Taliaferro Catches On"

Senator Taliaferro then caused the
chairman bad quarter of an hour by
referring to the fact that in examin-
ing the witness Senator Willard had
read from a paper and that in an
swering the witness also had referred
to a paper. He demanded to know
whether any understanding or agree
ment existed between them.
Chairman Willard said he had pre-
viously submitted his questions to Mr..
Markell. Senator Taliaferro demanded
that the written paper containing the
replies of the witness be inserted in
the record. Mr.. Markell objected be-
cause, he said, there were interlinea-
tons and errors in spelling.
I'll take 1t just as 1t is" exclaimed
Mr.. Taliaferro. The examination of
Mr.. Markell was not concluded.
Again Witness
Mr.. Markell was again witness last
Monday.
Mr.. Markell admitted that he had
seen Chairman Shonts of the canal
committee and William Nelson Crom-
well, counsel for the Panama Railroad
company, and had discussed his testi-
mony with the gentlemen, but only
In a general way.
Mr.. Taliaferro put into the record a
statement prepared by his clerk show
ing that under the Hudgins a Dumas
contract the receipts for the first year
would have been s39, 900 less than I'M
der the Markell contract, and In hve
years $69l 200 less. II was shown
further by Mr.. Taliaferro that If all
