COLOMBIA EXEMPT
UNDER NEW TREATY IT MAY
USE CANAL FREE.
BRYAN ANNOUNCES THE TERMS
Opponent* to Repeal Measure Con
side Agreement Furnishes Them
New Ammunition.
Washington.—Free use of the Pana
ma canal by Colombian men-of-war,
troop ships and army and navy supply
vessels is proposed in the new treaty
between the United States and Colom
bia, signed at Bogota, to heal * th«
breach between the two countries
over the separation of Panama.
This was announced by Secretary
Bryan with the explanation that the
clause in the convention was identical
with the one in the Colombian treaty
negotiated and ratitied by the United
States senate, though never accepted
by Columbia.
Mr. Bryan's statement folliflved a
long conference at the State depart
ment with Senator O’Gorman, chair
man of the senate canals Committee,
which has under consideration the ad
ministration bill, repealing the clause
of the Panama canal act exempting
American coastwise shipping from I
canal toll6.
Gets New Ammunition.
Senator O’Gorman, who is leading
the democratic opposition to Presi
dent Wilson's repeal policy, went
back to the eapitol with new ammu
nition for his tight. He would not dis
cuss tlie subject, but other opponents ]
of exemption repeal pointed to the |
fact that Great Britain in '1909 had
agreed to preferential treatment for ]
Colombias' peculiar relation to the 1
canal as evidence that Great Britain j
and President Wilson now are putting ;
a new construction on the words “all
nations,” in the close of the Hay- i
Ptuncefote treaty, guaranteeing equal
treatmeut to the vessels ot' the ua- :
tions of the world using the canal.
Their claim is that these words were
not intended to apply to the United
States, the owner of the canal and :
they will urge the admission of Great
Britain in the Columbian matter as
proof.
Charges She Was Hit by Governor.
Topeka, Kan.—Governor George H.
Hodges of Kansas was made the de
fendant in a civil suit filed in the dis
trict court here by Mrs. Lucile West
of Wichita, who charged in her peti- j
tion that the governor wrenched her
wrist and arm and struck her with
his fist during an alleged altercation !
in his office.
The petition stated that Mrs. West,
with a woman companion, went to the
state house to get copies of letters
written to the governor in connection
with a parole for a prisoner. After
she had obtained possession of some
of the correspondence. Mrs. West
charges, the governor tried to Regain
them forcibly. In this alleged en- I
counter she charged that he struck
her. . Mrs. West asked for damages
amounting to *2.300.
Metcalfe's Back From Panama.
Washington.—Richard L, Met
calfe. former commissioner from the
Isthmian canal, Mrs. Metcaife, and
their sons, Lee and Kenneth Met
calfe. have arrived in Washington
from Panama, where Mr. Metcalfe
for the last six months in his capac
ity of commissioner, has been the
head of the department of civil ad
ministration. Mr. Metcalfe returns
from the canal cone looking "fit as
a fiddle'' and enthusiastic over the
olim&te in that country, which at on5
time was the breeding place of yellow
fever and other constitutional ills,
but which through the genius of an
American surgeon. General Wm C.
Gorgas. now surgeon genera! of the
army, has become almost a pleasure
ground.
Pelts Seen Floating in Sea.
St. Johns. N. F.—Seal pelts thought
i to have come from the missing seal
ing steamer Southern Cross were
; sighted seventy miles south of St.
Mary' s bay by the steamer Kyle,
which has been searching the coast
for a week. This is the first definite
j clew to the fate of the vessel, which
was last reported off the southern
coast on March 31.
It is believed the pelts either were
| washed from the decks of the sealer
! or floated to the sur.ace after it went
• down. None of the sealing fleet
I which came in from the St. Lawrence
1 grounds lost any skins in the vicinity
’ of St. Mary s bay.
Brigands Continue Butchery.
i Peking.—Brigands under the notor
ious "White Wolf" have killed hnn
I dreds of inhabitants of the towns ot
, Huh Sien, Chow Chih and Meih Sien,

tain & Southern railroad here, was

A number of surprising changes j
were recorded. Falls City went dry '
after forty-five years of saloons. Su
perior went dry by one vote. Wahoo |
went dry. Hickman. Emerson and
Callaway were other changes to the ’
dry column.
St. Paul went wet after a hot fight
on the liquor question. Tekamah went '
dry for the eighth year. In many j
contests the vote was very close.
The following are the results in the j
more _ important towns in the state.!
and particularly when "wet or dry" !
was the issue:
House Passes New Pension Bill.
Washington.—Pensions for widows
and minor children of the officers and
men who served in the Spanish war. '
the Philippine insurrection and the '
boxer uprising in China would be an- j
thorized by a bill which has passed 1
the house by a vote of 276 to 54. The ■
bill would grant $12* monthly to the j
widow of an honorably discharged sol
dier or sailor and $2 monthly for each
child under sixteen years of age. pro
vided that the widow shall have mar
ried the soldier prior to the passage
of the bill.
Kearney.—With the same majority
as that of a year ago, Kearney re
mained wet by 43 votes. The lighting
contract providing for a series of orna
mental street lights ,was carried by
183 votes to the surprise of many who
thought the opposition was too strong.
The Sunday baseball question was de
cided with a majority of ninety-live
votes.
Beatrice.—Closing one of the most
bitter campaigns in the history of the
city the three present commissioners,
J. R. Spyer, J. W. Mayer and J. R. C.
Field, were re-elected. The city will
remain in the wet column and the Sun
day baseball and the Sunday amuse
ment questions failed to carry. The
wets carried the city by a majority of
178. Sunday baseball lost by forty
one.
Broken Bow.—At the municipal elec
tion here A. M. Brew, on the people's
independent ticket, was elected over
Mayor E. E. Squires of the citizens
ticket. The contest was close and
spirited. Brew's majority was about
sixteen. Sunday baseball was Carried
and pool halls were voted out. Sa
loon license was not voted upon, and
the town remains dry.
Havelock.—The democrats secured
the election of their candidate for
mayor, one councilman and the city
engineer (uneontested) at Havelock.
The republican candidates were elect
ed to other offices. Sunday baseball
was approved by a large majority.
An unusually large vote was polled.
Hebron.—W. C. Cooper was elected
mayor on the dry ticket by four votes.
The dry element prevailed by a ma
jority of eleven votes. Two. wards
went dry, one wet and one a combina
tion of wet and dry votes. The pool
hall question received an equal num
ber of votes from both parties. Sun
day baseball was decisively defeated
by forty votes.
Columbus.— The ticket nominated
by the citizens and endorsed by the
democrats was elected, although there
was some opposition, especially on
the school board. The saloon ques
tion was not an issue.
Tecumseh.—Tecumseh stays in the
dry column by seventy-three majority.
The town went dry last year by but
six. Sunday basebali was defeated by
ninety-four votes. Harry s Villar
was elected mayor.
rails (. ity.— For the first time m
forty-five years Falls City went cry
today by a majority of 172. Over a
thousand votes were cast during the
day.
Humboldt.—Humboldt changed her
policy and wen t dry by twelve votes.
Mayor Davis, democrat, was defeated
by A. L. Brunn, republican, by eight
votes.
Wahoo—Wahoo went dry by a ma
jority of seven, for the first time for

Electric Power for Long Pine.
Long Pine.—Much interest is cen
tered in a plan to dam Long Fine
creek and create electric power fcr
use in this city and other towns up j
and down the road. An engineer has
been looking over the ground with H.
M. Culberson, a well known local cap!- j
talist and promorer. If the plan is |
found feasible it is said a large amount j
of outside capital can be secured to 1
construct the dam and power plant, as 1
the neverending supply of water and i
the narrow walls of the canon render i
the undertaking comparatively easy.

But Little Reduction in Revenue.
Washington.—The Underwood-Sim- '
mons tariff act went into effect six
months ago and present indications
are that it will not reduce customs
revenue any more than was estimated
in congress at the time of passage.
According to the treasury’s March
statement, customs revenues amount
ed to about $26,000,000 which is about
Sl.500.0d0 less than the Payne-Aldrich
law produced in March. 1915. That
was a marked increase over February,
when revenues fell over flO.OOO.OOo!
compared to the same raoith of 19'^. ’ *

Virtue of Self-Expression.
If children are allowed to give vent
to all that is joyous and happy and
spontaneous in their natures, they ■*
be infinitely more likely to blossom
out into helpful men and women in
stead of sedate, suppressed, sad-facec
individuals. Children w ho are encour
aged in self-expression through their
play instinct will not only make much
more norma! human beings, but wiii
make better business men. better pro
fessional mem better citizens, better
men and women generally. They will
: succeed better and have a nobler in
: fluenee in the world. Joy and fun are
great developers, calling out our rich
est resources, educating our fullei
powers.—Nautilus.

Bitter Sweet.
It happened at one of those places
where one goes to dine and dance.
The cheerful young man about town
blew in and was adopted into a per
fectly good bohemian party. Attached
I somehow to the perfectly good bo
hemian party was a young woman
with that weary, haughty air so much
in favor In the younger tango set.
The cheerful youth asked her to do a
hesitation waltz with him. She didn't
mind if she did. But after they had
made a few turns about the room she
led her partner back to the table.
"Honey,” she said languidly, "you
must go somewhere and learn to
dance.”
