titles Before Grand Jury in
New York.

NEW YORK, Feb. S.-William Nell
son Cromwell, who was counsel to the
Panama Canal company of France, the
rights of which were purchased by the
United States government, was a wit
ness before the federal grand jury today
in the governments proceedings against

nection will alleged ibelous publications
regarding the Panama canal purchase.
1t was expected that Mr.. Cromwells
testimony would be on the lines of a
statement which he made public on De
cember 10 last, in which he declared
that neither he nor any one connected
with his law firm had any stock in the
Panama canal company; that he was
positive that no man in public life in
the canal, and that Douglas Robinson
and Charles P. Taft had no connection
with Panama canal matters.

Goes Over Great Northern Properties at
Superior with Engineer John
F. Stevens.

SUPERIOR, Wis, Feb. S.-[Special.]
President Louis Hill of the Great
Northern was in the city on a quiet mis-
sion the end of last week. He was ac-
companied by John T. Stevens, the for
mer Great Northern engineer, who later
acquired fame as chief engineer for the
Panama canal. The two men made an
inspection of the roads terminals at the
head of the lakes. 1t is reported that
President Hill desired Mr.. Stevens adj
vice as to engineering problems that en-
ter into the big improvements that the
road has under contemplation here. These
include the development Of the Superior
bay front and property owned by the
road. 1t has been reported in this con
nection that Mr.. Stevens would be back
with the Great Northern again, but an
other report has it that his principal
mission in this territory now is to get
data upon which to base testimony to be
given when the property of the road
comes up for valuation.

Once when one of the passengers playing with him complained that the stakes were too low, Fortner re marked that he only played the game for pleasure. but that he was willing to ra SC the limit to $1,00O if that would please his opponent better. In Panama City he continued his money spe nding, and once when he took a tr:j, into the country, he left $97OO on deposit with the proprietor of the imperial Hotel.

He was liv- ing in Paris under the name of Will liam Wells of Oxford, Miss, when ar rested. At every step from the time he landed at St. Nazaire until he was arrested he was dogged by Pinkertons. After reaching Paris he made a short run over to London. ap- parently to break the trail, but Pink erton men went with him. It is es- timated that the hunt cost the Amer ican BankerS Association abol7 $3.5OO.
 'The chase for Fortner was one ti the merriest that Pinkerton detcc- tive has had in a long time' said Asher Rosetter. general super,nten!- ent of tie local Pinkerton agency to- day 'He got months start on us and for time the case looked baff!- ing. We began by communicating with all our coast offices, feeling sure that he would leave the country by steamer.
 Clew From Passengers.
 "A list of the passengers sailing on the Parisian Feb 13, gave us the first clew. All of the names on the list could be accounted for except that of w. B. Wells. Gardner worked on this and finally found that Fortner had shipped to Colon, on the Panama peninsula. There he registered at the Imperial Hotel and after stop ping few days went to the Imperial Hotel in the City of Panama. The last time he was seen on the penin- sula was at Ancon. Feb 21, when he registered at the Tivoli Hotel.
 ''The next step was to search the passenger lists of the steamers sail ing from Panama ports. A passen ger who could not be accounted for. but answered perfectly the descrip- tiOn given at all Panama points of Fortner, had sailed on La Normandie. of the French Transatlantique line. March 4, under the name of Paul Brown, for St. Nazaire. Our Europ- can agents were at once notified to watch out for Brown.
 Once line on Fortner was -ob- tained it was not difficult to trace him, because of his many conspicious traits On the steamer to Colon he spent his money in prodigal fashion.
