TOO MUCH TALK COST ME JOB Secretary of State Knox Early in Afternoon Notifies Him He Will Accept His Resignation From the Position. i WASHINGTON, Oct. 12.—Secretary of State Knox, early this afternoon Inform ed Charles R. Crane, minister delegate to China, that he would accept his resigna tion. Mr. Crane had already advised the sec retary that he was prepared to resign if 1 the recent developments had made his further service in that position embar rassing to the department. Mr. Knox has advised President Taft of his action. RESIGNS TO PRESIDENT. Should Mr. Crane decide to accede to the secretary’s suggestion, which It is taken for granted he will do promptly, his resignation will In tne nature of the case be addressed not to the state de partment. but to the president, who ap i pointed him. • It was said at the state department that Mr. Knox would return thia after noon to his home at Valley Forge, Pa. I Mr. Crane, when seen at his hotel this afternoon, said he had received a formal letter from Secretary Knox, requesting him to tender his resignation as min ister to China. Mr. Crane explained that he had not seen the statement given out to the press at the state department, and , declined to talk for publication until he could read it. ' In announcing his action, Mr. Knox gave out the following statement, adding ; that he would have nothing to add to it: SECRETARY KNOX'S STATEMENT. "The department of state has been en gaged for some time in making the usual study of the recent agreements between I China and Japan tn relation to Manchuria ! from such data bearing upon the situation as it was able to secure, with a view of determining whether there is anything in the agreements adversely affecting Ameri can interests or in conflict with the prin ciple of equal opportunities to which the powers are pledged; a study not yet con cluded and in respect to which no decision ; has been reached. i “While this investigation was proceed ' ing. Mr. Crane, the minister to China, came to the department and while there was Informed by one of the clerks that such an examination was being made. REFERS TO “STORY.” "Without consultation with the acting secretary or any other responsible officer of the department, and without. the knowledge or authority of anyone con nected with the department. Mr. Crane . gave out a newspaper story to the effect I that this government was preparing to i protest against some features of the I agreements, and that the promulgation of the protest only awaited the return of an official who was to formulate it. "The story appeared in a western paper and at the same time or a day later, in the Japanese press and subsequently was , generally published. Buch were the rep resentations made to me October 1 by j the responsible officers of the department • of state, accompanied by their statement that they had sufficient reason to believe them to be true. Whereupon I sent ' Mr.- Crane at San Francisco the following tele- , gram, dated October 3, 1909: " ’You have been charged with the re sponsibility for the canards recently ap pearing in the Japanese and American press to the effect that the United States is preparing to protest against the Chi nese-Japanese agreement. The evidence that you are responsible for this is ol such a character as warrants me in di recting you to come to Washington at orce and meet it. If you are not respon sible. as I hope you are not, matters relating to Orietnal affairs have developed since you leu. Washington to make it ad visable for me to communicate with you personally and in the utmost confidence in relation thereto.’ ADMITTED GIVING INTERVIEW. ’ “At a conference with Mr. Crane Sun day evening he admitted having an indis creet talk with a reporter which resulted In the publications referred to, and as suming responsibility, stated that if the indiscretion was great enough to shake my confidence in his usefulness, he would willingly resign. I have reluctantly reached the conclusion that the good of the service demands that I should Inform Mr. Crane that his resignation will be accepted, and I have done so.” CRANE TO REPLY LATER. Mr. Crane, after receiving Secretary Knox's letter calling for his resignation, was shown a copy of Mr. Knox’s state ment and read it attentively. Returning the paper to the reporter who brought tt. he remarked that the matter was one too serious to be discussed off-hand but prom ised an interview later in the day. Crane's Appointment Not Pleasing to Cotton Men COLUMBIA. S C., Oct. 12.—Charles R. Crane, the newly appointed minister to < hlna. who was reca».ed from San Fran cisco on the point of sailing for his new post, io account to Secretary Knox for al ■leged indiscreet remarks about the situ*, tion in the East, is well known in South Carolina, being closely related to the Smyths and other prominent Palmetto families, and having contributed gener ously to educational institutions here from time td time. Mr. Crane spent several 'weeks in Columoia last fall. It is no secret tnat his appointment displeased the cotton manufacturers, who had hoped that a southern man more familLir with the possibilities for the de velopment of the Chinese market sot American textiles would be designated; but this feeling Mr. Crane in part allayed i»v his cordial reception of three South Carolinians who fecently called upon him to discuss the situation. The party con sisted of President ~,ewls W. Parker, ol the American. Cotton aMnufacturers 1 as sociation; Capt. Ellison A. Smyth, a mem the American Cotton Manufacturers’ as sociation, and William E. Beattie, a prom inent mill man of Greenville. Mr. Crane has been known principally for his large operations In steel and, his long and close business relations with Russia, as well as his Intense love for that country; so much so that his ap pointment gave rise to surmises here that probably relations between China and Russia were drawing to a head and the state department thought a man with Mr. Crine's peculiar knowledge of Russian leaders and policies might be the most useful minister this country could have at Peking. Traveling with «r. Crane en route westward were his wife and younger son, ac well as his eldest son, Stephen, and the latter’s bride, a charming heiress of Fairfax county, X irginia. The young couple were going only as far as Moscow. Stephen Crane is the grandson of that Stephen Crane who founded the great steel house oY Crane & Co., Chi cago. He is a Harvard man. CRANE’S FATE NO*W IN HANDS OF TAFT WASHINGTON, Oct. 13.-The simple statement that the "Crane incident” is closed was the only response made today at the White House and the state depart ment to the inquiry as to whether Presi dent Taft had accepted Mr. Crane’s res ignation. It was stated that nothing had been heard from the president today. "What will President Taft do with the | resignation of Charles THE ATLANTA SEMI- WEEKLY JOURNAL, ATLANTA, GEORGIA, ’ FRIDAY.

In one form or an other this question was on the Ups of all official Washington this morning. It is long since a diplomatic episode has excit ed the national capital more than this one. Mr. Crane’s stinging reply last night 1 to the statement in which Secretary of i State Knox yesterday afternoon announc ' ed that he had informed the minister des ignate that his resignation would be ac cepted, including, as the reply did, Mr. Crane’s exceedingly lucid telegram of virtual resignation to the president, was read and re-read with the keenest zest.

Former Gov. Hoke Smith returned to Atlanta Monday from New York, where , he went to attend the annual meeting of ■ the board of trustees of the Peabody fund ' Mr. Smith was very much Interested in . I the report of Alonzo Richardson & Co., I expert accountants, who examined th® ; books of the state treasury. This report. it will be recalled, estimated the deficit . of the treasury on January 1, 1910, to be , 3728.&66.50. Mr. Smith takes exception to the conclusions drawn by the report, and , states that instead of there being a deficit January 1. 11)10, there would be in the treasury, provided al! taxes were collected and all obligations paid, approximately W,750,000. NEAR-BEER TAX OMITTED. The near-beer tax for 1909 has been j omitted in the estimate for 1909, he states. This of itself would increase the revenue l of the state by $200,000. The increased ad j valorem taxes of the state will, he as- I serts, increase the revenue of the state over 1908 by approximately SIOO,OOO. He v calls attention to the fact that, in making up the deficit of‘the treasury, $09,000 ap propriated for purchase of terminals in Chattanooga is included. As the options for this property have been allowed to lapse, he naturally thinks this an error. In a word, Mr. Smith, after carefully an ' alyzing the report, says the revenues of ' the state should be ifioreased by $238,000 and the expenditures lessened by $69,000. j Governor Brown, when asked if he I had not received some weeks ago a ■statement from Alonzo Richardson & Co., which showed there would be ap , proximately $2,000,000 in the treas ury January 1. if all taxes were paid and al! disbursements made, declined to answer. He also declined to answer other questions put to him and re ferred them to Alonzo Richardson & Co. In concluding bis statement, Mr. Smith says: ’ "If a balance Is made charging the state on January 1, 1910, with all appropriations for 1909, whether due. bf,undue, and cred -1 iting it with all taxes for 1909, whether collected or ln t process of collection, it will show that instead of there being a , deficit there would.,he* tq the credit of the j state approximately t 1.750,000.” MR. SMITH’S STATEMENT. I "I have carefully examined the report 1 made by Messrs. Alonzo Richardson and Company upon thk Sflte treasury. I "It consists largely of estimates and I conclusions which required experience In the construction of r statutes and in the management otithe ithances of the state, rather than capacity in expert account- I ing. ' t i "Messrs. -1 dertaken to prepent the condition of the treasury as it WSa ,January 1, 1908 and 1909, and to estimate what will be the condition of the treasury- January 1, 1910. They slate January 1, 1908. the state owed excess of demand , liabilities over cash in hand.. 5646,069.02 January 1, 1909, the stkte owed ; excess of demapd liabilities over '! i cash in Estimated casi deficit January 1. 1910 1 728,566.50 “Each of'these three statements is erroneous. The state owed no deiiiand liabilities in excess of cash on hand on January 1, 1908, or January 1, 1909. There will be no cash deceit January 1, 1910. "In making up this statement they have treated all appropriations for a current year as ‘demand I labilities,’ when appro priations for a current year are payable lin part during the current year and in part during the six months following. ! APPROPRIATIONS NOT PAYABLE. . “Let me illustrate by the year 1908, AP lof the appropriations for 1908 w*re not payable during 1908. A consideraole por ; tion of them could not have been legally • paid by the governor during 1908. They ! matured during the first six months of 11909. To charge them as ‘demand lia- i I bilities’ on January 1, 1909, was either' • to misconceive the law applicable to their i ‘ payment, or to make a misleading state- I I ment. “When I state that ‘demand liabilities’ did not exceed the eash in the treasury on January 1, 1909, I state a fact which was under my personal supervision. So far from ‘demand liabilities’ exceeding the cash in thq treasury on January 1, 1909. in point of truth the cash in the treasury exceeded ‘demand liabilities* more than $400,000. “Messrs. Richardson & Co., used the term 'estimated cash deficit* and applied the same to January 1. 1910, just as they used the term ‘demand liabilities over cash in hand' as applied to January 1, 1908, and January* 1, 1909. “They have charged all of the appro priations of 1909 as ‘demand liabilities* against the treasury on January 1, 1910, when a considerable portion of the ap propriations for lIKA w'H not mature, and cannot legally be paid, until different pe riods during the first six months of 1910 “Appropriations for 1909, which will be come due at various .trues from Januaiy to June, 1910, in a correct statement, can not be charged as demand liabilities on January 1, l»xO- "A statement which purports to esti mate the cash which will be in the treas ury on January 1, 1910, charging the treas ury with every appropriation made tor 1909 as a demand liability, is entirely in accurate and useless. It presents a false view of what the condition of the treas ufy w’ill be. “It would be just as fair to a merchant to make up a statement of what hia finan cial condition the first of next January would be and charge him up with every account or note which he will owe during the first six months of next year, as though all of his accounts and bills pay able were due on the first of January. “A large part of the ad valorem taxes for 11'9, which are chargeable with pay ment of appropriations for 1909, will be collected during the first six months of next year. They will be collected long before the appropriations tor 1909 will ma ture during next year, and will far ex ceed the amount of the appropiations. CANNOT SL*STai,\LD. "To make a treasury estimate of date January 1, IslO, charging the treasury with all of the appropriations for 1909 as demand liabilities, when a considerable portion oi them will not mature until several months later, without crediting ‘he treasury in the estimate with ail the amounts due for taxes on January 1, 1910. which will be collected before the appropriations are due, cannot be sus tained. "It would be just as fair to make a statement of the financial condition of a merchant and charge him with all, of the notes and accounts which he owes with out giving him credit for notes and ac counts that are due to him. "Besides improperly charging all of the appropriations for 1909 as demand liabili ties, Messrs. Richardson & Co. have further erred in their estimate of a cash deficit for January 1, 1910. They estimated the Increase of revenue for 1909 over 1908 at $61,737.76. “I have not their detailed figures, but I ( Hayner’s Great Special OfferTl B READ IT—IT’S SOMETHING NEW—the most attractive offer we fe ever made and one that will meet with a tremendous response.

The return of ad valorem taxes will Increase the revenue for 1009 Over 1908 about SIOO,OOO. From these two items alone there will be an increase of revenue for 1909 over 1908 of approximate ly $300,000. When Messrs. Richardson & Co. estimated the Increase of revenue at $61,737.76, they underestimated it at least 3238,000. "In estimating the expenditures for 1909, they included $69,000 for the purchase of the Western and Atlantic terminals at Chattanooga. As the options upon the terminals have lapsed, this item should not have been placed in the estimate of expenditures. They have, therefore.

They charged as demand liabilities all of the appropriations made lor a current year, when those appropriations do not all mature until the first six months of the following year. TAXES NOT CREDITED. “They omitted to give credit for the taxes which will be collected during the period that the appropriations mature. "There will be no deficit in the treasury on January 1, next. "If a correct estimate is made of those appropriations that can become demand liabilities by the first of January, and of the taxes that will be collected by the first of next January, the estimate will show not less than $400,000 of cash left In the treasury on the first day of January, after all demand liabilities have been paid. "This would give a correct cash esti mate of the condition of the treasury. “If an estimate is sought of the financial condition of the treasury on the first oil next Janary, involving liabilities and as sets, then the treasury is entitled to credit for the uncollected taxes of 1909 CASTOR IA For Infants and Children.

Governor Brown: "Was there not a calculation made by expert accountants which showed what would be In the treasury If all taxes for I 1909 were collected and all appropriations ! paid on January 1, 1910? I "Is it not true that if this were done there would be between $1,500,000 and $2,000,000 in the treasury January 1, 1910? T "If you have had no such calculation made, why did you not have this made so as to know the real financial condition o< the treasury?” To each he replied: "You must consult Messrs. Alonzo Richardson & C 0.,” Continuing he said: "When I came into this office I natur | ally desired to know the financial condl | tion of the state. With that end in view i a sl.ort time after the adjournment of the legislature, I engaged the services of ■ Alonzo Richardson & Co., to whom all the books in the treasury and comptrol ler general’s- offices were made available. Their report has been made a day or two ago and any citizen of Georgia can in terpret it as well as I. I will merely add that I employed Messrs. Alonzo Richard- I son & Co., first, because of their estab lished reputation for personal integrity, I and for skill as accountants; secondly, ■ because Governor Smith, having em ployed them to check the accounts of the ; treasury department, after Captain Parks died and when Mr. Pope Brown was ap pointed treasurer, I believed that this firm would be satisfactory to both schools of thought in Georgia.” Mr. Richardson was busy all the fore noon and could not be seen.

It has been understood for some time that Mr. Neill would not surrender the j office, but that he would go into the courts for his rights in the matter, he having been advised by a number of the leading attorneys of this section that his appointment, waz perfectly legal, but he has finally settled the matter by releasing his claim to the office. THIS PUMPKIN YAM SHAPED LIKE A DUCK A pumpkin yam, shaped as much like a duck as though it had been hatched from a goose egg, was found by R. W. Jones, the grocer, 153 Davis street, Monday morning in two bushels of potatoee he had bought from a countryman's wagon. When Mr. Jones paid for the potatoes he had no idea what a curiosity they con tained. though on thinking of the matter afterwards he remembered that the whole aspect of the team and truckster was extraordinary. The mule was a trled-up, witch-looking beast with a fiery red spot on the end of his tall and a diabolical » glint in the corner of his eye. The farmer had little to say, but remarked signifi cantly: ‘‘You'll find the best yams ycu ever bought.’* ■ Dumping the potatoes into a corner of" his store, Mr. Jones went about hla busi ness. Shortly after this he heard a great hubbub among his chickens. Investiga tion showed that they had beaded their eyes on an object in the potato pile and were well-nigh crazy over It. Then he found the grotesque yam. It was about half a foot long. At one end It tapered off into a perfect likeness of a duck’s tai’ and at the other into i duck’s head.
