YOUNG LADY MEETS
 A HORRIBLE DEATH
THROWS HERSELF IN FRONT OF TRAIN AND ALLOWS HER BODY TO BE CRUSHED INTO SHAPE. LESS MASS-NoT MURDER.

Cleveland, O., September 22.-Despond- ent and disheartened over conditions.
 some of which may never be known, Miss
 Olive Rayl, sister of Dr. w. L. Rayl of Wellsville, whose body was found badly crushed and severed into several pieces on the Lake Shore tracks in Gordon park early today, threw herself in front of a passing train or lay down on the tracks to await death. This was the opinion of the police tonight after day spent by the entire detective force in attempting to un- ravel the uncertainties which surround the death of the young woman. The mur- der theory was generally held at the outset.
 The belief of the police that she was not murdered and her body placed upon the track is practically substantiated by the coroner and second physician who performed the autopsy over the body Notwithstanding their belief that the case is one of suicide, the police are still work ing on 1t. and will continue to do so un- til further effort In that direction seems useless. Miss Rayl came to this city from Wellsvile, O., some time ago to take up the work of nursing her brother, who is a physician, and entering training school for nurses also immediately upon her arrival. The only cause for self de- struction, If the death of the young wo- man proves to have been such, is a dis- appointment in love affair at Wells Vile, and this is also said to have been the cause of Miss Rayrs leaving her home city.

a way may yet be found to straighten out the present difficulties in the path of the Panama route.
 Contrary to his custom during the sum- mer, Acting Secretary Adee of the state department. remained in the city tonight in order to be on hand to act promptly on any information which might come from MT. Beaupre regarding canal matters at Bogota. Up to 9:S0, however, nothing had been received. pr. Herran. the Colombian charge, also waited anxiously for news from his government, but likewise was disappointed. Colombia, 1t is known, is anxious to keep alive the canal negotia- tions. What form her new proposition with that object in view will take Is not known in Washington. One interesting feature in connection with the legislative situation in Colombia, is the fact that the terms of one-third of the members of the senate. numbering nine, will expire on the goth of next July, when the life of the present congress ends. These nine senators, it is said, are adverse to the canal treaty. The hope of the advocates of the treaty will be to elect senators in their places who are favorable to the convention. It Is expected the campaign for the seats will be made on this issue.

 WAS PURELY PERSONAL

 Bookbinders caSe-Fe ederaton of Labor at Work

John Mulholland of Toledo, O., presi- dent of the Allied Metal Mechanics or- ganzation, today appeared before the ex- ecutive council of the federation and sub mitted a petition for the revocation of the charter of the International Association of Machnists on the ground that 1t in- frlnged on the territory of the Allied Metal Mechanics. The protest Is an out growth of the action of the last machin- ists convention in extending the consti- tuition so as to embrace crafts that the metal mechanics claim fall within their jurisdiction. The maehinists have a mem bership of 7O,000 and the Allied Metal Mechanics 16.0O0. The petition finally representatives of the two organizations confer and adjust matters.
 In the afternoon Gov. Hunt. Porto Rico had a conference with the executive council relative to the labor situation in Porto Rico, and also in regard to the proper enforcement of the eight-hour law for all mechanics. artisans and laborers in the island.

VX WASHINGTON. September 22.-
 w When the state department
 closed today at o'clock, it was agreed that the Panama canal treaty was dead, although eight hours yet remained within which the Colombian congress might take affirmative action upon it. Nothing, however, had been received during the day, either from Minister Beaupre at Bogota. or from MT. Herran. the Colombian charge daffaires here, which gave the slightest hope of a fa- vorable issue. A report is current here that the Colombian congress in secret session has clothed President Marroquin with full power to negotiate treaty.
 If this report should turn out to be true, President Marroquin. who is counted a friend of the treaty, could proceed un- trammelled by the fear of future reck- oning with his congress In any event. President Roosevelt must now take the next step. He can elect to proceed un- der the Spooner act and take up the Nicaragua route, or he can allow mat ters to drift for the present in hope thar

Advices received here from Caracas, ven- ezuela- state that the official gazette has published a government decree suspend Ing tfre oof,e=ation of the mining code for an indefinite period. This decree will rem der new acquisitions of mines In venezu- ella impossible.
 The reason given is that clique of politicians surrounding President Castro wishes to monopolize all the mines in the district of Ciudad Bolivar, without meet ing any competition. They would after wards sell the mines to foreign compa- nies. The action of the government, ta- ken without previous notice. will cause detriment to the American mining parties who are now engaged in surveying several mining claims in the district of the Ori- noco.
