compared with the sum paid by the
United States government. Though
the form was gone through of send
ing the $40,000.O0O here through
the banking house of J. Pierpont
Morgan & Co., instead OF French
stockholders getting the money, il
Is believed that most OF 1t was dis
tributed to representatives OF the
american syndicate members.
The report made by the Worlds
lawyers makes clear the fact that
full information of the identity OF
those who got the 100000 is in

OF the payments having been turned

themselves, wiped 1t off the face of
