crimination and favoritism In awarding
cableway contracts for the canal by gov
ernment officials.
Col. Gocthuls took the stand toward
tho end of a session replete with sensa
tional Incidents. Wm. A. Brother*, who
brought tho charges, had publicly accused
Hnencer Miller, a representative of the
Lldgorwood Manufacturing Company of
perjury, nnd had followed this accusa
tion by the charge that the inquiry woe
not being conducted on fair lines, saying
tho witnesses for the defense were tho
only ones given a bearing.
"I have been charged with false state
ments hy Mr. Brothers," said Cel. Ooeth-
als. "I am also practically charged with
cormnt practices by Senator Blator, Mr.
Wood and Mr. Brothers. I Intend to
answer these charges fully, but the mat-
will not ho taken up In the manner

Mr*. Ada L. Croom, the widely
known proprietor of the Croom Hotel,
Vaughn, Mis*., say*: "For several
months I suffered with a severe cough,
and consumption seemed to have Its
grip on me, when a friend recommend-

Col. Goetlials said that It had been

oomptby,
"I saw that trouble was In the air," he
said, "so I turned the matter or tho bids
ovor to Major Seiberts, II. If. Rousseau
and such other pnrsuns a* they might
call In."
Col. Goethnls read letters from Mr.
tousseau reporting tho hearing given
_r» bidders nnd recommending another
advertising for bids. The bidders were
notified that no sward hod been made,
the loiters showed, but that the bids
would not be formally refused until
Hjwnrer Miller had been given an oppor
tunity to explain a matter In connootlon

er nn Interview with Mr. Miller, Col.
Goethnls nays, Mr. Rousseau recom
mended that It would be to the advantage
of the government If tho Lidgerwood
Company could l»e granted tha contract.
This wus not satisfactory, CoL Ooethals
testified, so all tho bids were rejected.
Denies Any Wrongdoing.
Attempt has been made to prove
eolluHlon between the Iddgerwood, or any
oilier company and myself, 1 deny any
foundation for It." said Col. Ooethals.
"Wn are not expert cableway men and
•e not expert In many othor Tines. When

The charges that the specifications ad
vertised In the second hid had limited

nine other companies which, h* said,
re competent to bo bidders.
If any one ran show me that I have

Company I want to be shown," continued
Col, Goethnls. . "A matter I want placed
on record Is the visit to fny office of Mr.
Wood, of the New York Cableway anti
Engineering Company. Mr. Wood asked
If It would be of any use for his firm
to bid on other works. Jfe said he had
been told on tha Isthmus that h|a firm ,
could naver do any work down there. I
told him that his Informant was *a d— <

or Major Hlebert, Senator Slater asked
