Marroquin Not Popular.


Panama, Nov. 16.-President D4ar-
roquins statement, as conveyed in a
cablegram to General Plaza, president
of Eucador, that General Reyes, Ca
balleros, Ospina and HOlguin are now
marching on the isthmus to suppress
the isthmian traitors" has set the en-
tire population of the isthmus laugh
ing. Protected by the impenetrability
of the land and the many leagues of
coast line separating the isthmus from
Colombia and confident that the Un4.-
ed States intends to prevent the land
ing of Colombian soldiers from the
sea- the isthmians feel that their Sc
curity is absolute.
The loss of the isthmian territory
is, of course, a tragedy for Colon
bia. The government at Bogola is
probably ignorant of the attitude taken
by the United States government dur
ing the last two weeks. In a frenzy
to save it's face" to appease an angry
and disappointed populace and to sat
isfy the public demand for some ap-
pearance of activity and an attempt to
save the honor and the territorial in
tegrity of Colombia, the government
is no doubt promising and threatening
to send forces to the coast and to take
other aggressive steps. The realiza-
ton by Colombia of the impOssibility
of sending troops to the isthmus would
not necessarily deter it from taking
these steps, which, as already stated
are intended merely to satisfy the PEG
pie. Well informed people on the 18th
mus believe that the Colombian gov
eminent is going through all these
forms of organizing expeditions no
merely for the foregoing reasons, bu
owing to the necessity Of fOrestallint
or of weakening the threatened revolu
tiOnary outbreak in Bogota.
The growing feeling against Presi
dent Marroquin is believed to be du'
to the fact that he did not show sui
ficient determination to effect the rati
fication of the canal treaty, whicl
would have saved the isthmus to Co
lombia, and because he appointed Gen
eral Obaldia governor of the depart
ment of Panama after Obaldia had de
clared that he would remain a Colon
bian if the treaty we're ratified, bu
that otherwise he would only be
Panamaian. General Obaldia was Dor
in Chiriqui in the state of Panama
Mariners and others familiar with tn
coast on both sides of the isthmus de
clare that any attempt to march a
expeditionary army from any part {
Colombia to the isthmus would b
futile. Both coasts consist of impai
sable junges and swamps and river
without towns or roads or any mean
for the provisioning of an army. TIL
members of the junta have not tn
slightest fear that any such expeditiO
will be attempted, and they receive tn
reports of such expeditions with equal
unity.
What is described here in Panam
as the UNITED States broad interpr
tation of the clause Of the treaty {
1916, regarding the protection OF ira
fic across the isthmus," is deemed an
pie for preventing transportation {
troops by sea and consequent hostil
ties.

which arrived at Dawson at $3.50
o'clock in the afternoon ran oyer and
killed the four year old boy of Mr.. and

The accident occurred at Hodges
mill, and was one of the most heart
rending, as told by the passengers on
the train, which has ever occurred on
the road.
1t seems that the little fellow had
been with his father fishing and start
ed home alone. He had to cross the
railroad, and probably not hearing the
roar of the onrushing train stepped
upon the track just few yards from
the laundering engine. In second
the pilot struck the child and the little
body was mangled under the engine
and cars.

SHREWD STORE THIEVES.
RANDOLPH FORD AND WIFE DETECTED
IN WHOLESALE THEFT.
Their Detection Saturday Led To Finding
OF Many Goods From Dawson Stores.
Ford Had a Concealed Pistol,

The authorities believe that they
have detected two negroes who
have been carrying on a systematic
graft of stealing from the Dawson
merchants, They are Randolph Ford
and his wife, who live several miles
south of Dawson.
The arrest of Ford is due to the
clever work of Mr.. Holcomb Perry,
with McLain Bros. and Co. About
two weeks ago cape was missed from
that store, and as the Ford woman was
the last person seen looking at it she
was suspected as the guilty party.
When MIR. Perry therefore saw Ford
and his wife in town Saturday he kept
his eye on them as they walked up
Main street, and he saw them go into
tailor shop. Soon afterwards he him
self went 20 the shop and found that
Ford had brought in pair of trousers
which were five sizes too large for
him.
Mr.. Perry came to the conclusion at
once that they had been stolen, and
accordingly made inquiry among the
merchants about them. 1t was found
that they came from the store of j. w.
F. LOwrey, and no one in there re-
membered selling them to the negro.
Sheriff Christie was called upon and
he Immediately arrested Ford and
lodged him, on the charge of larceny,
in the Terrell! county Jail.
1t was firmly believed that other ar
ticles were in possession of 5he ne
groes, and Sheriff Christie, accom-
panied by Mr.. Perry, rode out to their
house Saturday night for the purpose
of instituting search and arresting
the woman. Although the cape taken
from McLain Brothers was not found
other merchandise was brought to
light. The woman, however, was not
there, and she has not yet been ar
rested.
The officers believe that many other
articles have been hidden by the ne.
grOes which were stolen from Dawson
merchants, and that Ford and his wife
have been carrying on their larcenies
for months.
Dawson merchants have many hum
dred dollars worth of goods stolen
every year by such thieves as the two
who have been detected, and it would
be matter of much satisfaction to
them to see more such thefts brought
to light and the guilty parties pun
ished.
