Ing the Panama canal purchase made
In answer to Mr. Rainey's accusations
contained I'm his sensational speech In
the house Jan. 20. Al that time Ire
accused Mr.. Cromwell, President Obal-
dia. OF Panama, and their assistants

MIR. Rainey said In part:
"On the twenty-sixth day OF jan
uary | discussed at some length on
this floor certain matters pertaining
connection OF the present administra-
ton and It's advisers with the same
followed IL up with one or two short
er speeches on the same subject later
on and I have succeeded in bringing
sentation and abuse almost without
parallel in the history OF this body"
Mr.. Rainey said he had been accus-
ed by the press OF obtaining the in
formation on which he based his first
speech from ex-convicts and black
mailers.
The president of the United
States" he continued. finds il proper
to give the press a letter addressed
TO the representatives of an alleged re-
public in which he refers to my name
and makes personal attack upon me.
The president-elect, hurrying to his
capital. heard also the signals OF dis

he referred TO me in the speeches he
made on his way here, he has grossly
misrepresented what | said"
Mr.. Rainey denied that he had
asked or received information from

his charges, but saw no reason why
he should not have done so II he
wished.
He also denied that he had ever at
tackled the Panama canal and claimed
TO be an earnest friend OF the project.
He declared he was entitled to the
support and cooperation OF the presi-
dent and president-elect In an effort
TO expose graft In connection with
the work and he warned MIR. Crom-
wells representative on this floor and
his press bureaus" that he would con.
tinue his attack in another. speech to

any person being whole and mighty
in body and able to labor found beg
ging might be arrested. and if unable
to give satisfactory account of him
self he was brought to the nearest
market town, tied to the end of a
cart, stripped of his clothes and beat
en- with whips through the town,
bleeding and ashamed, after which
degradation he was sent to his native

Saturday dawned as day Of distress
for TIE poor and of discomfort for all

Through the night men, women and
wailing children hurried through the
streets toward police stations, the Sal

burned in many a poor home in the
downtown district, and families, shiv-

eighty families applying for Immediate
relief the Provident Association has
suspended its usual system of investi-

have been provided, without any ex-

Relief is being distributed to the

The regular ration Of coal furnished
by the. association, 121s bushels, is the
