WANT MORE MONEY.
Rejection of Canal Treaty Matter ct
Dollars. Not Patriotism.


Dollars, Not Patriotism.
Washington, Sept. S.-The Panama
Canal company has notified this gov
eminent that 1t has rejected the efforts
OF the Colombian authorities To ar
range deal by which part of the $40.
, 100000 to be paid to the company for
its properties by the United States, II
the canal treaty is ratified, will be
handed over to Colombia.
This course of the company meets
with the approval of the United States
government, which has insisted tnat
any attempt to amend the canal treaty
by the insertion Of a provision requir-
ing the Panama company to divide
with Colombia would be distasteful to
Washington's administration A nCt.-
fication to that effect was given to
Colombia while the treaty was under
consideration at Bogota.
The statement that Colombia has
been trying to get money out Of the
canal company. conditional of course,
on the ratification of the treaty, is re-
garded by sol1e of the leading officials
as
Confirming the Vitw
that the rejection of the canal treaty
was matter of dollars and not Of
patriotism. .....
Considerable Indignation is ex-
pressed in official circles over this as
pect of the treaty negotiations. 1t is
claimed by those who are thoroughly
familiar with what has been going on
at Bogota that the treaty could haze
been ratified if there had been more
money in sight. Reports have been
current here that the rejection of the
treaty by the Colombian congress was
due mainly to an ultimatum presented
by United States Minister Beaupre
which was construed as in the nature
of threat 1t was learned last night
that the state department has directed
Mr.. Beaupre to inform the Colombian
government that the rejection or vital
amendment of the treaty would be at
tended by regretable consequences.
Colombians are now claiming that this
was yelled threat against their ma
ton, which
Pride Compelled Them
to counteract in as marked manner as
possible, and this they did by rejecting
the treaty. This statement is scorned
by officials here, who maintain that,
having rejected the treaty, the Colon
bians found that they made great
mistake and that they are now seek
ing to justify their conduct by max.
ing it appear that the United States
aroused a feeling of resentment by
adopting measures of coercion. 1t is
asserted here that there was not the
slightest intention on the part of this
government to threaten Colombia. On
the contrary, it is explained that the
note presented by Mr.. Beaupre, which
the Colombiaus now claif to have
found Objectionable and even insult
ing, meant that If the treaty was re-
jected or amended in such way as to
make impossible the acceptance of the
amendment by the United State, this
government, no less than Colombia,
would greatly regret such an outcome.

Pelham, N H., Sept. S.-Through
head-c- collision yesterday between
two electric cars, each running, 1t is
said at a rate of more than twenty
miles an hour, four persons were killed
and nineteen so seriously injured
that they are under physicians care
and several of these are expected TO
die As there we're seventy passen-
gers On the two cars, many others re-
ceived cuts and minor wounds which
did not prevent their going to their
homes. The accident occurred on the
line which runs through this town be-
tween Lowell and Nashua, and one OF
the cars, which was coming from the
latter city, was nearly filled with
people on their way to summer re-
sort. ..
The collision was due, according to
the officials of the road, to misunder-
standing of the starters orders by the
motorman of the car bound for Nash
ua. The car starter endeayored to
rectify this mistake by sending a man
TO shut off the power and trying to re-
call the Nashua-bound car, but it
failed.
No Time to Escape.
The cars met on the curve, neither
motorman seeing the approaching car
until too late to avoid a collision.
Neither was there time for the passen-
gers to escape by jumping, when the
cars came together with force that
threw the west.bound car directly
upon the forward part Of the other.

Persons who witnessed the collision
stated afterB ard that it came so unex-
pectedly that it seemed some minutes
before the passengers realized what
had happened. All were silent, and the
passengers made no cutlery, appear
ing dazed by the shock.
Not one of the passengers on the
two cars escaped injury of some char
acter, although a number we're not
seriously hurt.
