The pending civil war in Colombia,
while draining the resources of the
country has evolved but one man Of
more than national reputation. That
man is Rafael Uribe-U Tribe, the most
active protagonist of the liberal party
in Colombia and the loved hero of the
revolutionists. Nominally Tribe
Tribe is but one Of several command
ers. the leader of liberal forces in the
north acting under the orders issued
to him by Gen. Vargas Santos from
the Island of Curacao. AS a. matter
of fact, however. Uribe-U Tribe is re-
garded throughout Colombia as the
httest of all leaders and as the COM

treachery. boyle of pious people and
children; in the surrounding liberal
countries of Venezuela, Ecuador Qua

is worshipped as a popular idol, a man

orator and general model of civic and
domestic virtues. His pretended like
ness is to be found on numberless
boxes of cigarettes and matches, and
his name is conjured with by drill SER
geants and school masters alike.

found him on the Colombian Venezuela

two brief executive sessions today for the
consideration OF the nomina tions for the

ried meeting OF the committee. at which
a favorable report on all the brigader

DECIDES TWO INDIAN CASES
Justice Brown Holds that Tribes Are
Not Responsible for Members
LRwlessness.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 1.-THE United
states supreme court today decided two
cases involving the question Of RESPONSE
bility OF an entire tribe OF Indians for
depredations committed by organized bands
composed of members Of the tribe, holding
that in such case there is no liability. One
Of these cases was that of Montoya. and
involved responsibility for the operations Of
Victories band Of Apaches. and another
that Of Connors, involving the depreciation
OF Dull Knife's band OF Cheyennes, both
occurring fifteen or twenty years ago. the
first in New Mexico and the other in Kansas
and Nebraska. The opinion was handed
down by Justice Brown and held that as
the bands in both cases were strong enough
to break away from their respective tribes
and to defy the United States government
as they did, the tribes as a whole could not
in equity be held responsible for their mis-
deeds.

ANTITRUST BILL HANGS FIRE
judiciary Committee Considers II,
hut Does Not Agree on
Any Report.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 1.-THE antitrust
bill was again under consideration by the
senate judiciary committee today, but no
progress was made toward securing re-
port. A few members of the committee
expressed the opinion, after the close OF
the meeting. that no report would be made
during the present session Of congress. The
bill as passed by the house is satisfactory
neither to the republican senators nor the
opposition. The latter element has. how
ever, proposed that the bill be reported
as IL passed the house with a view of get
ting 1t before the senate and there attempt
ing to amend it, but the republican SEN
ators have taken the position that the bill
should be perfected in committee.
The committee has practically agreed
upon amendments exemptins labor organ
izations from the operations OF the law. but
has made no other important changes.
