Sing Sing Term,

New York.-Samuel Parks has been
sentenced to two years and three
months in Sing Sing prison. This
sentence was passed on the charge Of
extorting 5000 from the Tiffany stu-

Tiffany studios to pay him $500 to
call off strike. This was Parks
second sentence for extortion. On
the first he was relessed from Sing
Sing on q certificate of reasonable
doubt. In imposing sentence Judge
Newburger said he took into consider
alton the physical condition of Parks,
who is said by physicians to be suffer-
ing from consumption in an advanced
stage.
Parks, whose customary air of de-
finance has deserted him, received the
sentence without movemont of fea-
tnre or outward suggestion of emo
ton. So
Former District Attorney J. w. Os-
borne, Parks counsel, said he would
in all probability appeal, but that no
certificate Of reasonable doubt would
be applied for.

"The people of Panama have by an

solved their political relations with

with 1t as the responsible government
OF the territory and look to it for due
action to protect the persons and prop

and to keep open the Isthmian transit
in accordance with the obligations of
existing treaties governing the rela-
tions of the United States to that
territory" sl8. -s+

friendship which have so long and SO
happily existed between the respective

the governments of Colombia and of
Panama the peaceful and equitable
settlement of all questions at issue be-

bound not merely by treaty obliga-

the world across the Isthmus of Pana-
ma shall not be longer disturbed by o
constant succession of unnecessary

RETURN HOME HOLLOWEYED
Handful of Rugged Survivors of Negro

Colony Who Went to Morovia.
New York.-Two negro men, three
women and four children, gaunt hol-
low-eyed and ragged, have arrived
here from Europe en- route to their
home in Ocillo, Ga., from Monrovia
They constituted part of the surviv-
ors of party OF ffty-six Southern
negroes who. about year ago. were
sent by number of Southern philan-
thropists as an experiment in coloniz-
ing American negroes in Liberia.
Financial aid In the colonzation
scheme was furnished by planters. It
was hoped that the growing of cotton
would mark abe success of the yen-
ture. as reports showed that the soil of
Monorovia was adaptable to It's growth.
The colonists arrived there early in
February. They found themselves in
the midst of tropical wilderness with
only few white traders who were
mere adventurers. The party planted
their seeds. but the entire growth was
rotted or washed out within two
months. There were continuous rains
for weeks at time, the. natives were
hostile and finally the Jungle fever
broke out and wrought havoc imoug
the colonists. Their provisions were
depleted and they lived partly on ma
tive roots In less than eight months
more. than half the entire party had
disd. The party which came back did
SO on funds furnished by their former
employers in Georgia.
