New York, Dec. S-The New Yorl,
World, to which DelaTin Smith editor
of the Indianapolis News, referred I'm
his reply 10 President RooseveIt's al
tack on him, as the authority for the
article on the Panama canal which ap-
peared in his paper and called forth
the presidents letter, says today:
IN view Of President Roosevelt's
deliberate miss tatements of fact in his
scandalous personal attack on Mr..
Delavin Smith, editor of the Indian
apolis News, the World calls upon the
congress of the United States TO i'm
mediately make fun and impartial
investigation of the entire Panama
canal scandal.
The investigation of 1906 by the
senate commission of the inter-oceanic
canals, was blocked by the refusal of
William Nelson Cromwell to answer
the most pertinent questions of Sena-
tor Morgan of Alabama. Since that
time nothing has been done because
after Senator Morgan's death there
was no successor to carry on his
great work OF revealing the truth
about Panama corruption.
What the News Said.
"The Indianapolis News said in the
editorial for which Mr.. Roosevelt as
sails Ir- Smith:
IL has been charged that the
United States bought from American
citizens for $4,000. 600 property that
cost those citizens only $4,000. 900.
There is no doubt that the government
paid S40.000.000 for the property. But
who got the money!"
President Roosevelt's reply to this
most proper question is for the most
part a string of abusive and defama-
tory epithetS. But he also makes the
following statements as truthful in
formation to the American people:
1.-The United States did not pay a
cent of the S4O,GO0,00O to any Ameri-
can citizen. The government paid
the sac, 900, 900 direct to the French
getting the receipt of the
liquidator appointed by the French
government to receive the same.
The United States government
has not the slightest knowledge as TO
the particular individuals among
whom the French government distrib-
uted the same.
$50 far as / know there was nc
syndicate: taere certainly was no syn
dictate in the United States that to my
had any dealings with the
government, directly or Indirectly.

JERSEY CITY, April 1.-THE re-
serves CT the First Precinct were called
out today to quell a fair-sized riot that
arose between the union truckmen and
the nor-union men employed by Con-
tractor Reardon. The trouble grew out
of the discharge of Charles Johnson,
a union man, by Reardon last night.
The others who work in his trucking
stable at Pavonia avenue and Mon
mouth streets refused to let Reardon
and his son and the non-union men they
had gotten together today go about
their work and held VI trucks at New
ark ven and Warren street with a
fusilade of stones. The crowd was dis
,persed by the police. Johnson was re-
instated and the men went back to
work.

TELEPHONE MAIN 66i.
THE LYTLE ROAD.

| 1t is a plain, and paramount, fact
that the franchise for the Lytle rail-
way from Hillsboro westward to As
toria and Tillamook, makes this city
the coast terminal OF the line, and Til
lamook a southern semi-terminal and
branch depot. This is significant and
interesting to all concerned; and
while it does not deprive the Tilla-
mookians Of a single shred OF advan-
tage accruing to them by the entry
of the road into their territory, it does
amplify the situation considerably
for Astoria by making it imperative
that the road shall come here primar-
lily, despite the suggestive silence OF
the Portland press on this phase OF
the question.
Everything now marks the coming
of the line direct to this city and har-
Dor, and there is logical and rational
reason for it; though It took the time
and interested inspection of the sit
uation at the hands OF the S. P. wise
man, Julius Kruttschnitt TO enforce
the all but abandoned plans for this
enterprise. The Nehalem valley and
its superb possibilities are response
BILE for the sudden revulsion in the
minds of the Hartman coterie, and
formed the basis OF Mr.. Kruttschniitt's |
recommendation for the revival OF
the work and its instant and full COM
pletion; as well as the admirable ends
to be served by definite and useable
Pacific terminal within few ships
lengths of the sea.
The logic that nature employees in
the scheme of commercial develop
ment is insurmountable and forever
apparent to reading eyes. The COM
merce Of the northwest can no more
overlook the superb advantages Of this
port and harbor than the sunbeams
,an fail to filter through space. 1t is
Inevitable that something shall be
lone to utilize the wonderful agencies
aid in the hand of progressive man at
his place; there is something
'ut curious in the fast moving certain
y that F. H. Hartman, the man who
las been, with more or less aptitude,
allied the champion bother" in the
ailway world, should be the first to
eally make use Of the specific ad-
antages here.
