tracing company by Superintendent

ment. Mr.. Boyer requested that he be

Lunch at Oyster Bay.

OYSTER BAY. ". Y. July 7.-sena-
tors Hanna OF Ohio, Kearns of Utah.
and Fairbanks OF Indiana are under
President Roosevelts roof this after
noon.
1t Is expected that all three will de-
part before nightfaII. but in the course
OF the few hours they are at Sycamore
Hill they may make much political hay.
1t is the understanding that the three
senators are here solely to attend the
luncheon that Mrs. Roosevelt Will give
this afternoon. The practical politi-
clans take this statement with a grain
OF salt, however. believing that it would
be impossible for such managers to get
together without oIling up the wheels
OF the machine.
Senator Hanna was accompanied bv
Mrs. Hanna and Miss Phelps. and came
on the yacht Alvlna as the guest
OF Mr.. and Mrs. Clement A. Griscom.

Him to Inspect.

Excitement was high among employees
in the Office of the Register of Wills
yesterday when II was discovered that
most important documents had been
taken out OF the Office without au-
thority.

Registers office on Friday last. while
all the employees were very busy. Their
absence was not noticed until yester-
day morning. when discovered by Regis
ter Dent
Allowed to Inspect Papers.
An investigation was Immediately be-
gun II was learned that on Friday a
person who is supposed to have an in
terest in the estate disposed Of by the
wills visited the Registers office and
asked permission to inspect them. The
documents were handed him by Dr. Grif-
fifth. Deputy Register. In the rush o.
work nothing more was thought OF the
matter until the wills were missed from
the files.

fth's statement. reported the matter to
CNRNNiAA ASOoA Oh detectives.

ments have not yet been recovered He

recover the missing documents, but also
apprehend the person who abstracted
them

William Nelson Cromwell, president
OF the Panama Canal Company, was at
the State Department this morning and
had long conference with Acting Sec
retary Loomis with regard to the canal
situation in Bogota, where the Colombia
congress has the Hay Herran convention
under consideration.
While Mr.. CromwelPs advices could
hardly be called definite. so far as any
assurance Of favorable action is con-
cerned. they nevertheless tend TO cause
him to believe that the treaty will final
ly be ratified. Mr.. Cromwell is, however
somewhat concerned lest the matter may
not be disposed of before the expiration

Now Has Right of Way.

During the extra session the President
may dictate what matters shall be con-
sidered. and has already asked the con-
gress TO take UP the treaty, which IT has
done. But should the question remain
undisposed OF on July 20, and go over
into the regular session, II Will then
have to follow the usual course, be re-
ferred to committees and taken up again
whenever there is a favorable opportun-
ity Now II has the right of way and
cannot be sidetracked by any other mat
the regular session, when it will not be
the special order.
Mr. Cromwell's advices state that the
matter was to have been reported to the
Colombian senate from committee on
July 4 and that the discussion was to
begin in that body on July 6. This will
give about two weeks for debate before
the expiration of the extraordinary ses-
sion. and Mr.. Cromwell hopes that ac-
tion may be had before that time.
Bound to Ratify.
There are three points in the case
which Mr.. Cromwell believes bind the
Colombian government to ratify the
treaty permitting the United States to
complete the construction OF the water
way. In the first place. the Colombian
government made the proffer of a treaty
TO this Goyernment-that is, it took the
initiative In the matter; in the second
place. the Colombian government gave
it's consent to the Panama Company to
sell its property. franchises. and hold
ings to the United States. a privilege
which was forbidden by the original
terms OF concession to the French com
pany; and thirdly, IL gave It's consent to
the United States to make the purchase
OF the canal property.
These concessions. Mr.. Cromwell be-
iieves. bind the Colombians to ratify
the treaty, and will in the end oblige
the reluctant Colombian statesmen to
yield their objections and permit the
convention TO be ratified
