Loan of $4,000 to Milwaukee Church
Is Explained in New York Bank
ruptcy Hearing.

NEW YORK, Feb. 1.-Business meth
DDS followed by the Fidelity Funding
company were described today by Pat
rick j. Kieran, former president of the
now bankrupt concern, at a hearing be-
fore Referee Peter B. Olney to deter
mine whether the company is amenabls
to the federal bankruptcy law.
Mr.. Kieran said that the company
loaned money to Catholic churches and
institutions, took mortgages on the prop
erty and also took as collateral life insur-
ance policies on members of the congre-
CATION, assigned the company. On be-
ing requested to give one actual transac-
ton, Mr.. Kieran told of the application
of St. Joseph's congregation of Milwau-
kee for a loan of $15O,0OO.
1--WE gave them Immediately $4,000
for which we took their notes." he testi-
fed. "These notes we sold to the Wis
consin National bank of Milwaukee. La
ter we took a mortgage on the property,
called in the notes, and issued our own
bonds on the mortgage, which we de-
posted with the Western Trust and Saw
1ngs bank of Chicago as trustees"
Interest was charged at from 4 to AZ
per cent. on the mortgages, the witness
said. but at to S12 per cent. on the
notes-this latter to cover the cost OF
the first premium on the life insurance
policies. These policies were always in
sisted upon, he declared.

was the only other woman on the train,

Former Senator Wiley was also a pas
senger on the train.
Our train was ten minutes late, leav-
ing Milwaukee Friday night and at $50
o'clock we arrived at Watertown," said
Mr.. Wiley. I'VE waited two hours while
the train for Madison came through. 1t
had two engines and snow pillow and it
was thought it would be easy for our
engine to go through where two engines
had gone. This morning the train
reached Marshall. We had to sleep last
night at the Lindsay hotel.
when it was found we could not get
through, one of the crew walked four
miles to Waterloo and telephoned to
WATERFOWL. From that place two en-
gines were sent and pulled the train to
side track. The two engines started
bucking the snow. Those engines died
for lack of coal and water and four
more were sent out and the crews
worked all the time.
FINALLY TWO big engines arrived from
WATERFOWL and all the dead engines were
shunted back. Another train was made
up at Watertown last night and two
engines and snowplow put on and made
for Madison. They failed to get through
and we had to spend a second night ON
the train.
This morning I walked to the old
Peckham place near Sun Prairie and we
had a fine breakfast at a farmers house,
consisting of bread and butter and cOf-
fee and doughnLts. We carried basket
full back to Mrs. Davidson and Miss
Hendricks and they enjoyed it.
Another engine came from Water
town and pulled the engines through
from GAINESVILLE to Sun Prairie. We
waited over this morning until the regu-
lar due at Madison at $3.50 got in and
we reached Madison at 1920 o'clock.
1t was one of the greatest experiences 1
ever had"

REPLIES TO RAINEY'S SPEECH.

Was Made Openly.
PRESIDENT-ELECT AT CULEBRA.

PANAMA, Feb. 1.-The charges made
in the American Congress recently by
Representative Henry T. Rainey of ILL
nois against Domingo De Obaldia, presi-
dent of Panama, and others, have
brought out denials from the President
and sixteen members of the National AS
sembly.
The assemblymen have signed state
ment asserting that they were present
at a meeting in the Presidents office
where the contract for the exploitation
of the timber industry along the Atlantic
coast of Panama was discussed, and that
during the meeting neither President
Obaldia nor anyone else said or implied
that Charles 2. Taft. William Nelson
Cromwell or Roger l.. Farnham had any
direct or indirect participation in the
business. Among those signing the state
ment are DR.. Pablo Arosonona, Julio
Fabregar, and other prominent opposi-
ton leaders of the Assembly.
Makes Public Statement.
Concerning some of the charges Pres
ident Obaldia has given out the follow
ing statement for publication:
My attitude while in the Colombian
Congress of 1908, and my entire public
life are beyond the reach of slanderers.
The Amador-Arias government was not
overthrown. but after the expiration of
it's constitutional term, it was defeated
in a free election.
"At the meeting in my office neither
Mr.. Ehrman nor any outsiders was pres
ent and no mention was made of Charles
p. Taft. William, Nelson Cromwell or
Robert l.. Farnham. The railway pro-
posal was presented to the Assembly
by Mr.. Ward and was rejected. The
Assembly then enacted law, authoriz-
ing the construction of railway with
national funds to become national prop
erty. Mr., Ehrman's timber contract
was also rejected by the Assembly,
where bill is now being discussed
regulating the foreign exploitation on
the Atlantic coast between the river
Conception and Costa Rica, including the
entire Chagres valley"
President Obdalia has discharged To-
cal government employee, who published
a pamphlet criticising William Nelson
Cromwell and President Roosevelt.
Taft Is at Culebra.
CULEBRA. Panama, Feb. 1-Wil
liam III. Taft and the engineers accom-
panying him reached here from Pana
ma today on a special train and made a
detailed examination of the fourteen
miles of the Culebra cut.
The fact that the existing plans for
the lock and dam at Gatun are satisfac-
tory to the visiting engineers has created
local feeling of optimism, and the
fears of delay in the completion of the
work have been relieved.
Mr.. Taft expected that the views of
the engineers regarding the situation at
Gatun would be favorable, and their
findings consequently did not come as a
surprise to him.
