Washington, June 12.—In language
that can not be mistaken the exact
text of which .was made public by the
War Department yesterday, the Presl- i because, as he informed Gov. Black-
dent Amador was a denial of any
fraudulent election and a refusal to
take any of the steps suggested.
Subsequently, an agreement was
reached between tho Panama authori-
ties and the Minister, and Commission-
ers Goethals and Blackburn, with the
general counsel of the commission,
Mr. Rogers, by which Panama agreed
to create a commission of electorate
inquiry to investtgate tho complaints
of all parties and under which the
United States was to Join in the In-
quiry through any person appointed
by It with the right to examine and
cross-examine all witnesses concern-
ing past, present and future proceed-
ings, and with the right to inspect and
copy Inscriptions on the registration
lists, and to attend all sessions of the
registration and election Juries.
On the 18th of May the commission-
ers were appointed and went to the
various places of registration in the
districts. The Panaman authorities
consented that registration should
proceed for ten days from the 15th to
the 25th of May, and this was tele-
graphed officially all over the coun-
try. Subsequently three Governors,
known to be In favor of Obaldla, the
opponent of Secretary Arias, were re-
moved from office by the President,
dent and Secretary Taft have notified I bum, he did not propose to have any-
the Panama Government that elections
in that Republlo must be conducted
fairly. The circumstances attending
this warning were given out for pub-
lication as If In preparation for active
body In office opposed to the Govern-
ment. The other four Governors are
Arias men. At the same time the
Government, has decreased by eleven
the electoral votes, which, under the

Secretary Taft in a letter delivered
to President Amador, in person, and •>
dated May 12, suggests that two years );
ago when charges of fraud were made !!
concerning the Congressional election
at Panama, It was not thought beat to
do more than urge fairness In the ad- ««
ministration of election laws.
“Some very weighty evidence was
adduced,” he continues, “to show
there were many who bad been depriv-
ed of their Constitutional right to vote
in that election, and there was much £
evidence of violence and repeating by
the police In the cities of Panama, t

by the United States Government. It

Presidential election to follow, gr«#ter

rights of the citizens.*
“The Interest of the United States
in the fairness of the elections of the
Republic Is manifest. The United
States guarantees the integrity of the
Republic, and this Involves a recogni-
tion by it of the lawful Government.
If fraud is to intervene In the elec-
tion so that a dispute arises as to who
are tho lawfully elected authorities,
then It becomes necessary for the
United States, In the discharge of its
treaty, and Constitutional duty, to de-
termine who are the lawfully elected
officers In order that It may recog-
nize them, and deal with them as
such.
“Since my coming to the isthmus I
have received petitions from a com-
mittee representing the Liberal party
and a committee representing the
Conservative party, advising that, at
the coming election there Is the inten-
tion on the part of officials who are
In the Government to deprive the law-
ful voters of the Republic of the op-
portunity to express their choice of i!
candidate for the Presidency, and by j
fraud and violence to return as the
successful candidate ft that election.
Honor Arias, the present Secretary of
State.”
After reciting some of the specific
charges of fraud, he suggested that
the registration lists should again be
opened in order that voters should
not be deprived of the right to cast
their ballots.
“It goes without saying,” he said,
“that the United States will be most
reluctant to intervene In the Internal
affairs of the Republic of Panama, but
for the reasons
the occasion arise
it can be avoided.

The Fort Worth Star of yesterday
prints a story of considerable Inter-
est to Denison people. A telephone
conversation with the Star this morn-
ing discloses that tho information
comes from an authentic source. The
Star says:
Owing to a tangle and a misunder-
standing between the Texas Railroad
Commission and the various railroads
entering Denison, it is said that tho
construction work on the magnificent
depot being erected at that plaice by
the Missouri, Kansas & Texas, will
be discontinued shortly and tho forces
of men will be discharged and the
work postponed Indefinitely.
Owing to tho disagreement between
the railways and tho Commission, the
Commission has ordered tho attorney
general to bring suits for penalties
In the sum of something like 630,000.
The Katy has concluded that, If these
penalties are to be paid, they will put
a stop to the work on the depot till
they can earn enough money to pay
them or at least till the cases are de-
cided in court.
The depot that is under process of
construction at Denison Is, according
to the plans, a handsome str ture,
and which, when completed will be
a credit to the town as well as the
railroad Interests. Tho building will
coat in the neighborhood of a quarter
of a million dollars.
The penalty suits were ordered
brought by the Commission against I
the various lines entering Denison—!
the Katy, Frisco and Houston & Texas I
Central—because these lines had fail-1
ed to get together and arrange for the
erection of a union depot under an
order of the Commission.
The railroads claim that the suits
are unjust since they were instituted
after, the Katy had commenced the
erection of a depot on its own initia-
tive with tho understanding that the
other lines should run Into it and pay
rentals for the privilege. The suit of
tho Commission Iz brought because
the construction of the depot was not
started at the time ordered by the
Commission.
The citizens of Denison will be
greatly depressed If tho construction
work Is stopped. For many years the
progressive business interests there
have striven untiringly to secure a
new depot and the present building
was not started till some money had
been raised by the people of Denison
to help to purchase a suitable site.
The hearing of the penalty suits Is
set for June 22, and It is safe to say
that the citizens of Denison will do
everything possible to prevent the
work) being suspended.
Dallas, Tex., June 12.—General At-
torney Miller of the Katv says tho
penalty suits on account of the Deni-
son Union Depot are set for trial at
Sherman on June 22. Nobody at the
Katy general offices knows anything
about the report of stopping work on
the structure. Judge Miller will no*
be present at the hairing as he is pre-
paring to leave for his summer vaca
tion In the North.
Cecil H. Smith of Sherman will try
the case for the Katy.

Joseph Paroluskl Failed to Murder
Hie Family, However.
Cleveland. O., June 12.—Returning
from a dance last night with his wife
and four children, Joseph Paroluskl
committed suicide by practically de-
capitating himself with a razor. As
the family reached their home Paro-
lqski quarreled with his wife, drew
the razor and attacked the woman,
who fled with the children. The fren-
zied man was not fleet enough to over-
take them. Then with a powerful
sweep of the keen edged weapon he
slashed at his throat. The stroke car-
; rled the blade clear through to the
outer skin. When the police arrived
Paroluskl'* head merely dangled from
the torso.

prohibition. Mr. Bryan made the fol-
lowing statement:
"1 have receivei! many letters from

swered them all In the same way. I
have told them that I did not regard
the question as a National question.
While It Is an issue,! In a number of
states, I do not expect It to be made
an Issue by either the Republican or
