PROTEST FROM sALAzAR
Concerning the Landing Of Marines
on the Isthmus.


on the Isthmus.
Washington, Sept. z6.-In regard to the
protest against the landing OF American
marines on the Isthmus made to Com
mander Mclean OF the Cincinnati, by
Governor salazar of Panama. on the
ground that the Colombian government
has ample forces TO protect the lives and
property of foreigners It is pointed out
here that the governors argument takes
in only one-half of the main treaty obli-
cations with regard to the isthmus as
sumed in the convention Of New Granada
signed in 1876 by the United States and
Colombia. The dominant factor which
Influenced the landing Of the marines
was the obligation which the United
States took upen itself by the treaty OF
1916 in these words:
The United States guarantees posi-
lively and eTicaciously to New Grenada
by the present stipulation the perfect
neutrality Of the before mentioned 18th
mus with the view that the free transit
from the one 10 the other sea may not
he Interrupted or embarrassed in any
future time while this treaty exists"
Furthermore in respect to the COVER
ror's reported declaration that he con-
sidered the landing of the United States
naval forces an attempt to assume the
sovereignty Of Colombia attention is di-
rected to this declaration in the same
paragraph OF the treaty:
The United States also guarantees the
right Of sovereignty and property which
New Granada has and possesses over the
sid territory"

TERRlLL CASE AGAIN

Guthrie. O. T.. Sept 26.-There was filed
IN the Office OF the attorney general the
brief and argument made by Attorney
W. II. Asby Of Kansas. IN support Of the
petition Of Ira n TerriH to the supreme
court of Kansas. now pending for his
release from the Kansas penitentiary at
Lansing for the reason that his liberty
is illegally being withheld
Who Nj Asby is. is not known by the
attorney general or his assistant but
they admit the argument is able ard his
brief a strong document Tho supreme
court Of Kansas has notified the attorney
generals OF Kansas and Oklahoma that
they must file rCplys 10 the brief of MT.
Ashby by the 9Th Of October. Ashby has
volunteered his aid TO Tcrrin in order
20 secure his release FROM the peniten-
tiary and also TO invalidate the contract
existing between the warden OF the peni-
tentiary and the governor Of Oklahoma
for the care and maintenance Of the Ok
lahoma convicts in the Kansas peniten-
tiary
Mr. Ashby takes the position that the
state of Kansas under the laws is depriv-
ing Terriu negally Of his liberty; that
the warden Of the penitentiary has only
the right 10 serve the process Of the
Kansas courts. and no right to serve the
process Of the courts Of Oklahoma. that
there IS no authority on the past of the
warden. given him by Kansas to enter
into such a contract for keeping Of the

CALLED OUT MILITIA
Soldiers Mobilizing in Wilkesbarfe
District.
SHERIFF JACOBS ASKS FOR TROOPS
Some Persons Misplaced a Switch
and a Train Load of Coal Was Run
Into the Ditch.

Wilkesbarre, Pa, Special.-In com
pliance with the request Of Sheriff ia
cobs and numerous citizens OF Luzerne
county, Governor Stone issued an or
der at noon Wednesday directing the
Ninth Regiment, National Guard oil
Pennsylvania to mobolize at Wilkes
barre, and three hours after the order
had been received Colonel Dougherty
the commanding officer. had the reg:-
ment, with the exception Of the Hazel
ton companies, ready for the field. The
regiment consists OF II companies and
has a membership Of about $50. There
are cutie a number Of mine workers
in the regiment, but all responded
readily to the call. Colonel Dougherty
says he does not apprehend any Sc
rious trouble. President Mitchell re-
fused to make any comment on Sheriff
Jacobs action in asking the Governor
for troops for the Wyoming region. He
said the presence Of the militia would
not interfere with any Of his plans.
which were to push the strike to a
successful issue. Some Of the Mitchell
lieutenants think the sheriff acted
rather hastily and the bringing OF
troops here was for the purpose Of en-
abling the mine owners to operate
their colleries, but they would be dis
appointed, as the strikers are Is deter
mined as ever.
Sheriff Jacobs, in q statement issued
to the public, explains at length why
he called on the Governor for troops.
He says the outbreaks were becoming
too numerous and with the limited
number of men at his command he
could not cope with the unlawful as
semblics that gathered in various pla-
ces throughout the county.
A Central Railroad of New Jersey
coal train, which was moving out OF a
mine siding at Warrior Run Tuesday
night, was derailed by an open switch,
which had boon tempered with by un-
known parties. The crew escaped by
jumping and the cars were piled up in
a big wreck. The coal which the train
was carrying was intended for the
New York market.
A big crowd OF strikers attempted to
prevent the non-union men employed
at the Exeter colliery, of the Lehlgh
Valley Coal Company at Sturmerv!lle,
from going to work this morning. A
number of deputy sheriffs, in charge o.
Thomas Burket, tried to protect the
workmen. A fight followed, in which
several shots were fred. David Rich
ards, a fire boss, was shot in the leg.
and David Harris and John P. Stroh
were beaten on the head with clubs.
Thos. Burket was also knocked down
with a stone and rendered unconscious.
The coal and iron police finally dis
persed the mob.
