Exrose the Grafters.

The New York World mas
unearthed scandal anent the
Panama canal matter that is
calculated to make the Republican
administration sit up and take
notice. After the Panama route
for the canal had been decided
on the United States government
paid S4O,OOO,OOO for the property
rights of the French canal
company that had begun the
work of constructing the
canal and the present route is
practically the same as that
projected 10y the French company.
Now The World charges, and
apparently with good authority,
that the amount paid the French
capitalists who controlled the old
canal route was only about one
tenth the enormous purchase
price charged the government, the
difference going to American specu-
latOrs who had b9,ughtup most of the
stock for a mere song from the
disheartened and disgusted original
promoters of the enterprise.
But the ugliest feature of the
case is the fact that the syndi.
ate that bought up the French
ccmpany's stock was composed
Of number OF prominent
Republicans who are very close
to the administration and who
knew, so to speak, just how
the cat would jump. For In:
stance, among the principal stock
holders of the American syndicate
were Douglas Robinson, brother
in-law of President Roosevelt;
Charles P. Taft, a brother of
Roosevelt's big understudy for the
leading role in national politics.
Add to this the fact that
President Roosevelt was an ardent
advocate of the Panama route for the
canal in preference to the
Nicaragua route so strongly
urged by the late Senator
Morgan of Alabama, and it
gives color to the suspicion that
If the incorruptible Roosevelt
himself did not profit by the
transaction, members of his
family and his personal friends
and political allies did feather
their nests at the expense of the
United States government.
The scheme of gigantic spec
ulation was very attractive one
and in view of the attending
circumstances the element of
risk was reduced to a minimum.

The appeal for help for the food
sufferers, which We publish this
week, is one that should touch our
hearts. The conditions described
are not overdrawn; indeed, from
other sources We learn that some of
the families are in pitiable plight.
These are not famine-stricken suf.
ferers in far.off India, but our own
people, our neighbors. This condi-
tion of distress has come upon them
through no fault of their own, but
through Providential dispensation.
Many of us are willing to give to a
worthy cause, but we do not think
about it, or it is not convenient to
doso. We shall take pleasure in for
warding every cent left with US and
the names aud the amounts of those
who contribute will be published.
Clothes and provisions may be sent
direct to the committee, whose
names are appended to the article
published elsewhere in this paper.

MONEY Is MUCH EASIER.
Europe and America Show Improved
Conditions.

Henry Clews says of the worlds fl
nancial condition.:
The most significant event of the
week was the successful underwriting
Of the $40,0O0,0O0 Pennsylvania per
cent bonds. This is a very gratifying
indication of revival of confidence. as
well as positive proof of improve
ment in monetary conditions.
Another pleasing feature connected
with the transaction is that practi-
cally one-half of the issue is to be
placed abroad; very practical DEM
onstration that there Is a revivlng
foreign market for American invest
ments of unquestlonable security es-
pecially when they are backed by
management of good reputation.
There is solid announcement in the
fact that prominent foreign bankers
are once more willing to finance our
best American railroad properties.
Europe, however, Is still In a very
discriminating mood, consequently 1t
would be premature to anticipate any
general influx of foreign capital into
this market.
During the next six or 12 months
several hundred millions of railroad
obligations will mature and must be
extended or refunded in some fash
ion or another, hence 1t is a relief to
know that Europe will take portion
OF our high grade investments.

Possession Is Lawful.
After dealing with the argument OF
counsel for the government that the
defendant was "squatter" and with

not the case, the judge continues:
''The defendant therefore is not n
squatter. His possession was lawful
at the time he initiated It. This is an
important consideration, for, II he Is

 CHATTER


than 900 Masons present. This was
 the first time that current thea5ri- cal production was ever given in the
 Masonic temple. The reason that The Servant in the House" was se-
 lected for the honor is that Charles
 Ram Kennedy's widely discussed 1 play is considered as being dra-
 matic and convincing illustration of those principles of brotherly love for which the Masonic fraternity stands. The attention of Howard lodge was l called to the play by one of it's prominent members who witnessed the performance at the Savoy and | that body at once made arrange York in it by giving this special per formance and inviting delegation from other lodges to be present.
 :II:
 Henrietta Lee Morrison was given verdict against uurtig and Sea- mon Ly Jury in the supreme court on April s, with damages at $4,7O0. The case developed out of Mrs Nor rison's refusal to wear tights in the defendants production of Me, Him and I. Mrs Morrison, known pro fessionally as Henrietta Lee, claimed that she had been engaged as star of the piece and that her costumes, which she provided herself, had been specified by the management. Af- ter playing for about two months she had she was ordered to change chr costume for one number from short skirts to tights. This she re- fused to do, and she and her hus- band, Charles P Morrison, who was in the same company, were dis charged. She brought suit for SS,-
 45v, which sum represented the amount of her salary for the re- maining part of her contract. When testimony had been taken defend ants counsel asked that the case be dismissed. Judge Gerard refused the application and said: II will hold that there is a conflict of tes- timony and that the case should go to the jury on the question of fact, will rule that under the contract the defendants had the right to com pei the plaintiff to wear tights and to buy new costume, and it is a question for the jury to decide whether she refused to do so." The suit had been pending for about two and half years, and during that $4,00O. The jury brought in a yer dict for the amount sued for, minus the amount subsequently earned.
