r.. Faust gets all he asks from the de-
fendant in seven damage cases he has
begun in the district court because, as
he alleges, his life has been blighted
by their actions, he will be wealthy
man. He has begun suit against sev-
en- different persons and corporations,
asking $4,000 from each, or total OF
335O,OOO. He claims that because of
q judgment he obtained in the Story
court against railway company,
that the company, through its attor-
neys, detectives, etc., had his barn
burned and then arrested him for ar.
son, preventing him from getting the
insurance and also landing him in the
penitentiary. When he was released
from the penitentiary he was relent-
lessly pursued by his enemies, who
had him incarcerated in an insane
asylum at Toledo Ohio. He claims
Detective Waters threatened to shoot
him, in an attempt to make him con-
fess the burning of his barn, and De-
tective Riley tried to throw him out OF
the court house window. Because Of
these threats Faust claims he was un-
able to testify at his trial to the facts
because of intimidation, and that his
unjust and wrongful conviction fol-

NOT UNQUALIFIED ACCEPTANCE
DOES NOT CLOSE NEGOTIATIONS,
BUT WILL CAUSE DELAY IN
ADJUSTMENT.
NEW TOPICS FOR ARGUMENT
PRICE TO BE PAID eY UNITED
oTATES IS NOT SATlS-
FACTORY. .

Washington, Oct. 29-The long ex-
pected response OF the Colombian gov
ernment to the proposition of the state
department for the negotiation of q
canal treaty, in accordance with the
Spooner act, has reached Washington
and was presented to the state depart
ment yesterday by Mr.. Heron, secre-
tary for the Colombian legation. It
II impossible to learn the nature OF
this communication. but it Is known
that it is not altogether an unqualified
acceptance Of the state department's
propositions. It 10, however, friendly
and dignifed in tone and does not
close the negotiations by any means,
although 1t unquestionably sets back
the date of final adjustment by open
ing new topics for argument. For one
thing the Colombian government f.
now entirely dissatisfied with the sale
amount of the Panama to be made to
II by the United States under the
terms Of the protocol, which it is pro-
posed to use as the basis for the
treaty. This sum is $7,000,000. Co.
lombia wants at least $1000O,000.
Moreover, the original proposal looked
to q wait for fourteen years before be-
ginning the payment Of annual rental.
the amount Of which was to be then
Fixed by Mutual Agreement.
Colombia now asks the United
States to agree on a lump yearly pay
ment of 100000. which will increase
the immediate cost of the enterprise.
The Colombian government clings to
its contention that it has no constitu-
tional authority to ALLEVIATE any Co
lombian territory and reiterates that
the best it can do to meet the language
of the Spooner act, which looks to
perpetual control by the United States
over the canal strip is to make q 100
year lease with a distinct stipulation
that the same shall be renewable by
the United States at the expiration OF
the first century.
One obstacle which it is believed
will interfere some with the resump-
ton of negotiations of the treaty is
the antagonism aroused in Colombia
by the conduct Of American naval Of
hcers during the revolutionary move
ments there. These are declared to
have been bitterly resented in Bogota,
where it was felt the American off,
GERS had exceeded their authority In
interfering with the transporting OF
Colombian soldiers across the 18TH
mus railways right which the Co.
0mbian officials have asserted Is
guaranteed them by the treaty.

Milwaukee Man 10 Sentenced for De-
ceivinQ Smokers.
Milwaukee, Oct. 20. - Philip Neid-
hofer, who was restrained by an order
of court from putting union labels on
non-union cigars last spring, was yes
terday sentenced to pay $25 and costs
or to serve forty days in Jail. He was
found guilty of contempt of court.
From the testimony it was shown that
Neidhofer had purchased cheap cigars
from Pennsylvania manufacturers and
that he then pasted the union label
upon the boxes and sold the cigars as
union-made goods. When the suit was
first brought against Neidhofer he was
restrained from doing this, but it
seems that he disobeyed the order OF
the court and the local union accord
ingly again commenced proceedings
against him.
