Would Be Dishouor.

Il wish to make this statement as
emphatic as possible. because irresponsi-
BILE persons. without the slightest founda-
ton, in fact, have started a rumor that
my visit to the isthmus is for the pur-
pose Of promoting annexation. when
nothing could be further from the truth.
Panama cannot be too prosperous, too
healthy. too strong a government for the
United States. and know l speak the
unanimous voice OF the people of the
United States when say that they
would be most reluctant to have to take
over the responsibilities of government
beyond the Canal Zone, and would feel
utterly dishonored in so doing unless
there was some conduct on the part OF
the Panaman people which left them no
other possible course.
II am glad to say that there is not
the slightest indication or probability
that the Panaman people will ever pur-
sue a policy which would require such a
change In the present most satisfactory
relations between the two republics

Doesn't Call for Annexation.

"All this makes us especially interested
in what is done in your government. but
this relation neither calls for not per-
mits annexation. We are here to con-
struct, maintain, operate and defend the
world canal which runs through the
heart Of your country, and you have given
us the necessary sovereignty and juris-
diction over that part Of your country
occupied by the canal to enable us to do
this effectively. We do not wish any
further responsibility in respect to your
government than is necessary in the
carrying out of our purpose to construct
and maintain this canal. We have no
desire to add to the territory under our
Jurisdiction, except as the operation Of
the canal may require it
I'VE have guaranteed your integrity as
a republic, and for us to annex territory
would be to violate that guarantee, and
nothing would justify it on our part so
long as Panama performed her part under
the treaty.

President Taft's Address.

After an address Of cordial welcome by
the Panaman president, Mr.. Taft said:
President Arosemena and my friends
Of Panama. am glad to accept your
hospitality. As once in the case of Mex
leo, so now in the case Of Panama, ven
tured to violate the customary limita-
ton upon the movements of the Presi-
dent of the United States by leaving the
soil of my own country to come beneath
the flag and protection OF friendly
neighbor.
'aThe birth Of the republic Of Panama
and the peculiar interest which the
United States has had since that birth
in Panamas welfare and prosperity have
found a common cause in the construc-
ton of the Panama canal. The treaty
between the two countries makes the
United States the guarantor Of the in
tegrity Of the Panama republic, and
therefore in q sense the guardian OF the
liberties of her people secured by its
constitution. Our responsibility, there
fore. for your government requires US
closely to observe the course of conduct
by those selected as the officials Of your
government after they are selected, and
to insist that they be selected according
to law.

REPUBLICANS, in FEAR,
TAKE UP PEOPLES FIGHT.

Fearing that public sentiment Is
growing too strong to be checked, the
Essex County Republican Committee
last night adopted a resolution direct
ing the chairman to appoint commit
tee of five to cooperate with similar
committees from other organizations or
municipalities in the fight against the
increase In railroad rates. Former
Board Of Works President Frank Book
introduced resolution favoring the
reconyening of the Legislature, II
necessary. Assistant Prosecutor Lehl-
bach urged that the resolution De
adopted. in view of the .nsinuations
that the Essex asesmblymen were
under the control of corporate lnilu-
ences during the last session. Follow
ing is copy Of the resolution:
Whereas the railroads of the stare
OF New Jersey haye given notice that
they intend to largely increase the COM
mutation and other passenger rates In
fthe northern part of the State of New
Jersey, and
Whereas, such increases are in many
cases excessive and unfair to our cit
izens, particularly residents OF Essex
County who transact their business In
the city of New York; and
"a Whereas. many families which other
wise would have remained In the cities
have located along the lines of the varf-
Gus railroads In this section of the
State because of the favorable commu-
tation rates given to the bread-winners
of the family, and as a result of such
families locating along their lines the
railroads are enabled, to derive profits
from the sale OF trip tickets. freight
charges ETC., which more than offsets
any alleged loss on the communication
business; now, therefore, be 1t
Resolved, That this committee ex-
presses it's disapproval of the action of
said railroads and hereby protests
against such increases and pledges It's
support to all efforts that may be made

BRIBERY CHARGE
TO Be PROBEO
Senator Springs Great Sensation
in Barring Alleged Plot to
Defraud Indians.

| WASHINGTON, June 25.--The Senate
today adopted resolution introduced
| by Senator Thomas p. Gore directing.
an investigation into the sale of asphalt.
and coal lands. The inquiry is to be-
conducted by the Senate committee on
Indian affairs. and is to determines
| whether there is any necessity for the,
| employment Of private counsel or
agents in connection with the lands be-
| tribes, and If the employment of such
counsel is necessary. whether fee of
! 10 per cent. is reasonable.
/ Gore yesterday made the sensational
charge that he had been ap--
preached with a bribe of s25000.
which might be raised to $4,000, if he
would withdraw objection to attorneys
claims of sa.ooo,ooo for the sale of coal
and oil lands belonging to the Five
Civilized Tribes of Oklahoma to a syn
dicate for SS0,000,000
| 1t appears from Cores statement that
! this syndicate obtained individual con-
tracts with about 10000 Choctaw and
| Chickasaw Indians to collect as their
| agents in the sale by the Indians OF
the immensely valuable coal and oil
lands in the reservations of the two
nations
| Tho percentage for the agents, IL the
| contracts should be carried out, was
placed by Gore at s3,00o,00o. In order
| to block this raid Gore introduced an
amendment to the general deficiency
appropriations bill providing that con-
tracts with Indians should not be valid
unless approved by Congress. The con-
ference committee changed the amend
ments so as to permit the President
and secretary of the interior to ratify
such contracts.
The charge by Senator Gore stirred
the Senate as nothing has stirred it in
good many years, but, Senator Gore
added to the sensation few moments
later by declaring that the man who
attempted to bribe him had said that
United States Senator and memhzr
of the House of Representatives are
interested in these cases.
| He charged further that a former
United States Senator from Kansas
and a former United States Senator
from Nebraska has been working in
| Washington to kill the threatened leg

charges on the floor of the Senate.

CONSIDERING IT'S REPLY.

department officials today took up
the consideration of what reply to
make to the telegram of Recorder Nc
Govern, before whom Porter Charlton
was taken yesterday for hearing in
Hoboken, as to the wishes of the de-
partment in regard to the prisoner.
The question seems to be whether
there should be simply an acknowledge
ment of the receipt of the inquiry or
whether the recorder should be told
that at this time the department has
no wishes in the matter which can be
communicated to the court.
No application has been received from
the Italian government for the extra
dition of Charlton, it is said at the de-
partment.
