WHO GOT THE LooTi
The Indianapolis News said in
the editorial for which Mr. Roose.
Welt asSails Mr.. Smith:
sit has been charged that tho
United States bought from A mer
lean citizsns for $40, 900. 600 prop
erty that cost those citizens only
@I2 900. 900. There is no doubt
that the government paid S4O,-
600, 900 for ths property. But
who got the money!
President Roosevell's reply to
this most proper question is for
the most part a string of abusive
aud defamat0ry epiihets. But he
also makes the following state.
ments an truthful information TO
tho American people:
"The United States did not
pay a cent Of the $40, 900, 600 TO
any American citizen.
"The government paid this
$40 600, 900 direct to the French
Government, getting the receipt
of the liquidator appointed by
the French Government TO re-
ceive the same.
''The United States Govern
ment has not the slightest knowl-
edge as TO the particular individ
uals among whom the French
Government distributed the same.
$50 far as know, there was no
syndicate; there certainly was no
syndicate IN the United States,
that, to my knowledge, had any
dealings with the government,
directly, or Indirectly"
To the best of the Worlds
knowledge aud belief, each and
all OF these statements made by
Mr.. Roosevelt aud quoted above
are untrue, and Mr.. Roosevelt
must have known that they were
untrue when he made them.
The evidence before the Senate
Committee showed that there did
exist a syndicate for the purchase
aud sale of the Panama Canal.

MEXICANS aim A
BLOW At ALIENS

CITY OF MEXICO, June Great
Interest and much discussion in min
ing circles has followed the announce
nent made at the meeting of the
Chamber of Mines at its international
session that an anti-foreign measure
would be presented during the pres
cat session of congress.
The sponsors for this radical plan
outlined their scheme to the members
of the mining circles, arguing that the
laws permitting foreigners to make
developments of mining property
should be annulled They further
asked that a law be enacted prohibit
ing the requirement of mining prop
e,ty by foreigners in Mexican terri
tory. The consensus of opinion
among the best informed of mining
men today was to the effect that
should the bill be introduced during
the present session of Congress it
would have little chance of passage.
1t is believed by the conservative
element that the proposed bill will be
killed before it ever gets as far as
congress The mining properties of
the republic are largely owned by
foreign corporations, American CAPT
tai being invested to the extent of
hundreds of millions, while both the
French and English are largely rep
resented. The opponents to the
measure declare that this capital is
needed to develop the enormous min
aral resources of the republic.

CHICAGO, May Frederick l.
Lynch, manager of the Johnson cam

ment declaring that VIM. j. Bryan
cannot be nominated on the first bal
lot in the Denver convention, and as
sorting that chances for the nominal
ton of Governor Johnson on the sec :
ond or third ballot are excellent.
Lynch went over the delegate stu
alton in detail. The Southern States.
which have yet to select delegates 20
Denver, hold the key to the Presi-
Dental contest, he said. They have
ESQ votes, and more than half OF
them will be against Bryan, making
more than one-third of the national
gathering hostile to the Nebraska j,
according to Lynch.
The nominee of the Democratic
party will be named at Denver ami

ager Practically all uninstruct21
delegates will be with Governor John

BENSON PROVES
TRICKY WITNESS

WASHINGTON, June 5.-District
Attorney Baker today in the Hyde
Dmond-Schneider land fraud
cases, openly charged Benson with
willfully concealinG testimony which
he should have given in answer 70
questions asked by the prosecution
The District Attorney asked Benson
whether he had been advised by coun-
sci not to answer any question in re-
lation to the alleged bribery of Har-
Ian and Walk, clerks in the General
Land Office.
Benson. replied that he had receiF-
ed no such advice. He gave as his
reason for refusing to answer that a
charge of bribery was pending
INST himand he did not wish u
incriminate himself.
The witness was asked concerning
his relations with Henry P. Dimond
and how it was possible for him to
conduct business with Dimond as al
torney, when he had testified tina;
Dimond was employed by Hyde as
counsel under the partnership agree
ment. The District Attorney CLOSELY
questioned Benson as to the time
DImond was first employed BY him,
and the witness severely taxed his
memory to make lucid explanation
of happenings while Dimond was act
ing in dual capacity while agent
for HYDE and Benson. Little of int
nortance was brought out.

THE WEDEKIND
Mines PURCHASE

So many stories have been pub
lished about the Wedekind mine, the
property of the late Governor Sparks.
that in some quarters the fact thai
the mine was bought only after an
exhaustive examination by COM
petent expert has been lost sight of.
l.. G. Wedekind, son of the first
owner, has taken exception to some
of the stories and especially to the
idea that the property was worthless.
as some have said. His information
is interesting:
