden altered the date
to July, 1909. The roll call resulted in
the adoption of the amendment, A to
20. Most of the negative votes were
cast by democrats, but they were sup
ported by Burkett, Clapp, Dolliver,
Gamble, La Toilette and Lodge, repub-
licans. Clark, Of Montana, and Cralke,
of Arkansas, democrats, voted with the
republicans The action in accepting
the Dryden provision was promptly
followed by a motion by Hopkins to re-
fer the entire coal production subject
to the committee on interstate COM
merce.
Hopkins motion was declared out
of order.

STOP SPIER FUNERAL
Staten Island Business Man Shot in So
Mysterious a Manner May Not Be

New York. May 9.-Plans had been
made to have the funeral today of
Charles l.. Spier. the Staten Island
business man who was shot In so mys-
terious q manner that the authorities
cannot determine whether he was mur-
dered or committed suicide. The bull
let which caused Spier's death has nos
been located. The authorities desistsj
from the attempt to find 1t because
Mrs. Spier objected to mutilation of
the husbands body. AS the authorities
differed as to whether the bullet came
from Spier's own revolver, 1t was re-
ported today that District Attorney.
Kenney of Staten Island would refuse
to allow the funeral to proceed until a
complete autopsy had been made. Ken
ney said the bullet that killed Spier
should be found In order to determine
whether or not he was killed by his
own revolver.
