N. LABORI ACCUSES
WhLDECK-ROUSSEAU
Premier Charged With Cor
ruptiOn in Humbert Case.
BIRTH CERTIFICATE FALSE
Madam Therese Interrupts Her Counsel,
Who Demands That She
Be Silenced.
BIRTH CERTIFICATE FALSE

PARIS. aug. 21.-Maitre Labori con-
cluded his argument in behalf of the
Humberts this Nmorning by declaring
that no dishonesty had been proven, and
that money enough remains to dis
charge all their debts and still leave a
surplus.
The only real accuser, he continued,
was the notorious insurer rCatiani, who
was seeking personal vengeance. The
condemnation of the prisoners would
serve no judicial. political, or moral in
terest. he said
Labori charged former Premier Wal
deck Rousseau. and the members OF the
present cabinet. with corruption In con-
nection with the case. He said the pub
lie prosecutor had been chosen because
he was known to be hostile 20 the Hum
berts-
The prosecutor here protested against
Labori's attacks. A duel OF words fol-
lowed. Labori maintaining the liberty OF
speech. The judge finally intervened, and
restored order.
Labori threw the first light on the
mystery by saying that the birth GER
tificate of Madam Therese Humbert
produced by the prosecution in court
was not the real one. Madam Therese
was nervous, and continually interrupted
her counsel, correcting him. Labori
finally imperiously demanded that she
be kept silent.

STATE DEPARTMENT
WANTS PANAMA NEWS
Press Dispatches Usually Arrive Be-
fore Government Messages.

Dispatches have been sent by the State
Department to Minister Beaupre at Bo-
gotta asking for some definite informa-
tion concerning TIC Panama Canal ne
gotiations.
All messages received here so far by
the department have been delayed so
long tina. the news contained IN them
was announced through the press before
the State Department officials received it
It Is not uncommon for the department
TO receive dispatches on the same day
which were started from Bogota several
days apart. This delay is attributed TO
the poor telegraph connections between
Buenaventura and Bogota.
An unofficial dispatch from Bogota re
ceived in Washington announces that
Foreign Minister Rico recently offered
his resignation TO President MarroQuin,
who refused to accept 1t. No dispatches
have been received today which show
any change in the canal negotiations,
and it viii probably be several days be-
fore the State Department will receive
Z reply to its appeal to Minister Beau
pre- for additional information concern

ALL PROTESTS IGNORED

Judge Thomas Ryan. of Kansas, AS

stirred up a political hornets nest by
an appointment made public today.
Judge Ryan is chairman of the Alaskan

Republican politicians have been pro-
testing strenuously against the appoint
ment. an intimation of which leaked out
in advance. The protestants were led
by ex-senator Carter, OF Montana,
chairman of the Government board OF
exposition commissioners. But all to no
avail
Judge Ryan is in Yellowstone Park.
and sent word of the appointment from
there to Secretary Hitchcock. He can
not be reached, and. although Secretary
Hitchcock is said 10 be displeased, the
appointment viii have to stand, as Sec
retary Hitchcock himself gave Judge

DR.. LINCOLN'S LIBRARY
GIVEN TO COLUMBIAN
University Receives Valuable Col
lection of Works on Medicine.

An exceedingly valuable collection OF
medical books has been presented to
the Medical Library of Columbian Uni
versity by Mrs. y. S. Lincoln. The col
lection, which numbers about 1900
volumes, represents the bulk of the
library of the late DR.. n. s. Lincoln.
and contains works upon many branches
of medicine and surgery.
Because of the fact that the library
of the Columbian Medical School is not
large, the handsome gift of Mrs. Lincoln
was especially welcome TO the university,
and Librarian Rudd has expressed the
greatest pleasure at having it. Through
the kindness of Mrs. Lincoln the medical
school has profited to an extent not at
for several years without out
side aid.
A few of DR.. Lincoln's books which
were not included in Mrs. Lincoln's gift,
TO Columbian University. were presented
by her TO friends.
