Rainey Charges Denied by Panamanian Officials
Panamanian President Domingo Obaldia and sixteen national assembly members denied Henry Rainey’s charges in Washington about timber contracts and foreign involvement. They said a meeting in Obaldia’s office discussed exploitation along the Atlantic coast, with no reference to Taft Cromwell Farnham, and the timber deal was rejected. The assembly passed a railway law and regulated foreign activity on the Atlantic coast. Obaldia also dismissed a government employee who criticized Cromwell and Roosevelt.
