FOR THE FOOTBALL TEAM.
Washburn Is Arranging to Banquet
the PLAYERS.

There has been a big advance sale of
tickets for the football entertainment to
be given at the Washburn college
chapel Monday night. The entertain
ment is for the purpose of raising
money to banquet the football team at
the close of the season.
Prof. Q. B. Towne of the department
of elocution is the man who is getting
up the show. It will be a modernized
and Washburnized version of the old
"Deestrick Skule' farce.
Sedate senior girls will appear in
short skirts and pinafores, with their
hair braided down their backs. Irwin
Snattinger. the 200 pound son of NJ.
Snattinger of this city, will be dressed
in a bingham apron and will take the
role of Baby Honeysuckle. There are,
altogether. about 33 in the cast. The
teacher is Halle, a very tall young
man who plays some football and is
studying for the ministry.
Besides raising a fund for the foot
all banquet, the farce will determine
who shall take part in the college play
to be given later in the year. Those
showing the most ability in the farce
Monday night will be chosen for the
cast of the play.

COLOMBIA'S CASE.
Continued from First Page.)

The large German colony in Rio Grande
De Sui. Brazil. is declared to be in
clining to a revolutionary movement
for independence, which the success of
Panama will stimulate.
1.-The government of Colombia is re-
ceiving the sympathy of all South
America. which is fearful of further
American territorial ACKNOWLEDGMENT in
this direction.
81 may propose when in Washington
a plan contemplating the re-entrance of
Panama into the Colombian union and
the moving of the Colombian capital to
Panama CITY,
Il am sure that this idea will receive
the support of all Colombians. do not
just now know what my course of ac-
ton will be but I am going to Wash
ington in the interest of Colombia and
of civilization
Asked whether Colombian troops
could reach the Isthmus by land, Gen
eral Reyes answered: Yes, I can get
hundred thousand men, build roads,
and if it were not for the Americans,
could Subdue the ISthmuS in fort
night. 1 would rather die for the honor
and in the defense of the integrity of
my country than sit with hands folded
and see her lose the ISthmuS. I will do
all | can at Washington to effect a
diplomatic arrangement if such be pos
sible. I know the sentiments of my
countrynen.''
General Reyes today sent a cable
gram to Bogota advising his govern
ment that it was impossible to reach
any agreement with the government of
Panama and hence that Colombia's re-
lations with that country were severed
and that he, accompanied by the other
commissioners, was proceeding to Wash
ington to fulfill his mission.
Questioned as to the rumor that the
departments of Cauca and Antioquia
were anxious to join the republic of
Panama, General Reyes said:
1.-THE report of dissa tisfaction in these
departments is not only untrue, but
am able to say to you that the entire
republic is united on its determination to
restore the IsthmuS to the union
General Reyes, who was a candidate
for the presidency of Colombo issued
decree dated at Barranquilla, November
16 addressed to the members of the cleo
torate college at Bogota, which said:
Having accepted a mission empow-
cred with all presidential powers in al
most all departments of the republic at
moment when my country is prepar-
ing for presidential election 1 deem it
my duty to relinquish my candidacy.
Hence I renounce irrevoca bly,, offering
my services to my country in any other
position
General Reyes attitude as indicated
by his remarks was more or less belli-
cose Though still bellicose, he is more
hopeful. He seems disturbed, however,
by the rapid march of events in the
United States and is fearful that con-
gress may ratify the canal treaty with
the new republic. He appears despond-
ent over the general outlook for his mis-
sion

Federal Convicts Claim Release on

Three habeas corpus suits have been

The suits are based upon similar claims
for freedom. Each man claims that he
was tried by a general court martial on
the charge of murder at a time when
the country was not in a state of war
and in violation of the statutes provided
for such trials. They claim that a court
martial IS not authorized to try murder
cases in times of peace.
The prisoners bringing suit for liberty
are James Ellis who was sent here from
Macon, Georgia; w. ]. Edwards, who
was convicted of murder at Lexington

up for murder committed in Cuba Ref
