FRANCIS TEST|F|ES
FOR BAILEY
Former Governor of Mis-
souri, Repeats Denials on
Behalf of the Senator
TEXAN A BORROWER

AUSTIN, Tex. Feb. 9.-Former Gov
ernor d, r. Francis of Missouri was
the star witness today before the Bailey
investigating committee and repeated
his denials on behalf of Senator Bailey.
Senator Hangar, attorney for bailey,
submitted to Governor Francis the sec
ond clause of the Cooke charges, re-
ferring to the purchase of the Gibbs
ranch.
rs that charge true?' asked Senator
Hangar.
Absolutely false" replied Francis
Except that did assist Bailey to buy
the ranch"
He later told of having paid Senator
Baileys obligations to H. C. Pierce.
Senator Cooke asked Francis If he
was the medium through which Pierce
was to have procured Baileys political
or legal influence to re-enter the
Waters-Pierce Oil Company in Texas
Francis said emphatically that he had
nothing to do with the Waters-Pierce
Oil Company. He insisted that the
charge was a reflection upon him and
wanted 1t proved or withdrawn. The
witness wanted to be sure this state
ment got into the records.
In April, 1900, Francis wired to
Louis. He gave II. Clay Pierce let
ter of introduction to Bailey. His pur-
pose in wiring to Bailey was to bring
about a meeting. Both men were his
friends. He and Pierce were officers
of the ST. Louis Club in ST. Louis, Pierce
beng president and Francis vice presi-
dent. and they belonged to two country
clubs also. They were friends socially
but never had business relations
Pierce had asked for the conference by
telephone. He had told the witness OF
his Texas troubles and inquired as to q
Texas lawyer who could help him
Francis recommended Bailey.
What. that Texas politician" ex-
claimed Pierce.
Francis said he gave Bailey a strong
recommendation to Pierce and ther
arranged the introduction. He denied
that this had anything to do with the
Gibbs ranch purchase.
Francis said Pierce told him later
that he had lent money to Bailey. He
(Francis) found in his letter book that
on November %. 1900, he paid Pierce
$4,000. Bailey had directed him to dc
SO. He did not remember whether
Bailey did or did not advance the
money, but he would have lent it to
him any way.
Francis told Of his conference with
Pierce, in which he had said:

SENATE DISCUSSES
CUBAN AFFAIRS
Bacon Not Satisfied With
Part Congress Is Playing
in Shaping Policy There
TILLMAN INQUISITIVE

WASHINGTON, Feb. 9.-While the
Senate today questions We're asked
by Senator Bacon concerning the
amount the army appropriations have
been swelled by reason of the present
occupation of Cuba. Senator Warren
said there had been no estimate from
the department for additional ex-
penses on account of Cuban occupation
as the bill under consideration pro-
vided approximations for 1908 The in
quiry led to a general discussion, after
which Senator Cullom was called on
for. a statement as to how long the
United States intended to remain in
Cuba The Senator said he had no in
formation on the subject.
Senator Bacon said he had not been
satisfied with the part Congress has
been playing in shaping the Govern
ment's Cuban policy. He expressed the
opinion that it was for the lawmaking
and not the executive department to
say what the course Of the United
States should be in Cuba, but that he
had felt delicacy in raising the issue.
Senator Tillman said it seemed the
chairman of the committee on military
affairs was not in the confidence of the
War Department concerning the Cuban
occupation Can the gentleman give
as any information concerning the
present status of our affairs in Cuba?'
asked Tillman and Cullom replied that
he could give none whatever
1T seems little odd that the COM
mittee on foreign. relations does not
take steps to learn the conditions of
affairs there" said Tillman. He then
gave a description of the situation in
Cuba as he understood it from pub
lished reports He told of one man, an
American, having stallion stolen by
a negro patriot or rebel and of an
act of Secretary Taft confirming the
title of the animal to the negro He
said the owner of the horse could see
the negro riding it every day, but
could not recover ii.
Now, since Secretary Taft ran Pal
mas government UP tree and licensed
horse-stealing and has army engineers
surveying the islands, it seems that
we might have a little information
about what is going on, persisted Till
man.
Cullum replied that at the beginning &
of the session President Roosevelt had
sent a message to Congress telling just
what the conditions were in Cuba and
expressing the opinion that there had
been little change.
II have seen nothing about any re-
cent outbreaks or bloodshed." said TILL
man. What 1 want to know is when

SPECIAL DISPATCH TO THE CALL

SAN DIEGO, Feb. 9.-The American
Hawaiian liner Texan, which left New
Edk December 1s, arrived in port to-
day, crossing the bar drawing twenty
seven feet of water. This is the last
ship OF the line to come around the
Horn. She will run on the new sched-
ule between Salina Cruz, the Hawaiian
Islands and Pacific Coast ports. The
Texan will discharge about 1922 tons of
general merchandise at this port and
will then go to San Francisco.
An accident on the steamer last Mon
day laid up two men, the first assistant
engineer, John Barrett, and a fireman
Joe Sanchez. who were painting the
upper part of the engine-room when
the staging broke. Barrett fell thirty
five feet to the bottom of the engine
room and Sanchez fifteen feet to the
first landing. Both were injured Sc
verely and were cared for on board un-
til the steamer reached here, when they
were hurried to a hospital. Barrett
received fractures OF the arm and
shoulder blade and a rib, while San
chez's injuries consist of deep scalp
wounds. 1t is said that the Texan will
be changed to an oil-burner when she
reaches San Francisco.

COLORADO RIVER IS
IN Old CHANNEL
Nearly Entire Flow Turned
by Southern Pacific Dam,
Which Is Considered Safe
ENGINEERS SANGUINE

LOS ALGODONES, Mexico (via Hama
lon Junction, CALI, Feb "A reclama-
tion service photographer went out
today to see If any water was
flowing down the old channel of the
Colorado below the break. and he came
very near being drowned. The water
was SO swift and so deep that it pulled
him off his balance when he put his
current meter over. His Indian boat
man grabbed him by the legs and
dragged him back into the boat. When
he returned to the shore he knew
where the water was. but he did not
know how much there was in the old
channel. The gauge shows $4,000 feet
a second passing Yuma, and at least
900 are going to the gulf. But for
a ten-inch rise of the river today the
overpour at the break would have been
stopped
The water Is higher above the dam
than below 1t. Only a small quantity
is flowing toward Salton Sink. Rock is
being placed in the dam at the rate OF
more than 200 carloads every twenty
four hours, and the barrier is now
deemed entirely safe BY Tuesday
morning the rock dam will show above
water clear across the break and the
Colorado will be back in its bed.
Whether the levee extending now six
miles south from the break will hold
the spring flood is question that will
be~answered when the floods come. II
the levee stands the Imperial Valley
will be safe. If the river finds it's way
under, through or around the levee
there will be more trouble for Imperial
settlers and the railroad.
The Southern Pacific is taking nc
chances, but is hard at work placing
it's tracks above danger line around
Salton Sink. There is no doubt now
that the break will be closed, but no
body can say that there will not be
another break. Every possible precau-
ton is being observed in construction
of the levee, however, and the engineers
believe it will stand against a normal
flood.

Influences governing the market be-
ing as potent in depressing prices as

Liquidation played a large part IN
the DAYS decline, and was materially
assisted by an energetic bear faction

time to time in an endeavor To force
out long stock. Discussion as 10

ed with the manifest lack of effective
inside support ut critical times dis
couraged bull operators. and prices
were accordingly allowed to take their
course. The selling pressure shifted
about from one stock to another, but
eventually the entire district display
ed increasing weakness, which was
continued to the close. New York
Central and American Sugar were the
weakest features of their respective
groups. though the known influences
responsible for their weakness were
assumed to be radically different. In
the case of American Sugar the recent
death Of President Havemeyer was as
signed as the principal cause of the
recent heavy liquidation in that stock.
but competent market observers were
inclined to attach much credence 10 a
rumor that a successful bear operator
was making "a campaign against the
stock. Uncertainty as to the forth
coming dividend distribution on New
York Central, together with the
knowledge that further large sums
must be expended TO complete the ter
minal improvements and other pro-
jects in course Of construction, are
credited with being the primary rea-
sons for fhe extensive liquidation in
stock.
Whether the facts outlined cover
the underlying motives for the weak
ness in those stocks or not. IL is rec
ognized tina the ran kand file of spec
ulators need little more than a tenta-
tive demonstration against a stock to
encourage them to join the movement
with enthusiasm. The belief Is enter
tanned that tomorroW's bank state

although money conditions are still re-
garded as being far from reassuring,
With virtually nominal markets evist-
ing for mercantile paper, n the

tions OF an early readiustment TO a
nominal basis are not encouraging.
The October statements Of both the
Union Pacific and southern Pacific

creases in gross earnings converted
into a heavy shrinkage In net earnings
