The John Gund Brewing Co.'S. build.
ing which is undergoing erection near
the railroad, is beginning to show its
proportions. The frame of the main
part is up, and the wings will soon be
added, which will make a marked i'm

high wind of last Monday and Tuesday
was trying on the newly erected franz

to hold it in place. The watchful eye of
supt. Bentson, however, was on his work
and everything is intact and progressing
smoothly.

sensation has been caused by the
publication in the official organ "Dnev-

Many rumors have been put forth as
to the reason for this publication. in
view of the fact that "Dnevnik" enjoys
the entire confidence OF Prince Ferdi-
nand. and is controlled by Minister
Popon. The generally accepted theory is
that the Bulgarian officials authorized
the publication as a threat in order to
let the Sultan understand that it is
dangerous to threaten drastic measures
in so far as Bulgaria is concerned.

Whereas effort pursuant to the pro-

been male in many States TO obtain a

Whereas interests opposed have thus

the State of New York. which. in viola
tion of an overwhelming public senti-
ment. has failed at the dictation of State
and Federal Republican leaders TO adopt
resolution demanding the submission
OF a proposed amendment TO the States;
now, therefore be it
Resolved by this Democratic State
convention, That the next call for a
Democratic State convention for the
nomination of candidates for State Off

HERRAN HAS No NEWS
OF CANAL TREATY
DiscreditS Report OfPanama
Men Leaving Congress.
WOULD BE A MISFORTUNE
Might Indicate Beginning of Revolution
On Isthmus-No Advices Received
Here From Minister Beaupre.

DIR. Herran. the Colombian charge.
does not credit the dispatches from
Panama stating that all the Panama
members of the Colombian congress
have left Bogota. Last night DR.. Her
ran had dispatch from his government
in which no mention of the canal treaty
was made. This dispatch was dated
August %. four days later than the
Panama members are supposed to have
walked out of congress. If it were true
that the isthmian delegation had left
Bogota DR.. Herran thinks il impossible
that his government should have failed
to notify him of such action.
Blow to the Canal
The withdrawal of the Panama dele
cation would indicate a serious break
in the canal supporters. as several of
the most influential friends OF the treaty
are from the isthmus. In DR.. Herran :
opinion the withdrawal OF these men
would be a terrible blow to the canal
and a movement OF such importanc- that
it would be reliably reported from Bo-
gotta Immediately rather than circulated
no authoritative statement.
Advices have been received in Wash
ington which confirm the rumor Of the
leaving of the Panama members The
State Department has been unable to
obtain any communications from Min
lister Beaupre for several days. how
ever. and officials believe there must lie
something wrong with the telegraph
lines or the cable. Dispatches TO Min
lister Beaupre from the State Depart
ment are unanswered and Secretary Hay
is at a loss to explain the delay.
May Mean Panama's Secession.
Rumors from Panama are to the ef-
feet that the departure of the delega-
tion from Bogota may be the begin
ming of the revolution which is said TO
be on foot for the purpose of establish
ing a separate government on the 18TH
mus and making the immediate con-
struction OF the Panama canal treaty
possible
DR.. Herran has not asked for an ex-
tension of the time for the ratification
Of the treaty, and has no thought OF
making such request until he has addi-
tionaI information from his home gov
ernment.

AGAINST AGE LIMIT
FOR AUTO OPERATORS
Corporation Counsel Duvall
Files Important Opinion.
PLAN LEGAL BUT UNWiSE
Official Declares Strict Enforcement of
Provision Would Not Secure
Best Results.
PLAN LEGAL BUT UNWlSE

Corporation Counsel A B. Duyall sub
mitted his opinion yesterday afternoon
on the right of the Commissioners 10
establish an age limit for automobile
operators. AS exclusively stated IN The
Times of September /, this opinion gives
the Commissioners the authority to
specify an age limit, but they are at
the same time advised not to take ad-
vantage of that authority.
the decision refers to the case OF Lock-
wood ct "a. VS.. the Commissioners Of
the District OF Columbia, wherein an in
junction was sought to prevent the en-
forcement OF the automobile regulations
and the courts refusal OF the Injunction
on the ground that the regulations were
within the authoity of the Commission
ers. and were unobjectionable as to
their legality.
Instructions Asked by Board.
The board of examiners appointed by
the Commissioners has been consider
ing applications from persons desiring to
operate motor vehicles, and has report
ed from time 10 time as to the com
potency of such applicants
In a communication from the board.
the board asks for Instructions as to
the lowest age limit for issuing permits
TO operators OF motor vehicles stating
that IL has refused in two cases 10 ex-
anime two boys. fifteen and sixteen years
OF age, respectively. and one boy four
teen years of age has answered the
questions asked by the board in a salts
factory manner. but no permit has as
yet been made out for him: and the
board Of examiners. replying to a re-
quest for an expression of its opinion
upon the subject. is of the opinion that
no person under eighteen years OF age
should be allowed to operate a motor
vehicle.
Authority Not Questioned.
Il am OF the opinion that the Com
missioners have authority to prescribe
a limitation of age in the matter OF
granting permits to operate automobiles
etc. and that authority may be exer-
cised by a proper amendment to section
]. OF said Article XIV. of the Police
Regulations. 1t may be likewise exer-
cised without such amendment. when and
as the Commissioners pass upon the in
dividual applications.
I'm my judgment. it is not expedient
to amend the regulations for this pur-
pose"
The design OF the regulations is not
10 prohibit the use OF these vehicles.
but to regulate their use with due re-
gard to the rights OF other users of the
public highways.
1T seems to me the competency OF the
operator OF the vehicle is not to be de
termined by any ironclad rule; that
in determining the competency 9f ap-
plicants they should be considered as
units. and not as classes. and that i'm
maturity of age would justify the refusal
of a permit II such immaturity consti-
tuted incompetency TO operate the
vehicle But to adopt the suggestion
OF the board OF examiners and refuse a
permit TO every applicant under eight
cen years of age would manifestly, in
many cases. wrongfully prevent the use
of motor vehicles TO persons who are
quite as competent to operate them as
persons who are over the age indicated.

BELIEVE MILLER CASE
ALMOST At AN END
Interested Persons Await
ing Presidents Decision.
EXPECTED AT ANY HOUR
Fellow w orkmen Believe Chief Execu-
tive Will Seon Take Action
in the Matter.
EXPECTED AT ANY HOUR

President Roosevelt's final decision in
the Miller case had not been received
from Oyster Bay by Public Printer Pal
mer up TO a late hour last night. In
view of the rumor that the President
would surely reach a decision before
Labor Day. and because the charges
brought against Miller have been thor
oughly investigated by Secretary Cor
telyou and Commissioner Garfield, of the
Department OF Commerce and Labor. q
decision is expected here hourly.
Not Probed by Palmer.
Mr.. Palmer said yesterday that the
charge of bigamy against Miller hal
not been taken up by him. intimating
that whatever investigation had been
carried along this line was made by Sec
retary Cortelyou and Mr.. Garfield.
Secretary Cortelyou and Mr.. Garfield
were both in New York yesterday. and 1t
is thought they have made complete
report to the President in regard TO the
Miller case.
Interest at Big Shop.
The Government Printing Ofhce re-
mained open until 4:S0 yesterday. the
usual custom except during July and
August when it closed at o'clock on
Saturdays. News from Oyster Bay was
anxiously awaited until the time of
closing. Miller is reported to be undis-
turbed- by the reports OF an early dis
missal.
Nothing more has come to the Civil
Service Commission in regard to the
Miller case. The matter is entirely in
the hands of the President and should
he dismiss Miller-which il is thought
he will do-there will be no appeal.
