FER OF AMERICAN PEOPLE
IN CANAL CHARGES.
HINTS At DEAL ARE LIES
Declares Charges Made In New York
World Are Baseiess and Gives
List Of Share Owners In the
Panama Canal.

Washington, ID. Gin language
probably more emphatlcally denuncl-
atory than has even been used before
In such q document, President Roose-
welt Tuesday. in a special message
to congress, arraigns Joseph Pulitzer
of the New York World, In particu-
lar. and other critics OF the admin
istration in general. for their recent
charges with respect to the purchase
OF the Panama Canal.
He characterizes the accusations as
scurrilous, libelous and false, In every
essential particular: submits docu-
mentary evidence to support his con.
tentions; brands Mr.. Pulitzer by name
as a villifier OF the American people
and declares his purpose Of bringing
a governmental action for libel. The
message. In part, reads as follows:
in view Of the constant reiteration
OF the assertion that there was some
corrupt action by, or on behalf OF, the
United States government, In connec-
ton with the acquisition Of the title Of
the French company to the Panama
canal, and OF the repetition Of the
story that syndicate Of American
citizens owned either one or both OF
the Panama companies. l deem It
wise to submit to congress all the in.
formation ! have on the subject.
To His Attention From indianapolis,
These stories we're first brought to
my attention as published in q paper
in indianapolis, called the News. ed
tied by Mr.. Delavan Smith. The sto-
ries were scurrilous and libelous in
character and false In every essential
particular. Mr.. Smith shelters him
self behind the excuse that he merely
accepted the statements which had ap-
peared in a paper published in New
York, the World, owned by Mr..
Joseph Pulitzer.
1T is idle to say that the known
character of Pulitzer and his newspa-
per are such that the statement In
that paper will be believed by nobody;
unfortunately. thousands Of persons
are ill.informed in this respect, and
believe the statements they see in
print, even though they appear in a
newspaper published by Mr.. Pulitzer.
A member OF congress has actually
introduced a resolution in reference
to these charges. therefore lay all
the facts before you"
Charges Reelted by the President.
Here the president recited the vari'
GUS charges, including those against
Charles p. Taft. brother Of William II.
Taft, and Douglas Robinson, the presi-
dents brother-in.law, Of participation
In the S4O,OO0.0OO purchase fund.

Conflicting stories From Caracas.

Conflicting Stories From Caracas.
Willemstad. 49, Conflicting stories
were received from Caracas Thursday
regarding the uprising against Presi-
dent Castro.
One report says that the declara-
ton of martial law has had the effect
of curbing the people, while later re-
ports say that the revolutionary forces
are quietly at work. and that the pres
ent calm is but the forerunner of a
demonstration that will sweep Castro
from the throne.
The people OF Curacao expect word
Of the overthrow OF the Venezuelan
government at any moment. To insure
such result. they are urging that
the Dutch demonstration against Ven.
ezuela be increased In severity, as II
is the commercial stagnation follow
ing the demonstration that has
aroused the VeneZuelans.
Caracas is badly crippled as result
Of the riotlng that took place the first
half of the week. Scores of citizens
who were known to be friends of Cas-
tro have fed to the interior for safety,
and in another break such as Mon
days their property would fall prey
to the rioters.
