'W.N.R CROMWELL
 BEFORE JURY Testifies as to Panama
 Canal. WHO GOT MONEY IN AMERIcAs Believed That New Yorker Laid
 Bare His Part. Government Warrant for s4s,oOO, ,OeO in Favor of !. F. Morgan and Com-
 Pany Said to Have Been
 

Washington, Jan. 23--Through Will Ham Nelson Cromwell, who negotiated the Panama Canal purchase. the Fed eral grand jury. which Is inquiring into the alleged libelous statements of The New York World and The Indianapolis News. in connection with that trans action. today got at the bottom of the facts In the case. 2
 MT. Cromwell was under examina- ton for over two hours. Ke brought with him large number of papers These were carefully gone over. So earnest was Mir Cromwell in his state- ments that at times his voice could be heard in the corridors of the hall, al- though nothing that he Said could be understood.
 He declined to make any statement beyond the fact that he was leaving for New York this evening.
 An interesting feature of the hear ing was the offering in evidence Of the original warrant for the $40,O00,- 900, by which the Government acquired the title to the canal ownership. The document was framed and was brought to. the grand jury room by s. R. Ja. cobs, clerk in the office of the Audi tor for the State Department.
 Other witnesses are to appear Mon. day.
 Previous to entering the grand jury room MT. Cromwell had an extended conference with District Attorney Ba. ker.
 MT. Cromwell brought with him . mass of papers, as did District Attor- ney Baker and his assistant. MT. Me- Namara. MT Cromwell began his tes- timony shortly after 10 o'clock.
 While no one would volunteer any information on the subject, it is be- lieved that Mir. Cromwell laid bare the whole story of his connection with the Panama Canal purchase, especial ly with that phase which had to do with the payment of the $40,000, ,0OO to foreign shareholders.
 In an interview last fall Mir. Crom- well denied that any of this money came back into American hands.
 MT. Cromwell concluded his exami- nation at 12:25 p. m. He will not admit that he was to appear before the grand jury nor would he discuss the case in any of its phases.
 In the course of his examination, &. R. Jacobs clerk in the ofIlce of the auditor for the State Department of the Treasury Department, appeared with a number of official papers some of them framed. These all had to do with the Panama Canal purchase.
 Mir. Jacobs examination consisted simply of the Identification of tn csc documents. The grand jury then ad- journed until Monday morning when other witnesses will be examfned Who these are to be the district at. torney declined to state.

Washington, Jan, 23.-The selsmo- graphs of the weather bureau recorded an earthquake of distant origin. late last evening that Is much the same iu character and intensity as the record obtained at the time of the recent great Italian earthquake.
 According to a bulletin of the bureau the first preliminary tremors began al 1e:12:e5 D. m. The second preliminary tremors were not well defined in the records. The strong motion lasted from 1o:30 until after II o'clock. the whole earthquake having a duration of about one and a half hours.
 Apparently. says the bulletin, the origin was nearer Washington than in the case of the Italian earthquake, probably 4.eoe miles distant, or there ahouts.

 During the rest of the day frequent messages stated that the chances of saving the Republic were hourly d. minfshing; that the Baltic. La Lor- raine and Lucania were nearing the scene and at p. m. came word from the Baltic that she was alongside the stricken vessel and ready to render every assistance.
 One by one the great water tight compartments on board the Republic filled as the bulkheads gave way un- der the pressure and at o'clock to- night all hands were ordered to aban- don ship and the officers and crew went over the side into their boats.
 A later dispatch states that the Bal tic left for New York, but that the Florida still remains near the Repub- lie. The dispatch says that the steam CTS Lucania and Furnesia are standing by the Republic and the Florida. La Lorraine had proceeded for New York.
 The report that four passengers were killed on the Republic has not been confirmed.
 It is learned definitely that Captain Sealby and boats crew still remain at the scene of the wreck. No one Is on board the Republic. but the Cap tain is in . small boat with a few men alongside. It Is supposed that he awaits the final plunge of his vessel beneath the waves.

court OF The Bee building looking at
Irving r. BacOn's painting of THE Con-
quest OF the Prairies."
Then the famous scout. who is himself
a part of the painting, looked at the work
OF the artist for several minutes in med
nation.
yes. It's mighty fine" he said again.
Yes l love that picture, II is great, and
so true to life and the time it depicts"
Many men had gathered around Colonel
Cody and the painting by this time, and
the Colonel enlightened them as to the
painting and how It came TO be painted
The late Edward ROsewater first con-
ceived this painting he said. and he
hired Mr.. Bacon over five years ago 70 do
the work. The Course OF Empire l be-
neve. was TO have been the subject OF the
painting, but IN The Conquest OF the
Prairies' nothing is lost and the idea is
much the same.
Mr. ROseWater wanted a picture dit
feIent from everything else. a picture OF
his country In the early days Of transition
from savagery 70 civilization. He wanted
the Indian and the Buffalo, showing the
aboriginal state; the hOmesteader and the
railroad. showing the advent OF a new
era. And we have It all here wonderfully
worked out
Here In the foreground We have the
Indians true in coloring and form, and the
buffalo being driven back toward the set
