question of the extent of Americas
sovereignty in the zone.
United States Zone Judge Aceolo
Kyle granted an application for
writ of habeas corpus. On October
II the marshal declared in favor of
the United States, after United States
District Attorney j. M. Keedy had
made an argument that the zone Of
ficials had acted within the zone law.
The court overruled a demurrer and
Judge Little, on the assumption that
the constitution follows the flag, is
preparing the record to bring the
case before the supreme court of the
United States.
Judge Little's argument proved to
be a comprehensive statement of the
claims of Panama. He contended
that the president misunderstanding
ly interprets the treaty in especial
relation to the score of sovereign
power over the zone.
"He forgets," said Judge Little,
that outside of what is necessary
and convenient for the construction
of the canal, the treaty is silent and
he is absolutely powerless to read
into the treaty lines that are not
there and read out any of it's plain
provisions"
THE JUDGE THEN MADE THE
ASTONISHING DECLARATION
THAT THE TREATY ITSELF WAS
NOT ENTERED INTO REGULAR
LY AND WAS, IN FACT, NOT A
BINDING FORCE UPON EITHER
THE UNITED STATES OR PANA-
MA. IN SUPPORT OF THIS, HE
SAID THAT THE WHOLE TREATY
WAS IN VIOLATION OF INTERNA-
TIONAL LAW, AND THEREFORE,
VOID. PANAMA WAS NOT A SOW
EREIGN AND INDEPENDENT
POWER AND POSSESSED NO
TREATY POWER.
Hhe said: "The treaty was signed
by this infant republic while in the
political convulsions of birth, with
no political mind, too young to have
fixed principles and too weak to de-
fend them. / might here remark
that 1t is not usual for the midwife
to take the baby in liquidation for
services rendered. The president did
this. however, in this case. and the
United States took advantage of it's
weakness and it's inability to dictate
terms which should surely have been
demanded by any formidable govern
ment. The United States was prac-

There is no record that this infant
republic had the first vestige of au-
thority from its people. Yet some
of the officials of the United States
claim that this poor little infant re-
public should be held with it's hands
tied and it's sustenance taken from it
because they have the power to do it.
This is a question of AmeRican
honor. And the people of the UVited
States have too proud a sensS Of

YOUR VOICE BY MAIL

VIENNA, Dec. 5.-A novel penny
in-the-slot machine has just been pat
ented here. 1t enables the operator
to obtain a record of his voice on
thin gramophone disc, which may be
fixed on a card and forwarded as a
postcard. The postal handling of
the card will not, it is claimed, in

liars in the United States have caused
the impression to become general,
even among the natives here, that
Uncle Sam was at present levying
the Dingley tax on all goods that go
into the zone and impoverishing the
country by establishing a United
States custom house at Colon and
collecting all port charges. This is
not So But as a matter of fact had
Panama not shown her fighting face
in the nick of time it would have
been the case ere now. Governor
Davis said to me that not one dollar
of Dingley taxes on port charges
had been collected. The United States
port officers are established in the
zone and $4,000 has been realized from
the sale of stamps to date. Taxes
on real estate and rentals in the zone
are being collected, but Governor
Davis denied the statement that ma
tives had been evicted for non-pay-
ment.
1.-The case Of a woman who refused
to pay rent for a house owned by
the government came up" said the
governor, "and l decided that at least
the woman must be notified officially
what her obligation was to the zone
government / caused her to be no
tilted that unless she did pay for that
property she would have to relfn-
quish the house. This was done, and
though the payment has not been
made, she has not been evicted."
BY all odds the most interesting
phase of the mixup is that in rela-
ton to the lottery. j. Gabriel Duque,
the Rockefeller of Panama and
former resident of Philadelphia, owns
the lottery concession. The govern
ment gave him the right to sell lot
terry tickets for a term of years for
a percentage of the gross receipts.
The lottery has become a stronger
institution in the country than the
church. 1t is as much in the life
OF the native as are his meals. A
man or woman is hardly considered
q good citizen unless he is in the
weekly drawings. Hundreds of men
and women earn a livelihood selling
tickets on n commission of per
cent. In the market places lottery
tickets are displayed for sale in fruit,
vegetable and meat stands. Cabmen
sell them. Every saloon and gam
bling house is an agency.
The drawings take place in the
Duque offices at Panama on Sunday
afternoons. A great crowd stands
before a counter, a child is brought
in from the street to draw the num-
bers The alcalde or some other gov
eminent official is present to conduct
the ceremony. The child puts her
hand into a basket and draws out a
hollow ball, which contains a number
printed on paper. Ten thousand or
less tickets have been sold. If the
child draws No. 4 1t is registered on

prizes are made up from combina-
tions of these figures.
Duque proposed to open a second
lottery drawing weekly when the
United States began work In earnest
on the canal, believing that the work.
men would be sufficiently interested
to make It profitable. Duque's net
profits amount to about $4,000 week
from these drawings. He owns other
important concessions. such as ice
and electric light plants. which he
expects will be bonanzas when the

Of the parties mentioned are well known

time. Among other places visited, she
willremember her visit to the Rosebud
reservation In company with her sis

3 Strong, she went to see the Indians Of
the Rosebud celebrate There were at
least two hundred tepees; about 1000
Indians. They had came from all parts
| Of the reservation and had brought their
families with them. The horses and
dogs were no small part of the camp.
They had been in camp for nearly
week prior to the celebration. They
had constructed large bowery by driy.
Ing forks into the ground and covering
them with brush There was large
flag pole In the center. from which iloat-
ed the stars and stripes. The ceremo

dams had danced for two nights and
were exhausted A part of the ceres
monies consisted IN making presents

much gusto. Then following, q squaw
