WORD FROM COLOMBIA
ON CANAL NAT TER
Personality of Men Named on Com

News of an unofficial character from
Bcgota tell of the slow development of
the canal treaty consideration in the
Colombian congress. The most slgnifi-

is the naming of a committee on for

an aggressive advocate of the canal
measure.
DR.. Herran. the Colombian charge
d'affaires, has received no official ad-

unofficial dispatch with the following
members: Senators Joaquin F. velez.

his notable record in politics has az ex-

Rome. and more recently governor Of
the state of Bolivar, of which Carta-
gena is the capital

Rome. succeeding Velez. and has just re-
turned from there. A noteworthy fact
in regard TO Valencia is that although a
brotherin-law to Senor Concha, the for
mer minister to the United States. who
is not regarded as a friend of the treaty.
Valencia IS nevertheless likely to advo-
cate the treaty's ratification. minis
