CHAMP CLARK
NANTsAMER|CANs
TO STAY At HOME
Appeals for Law Which Will
Stop Good Citizens from
Going to Canada.
TELLS OF EXPERIENCE

Champ Clark. Speaker OF the House
and contender for the Democratic Presi-
Dental nomination. who was severely
criticised last summer for his Canadian
annexation uttersnces, relinquished his
gavel long enough yesterday to take the
floor in support Of homestead bill in
tended to put a stop to the constantly
increasing emigration from the United
States TO Canada.
The bill proposes to reduce the period
Il homesteader must live on his land
from five years to three. and to allow
him TO absent himself from his holding
for live months for each of the three
years.
VIII Vote Next Week.
Owing to the absence Of a quorum no
vote was had on the bill. which in all
probability will be passed on calendar
Wednesday of next week.
Speaker Clark spoke earnestly for ten
minutes.
I'm the early days OF the republic" he
said by way OF preface to his remarks,
the Speakers frequently took part in
the debate. For some reason that Gus
tom has fallen into innocuous desuetude,'
to use Mr.. Cleveland's famous phrase. /
have a notion TO revive IL.
ITO me the most painful feature OF the
day in which We live is to see a con-
stantly increasing stream of the very
best citizens of this country going to
Manitoba and Alberta. On one day in
my county, one OF the richest and Iarg-
est and most beautiful counties under
the sun, forty-three families loaded up
an entire freight train, as much as one
of these big engines could pull, charter
ed the train, and pulled out for Alberta.
There was not 4 man among them who
was not fairly well TO do. Another man
in my district sold his farm for $4,000
and his stock and other valuable assets
ran the sum up to about $4,000.
Good Citizens Leaving.
He moved to Manitoba and entered
or purchased 1O.OOO acres OF that land up
there. He gave TO each one OF his eight
children 1000 acres. keeping 200 acres
for himself. That is the kind of Ameri-
can citizens who are leaving this coun-
try and going to the British Northwest.
The immigration agent up there esti-
mates that every American citizen who
goes over there carries with him. on an
average, $1,000 l am in favor Of fixing
ii so that no American citizen will want
to depart from the United States to Sc
cure a home in a foreign land"
Mr.. Clark was warmly applauded.

PAINLESS TEETH
PULLING DEBATED
Dentists of Ethical" and "Ad-
Vertising" Schools Argue Be-
fore House Committee.

At the hearing held yesterday before
the District Committee Of the House
over the proposed law regulating the
practice Of dentistry in the District by
requiring all members of the profession
TO procure licenses, a sharp tilt devel-
oped between DR.. II. ]. Nichols and
DR.. Evans. The former came as the
representative OF the so-calIed ethical
school, and the latter stated that he ad-
vertised and was not ashamed Of it.
1t was the contention Of Dr. Evans
that the proposed law, while good IN
some respects, tended to create a dem
tai trust in Washington from which
could be eliminated such members OF
the profession as were distasteful 10
the board. This led to a little profess
sional repar;ee between the two dem
lists as to the ability to pull a tooth
without convincing the patient he is
losing his jaw.
You KNOW asserted DR.. Nichols We
henently. that you cannot pull teeth
without causing pain"
Il don't know anything of the kind -
reteTted DR.. Evans Il know that il is
done every day. But men of your
school refuse to admit it,
i would like to see you do it," said
Dr.. Nichols.
I'D like very much 10 show YOU"
replied Or. Evans, in peculiarly grim
tone.
D~. Emory Bryant and others, of the
ethical school upheld Dr. Nichols in
his contention. Arrangements for other
hearings will be made in the near future.

SAYS ROOSEVELT AIDED
IN GRAB OF CANAL ZONE
John +. Wallace, Former Chief En-
gineer. Charges Colombia
Was Robbed.
TALKS TO CANADIAN CLUB
Accuses Cromwell OF Putting Theft
Through With COnniyance of
the L. s. President.

That the Panama Canal Zone was
stolen from the Republic OF Colombia
through the Vaccinations of william.
Nelson Cromwell and the connivance of
Col. Theodore Roosevelt when the latter
was President was the declaration of
John F. Wallace, former chief engineer
of the Panama Canal, who was removed
by Roosevelt. at the smoker OF the Ca
madam Club Of New York last night at
the Waldorf.
Mr.. Wallace spoke for an hour on the
wrongs of Colombia 40 the canal trans
action, but he was willing to concede
that 1t was through Cromwefls agency
that this country got the canal. though
he condemns the methods employed.
The French company, which held its
concessions from Colombia, had little
to sell except Its franchise and the rail-
road 1t had built said the speaker. and
that little Cromwell acquired for a mere
song. The United States offered $4O,-
000,O for all rights to the property and
SO 100000 additional to Colombia for
that country's interest. Colombia de-
clined the offer on the ground that It
had never sold the canal property to
the French company and was there
fore entitled to a substantial part of
the 100000.
This did not meet the views Of Crom-
well and his hackers, according to Mr..
Wallace. and the result was the revolu-
tion which culninated IN the establish
ment of the Panama republic This
revolution was engineered at Washing
ton. got up to order as the speaker
put 1t.
1t was known in Washington for six
months before the revolution started
that 1t would be pulled Off at a certain
time. And when II was accomplished
the newborn republic accepted OF course
the offer which Colombia had rejected,
and Cromwell put in bill to this coun-
try for $2,225,0OO for his services. The
bill. never has been paid, as "cven
Roosevelt with all his nerve hadn't the
courage to sanction IT. asserted the
speaker.
to Panama as chief engineer of the
| canal. He had not been there very
long before he saw the great future
Advantages of a sea level canal over
the high level as provided for In the
Spooner act, and began actively advo-
eating such construction, These views
resulted in his dismissal By Roosevelt
and the reasons behind the removal are
according to him, all question of po-
litical expediency.
Roosevelts declaration that 81 took
It" Is only partly true. said Mr.. Wal
lace. 1t was his belief that Cromwell
took It and Roosevelt had to acquicsce
in II because he didn't want to run the
risk of losing the power over the canal
construction which the Spooncr act
gave him.
Roosevelt was constrained to favor
the high level construction. he said, be
cause the Spooner act provided for il
ana 10 make the necessary amendment
for sea level structure would omen n
discussion as to how the canal property
had been acquired and tie ,'anama
