Apostle SmOOt-hOar Says
They Are All Out of Place

Washington, Nov. 1.-THE senate
began business in earnest today by
receiving a number of petitions and
also many bills. Some of the petiti-
tions protested against Senator Smoot
of Utah remaining in the senate.

dite the hearing of the charges
against Mr.. Smoot, Mr.. Hoar took
occasion to remind the senders Of Pc
titions bearing upon Mr.. Smoot's case
that the proceeding is out of order
and is improper. He based his re-
marks upon the fact that the deter
mination of Mr.. Smoots rights will
be purely judicial proceeding. to be
determined by laws and the consti-
tuition of the United States.

OF petitions of this harge," he said,

The object of the recommendation
is somewhat obscure, as by bringing
in the verdict for murder in the first
degree they fixed the death penalty

sentence. In case of hanging it

Pot Off Dealing SensibIy With
the United States Until
Too Late
CAN'T TAKE UP CANAL TREATY
There 10 no Fear Of Compliea-
tions Arising With France
or Germany

Washington, Nov. lit is stated
here on authority that it is too late
for Columbia to make any effort to
resurrect the canal treaty with the
United States, and beyond preventing
a hostile clash between Colombia
and the new Republic of Panama the
proposed visit of General Reyes to
Panama will be without reult.
The same authority points out that
the United States government, having
recognized Panama as an Independent
state cannot now proceed to negotiate
with Colombia on any terms for canal
rights in state over which Colombia
exercises no political control, so any
future canal negotiations will be be-
tween the United States government
and the government of the Republic
of anama
Mr.. Tower, our ambassador at Ber-
lin, has cabled the state department
that he has been requested by Baron
Won Richthofen, the German foreign
secretary, to inform the Washington
government that the report that Ger
many intended to become involved in
the isthmian situation is entirely un-
true and woithout foundation and that
nothing is known in Berlin OF the in
tention of Colombia to appeal to En-
peror William for assistance as was
alleged in a recent interview by the
Colombian consul general at New
York.
Mr.. Tower adds that he was further
assured by the foreign secretary In
a most earnest and sincere manner
that the question of Germany's inter-
fering in Panama simply did not ex-
ist.
The statement is authorized that
the information conveyed to our am
bassador at Berlin was entirely vol
untary on the part of the German gov
ernment, as the interview of the Col
ombian consul at New Pork had been
ignored here.
The action of the Berlin govern
ment is thoroughly appreciated by
the Washington government for, al
though it merely confirmed what the
state department already knew. the
moral effect of the reiteration at this
time of Germanys friendly attitude
to the United States it is thought will
not be lost on the powers.
