PANAMA CANAL
TREATY IS DEAD
colombia Failed to Ratify 1t Within
Time Limit
ZIP TO PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT

washington, Sept. 2S.-The Panama
canal treaty with Colombia is consid-
cred dead at the state department.
rbe time limit for exchanging ratih-
cations expired yesterday. A report is
current that the Colombian congress
IN secret session has clothed Presi-
dent Marroquin with full power to ne
gotate a treaty. If this report should
tvrp out to be true, President Mario
orip who is counted a friend Of the
sfree4y. could proceed untrammelleo
bv the fear Of future reckoning with
his congress. In any event, President
roosevelt must now take the next
stem. He can elect to proceed un1er
the Spooner act and take up the Mica
raeua route or he can allow matters
10 drift for the present in the nope
that a sway may yet be found TO
straighten out the present difficulties
in the path of the Panama route.
Colombia, it is known, is anxious 10
keen alive the canal negotiations. What
form her new proposition with that OBJ
iect in view will take is not known in
washington. One interesting feature n
connection with the legislative situa-
ti6,a in Colombia is the fact that the
~ is of one-third of the members OF
tRs senate, numbering nine, will eY-
pire on the goth of next July, when the
life of the present congress ends.
These nine senators, it is said, are ad-
verse to the canal treaty. The hope
of the advocates of the treaty will be
to elect senators in their places who
are favorable to the convention. 1t is
expected that the campaign for tne
legislatures will be made on this issue

An EDIaemIo Of ProdignlIty.

1t seems to cost a great deal to live
nowadays. Most persons notice it, es'
pecially persons who are hard put to II
to find the money to pay their bills.
The statisticlans report that cOmmodi-
ties in general use cost on an average
about 10 per cent more than they did
last year. The rise In the price Of meat
contributes Il good deal to this ad-
vance. though breadstuffs have been
high too. Articles Of luxury, like good
clothes and country houses. have grown
dearer in proportion than most articles
Of necessity because the huge influx OF
money that the country has sustained
has made brisk market for luxuries
Rents are higher. houses cost more
servants get higher wages, board is
higher at resort hotels. The living ex'
penses Of any given family are very
much affected by the expenses Of Other
families Of their acquaintance. and the
scale Of living Of 'ether families

SANDER Case For $4,000 Damages De-
cded by Jury.

cided by Jury.
p Beaver. Pa, Sept. 22.-The slander
suit brought against John Wanamaker
by former State Printer Robinson for
S25. 900 damages has ended in yerdict
for the defendant. The sealed verdict
was read in court and found for the
defendant.
Before the verdict was read Judge j..
sharpe Wilson called the jurors and
said that inasmuch as one OF their
number had been sick and there were
only eleven. he would have to have,
befort the verdict was read, a signed
statement from the attorneys that they
we're satisfied with the result. This
was given, and the verdict was opened
and read.
Judge Wilson made a correction In
its wording. It had read that the jury
fnds Mr.. Wanamaker not guilty and
the fudge changed thiss to read: The
Jury finds for the defendant" to CON
form with the legal requirement. The
Jury Of II men was then dismissed
and court settled down to local busi'
ness.
