Panama. the new republic is remarkable
Tor two things-the wide open nature of
Its towns and the mixed character of its
population. which ranges through all shades
of color from pallid white to jet black
Panama and Colon are the most cosmo-
politan cities unde the sun. and also the
most lawless. Negroes, mulattoes, Indians,
Chinese. Syrians and every race of Euro
peans and Americans meet there and blend
into all kinds of crosses and half-breeds.
Panama's chinatown" is considerably
larger than New Yorks.
Talk about wide-open towns" said a
man who knows the Isthmus well, there
were never towns wider open than Colon
and Panama, especially during the canal
boom and the early days of the revolution.
Men gambled In the public streets. Ia
bles used to be brought out of the gambling
halls on hot nights and placed on the piaz-
zas fronting on the chief thoroughfares.
You would see men gambling there by the
Hight Of a dim hurricane lamp. with piles Of
gold and notes before them. and ragged lit
tie Indian boys looking on In open mouthed
wonder.
Then. suddenly. some loser would jump
up with an oath. knock over the lamp, and
begin shooting his gun right and left. The
table would upset and while the Indian
boys scrambled for the scattered gold, those
of us who valued our skins would dive for
cover"
The Autocratic Soldier.
Under the old dispensation the soldier was
absolute king on the isthmus in time of war,
and even In time of peace he could do
pretty well as he pleased. Some years ago
an incident occurred in Panama which
caused a great deal of excitement and COM
ment
soldier, while on duty guarding the con-
victs in the chain gang, was annoyed by a
woman who persisted In asking him ques
tons. He lifted his rifle and shot her dead.
1t happened on busy street, and the bullet
passed through another woman In the line
of fire and broke the leg of third. The
second woman also died, and the leg of the
third had to be amputated.
But this is not the remarkable part of
the story. What aroused comment was the
fact that the soldier was actually brought
to justice and condemned to thirty days
imprisonment In the common jail.
According to Colombia law there is no
capital punishment, though men are often
shot by court-martial The maximum legal
punishment is ten years Imprisonment,
even If man kills half a township.
1T Is isthmian experience" said an
American who lived many years in Pan
anna, that the only individuals who ever
get the maximum punishment for murder
are foreigners. ] remember one case where
jamaican murdered a woman and re-
ceived full sentence under the law. During
my long residence there l never knew a
native of the country to receive It,
ION the other hand. l know many cases
where the Colombian authorities have sent
Americans, Englishmen and other foreign
ers to Jail for several years for petty
frauds. and other cases where foreigners
have been Imprisoned for months without
any Charge-let alone any evidence-beng
brought against them. The jails are so
filthy and insanitary that Imprisonment
