RESIGNATION OF
CRANE FAVORED
ERy Associated Press.1

WASHINGTON Oct. 14-All doubt
as to what action the president would
take with. respect to the resignation of
Charles R. Crane, minister designate to
China was dispelled by the receipt this
morning of dispatch from President
Taft, addressed to his secretary, MI.
Carpenter, directing him to convey to
Mr.. Crane announcement of the fact
that the resignation had been accepted.
The telegram was dated at Prescott,
Ariz., and reads as follows:
Convey to Mr. Crane the following
communication:
81 concur in the letter under date of
October IL, which the secretary of state
has addressed to you, and L greatly re-
gret that the circumstances found to
exist by him made it necessary for me
to accept your resignation
(Signed) TAFT"
Following the receipt of the presi-
dents message Mr.. Crane issued the
following statement:
IT am greatly relieved by the presi-
dents decision. There has been no min
ute since l learned the attitude of the
department of state when l have not
contemplated Inc pOSSlOlllly VI d COIl-
tinuance of my official relations with
the deepest repugnance.
I.eIied on President
Nevertheless, 1 have felt that my
obligation to the president was to per-
init him to decide the issue. have ap-
preciated fully what would be involved
IN decision by him that should con-
tinue
Il have realized also the impossible
ity of his securing competent informa-
ton at this time.
HE has chosen to base his decision
upon the circumstances found by the
secretary of state.
II accepted the Chinese mission at
his request, and solely because of as
surances that 1 could be, and would be
permitted to be, of service to the coun-
try in constructive work of the greatest
Importance to it, and of the greatest
interest to me.
1T has been made perfectly clear
that conditions here were not and are
not such as to make this possible. To
demonstrate this has involved a per-
sonal humiliation such as no self-re-
specting man who is drafted into the
public service should be called upon to
endure, but I am grateful indeed that
I have had the test of Official choice
and support here rather than in China,
and now rather than at some crisis in
volving the honor or the interest of the
nation"
Mr.. Crane left for New York today.
