JAMES b. HAY MURDERED
BODY FOUND IN TRENCH AT SALT
LAKE.
He Was Robbed of S3,S00 in Cash by
PerpetratOr of the
Crime.

SALT LAKE. Utah. December 1S.-The
body of James r. Hay, secretary of the
Pacific Lumber Company. was today found
buried In shallow trench alongside the
Rio Grande tracks near 9Th and 18th south
streets. Monday night Hay called at the
home of Peter MOrtensen, a contractor 1iv-
ing at 2210 Walnut avenue, and collected
81 500 which MOrtensen owed the Pacific
Lumber Company, and which late in the
afternoon Hay had refused to accept, not
caring to leave that amount In the office
safe at night. He gave receipt to Morten-
for the money and left the latter's
house with the remark that he was going
to take the money to Manager G. +. Rom
ney of the lumber company. Since that time
nothing had been heard of Hay until today,
when his body was found. The money was
gone and in the back of Hays head was
great Jagged wound.
II is the theory of the police that some
one saw Hay receive the money from Nor
tensen followed him when ne left the house
and murdered him and buried the body In
the hastily dug trench.
Hay was thirty-one years of age and was
prominent in Mormon Church work. He
came to Salt Lake from Australia several
years ago.

Clash Retween Colombia and Vene-

dispatch from Colon, Colombia, yes

Associated Press requested General Carlos
Alban, governor of Panama and military
commander of this district, to explain Co

eral Alban has replied to this request in the
following terms:
General Castro, president of E-e1"z1ela.
is the principal factor in the Colombian rev.
olution. Since the beginning of-the war he
has furnished the revolutionists with arms
and ammunition Castro Cancelled the exc
quaturs of several Colombian consuls in
Venezuela, and insultingly treated Senor
Rico, the Colombian minister at Caracas.
Castro now pretends to demand satisfac-
t1on from Colombia, asking her to accept
Chiles offer Of mediation. For the above
expressed reasons, Colombia severed diplo-
matte relations with Venezuela
A boat has just arrived here from Playa
Donna, distant less than one mile from
Nombre de Dios, where the Colombian con-
servative and liberal forces fought an en-
gagement last Friday. She brings a few
sick government soldiers The troops

gunboat General Pinzon was seen this
morning off Playa Donna. Foreigners there
are claiming protection from the American
and British eonsulates here.
The French cruiser d'Estrees has arrived
here. She relieves the French cruiser Su-
chet, which has sailed for Martinique
General Alban added: Il would be glad II
the press would give publicity to the recent
conduct of President Regalado Of Salvador
who gave the Colombian revolutionists the
steamer Ibis and also supplied them with
arms and ammunition, and this, notwith-
standing the formal protests of the con-
Suls''
General Alban places confidence in the
reported capture of Rio Hacha by General
Tribe Alban says the. Colombian
government has 10000 men under arms.
Semi official advces received here Indicate
that active hostilities are about to begin be-
tween Colombia and Venezuela. The delay
In proceeding to extremes has been largely
caused by the lack of a suitable stock of
arms and ammunition by the Colombian
died. The news that comes today is to the
effect that the British steamer Bamreigh
which recently excited suspicion by loading
large cargo of arms in European waters,
supposedly intended for the Beers in South
Africa, was really chartered by the Colom-
bian government. She is now very near Co
Ion, and the advice is to the effect that
when she arrives and her cargo is distrib-
uted among the Colombian troops hostili-
ties will begin between Colombia and Vene-
Zuela.
