the review and inspection OF the North Atlantic

day slightly marred by an accident in
which the torpedo boat destroyer Decatur. Lieu
tenant Lloyd c. Chandler commanding. was
rammed by the destroyer Barry. While not OF a
serious character the accident resulted in a
dented hull for the Decatur and somewhat
crumpled bow for the Barry. and made It nee
essary for both vessels TO steam forthwith to
the New York Navy Yard for repairs.
The accident occurred at 4:45 p m. just be-
fore the close of the maneuvres. The south

Washington. Aug. 17.-Oflcial news of the re-
lection Of the Panama Canal treaty by the
Colombian Senate Wednesday reached the
State Department last night. and Minister
Beaupres brief dispatch Immediately trans
mitted to the President at Oyster Bay and to
Secretary Hay at Sunapee Lake, New Hamp-
shire. The information was not made public
until DIR. Herran, the Colombian Charge
d'Afaires here. communicated to the State De-
partment conhrmatory dispatch from Bogota.
which reached him this morning. Undue inn
portance was at first popularity attached to the
news through the mistaken impression that the
Colombian Senates action was final, that the
treaty had been effectually repudiated by Co
lombia. and that the President would now
have alternative except to reopen negotia-
tions with Costa Rica and Nicaragua for an in
ternational waterway over the route not now
favored nor likely to be approved by the United
States Congress.
As matter of fact. the action at Bogota
Wednesday, regarding which even now clear
understanding is possessed by the State Depart
ment. is known to be inconclusIve and likely TO
be completely reversed by later proceedings.
The Colombian House of Representatives pos
sesses concurrent jurisdiction with the Senate
over treaties and this body. which is generally
understood to be Overwhelmingly in favor of
ratifying the convention, will row have its turn
at that instrument, and by prompt and decisive
action may compel the Senate to realize the

PITCHER BECKETT'S
CASE NOT ACTED upon
School Board Will Leave Matter tt
Advisory Committee.

The Board of Education, at its regular
meeting last night in the Franklin
school, refused to take action in the
case of c. C. Beckett. the Business High
Schools star pitcher, whose eligibility
has been questioned. Affidavits were
submitted to the board to prove that
Beckett has not violated the eligibility
rules governing high school athletics in
Washington. But after much discussion
the board decided not to interfere in the
matter, holding that the advisory board
composed of teachers from the high
schools, had the proper authority TO set
tie the dispute.
Those who dispute Beckett's eligibil-
ity assert that though he has obeyed
the letter of the law in maintaining a
sufficient standing in his studies, he is
at school primarily to play baseball.
which is contrary TO the spirit of the
law. The advisory board will prob
ably take some further action in this
matter

mission for the collection of flowers
