Tentlon. WASHINGTON, July 22.-A request
from Colonel Roosevelt for an oppor
tunity to appear before tho donate for
eign relations committee In opposition to
the Colombian treaty wan considered to
day by the committee, without action,
however, as Chairman Stone was unable
to marshal a quorum. Colonel Roosc
vtlt wrote Chairman Stone ho wanted
to tell why he opposed paying $25,000,000
to Colombia for the partition of Panama.
"I replied to Colonel Roosevelt's letter
personally, saying that I would submit
the matter of hearings on the Colombian
treaty and his appearance before It to
the committee," said Senator Stone. "I
don't know what they will do about It"
Hasn't Set Dnte.
The Missouri senator said he had not
net a dato for another meeting of the
committee.
Later Senator Stone made public Colonel
Roosevelt's letter. In which the former
president wrote:
"If there Is any intention of your com
mittee to act favorably on the proposed
treaty with Colombia, by which we are
to pay Colombia $3,000,000 and to express
regret for the action taken In the past, I
respectfully request to be heard thereon.
"I was president throughout tho time
of the negotiations, first with Colombia
and then with Panama, by which we
acquired the right to build the "Panama
canal. Every net of .this government In
connection with thcseWegotlatlons and
with other proceedings for taking posses
sion of tho canal zone and beginning the
building of the canal was taken by my
express direction or else In carrying out
the course of conduct, I as president,
hod laid down.
Had FntI Kumvlerifre.
"I- had. full knowledge, of everythlptg- of
any Importance that wns done In regard
thereto by any agent of the government,
and I was solely responsible for what
was done. Tho then "secretary of state,
John Hay, who Is now dead, tjnd'alinost
an complete a first hand knowledge of
what occurred; but no man now living,
except myself, has this first hand knowl
edge, and no man, living or dead, shared
with me the responslbllllyfor the action
I took, save In a wholly minor degree. I
"I request to appear before you, to I
make a full statement of exactly what I
did and of what was done by my orders,
to state the reasons therefor and to an
swer any questions that your body or
the members of your body choose to put
to me."
Oppoaen Hrarlnir.
Senator Stone Indicated that he person
ally was not Jn favor of hearings.
"Tho question 'to be considered by this
committee," said Senator Stone, "Is not
so much what happened In Colombia ten
or eleven years ago. The subject for us
to consider Is how to adjust our relations.
Colonel Roosevelt has said time and again
what he had to say about Colombia, if
he has anything further to say, as far
as I am concerned, let him write It out
and send It to the committee. I am not
much In favor of turning the foreign rela
tions committee of the senate Into a
town meeting."

Now that the delegates for the Iowa

tho convention, which is to bo hoW In
tho Auditorium there beginning at 10:30
this morning, there Is much talk of state
harmony and only an undercurrent that
savors of possible fllssentlon arising over
the question of state wide woman suf
frage and, state wide prohibition. Several
hundred of tho delegates gathered at the
Grand hotel during the day yesterday,
and discussed politics freely. They are
enthusiastic lot this year, and all declare
the democrats In the stato have a better
'chance this year, than they hays had .for
many years. .

by Mr. Doollttlo, was tho low market

mony o Humors.
The chief complainant against Principal
L. C. Ilnimlsel of tho Omaha High School
of Commerce, charged with being "In
discreet," has icmoved herself from the
Jurisdiction of tho Board of Kducatlon
and 1ms refused to testify. Mr. Rusmlnct
and his attorney havo pwadpd with tho
prosecution to produco her! they state
publicly thut tho complainants have thus
far confined themselves to vague rumors
and heat nay und that this, chief witness
W responsible for all of tlicfcy rumors.
Miss Kdth Aldermnn, the witness In
question was told by tho Judiciary coin
mllteo of tho Hoard of JSducntlqn which Is
hearing thrt charges, that unless she re
turned from lior mother's home In Iowa
to testify the board would go to her and
tuko her testimony. She came to Omaha.
When tho cninmltteo met yesterday Mies
Aldcrmnn, known to hnvo lccn In Omaha
Tuesday night, had disappeared. Sho was
located In Council Bluffs, beyond the Juris
diction of the committee, and sho abso
lutely refused to go on tho stand, unless
Miss Kllnn 15. Drummond, now In
tho eust, and Miss Kathorlne White, now
In Chicago, wero brought back.
"Sho In resorting to subterfuge," said
Attorney C. A. Qoss for Mr. Rusmlsol.
Refuses lo Come llnelc.
Tho chairman of the Judiciary com
mltten wired for Miss Drummond and
Miss White, offering to pay their return
expenses If they would come back to
testify, but they refused, saying they
know mo llttlo of the rasn that It would
not be worth whllo for them to return.
Attorney Kd Simeral and tho other com
plainants nro making no effort to Induce
Miss Alderman to go on th estand. Mr.
Simeral said he did not know what Miss
Alderman Intended to do.
Mr. Rusmlsel's friends declared Miss
Alderman was afraid to subject herself to
thn grilling examination' Attorney Qoss
had prepnred for her. Sho was formerly
a teacher at the Omaha High School of
Commerce nnd her services had ben dis
pensed with because of alleged Ineffi
ciency. All Avnllnhle Witnesses Kmnilnetl.
Tho defense, which has assumed the at
titude of the prosecutors, has little hope
of securing Miss Alderman's testimony
now. Tho Investigating commltteo will
complete Its work today, all of tho avail
able witnesses having been examined.
Mr. Rusmlse), himself, went on the
stand In his own defense. Others who
testified for him wero Miss AUco B.
Hoskln, Krvlng L. Brawford, Lloyd
Bertschl and M. C. Wood, teachers at
the Omaha High School of Commerce.
Twenty-two teachers and pupils have
appeared before tho Judiciary committee
to testify In Mr. Rusmlsel's behalf.
Dr. K. Holovtchlncr, chairman of the
Judiciary commltteo, sold the committee's
report would probably be submitted to the
Board of Kducatlon nt a regular meeting
the first Monday night In August.
Tho committee will meet at 9 o'clock

It wns tho first formal call of the three

Falls adjourned. They wero accompanied
by Secretary Bryan and for nearly nn

all Its phases. They expressed the view
that Francisco Carbajal was ready to
turn over the government to General Car

would bo no wholesale executions, ar
rests or confiscation of property.
Thoy told President Wilson that Car
bajal would not surrender uncondition

given would concentrate all tho military
forces and resist to the utmost any ef
fort to Invade Mexico City.
