of an infant by a woman who registered

each month. There was nothing abou;
the child to help fix its Identity.
The local police have not been called
upon to investigate the case. There is

trolled by the Chicago Restaurant
Keepers Association, were ordered out
on a strike at 8 O'Clock this morning
The decree was issued last night when

the union claims that 80 per cent are
going out.
A riot, in which pistols and knives
were displayed, was caused at II. h

DELAYED DISPATCHES
ARRIVE FROM BOGOTA
Cables Dated August Il and
Is Come Together.
NO EXPLANATION Is GIVEN
Mr.. Loomis Returns to State Depart
ment and Will Make OFF,
cial Inquiry.

Dispatches were received by the State
Beaupre. at Bogota, in which the Panama
Canal treaty was discussed. The dis
patches were dated August u and August
10. In the one dated August 10 Mr..
Beau pre- said the Colombian congress
was making an effort to bring about the
ratification OF satisfactory treaty and
expressed the opinion that something
definite would be done in a short time.
Mr.. Loomis returned this morning
from Ohio, and assumed charge of the
State Department. He is at loss TO
explain the delay in official news from
Bogota. and said the receipt Of dis
patches on the same day which were
started from Bogota on different dates
has never been satisfactorily explained.
Text Not Disclosed.
At present the State Department can
not make public the text of these dis
patches from Colombia, as well as the
dispatches dated August 16, which DR.,
Herran received and turned over to the
State Department. Mr.. Loomis said this
morning, however. that no additional
light on the canal treaty is contained in
the dispatches. There were no state
ments in the dispatches which indicated
that the joint committee named by the
congress to prepare a satisfactory treaty
has made report
