MYSTERIOUSLY WOUNDED
AND REFUSES TO TALK
West Virginia Man Seriously Injured
by Bullet Through Breast-Wife May
Have Committed Deed.

PETERSBURG, W. Va. Oct. 25.-W. B
Harley, general manager of the Manfat-
tan Club. the leading local social organi-
cation. is dying from bullet wound
through the breast. He utterly refuses
to make statement Of how he received
the wound, and the affair is shrouded in
myst cry.
Harley was shot at his home about
o'clock this morning. He had Just re-
turned from the club. First reports were
to the effect that he was shot by bis
wife, with whom he had not been on the
best Of terms.
He told the police he would tell them
nothing of the affair. but when pressed
said it was an accident.
He was shot through the left lung
with .32-caliber ball. The wound is In
such a position that physicians do not
believe it could have been self-inficted.
Harley is well known, and has always
borne good reputation. The police and
his friends are utterly at loss to ac-
count for his present condition. They
have taken up ever clue.
Mrs. Harley will rot talk.

MAJOR EVANS FOUND
NOT GUILTY OF MURDER
Death of Captain Griffin Due
to Accident.

COLUMBIA, S. c., Oct. 25--The jury
in the case of Major Evans. charged
with the murder of Captain Griffin, took
just five minutes to find verdict of not
guilty after going to its room today.
Judge Crawford. for the defense, par
TALLY disregarded Evans testimony to
account for the absence of powder burns
on the shirt and the burns on Griffin s
hands.
The theory of accident was pressed.
Evans. seeing Griffin with pistol
pointed at his (Grifin's) head, snatched
1t out of his hands. and in the action
the weapon was discharged.
The solicitor argued it was not for
the State to show motive, but de-
tailed testimony to show that Griffin had
money on his person when he went to
Evans room, and none when the body
was found
The jury considered that neither mo-
tive nor crime was proved.

passage Of The Spooner amendment.

from the terms of the protocol. the rep
| rese1tativcs of the two governments
| upon whom the work of negotiating the
convention falle have come to know lust
about what the formal treaty must con-
tain. But nothing has as yet been done
toward putting on paper the formal pro-
visions of the treaty which will give to
the Gait ID States lease in perpetuity
of the strip of land across the Isthmus
of Panama, necessary for the construc-
tion of the giant waterway"
1t was even intimated at the legation
last night that the present bitter feel
ing in Colombia resulting from the ac-
tion of the commanding officer of the
United States naval forces in taking over
control of the isthmus from the Colom-
bian authorities may delay TO an in
definite period even the beginning of
negotiations looking to the construction
of the canal.
This statement is directly contrary TO

positive Information can be obtained on
he subject, il has been understood that
negotiations for the formal treaty have
that there had been considerable irri-
tation shown by the officials here over
the siOwness with which the Colombian
government was proceeding in the mat
ter. Furthermore, assurances have been
given that the report of Attorney Gen
eral Knox, on the validity of the canal
company's title. would not be made pub
lie until the treaty with Colombia had
actually been completed. signed. and de-
livered
Whether the publication of the re-
