REGARDING CANAL PURCHASE
New York World Declares Roosevelt's
Statements Untrue.

Statements Untrue.
New York, Dec. 9.-The New York
World, to which Delavan Smith, ed
itor of the indianapolis News, referred
In his reply to President Roosevelt's
attack upon him as the authority for
the article on the Panama canal
which appeared in his paper and
called forth the presidents letter,
says:
"In view of President Roosevelt's s
deliberate misstatements of fact in
his scandalous personal attack upon
Mr.. Delavan Smith, editor of the In
dianapolis News, the World calls upon
the congress of the United States to
make Immediately full and impair
tial investigation of the entire Pan
anna canal scandal.
"The investigation of 1906 by the
senate committee of the interoceanic
canals was blocked by the refusal of
William Nelson Cromwell to answer
the most pertinent questions Of Sen.
ator 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"
The World then quotes from Pres.
ident Roosevelt's letter denying the
charges and continues:
"To the best of the Worlds knowl-
edge and belief each and all of these
statements made by Mr.. Roosevelt are
untrue and Mr. Roosevelt must have
known they were untrue when he
made them"

"This statement is Intentionally
misleading. The Panama story was
used in the campaign for political
reasons solely The one thing that
gave its political value in the eyes of
those who used it was the fact that
the story, as printed, carried the
names of a brother of the Republican
candidate for the presidency and of a
brother-in-law of the president The
inference was plain enough. 1t was
that Theodore Roosevelt and William
H. Taft had used their influence as
high officials of the United States gov
ernment to help near relatives in
Lootine the Treasury

the story. If the names of Douglas
Robinson and Charles p. Taft had not
