COMMITTEE FAvoRs TaeATY.
Colombian Document Reported VITA.
out Amendment,


Washington, March 10.-The senate
committee on foreign relations agreed
to favorably report the Colombian
canal treaty to the senate. No action
was taken on the Cuban or other reel
procity treaties. The Colombian
treaty was reported. as in the former
session. without amendment.
During the session of the committee
on foreign relations, Senator Morgan
offered to consent to q vote on the
Colombian canal treaty at,2 o'clock on
Saturday provided the senate would
consent to allow him to print such re-
marks as he wanted in the Congress
sional Record, or as q public docu-
ment. Members of the committee
later discussed the proposition with
other senators and the concensus of
opinion seemed to be against granting
the permission. Some of the remarks
heretofore made by Senator Morgan
lombian government. and especially
on the president of Colombia. and
senators think it would be inadvisable
to give official sanction to such utter
ances by allowing them to appear in
the records of the senate. It also is
feared that the Colombian government
might take offense and fail to ratify
the treaty, and it Is asserted that ratl-
fcation of the treaty can be accom-
p1ished even II no agreement Is
reached.

cLEW IN sURDIck CASE.
Police Firm in Belief That Woman
Committed the Crime.

Buffalo. March 9.-The most I'M
portant development in the Burdick
mystery was the discovery of evidence
to corroborate the story of Policeman
Myer of meeting lone woman on
Ashland avenue about l o'clock on the
night OF the murder. 1t is not much
but the police feel encouraged. Tt :
police will not divulge the name of the
person who has come forward with the
additional evidence. They are doing
less talking about the case. The fact
that they are still working on the
"lone woman" clew indicates that they
have not abandoned the theory that
the woman had hand in the crime.
Superintendent Bull stands firm in the
belief. 81 still believe rs l did, that
n woman committed the crime" he
said.
The Burdick case was referred to
from the pulpits of some OF the
churches of the city Sunday.

FORECAST OF AWARD
WAGES OF ANTHRACITE MINERS
WILL BE INCREASED.
Payment by Weigh. When Practicable
and by the Yard In Other Cases.
Miners Union to Be Indirectly
Recognized by the Board.

New York, March 7.-The Herald
prints the following as a summary OF
the findings of the coal strike com
mission appointed by President -Roose.
welt, which, it is expected, will be
handed to the president within week.
There will undoubtedly be at least a
10 per cent advance in the pay for
mining, to take effect from the time the
miners returned to work last Octo-
ber. The per diem employees will not
have their wages raised, but will be
recommended for the same pay OF q
day of nine hours.
The system of pay will be regulated.
Wherever practicable the operators
will be required to pay by weight, in
stead of by the car, and elsewhere by
the lineal yard. The miners will have
expense. This will practically amount
to second increase In wages.
There will be indirect recognition of
the union, which will come when the
findings are submitted by President
Roosevelt to John Mitchell as presi-
dent of the miners union.
The causes of the strike, as found by
the commission, will not be COM
forting to the coal mining companies.
The boycott will be condemned and
the principle will be laid down that Il
miner has a right to work without mo-
lestation. even though he does not be-
long to the union. The terms of the
verdict are to hold good for three years.

SWEEPING DENIAL is MADE.
Answer 10 Filed to Injunction In Wa.
bash Case.

st. Louis, March 1O.-A sweeping
denial of all the charges made by the
Wabash Railway company in its bill
Of complaint, upon which was
issued the injunction to pre-
vent a strike among its en-
ployes. was contained in the answer
to the injunction suit filed in the
United States district court by the
counsel for the Wabash firemen and
trainmen. In support of the answer
were filed the affidavits OF all those
named in the injunction.
Today Judge Adams will set a date
for the hearing of the arguments for
and against the answer. The motion
to dissolve the injunction, lSefiy
stated, is based on the grounds that
the writ of injunction was improvi-
IDENTIFY granted; that charges of lie
gal conspiracy contained in the bill of
complaint are unfounded and dis
proved; that there is no equity in the
bill of complaint; that the injunction
was issued without notice, and that
all the material charges in the bill
are fully denied.
President Ramsey of the Wabash
and the company's legal counsel be-
gan the preparation of their argu-
ments against the answer Immediately
after it was filed.
The counsel for the Wabash en-
ployes spent the day in looking about
the city and will continue to spend the
time intervening until the hearing of
the arguments. None of the brother
hood officials have left the city and
all express themselves as well salts
fed with the answer as filed.
