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 MT. Carpenter, directing him to convey to MT. Crane announcement of the fact that the resignation had been accep- ted.
 The telegram was dated Prescott, Ariz.. October 13, and reads as fol- lows:
 Convey to Mir. Crane following com munication:
 "T concur in the letter under date of October l2. which the secretary of state has addressed to you and I greatly re- gret that the circumstances found to exist by him make IL necessary for ma to accept your resignation
 Taft"
 Following the receipt of the Presis dents message through Secretary Car- penter, Mir. Crane issued the following statement:
 T am greatly relieved by the Presis dents decision. There has been no minute since I learned the attitude og the department Of state when I have contemplated the possibility of my con- tinuance of my official relations with the deepest repugnanee Nevertheless I have felt that my obligation to the President was to permit him to decide the issue. have appreciated fully what would be involved in a decision by him that should continue. have realized also the impossihility of his se- curing complete information at this time. He has chosen to base his decis- lon upon the circumstances found by the secretary of state.
 Was Choice of Taft.
 T accepted the Chinese commission at his request and solely because Of assurances that I could be and would be permitted to be of service to the country in the constructive work Of the, greatest importance to 1t, and of the. xRec test Interest to ne. IT has been made perfectly clear that sopditions here were not and are not such as to make this possible. To demonstrate this has involved a personal hunilia- ton such as no self respecting man who Is drafted into the public service should be called on to endure. but I am grateful indeed tbat have had the test of official confidence and support here rather than in China and now rather than at some real crisis involy- ing the honor or the interest of the nation.
 q think I should state at this time that until I arrived here last Sunday I had never seen the newspaper article which Is made the excuse for my recall nor had I heard that such an article had been published, and at my inter- view with the secretary of state, it was not shown to me. I accepted the de- scriptIon of its character and eonse- quences then given to me and assumed full responsibility for my connection with 1t, purely incidental as that con- nection was"
