MUNCIE, Ind, May civilian Patter-
son, who was mysteriously shot at an early
hour yesterday morning in his own house,
continues in a serious condition and his
physician is yet unable to make a state
ment to the chances of recovery.
The mystery surrounding the case is as
deep as ever. Many vague rumors are cur
rent, but little credence can be placed in
any of them. The police are at work dill
gently on the burglar theory, but it seems
to be hopeless. DR.. De Valney Bower, the
father of Mrs. Patterson. claims that he
went to the house yesterday morning and
found a rear window open. The police
assert that they searched the house close
ly and found every door and window Sc
curely fastened a few minutes after the
shooting. They also say that the window
through which DR.. Bower believes the sup
posed burglar escaped is too small for the
body of man to go through.
The members Of the family and Patter-
son himself assert that burglar did the
the house had been entered leads to other
theories. Careful investigation has been
made TO disclose a possible enemy who
might have hid himself in the house and
committed the deed. but none can be
found. Charles Baldwin, ex-chief of police,
and now general passenger agent of the
Union Traction Company, is at work on the
case.
Mr.. and Mrs. Patterson deny that the
boy Arthur. who is weak-minded, did the
shooting. The boy could tell nothing OF
what had happened at the time and his
failure TO grasp the significance of the
affair is evidence that he had nothing to
do with it. He was sent away to school
in Kentucky early yesterday morning. 1t
was done to keep the boy out of the way
while his fathers condition is so serious.
On Patterson's night shirt were found
powder stains. which indicates that the
one who fired the shot had stood almost
against his victim. Patterson's sight is not
good and it is possible that had he seen
the one who fired the shot he would not
have been able to recognize him.
About ten years ago Mrs. Patterson was
shot in the back 1t was claimed that the
shot was accidental.

OPPOSED TO THE TREATY.
Colombian Congressman Not in Favor
of the Canal Agreement.

WASHINGTON, May 6.-The latest adj
vices received here indicate that President
Marroquin, of Colombia, has almost decided
not to call a special session Of the Colon
bian Congress to act upon the Panama
canal treaty. In the election In progress
in Colombia the opposition continues to
gain and the prospects for a government
majority are so doubtful that President
Marroquin seems indisposed to act The
Colombian Congress will, however, assem-
bic July 20 In regular session. AT that ses-
sion the canal treaty might be taken up.
but In view Of the sentiment existing much
doubt Is felt here as to whether II will be
acted upon. This outlook, however, does
not discourage the officials here. The
United States government has gone so far
in its negotiations with Colombia that con-
fidence Is felt here that President Mario
quin will feel himself bound to carry out the
engagements into which he has entered.
The Colombian Constitution contains pro-
vision charging the powers OF the executive
in case of disturbed conditions, allowing
the President to arrogate to himself dicta-
torial power and go to the length OF ratify-
ing the canal treaty without assent OF Con-
gress If he does so the United States gov
eminent will sustain the title thus acquired

changeable ticket on all trains in western
Passenger Association territory" A petit
ton signed by large number of whole

citation. This petition sets forth the argu-
ments Of commercial travellers in favor of
the new form of ticket. These are, in
brief that such ticket would be to the
mutual advantage of railroads and travel
ing men, as it would facilitate the move
ments of the latter and enable them to
travel more miles during the season. The
objection urged against the present form Of
interchangeable ticket is that the holder
has to lose time at the ticket window in
getting his certificate, and during the rush
season this results in his making fewer
towns each day.
