Charles T. Crane, of Chicago min.
lister designate to China, was prscti-
cally deposed by a demand from Sec
rotary Knox for his resignation.
The history of this extraordinary af-
fair. which began about a week ago
with the announcement that Minister
Crane had been stopped at San Fran
cisco at the moment of embarkation
for his post by a demand from Secre-
tary Knox for his return to Washing,
ton, reached at least its first crisis
when the secretary in a formal state
nent announced that Mr.. Cranes
resignation had been invited, and the
minister designate replied in sn
equally formal statement that while
his resignation already had been ten
1eTed to tho president, he felt himself
very unjustly treated Moreover, Mr..
Crane in his statement reflected very
severely upon the officials of the state
department, charging that not only
had they refrained from giving him the
instructions usually issued to a min
lister or ambassador about to leave for
his post, but that he had been denied
access to them even after he had
made repeated appointments with
them.
He enters a sweeping denial of the
charge that he gave out" a newspa-
per story which is said to be the cause
OF his deposition, and places squarely
upon the shoulders of President Taft
the responsibility for the various ut
terances he has made regarding con
ditiOns in the Far East which have
aroused the ire of Secretary Knox. and
for final action upon his resignation.

This appointment was sought by Sen

Senator Cullom of Illinois. Speaker OF
the House Cannon, and Representative
Graf OF Illinois, went job-hunting at
the White House this morning. The
story is that they want good ambasSa-
dorship for Fred Smith. the man who
was in charge OF the financial affairs
OF the Republican national committee in
Illinois during the Presidential cam
paign. Smith got the money in great
fashion, and IL IS now the belief of his
friends that he should get a job. Wheth-
