TRAFFIC is NOT IMPEDED.
Belligerents Agree Not to Fight
While Trains Are Passing.

CALL BUREAU, 1406 G STREET, N.
W., WASHINGTON, Nov. N.-Assurances
have been given American naval officers
at Panama and Colon by the Government
and insurgent forces of Colombia that
fighting shall cease while trains are pass
ing. This Information, cabled by Captain
Perry, commanding the battleship Iowa,
is most satisfactory to the administration.
1t is considered important, in view of the
claim advanced by the Colombian author
tiles that they be allowed to transport
Government troops on trains leaving Pan
anna.
Captain Perry has declined to permit
the use of the railroad for this purpose.
The Colombian Government has supported
its claim by inviting attention to the con-
tract under which the Panama Railroad
was constructed. This specifically author
ICES the Government to use it for the
transportation of troops. While admitting
that the right is accorded the Government
by contract, the authorities here insist
that Colombia herself has given to the
United States authority to preserve the
free and uninterrupted transit of the istn-
mus. This necessarily carries with it the
right to prevent the railroad from being
used as a battle-ground. If Government
troops were to use the railroad the in
surgents would be justified in ripping I'D
the tracks to prevent the movement of
their enemy's forces.
Consul General Gudger, at Panama. re-
ports that the Government forces were
generally successful in the fighting He
added that trains were delayed.

EAGER To AVOID
DUTY AS JURORS
Modoc Citizens Fear In
curing Wrath Of
Lynchers.

ALTURAS, Nov. 27.-During the after
noon session of court in the case Of the
people VS.. James w. Brown, the alleged
leader of the Lookout lynchers, Henry
Kober, who was being examined as a
talesman, declared positively that under
no circumstances would he bring in a YER
dict of guilty on purely circumstantial
evidence, especially where the punishment
was death. Kober said that he was OPP
posed to the prosecution Of the lynchers
and his answers to questions indicated
that he was anxious to escape jury duty.
He was challenged by Attorney Post for
the prosecution and excused.
The answers given by all the veniremen
who have been examined up to this time
indicate that they are anxious to avoid
serving on this jury and that they con-
slider it a disagreeable task. Taking into
consideration the excitement and talk the
crime occaSioned and the vivid articles
published in some of the leading dailies
of the State it is almost impossible to find
a man who has not formed an opinion
who is not actually or by pretenSe in SYM
pathy with the lynchers. AS a conse-
quence the prosecution is at disadvant-
age
The fifth man examined this afternoon
was F. S. McElwain- In answer to a
question from counsel for the defendant
he said that he was convinced that Martin
Wilson was murdered at Lookout, Modoc
County, on May 81; that Defendant Brown
was constable and had charge of the
prisoner, and that, therefore, all that
would have to be proved by the prosecu-
ton was that Brown aided and abetted
the murderers of Wilson.
Raker for the defense challenged the
juror on the ground of a state OF mind
prejudicial to the defendant and the chal-
lenge was denied by Sturtevant for. the
people on the ground that the juror did
not understand the question as asked by
counsel for the defense. Under questions
from Sturtevant McElwain. as had the
talesman before him, said that he would
not vote to convict on circumstantial evil
dence The defense here withdrew the
challenge and Sturtevant challenged the
juror for prejudice. McElwain was ex-
cused.
Only three jurors have been chosen since
Monday. Court adjourned tonight until
$50 O clock on Friday morning and the
examination of veniremen will then be
continued.

MEXICO HANDS
OVER MURDERER
Grants the Extradition
Of Slayer Of Yuma
Woman.

PHOENIX, Ariz., Nov. IA message
received to-day by Governor Murphy set
ties finally and amicably question aris-
ing through request for extradition OF
a criminal from Mexico, which for q sea-
son assumed an international character.
There is a treaty between this country
and Mexico authorizing the Governors of
honor acquisitions from the Governors Of
border States in this country without the
necessity Of reference to the Federal Gov
eminent, it's object being to further the
hasty punishment of criminals along the
border. About two years ago GuillermO
Lisalda killed woman in Yuma and fed.
He remained concealed in Arizona until
a couple of months ago, when he was
located in Sonora. Requisition papers
on Governor Yzabel Of that State were
obtained from Governor Murphy, and
Sheriff Livingstone Of Yuma County went
after his man.
Governor YzabeI preferred not to act at
once and submitted the question to the
livingstone VIM reported to the American
Consul in Nogales, and that official to the
State Department, which, through the
American ambassador, presented the
facts to the Mexican Government.
In the meantime LiSalda had set up
claim to Mexican citizenship, saying he
was born there. This for a time put a
different phase on the case, national in its
aspect. Sheriff Livingstone produced evil
dence of the falsity of the prisoners
Governor Yzabel yesterday announced
that he had been instructed 20 deliver
Lisalda to the proper American authori-
ties.
The incident is important as showing,
the intent Of the Mexican Government to
abide strictly by the treaty. the pro-
visions of which are guarantee Of law
and order on the border.

Great Combination to
Make It's Start at
Omaha.

OMAHA, Neb., Nov. IA combination
to control the anchor wire fence business
of the territory west of the Mississippi
River is being formed, with John w.
Gates as It's probable president. The head
quarters of the concern will be in this
city, where it's principal plant will be To-
Gated. 1t will be known as the Western
Anchor Wire Fence Company, but the
amount of its capital stock has not yet
been determined.
The concern has already bought the
large anchor fence plant in this city, two
in Texas and one in Denver, and has an
option on another at Portland, Or. Gates,
who was in the city short time yester-
day, has gone to Denver and Portland to
close deals with other Western concerns.
The new company has secured a con-
tract for 10000 miles of fence on the Santa
Fe system, another for several thousand
miles on the Burlington road and several
other large contracts. By new machinery
now being placed in the factories the
fence will be clamped in the factories and
shipped to it's destination in rolls instead
of being clamped when put up, as is be-
ing done at present.

Prisoner on the Pinzon.

COLON, Nov 27.-An American named
Murphy relates the following story con-
firning the report that the Government
gunboat General Pinzon fired on Porto
Bello: On Monday morning Murphy was
in an open boat bound for Piayadonna
on mining excursion. Besides himself
there were three Chinese and Colombian
negro in the boat, which was commanded
by the colored man. When they were
passing Porto Bello boat containing SOL
diers from the Pinzon, then at anchor off
Porto BelIo, captured Murphy and his
companions. After they had been made
prisoners and while on their way to the
gunboat the General Pinzon fired many
shots at Porto Bello. On arriving on
board the gunboat Murphy learned that
no less than fifty shots had been fired at
Porto Bello. He also says from the gun
boat one or two of the largest houses of
the place could be plainly seen to have
been wrecked. Men from the Pinzon who
went ashore at Porto Bello said the town
was evacuated. Not single Liberal was
to be seen anywhere, all having fed on
the arrival of the Pinzon. Murphy asserts
that explosive bullets were used by the
Liberals. as one bullet brought on board
the Pinzon was subsequently exploded.
Murphy was handed over to the officers
of the United States gunboat Marietta
when the Pinzon returned to Colon.

friends of Young began to look for him,
not believing the reports. They were sur
prised at being unable to find him. They
hoped for the best however, because the
reports could not be substantiated, and
the expert accountants refused to make
a statement.
Shortly after. p. m. Young was seen
at the ladies' entrance of the Louisville
Hotel, on Main street, where he lived with

er" Given Divorce in
Kansas.

MEDICINE LODGE, Kans., Nov. H.
David K. Nation was to-day granted a
divorce from his wife, Mrs. Carrie Ma
ton. 1.-The joint smasher" The court ex-
onerated Mrs. Nation from the charge of
cruelty to her husband and divided the
property. The Medicine Lodge home will
go to Nation and the outlying property to
his former wife.
In reply to questions of the court, Mrs.
Nation said that the reason she fought
the proceedings was that she wished TO
continue to share the pension money
drawn by her husband. Nation, in sup
port of his petition for divorce, cited a
letter from his wife In which she had
denounced him as "hell-bound hypo-
critic" He charged that she did not at
tend to his wants.
Judge Gillett granted the divorce on
the ground of gross neglect of duty.
When Mrs. Nation first started out on
her career of joint smashing a year ago
Nation seemed to be in sympathy with
her raids. But when sic spent all of her
time away from home crusading or serv-
ing sentences in Jail, for destroying prop
erty he went to the home fssdaughtez
