DENIES DESIGNS ON
MAGDALENA BAY
Statement of Japanese Premier
Will Delay Presidents Reply
to Senate Resolution.

The reply OF President Taft to the
Lodge resolution. which was passed by
the Senate Tuesday. asking for informa-
tion in the hands Of the State Depart
ment concerning alleged Japanese en-
croachment On Magdaiena Bay. promises
to be delayed somewhat by reason OF
the voluntary statement on the situation
made by Marquis Saionu, the premier Of
Japan. This statement confirms the re-
port that the Tokyo Kisen Kaisha, the
Oriental Steamship Company, was OBJ
tanning concessions on the west coast Of
Mexico and explains that the conces-
sions were principally for fishing. A-eopy
OF this statement was handed to the
State Department by the japanese En-
bassy in this city merely as n courtesy
and for the information Of the depart
ment. and accordingly neither the State
Department nor the embassy will make
II public at this time.
Since this statement contains informa-
ton apparently not in the hands Of
the State Department previously It
now remains for Acting Secretary VIII
son and the President TO determine
whether II shall be included In the re-
port TO the Senate on Information now
in the hands of the State Department"
II Is likely that It viii be transmitted TO
the Senate as an appendix TO the depart
ments report POSSIBLY with some COM
ment by the President.
officials Not Surprised.
State Department officials expressed no
surprise at the statement that japanese
interests had actually obtained an ex-
tensive fishing concession on the Mexi-
can coast. II was pointed out that COM
panies OF American, and doubtless other
cltizenships, have had like concessions
in those waters for many years. As to
the statements of members OF Congress
that the japanese government might
seize a concession of steamship COM
pany that is subsidized by the govern
ment. IL was pointed out that the con-
stitution of Mexico forbids any conces-
sion falling under the sovereignty of an
other government. Mexico already un-
derstands. # was pointed out. that II
Japan were allowed such a concession.
which could be given only by an act of
Congress. II would be, considered by this
government as an Unfriendly act. This
view would be taken by the United
States. since Mexico has refused TO re-
new the target practice concessions for
the Pacific feet IN Magdalena Bay.

ONE PETITION
PRESENTED TO
JUDGE KRAUSS
WHILE ANOTHER IS NOW IN CIR
cULATlON BY THOSE FAV-
ORING THE OFFICER.
Judge Announces That He viii Con-
slider the One in His Hands and
Give Promoters of the Other Sew
eral Days to Circulate tt.

One petition, bearing the names OF
a majority of the voters of Giynn
county and a number of other citi.
Aens, protesting against the appoint
ment of special officer by Judge
Krauss of the city court, was present
ed to him yesterday afternoon, while
another petition, being circulated by
friends of the officer appointed, D.
c. Houston, is now in circulation, and
hefo.e taking any definite action,
Judge Krauss, to a News reporter las,
night, announced that he would first
consider the petition already present
ed 20 him and would grant the request
of those circulating the other petition
several days in which to secure names
10 it.
So it is seen that the action of the
county commissioners in recommend
ing the appointment of special Of
ticer to enforce the prohibition and
other laws in the county has brought
on quite a fight among the people of
the county, as was expected.
The petition presented to Judge
,Krauss yesterday afternoon was one
Of the longest ever secured in Glynn
county, containing, as it did, the
names of the most prominent people
in the county and city, and including
a minority of the registered voters.
When asked for a statement by The
News last night, Judge Krauss said:
The petition protesting against the
appointment of the special county Of
ticer was presented to me this after
noon, but have not yet had time to
go over it. / have been requested by
those who favor the appointment of
5he officer to give them a few days
IN order to circulate their petition be-
] will grant this request, but in the
meantime, l will go carefully over the
petition handed me today"
Judge Krauss was asked the ques-
ton as to what his action would be
if the supporters of the other petit
ton also secured the names of ma
jority of the registered voters, as he
had stated that a number of voters
had attached their names to both the
petitions, some of them under a mis-
apprehension, and he said that in that
event he would compare the two Pc
tito IS, striking the names of those
who had signed both of them, and
would then act accordingly.
Under these circumstances it will
probably be several days before any
definite action will be taken, but in
asmuch as majority of the voters
have already signed the petition pro-
testing against the appointment of
the special officer, it is very doubt
ful if large number of names will
be secured to the other. To The News
last night Judge Krauss reiterated his
statement, that if it is shown to him
that majority of the voters oppose
the appointment of the officer, that
he will revoke the appointment.

Missouri Statesman Declares Senate
is Entitled to Explanation on Part
Of Senator Dupont for Actions.
+f~4q
Money Spent in Maryland.

Washington, Feb 28.-Evidenee
heard by the senate judiciary commit
tee in its inquiry into the appointment
of c. p Swain as United States mar
shall for Delaware, was laid b fore
the senate today by Senator Rr.1 OF
Missouri, in urging the passage of his
resolution providing for an investiga-
ton of the election of Senator Du-
Pont, of Delaware Mr.. Reed insisted
if this evidence was given credence,
the senate should not only investigate
the 1910 election, but should demand
of he Delawarean an explanation of
his action in recommending Swain.
"On January %, 1912, the president
appointed Cornelius P. Swain United
States marshal for the district of Del
aware and sent that appointment to
the senate for confirmation" said SEN
ator Reed. The appointment was re-
ported to the senate by the commit
tee md on the day it reached the SEN
ate, it was confirmed.
"Citizens of Delaware protested to
the senate with the result that the
action of approval was rescinded.
Thereupon the matter was referred to
the committee and an investigation
demanded by citizens of Delaware W IS
held
Grave Charges Made.
= 'Tne citizens charge that ON No
yember 4, 1910, a meeting was held IN
the Office Of Henry A. DUPONT and :.
Coleman DUPONT, at which betwea4
fifty and sixty thousand dollars was
distributed for the purpose OF coz
rupting the electorate of the state, and
that an additional ten THOUSAND dol
lars was to be given out on Monday
preceding the Tuesday on which ;2e
election was held; that Swain took
three thousand dollars of this moneJ
to Philadelphia; that on election lay
the nCney was actually paid out in
bribas to corrupt the vote of that pc
cinct.
THE committee limited the ey;.
dence to those acts of corruption with
which Swain could be directly Goa .
nected.
therefore this investigation repre-
sents no more than the tracing of 1
single thread through a web of III,
iquity
Swain was, according to the t23
timony, appointed as the request c;
Senator Dupont,and if it be true that
Senator DUPONT recommended him for
appointment, a man whom he knew to
be engaged in corrupt practices relat-
ing TO elections, then he gravely Of
Tended against this body by being in
strumental in bringing such an ap-
pointee before the senate for its ap-
proyal."
