HEEDS NOT SUMMONS OF
PRESIDENT To RETURN
Senator Scott Leaves White House in
a Hurry.

Senator Nathan Bay Scott of West
Virginia was in so great a hurry when
he left the White House today that not
even a message from the President of
the United States could call him back.
The Senator had come to see the
President and the latter was at the time
engaged with other callers. Mr.. Scott
did not think he could wait ana hasten
ed out the door and up the walk toward
the Mansion proper. He had not gone
far when the Presidents doorkeeper.
Captain Loeffler, came after him in i,
hurry, and raising his voice called after.
the departing statesman:
Senator. Senator. the President wishes
to see you now.
The Senator heard. but did not heed
He kept on at the same rapid pace
merely turning and sending back the la
comic message:
Cant stop now
Whether the incident will result in a
diplomatic rupture can only be shown by
the future. but as Senator Scott is known
30 be good natured man the Presidents s
preoccupation today will probably not
prevent the Senator from coming in again

ADMIRAL ADDS 50 TONS
To BkTTLESHIP'S WEIGHT
Added Avoirdupois Accounted for by
Presence of staff.

The Navy Department statisticians
have decided that the presence OF an
admiral on board battleship adds fifty
tons to that crafts weight.
In addition to the added presence of
his gold-laced staff. who are generally
large. well-fed, ample-waisted gentle
men, the admiral must have an extra
boat for his own personal use, two extra
bath tubs one for his own use, and one
for the use of the guests he is supposed
to entertain, and large number of
flags. books, and instruments that are
inseparable from the dignity of the
commander of a feet
The heavy thinkers OF the department
are now engaged upon the problera OF
reducing this weight as far as possible
bv cutting off such articles as can be
spared by the admiral. Up to date they
have got no further than the extra bath
tub. which they are inclined to regard rs
an unnecessary luxury.
1t is not absolutely necessary, they
believe. that the admiral and his guest
should battle at the same time and the
guest should be willing to use the ad-
mirals tnh-

CANAL TREATY HELD
Up BY RAILROADS
Transcontinental Freight
Interests Opposed.
LOBBYING I'M COLOMBIA
Ready to Spend Millions in Order to
Defeat the Waterway
Project.
LOBBYING IN COLOMBIA

Lobbyists representing the millionaire
owners of the transcontinenteI railway
system are now charged with RESPONSE
hility for the delay in the ratification of
the Panama Canal treaty by Colombia.
The men are on the ground and with
millions OF dollars 10 spend. and they are
spending II.
The facts as to just what is being done
were brought to the city this morning by
a well known railroad man who has only
recently returned from Bogota.
Big Interests Opposed.
The interests which have contributed
to the fund to secure votes OF Colombian
legislators are Morgan. Hill, Rookie
feller. Gould. Hartman, and others,
controlling the Union Pacific. the Canad-
ian Pacific, and Central Pacific, the
Texas Pacific, the Southern Pacific, and
nearly every other railroad in the
country.
The lobbyists who formed the third
house in Washington during the fight for
tfe treaty in Congress. re-enforeed by a
number of Central American lawyers,
politicians and revolutionists, are in
Rogota and the other cities of Colombia.
1t is said that the vast railroad in
terests are willing to pay even more
than the ten million dollars offered by
the United States, if the treaty is re-
jected
Must oTer More Money.
An emissary of the Columbian gov
ernment is now on his way TO wash
ington for conference with the Pre5i-
dent, but it was said this morning that
unless the United States offers more
money than that already agreed upon,
the conference will come to naught.
THE men who control the big cross
country lines cannot afford to have the
canal built" said the railroad man who
gave out the facts, because 1t will
come near bankrupting some of them. .
President Roosevelt, however. is de-
termined that canal shall be built,
and he announced the other day to a
friend:
If Colombia does not come TO terms
on June %. or few days later. 1 shall
reopen negotiations with Nicaragua
Consequently the railroad man
concluded. 1.-The fight is not going to be
ended when the contest between Uncle
Sam and the greatest combination of
private capital ever known closes with
the defeat of the treaty in Colombia

SEPARATED BY POLICEMEN

Much excitement was caused in front
ing when Norman Scott, lawyer, and
Douglas Syphax. a professional bonds
man, engaged in z hstic encounter. The
two men occupy AN Office together and
have but one desk in it. This morning
they got into an argument as to who had
a right to use the desk.
After heated discussion they left the
Office. but met an hour later along
'Pleaders' Row and passed a few more
molten syllabies and a fight ensued.
The crowd OF spectators, to the last
man. bear Lawyer Scott out in the
sertiou that he had all the better of the

when Policemen Vermiliion and New
kirk. who were leaving the Police Court
building. came up and stopped the fight.
Hauled Into Court.
The bluecoats took the aspfrants for
honors in pugilism into the courtroom
and threw them into the dock with
other prisoners.
Both men were much embarrassed
and brandished their greenbacks over
their heads and asked to be released.
Judge Kimball was trying case at the
time Vernillion and Newkirk entered
with their prisoners.
The lawyer and the bondsman. al
though well known in the Police Court.
refused to give their names, and wished
to be released without doing that.
BaiIiff Cole refused TO let them out. but
Bailif Kendig accepted the collateral,
and the men demanded to be released.
Cole refused to let them go without in
struction from Judge Kimball, who by
| this time was rapping loudly for order.
Cole asked Judge KimbalI what he
should do in the case, and the Judge
stern!y replied: Il have nothing what
ever to do with the case, ana / want
order here" Before order was restored.
however, Judge Kimball had to threaten
10 fine Policemen Newkirk and Verrnii-
lion for being in contempt of court.

The Albanians were finally overpow-

many wounded. The incident, follow

Albanian ranks.
Does Not Trust Troops.
The immediate person of the Sultan
is not guarded by troops, but by about
score of palace officials.
The report placing the fight in the
YiIdiz itself is probably an error as
to location. The Yildiz is only a big
mansion and not roomy enough for a
fight between any great number of men.
The revolt may have occurred in one
of the courtyards near the palace.
