CROMWELL IS
BELL|GERENT
SHARP TILT WITH MORGAN
IN COMMITTEE ROOM

Washington Feb. 26.--The eXami-
nation of William Nelson Cromwell
who has figured largely i'm connection
with the sale of the Panama canal
property to the United states. was be-
gun today by the senate committee on
iuter-oceanic canals Many of the
questions asked Mr. Cromwell related
to the interview at the Manhattan ho-
tel in New York regarding the resg-
nation Of Mr.. Wallace, when Secretary
Taft. Mr.. Wallace ana Mr.. Cromwell
ere present There were frequent
tits between the witness and Senator
Morgan because the former was not
more specific in his answers TO ques-
tions by the senator. 1t eliminated
dramatically at the close of the day,
when MI Cromwell refused to answer
various questions asked by the sena-
tor. and the latter decalred he would
deal with the witness in the senate
when the facts regarding the resigna-
ton of Mr.. Wallace came out.
Mr. Cromwell replied with some
warmth that that was the "only safe
place to do it."
Every Penny Accounted For.
Mr.. Cromwell in his statement de-
c.ared that every penny of the money
paid by the United States government
for the purchase of Panama railroad
stock and for the French canal prop
erty had been accounted for He
stated that he had declined to accept
the position of counsel for the canal
commission. and that his activity had
been largely upon the invitation Of the
president and secretary of war. He
said that his only financial interest on
the isthmus or i'm the republic of PAN
anna was a personal investment I'm the
capital stock of the Pan-American
corporation. Of which he owned SELL
500 out of total capital of $229,OOO.
A feature of Mr. Cromwells state
ment. and upon which he was closely
questioned. was with reference TO the
retirement of Chief Engineer Wallace
and the testimony which Mr.. Wallace
had given before the committee. He
said that the explanation which Mr..
Wallace gave the committee was radi-
cally different from that which he
gave at the time he retired, which was
that he had been offered a larger sal
ary: that his reasons given after the
| Manhattan hotel interview made no
reference to Cromwell; that in let
| ter to Chairman Shonts the day after
the interview no allusion was made to
! Cromwell Mr.. Cromwell quoted from
this letter In substantiatlon OF this.

Scenes In the Stricken city.

Mr.. and Mrs. H. o. Sweat, who have
spent many vacations in BraJtleboro and
Townshend. particularly the latter town,
were in San Francisco at the time of the
earthquake. They spent the winter at
Los Angeles and arrived in San Francisco
two days before the shock occurred.
Letters mailed at Petaluma but written
in San Francisco have been received from
them, in which they tell of the terrible
billowing, twisting. Jerking shock, then
of the confusion In the crowded streets
and the horrors which followed two days
and nights while the confagratlon was
raging and the explosions Of dynamite were
being heard at intervals. This is a quota
ton from one letter: Thirsty. hungry,
choking from the dense smoke, historical
women and worn-out men walked the
streeus until they dropped anywhere and
went to sleep. They had watched the
sly-scraper section crash into chaos,
carrying millions of dollars with It; they
had seen the seVen-hOur battle to save
the United States mint when 1t was sur
rounded by a sea of flame; they had seen
the world famous Palace hotel wither and
drop inuo its bed Of ashes. While they
slept In the streets the fire would come
too close and the soldiers would arouse
them to start them moving on again.
While Mob hill was a mountain OF fire the
people wondered II the burning Of Rome
could have been more terrible. In one
quarter 500 gallons of wine were used to
fight the flames. On Valencia street, made
ground, houses sank two stories beneath
the earth. Beautiful Golden Gate park
has become hospital. nursery and home
for countless thousands. Every
body is an animated interrogation ponit
and everybody is hopeful, thus showing
that the old spirit Of 40 is not extinct.
The Unconditional nature OF the Chinese
was demonstrated by the solemn, funeral
like manner I'm which they left behind
their Chinatown. Lepers crept out OF
holes. unable to stand erect. and so hOrri-
bly, distorted they looked less than human.
Consumptives and opium fiends were a
sickening sight. 1t is supposed they lived

rinths, a tenth part Of which no tourist

LIneoIn's Early HeroIsm.

One act OF his while a member of the
legislature requires special mention be-
cause of the great events of his after
life. Even at that early date, nearly a
quarter of a century before the beginning
of the civil war, slavery was proving a
cause OF much trouble and ill-will. THE
abolitionists," as the people were called
who wished the slaves to be Tree, and the
"pro-slavery' men. who approved OF keep
ing them in bondage. had already come
to wordy war. Illinois was a free state,
but many of its people preferred slavery,
and took every opportunity OF making
their wishes known. In 1887 the legisla-
ture passed a set Of resolutions "highly
disappearing abolition societies" Lincoln
and Ave others voted against 1t; but, not
content with this, Lincoln also drew up a
paper protesting against the passage of
such a resolution and stating his views on
slavery.
They were not extreme Views. Though
declaring slavery to be an evil, he did
not insist that the black people ought to
be set free. But so strong was the popu-
lar feeling against anything approaching
"abolitionism' that only one man out Of
the five who voted against the resolution
had the courage to sign this protest with
him. Lincoln was young, poor, and In
need of all the goodwill at his command.
Nobody could have blamed him for leaving
1t unwritten; yet he felt the wrong Of
slavery so keenly that he could not keep
silent merely because the views he held
happened to be unpopular; and this pro-
test, signed by him and Dan Stone, has
come down to us, the first notable public
act in the great career that made his
name immortal-[From Helen Nicolay's
