Mr.. WELLER ADDRESSES
WORKINGHEN'S CLUB
Gives Reasons Why Labor Unions
Should Give Support to Work of
Associated Charities.

The Workingmen Club at Epiphany
Chapel, Twelfth and c Streets south
west, was addressed on Tuesday even
ing by Charles +. Weller, the general
secretary Of the Associated Charities.
He said there were two strong reasons
why all self-respect.ng, public-spirited
workingmen should approve and support
the Associated Charities. First, because
It protects and develops the standard of
life in $500 needy families every year;
second, because it expresses and de-
velops IN the most thorOugh-going, prac-
teal ways that brotherhood of man
which was taught by the Carpenter in
Galilee, and has usually found its best
believers among workingmen.
Labor unions, he said, give as their
chief justification the fact that by in
creasing wages and shortening hours
they are helping the wOrkingnen TO live
in better homes, with better food, moro
leisure, and greater opportunities for
culture. Similarly. though by different
the standard of living among people
who generally speaking, have no other
friends who viii protect their interests.

GOVERNMENT WARNED
OF EUROPEAN lNTRIGUES

An important reason exists. it is learn
ed. for the ordering of so many warships
TO the scene. The Administration has
received positive information which
leads it to believe that at least one Eu-
ropean nation is contemplating sending
warships TO the isthmus.
The State Department was aware that
during the whole of the debate in the
Colombian congress the representatives
Of the European nations were doing all
they could 10 prevent the ratification Of
the treaty. Recent copies Of South Amer
lean papers that have arrived here show
how openly they acted.
The treaty having been rejected, IL
was, perhaps. natural for these govern
ments to suppose that the United
States would abandon its interest in
the Panama Canal and turn to Mica
ragua. and misleading Information from
this country has spread that belief IN
Europe
President Roosevelt has been informed
that a syndicate Of French, German.
and English fnanciers has been actually
formed to take over the Panama Canal
Company and complete the canal on the
French plans, which call for an expen-
diture Of only S7O.0O0.0O

REVOLUTION RESULT OF
REJECTION OF TREATY

The rev0lution is the direct result Of
the disappointment Of the Isthmians
at the failure of the Colombian con-
eress h ratify the canal treaty with
the United States The Colombian gov
ernment vas warned. while the treaty
was still under discussion. that its re-
lection would be followed by an upris-
ing. These warnings went to Bogota
from bOth Panama and Washington.
Early IN September DR. Herran. the
Colombian charge d'anaires here. was
waited upon by a delegation Of 18th.

called king OF Panama" He bears
that title because OF the immense In
huence he exerts IN affairs there. He Is
q real boss IS very rich, owns all
the gambling houses. Is proprietor OF
most of the productive enterprises in
Panama, and, IN addition, Is the chief
Law agent Of the Catholic Church there.
Senior Duque told DR.. Herran that
plans had been made for the secession
OF the isthmus in case the canal treaty
failed. aud pointed out the helplessness
OF the government at BOgota should the
revolution be started. DR.. Herran ca
bled the facts TO Bogota and the situa-
non was well understood there, but pol
tiles IN the Colombian congress blinded
The INSTRUMENTATION element TO the
danger and they adjoorned without act

is ARRAIGNED
ON CHARGE OF MURDER
Preliminaries of the Trial Begun in
Criminal Court No. This
Morning.

Thomas M Joyce. alias Yocum Joyce.
negro, was put on trial today In
Criminal Court No. 1. on the charge or
numbering his stepfather Henry /.
Hail. on July last. When the court
convened the work of empaneling a
jury was begun. Under the code the
Government and the defendant have
twenty challenges.
At the first opportunity to challenge
Justice Pritchard informed counsel on
both sides they could challenge alter
nately. and not as was the old custom;
that is. the defendant making four chal-
lenges and the Gov, ulment one. This
rule expedited the work of selecting the
special panel to try the case.
When Joyce was arraigned he pleaded
guilty to the Indictment. The plea was
not accepted. and a plea of not guilty
was entered on the docket.
The fight between Joyce and Han
grew out Of a dispute relative 10 the
sale of some "Old stuff" by Halls wife
Joyce's mother According TO the story
Of the killing, Hall had given his wife
permission to sell the stuff in order
to procure money to go on an excur-
sion. When the articles were sold Han
became angry and wanted to take the
proceeds OF the sale from ms VIC anu
raised objection TO her going on the eX-
cursiOn. 1t is said Hall attacked his
wife. and Joyce, in defense of his
mother, struck Hall on the head with a
club. The blow fractured his skull and
he died almost Immediately. Assistant
District Attorneys Turner and Gordon
appeared for the Government and
George p. Hoover for the defendant.
The following named persons were
chosen a special panel to pass upon tbs
guilt or innocence Of the defendant: Ar.

Frank E. Kirby, George w. Brown

Charles Whitlow, George Z. Murray

DR.. HERRAN NOT ADVISED
OF CONDITIONS ON lSTHMUS

DR.. Herran, the Colombian charge,
has received no news today confirming
any Of the details Of the revolution re-
ported on the Isthmus of Panama He
does not regard this as a remarkable fact
however. In the absence OF official
news DIR. Herran was not disposed 10
make any extended comment but said:
1T is hard 10 determine as yet just
what the status Of affairs now Is. Dis
patches say Panama is in the hands of
the revolutionists, and Colon in the
governments hands. The two best gun
boats. BOgota, on the Pacific. and Car
tagena, on the Atlantic, seem still un-
der control OF the government.
The Bogota Is the gunboat purchased
by me at Seattle about a year ago and
put IN command OF Captain Marmaduke.
well-known American from ST. Louis.
He fulfilled his contract and has now re-
turned 10 the United States.
For some time / have feared there
was serious danger OF a revolution on
the isthmus in case the canal treaty
was defeated. Not a dispatch has gone
to Bogota relative to the canal SUBJ
ject without calling attention to that
danger"
Dr. Herran expressed the view that
the gunboats with crews loyal to the
central government could easily control
such boats as might go over to the
revolutionists. The situation, so far as
described in dispatches, has been an
ticipated for a long time as the natural
result Of the abortive consideration OF
the canal treaty at Bogota- Little sur
prizes IS felt here. therefore. at an open
rupture.
