COLOMBIAN VESSELS
SEEN WITH TROOPS
Took on Supplies at Turbo, But Report
of Landing Soldiers Has Not Yet
Been Confirmed.

Rear Admiral Coghlan, commanding
the naval force at Colon, cables the
Navy Department under yesterday 5
date as follows:
Atlanta arrived yesterday Started
from San Bias Point to Port Gandi, not
having seen or heard anything OF Co
lombian troops or vessel. Communi-
Gated with shore at the principal ports.
Indians suspicious of strangers. Found
trails from San Bias Point to Port BeIlo,
possible for small parties. but none
leading inland. Atlanta leaves today to
cruise to Cape Tiburon and Gulf Of
Darien."
Admiral Coghlan later sent the fol-
lowing dispatch:
''Mayfower today reports that the
Cartagena and Pinzon were at Turbo
with 400 TO 500 men. Took in some sup
plies; sailed on the Sth. and supposed
to have landed the troops at Gandi.
Atlanta. however, was at Gandi on the
9th. and got opposite information, and
the United States consul at Cartagena
reports the ship Cartagena returned
there on the 9th. No doubt the vessels
and troops were at Turoo on the Sth.
That information reliable. Atlanta re-
turns today to Gulf for further search. q"
Caracas dispatches announce that Co
lombia has decided to send General
Urihe-Uribe as a special envoy to the
South American Republics to make rep
reservations concerning the isthmian
situation.

any attempt TO land troops within that

Question Of Arbitration.
The question most disturbing to the
Administration is the one OF reference
to The Hague Ii Colombia, on the
ground that the United States. by its
action, had prevented her from ouefI-
ing an insurrection within her own ter
rftOry. and thereby, in violation OF the
1916 treaty, impaired her sovereignty
and destroyed a valuable asset-the
canal concession-shorld demand arbi-
tration, the Administrations position
would be embarrassing.
Its officials have already stated that
the United States will refuse to enter
into arbitration on this subject. yer
diplomats here believe that such refusal
cannot but injure United States pres
tige, when it IS remembered that il was
this country which forced Great Britain,
Germany, Italy. and other foreign DOW
ers to arbitrate their difficulties with

GEN. REYES FIRST VISIT
TO STATE DEPARTMENT

General Reyes, the Colombian envoy,
called at the State Department this
morning and had a conference with As
sistant Secretary of State LOOMS. Gen
ersI Reyes assured Mr. Loomis that Co
lombia would probably not begin hos
tilities at alI-and certainly not until his
government had received his report on
the result of his mission to Washington.
At the conclusion of the conference
General Reyes again MAZE the assertion
that Colombia will not take any action
concerning the settlement of the 18TH
mian trouble until his mission Is com
pleted.
When asked what the action of Co
lombia will be in case his mission fails,
General Reyes merely shrugged MS
shoulders and said the future must take
care Of itself.
You can say that money doe,i not
enter into the question: General Reyes
said. when pressed for information con-
cerning the nature of the communion
tion TO the State Department which

wants it badiy II VIII do all in its
power TO bring about the immediate set

Further than that can say nothing.
Although General Reyes said he does
not know exactly when Colombia will
make its representations to the State
Department, he said IL Will doubtless
be soon, certainly within the next two
weeks, and possibly it may be sooner.

a debate IN the Senate today. when Mr..
Gallinger presented a favorable report
from the Committee on District Of Co

Mr. Hale and Mr. McComas made some
inquiries relative to the change OF name.
and when the discussion became pro-
longed Mr.. Morgan called for the regu-
lar order. and the bill went to the cal
endar.
Mr. Hale wished to know about the
bill. and what powers Il conferred. If
il gave no other authority than related
to the two main points above named,
he would not object. he said.
Mr. McComas was particularly desir-
Gus of being assured that Columbian
did not purpose calling itself THE Uni

creation Of which there is special
committee Of Congress.
Mr. Gallinger said DR.. Needham had
been asked that question, and had re-

was advanced for argument in the Su-
preme Court to the earliest date coun-
sci could prepare their briefs.
The Government submits in an argu-
ment covering $50 printed pages. that the
decree Of the circuit court should be af-
hrmed. The questions of law arising.
which the Attorney General and his as
sistant answer in the affirmative are:
Has a combination been accomplished
by means OF the securities company in
violation OF the antitrust act?
Have the defendadnts monopolized. or
attempted to monoITolize any part OF the
interstate or foreign commerce of the
United States?
Was the relief granted by the circuit
court authorized by law?
How Court Should Act.
II it is shown. they contend. that
either of the first two questions and the
third question should be answered in
the Affirmative, then the decVe OF the
circuit court must be confirmed.
The antitrust act is not primarily n
criminal statute. they argue. Ii is pur-
posely framed in broad and general lam
guage, in order to defeat subterfuges
designed to evade it. IL is no violation
but, on the contrary. clearly within the
Federal power for Congress to enact
that no persons. natural or artificial,
shall form a combination of instrument
talities OF any part of interstate COM
merce, the effect or terdency of which
would be TO restrain iT'l srstate trade or
commerce. and that 40 person or per
sons shall acquire a monopoly OF such
instrumentalities.
The ownership OF a majority of its

inquiry is whether a combination OF
