GEN. SAN TOS HAD A VERY GOOD REASON Explanation of Why He Did Not
 Attend Conference. COLOMBIA HAD SCHEMES Government Proposed Limiting the conferees to Acceptance of the
 Decree of Amnesty--Santos

COLOMBIA HAD SCHEMES

San Jose, Costa Rica, November 9.-The reason why General Vargas Santos, mili- tary director of the Colombian revolution, did not go to Panama to attend the con ference arranged to take place today on board the United States battleship Wis consih in the Panama harbor between representatives of the Colombian govern ment and the revolutionists, is because the government of Colombia, according to advices received here, intended to limit the subject of the conference to the ac- ceptance of the decree of amnesty re- gently promulgated by the President of Colombia, Senor Marroquin. General San to Domingo arrived here last month bear ing peace proposals from the Colombian government to General Vargas Santos. He said the purpose of his government in calling the peace conference was to establish an effective and lasting peace, which would harmonize the interests of the several political parties concerned in the revolution. The matter was discussed between General Vargas Santos and the Colombian representatives, who ex- changed number of cablegrams with the Colombian authorities at Panama with the result that General Vargas Santos accepted the proposals made by General santo Domingo and promised to attend the conference at Panama with Generals Perdomo and Salazar of the Colombian government, and General Herrera of the revolutionists.
 Limited conferees.
 At this point of the negotiations Gen eral Vargas Santos received advices to the effect that notwithstanding the pro posals of the Colombian government, made through Its representative here, Colombia purposed limiting the con- ferees to the acceptance of the decree of amnesty. General Vargas Santos there upon refused to accept such proposi- tion and decided to withdraw from the conference, which, he says, he considers futile.
 At the same time the military director of the Colombian revolution learned that the Colombian government had issued or ders to General Tovar to imprison the revolutionary general. Uribe- Uribe, and sentence him to death without mercy. This order was given in spite Of General Uribe- Uribe's equalization to the govern ment forces which occurred at Rio Brio, Colombia last month. The receipt of this news, which is considered in Colombian revolutionary circles here to be shame full violation of public faith, further de- cided General Vargas Santos not to at- tend the peace conference at Panama and he issued orders to the Colombian revolutionary army to continue It's war fare.
 General Vargas Santos declares he is willing to make peace providing that the

That Passes BrfOrc the Dar ON

A young man with cold face, much
nervous energy, and a tired-oi.the.

You look at him and order your

You know what you think Of him,
and you think you know what he

You, Mr.. Reader, have seen all these

Why did you see them? What reason

At the far end OF the bar there Is the
man who comes in slowly and passes
his hand over his face nervously. The
bartender asks no questions, bu,
pushes out bottle OF everyday whisky
and a SMALL glass OF water.
The whisky goes down. A shiver fol-
lows the whisky and very little OF the
water follows the shi,er. The man
goes out with his arms close to his
sides, his gait shufiling, and his head
hanging.
II has taken him less than three min
utes to buy, swallow and pay for lib
eral dose OF poison.

Rive men come in together. Each

Each thinks tina, he is hospitablc.
But the bartender knows that those

Each OF those men might perhaps
take his glass OF beer. or even some.

Out goes the young man with the
cocktail inside OF him.
And the bartender knows that that
young man. with his fine rcasonings
and his belief in himself. is the con
frmed drunkard of fyearnf,er next. He
has seen the beginning OF many such
cocktail philosophers, and the ending
of the same.
The way not TO be drunkard is
never to taste spirits. The bartender
knows that. But his customers do not
know IT..

At another hour of the day there
comes IN the older man. This one is
the frcsh.facrd, young oldish man.
He has small gray side whiskers. He
shows several peop,e--whom he does
not know--his book OF communication

lie changes his mind suddenly from
whisky to lemonade. The bartender
prepares the lemon slowly. and the
man changes his mind back to whisky.
Then he tries to look more dignificd
than the two younger men with him.
In the midst Of the effort he begins to
sing "The Heart Bowed Down with
Weight Of Woe" and he tells the bar
tender ",ha, Is from "Thc Bohemian
Girl"
He sings many other selections, oc-
cnsionally forgetting his dignity, and
occasionally remembering that he Is

The wise man on the outside OF the
bar suggests that the oldish man will
get into trouble. But the bartender
says:
mo, he will go home all right. But
he won, sing all the way there. About
the time he gets home he'll realize
what money he has spent, and you
would not like to be his wife. 1t won;

| agent of the Delaware, Lackawanna
| and Western company, was called Ia
show that the Courier Herald, official
| organ of the Central Labor union of
Wilkes Barre. which printed boycott
lists, has as one of its proprietors,
Charles Thane, who is a member of the
United Mine Workers, and who was
an organizer for the union. Objection
was made by Mr.. Darrow, and Presi-
dent Mitchell protested that the United
Mine Workers had no control over or
connection with the paper.
Mr.. Lenahan called attention to the
fact that at the head Of the Courier
Herald is printed "Owned by the Cen
tral Labor union; that the United
Mine Workers is one of the organiza-
tions allied with the Central Labor
union, and that, although Mr.. Mitchell
lived in Wilkes-Barre many months,
not far from the office of the Courier
Herald, he never repudiated the dec
laration of the paper that it was owned
by an organization of which his union
was part.
Mr.. Lenahan also wanted to show
that National Board Member Fallon,
of the United Mine Workers, made ef-
forts to get bail for Editor Thane, when
he was arrested for criminal libel by
some OF the boycotted parties, but
Judge Gray refused to accept the tes-
timony, because it did not bring re-
sponsibility home to the United Mine
Workers.
Mr.. Lenahan read from the Courier
Herald list of the "We Don't Patron

gested Judge Gray, they don't patron

while he was watching from his up

something into his house through an
open window in the lower part of the
house. He rushed down, and, on the
floor of bed room, where some OF his
children were asleep, found bottle Of
powder with lighted squib inserted
in its neck. He extinguished the squib
and preserved the bottle.
The Bottle Exhibited.
Special Officer Il. V. Lewis exhibited
the 'bottle." IT was of quart cap
