NO GRAFT ON CANAL.
Mr. Taft Denies R"mors Caused
by Sending of accountant.

Washington, June 20-"After investigating
every charge which has been brought to my
attention whether apparently well founded or
not, 1 have been unable TO find single penny
of graft going TO any one IN connection with the
isthmian canal work"
This statement was made by Secretary Taft
to-day when his attention called to the
statements that special accountants had been
sent to the isthrnus to examine the books of the
disbursing officers of the commission. Secretary
Taft said he had sent to the isthmus q COM
netent accountant to look into the methods of
keeping the commissary accounts there and to
prepare a new method whereby the commission
will be able to ascertain better the cost of sup
niles and the proper price TO which they should
he sold to employees. Some inquiry has de-
welcomed that the commission was making too
large q profit out of the commissary and rather
than have this happen the government will pro-
vide a more liberal bill of fare. it's object being
to keep up the food supply at high standard.
There was no evidence OF graft. however, the
Secretary declared
Secretary Taft also said that the Treasury De-
nartment had at his request sent four employees
n the isthmus to count the cash in the hands of
the disbursing officers. following the retirement
of Chief Engineer Stevens This cash, he says.
was regularly counted by officers on the isthmus.
but the Secretary deemed II proper that the
count be made by others than employees Of the
