CORMAN is THANKED
Colombian Senators Send Him
a Ringing Message.

BOGOTA, Jan. 7.-Senators Caro-,
Velez, Quintero, Marroquin and fifteen
other senators have addressed the fol-
lowing dispatch to United States Sem
ator German:
1.-The undersigned Colombian sena-
tors heartily congratulate you and
those who support you in defending the
ideas of justice and the respect for
rights proclaimed by Gen. Washington
and sutained by all your great states
men. The Colombian senate dlsap-
proved the HayHerran canal treaty
because 1t impaired our national juris-
diction and was contrary to our laws.
"The secession of Panama did not
take place as the result Of generous
impulse, but through the treacherous
plan of bribing the public forces, and
1t simply subsists by the Intervention
of President Roosevelt, who, occupying
the adjacent seas with a powerful
navy, impedes Colombia's access to an
integral part of Its territory.
"If this deed were to be consummated
Colombia would lose materially, but
the United States would lose her moral
greatness. We still confide in the dig
| nifty of that honest school which cher
ishes and conserves the spirit of the
founders Of liberty in the new world
against the false right of conquest
which is today yelled under the name
of imperialiSm."

The most effective roundup of
crooks ever made in st. Paul was Sc
cretly executed last night by Chief
John J. O'Connor and his corps of
plain clothes men. The drag net was
thrown out early in the evening, and
when it loosened at midnight ten or a
dozen crooks, nearly all with records,
occupied cells at the central station.
The net extended all over ST. Paul and
into Minneapolis, two men being ar
rested in the Mill City.
A great many crooks of all classes
and kinds from Chicago, Minneapolis
and the Northwest have recently head
ed for st. Paul. The police have kept
tab on them and ordered a number to
leave, but in spite of their vigilance a
number of petty burglaries have been
pulled off,"
Chief O'Connor decided upon strenu-
GUS measures yesterday and plans were
Immediately adopted to get every man
suspected Of being crooked under lock
and key.
The Central station last night was a
very busy and mysterious spot from z
o'clock on. Chief O'Connor and Capt.
John Clark held repeated conferences
with the detectives as they came into
the station with the men they were

But the Judge Says Mr.. briggs

Willingly.

NEW YORK, Jan. AFTER deliber-
ating forty-fiye minutes today jury
found ex-Congressrnan Edmund H.
briggs guilty of accepting money to
procure a contract between a private
company and the government while
serving as a member of congress. The
jury recommended mercy.
In response, Judge Thomas said the
recommendation was erninently fitting
as Mr.. briggs, had conducted himself
with dignity and because he undeubt-
edly violated the statute unwittingly
Judge Thomas said he believed Mr.
briggs was only guilty in technical
sense. In charging the jury, Judge
Thomas said:
.Did Mr.. briggs tender services to
the Fraudulent company in connec-
| ton with government contract? He
had a perfect right to give his services
gratuitous1y, but if he was congress

directions, the Fly bobs' again hurried
out to look for others.
Valuable Information obtained!
AS fast as the men were brought to
the station they were searched and
then locked in cells to await examina-
ton by the chief EyefSman was CIV
en- thorough sweating during the
night, and although the police would
say nothing concerning the round up,
much valuable information, 1t is stated,
concerning numerous "jobs" which
have been pulled off about the country
recently, was secured by them.
The stairway leading ito the cells on
the second floor was guarded constant
ly by Officer Pat Smith and no one was
allowed to go up. An extra policeman
was also kept on guard all night on
account of the desperate character of
some of the men.
The arrest of the crooks was accom-
panied by the recovery of a large
amount of jewelry and other property
believed to have been stolen. Officers
Fraser and Murnane landed one fellow
just as he was starting for his room on
Wabasha street, and upon searching
his room found ladies' fine astrachan
! Jacket, silk scarfs, waists and some
other goods. The man also had a cou-
pie of watch chains. cuff buttons, a
watch and other jewelry about him.

Excepting two, brought In early in

the police refused to divulge their

The police positively refused to give
out any information concerning the
roundup. Chief O'Connor and Capt.
Clark both declared that they could
not say anything concerning the mat

norance of the entire affair. Toward
midnight Chief O'Connor was heard to
say exultingly to Capt. Clark:
well, that is the best roundup ever
made in st. Paul." but when asked for
more information he again declined to
say anything.

James Garfield, a Bartender,
Shoots His Better Half

"Hold the line minute, and you will
hear something!"
The proprietor of saloon on Sec
ond avenue south, Minneapolis, heard
these words when called to the tele-
phone at $3.50 yesterday afternoon.
With the receiver to his ear all he
could hear was sound as of somebody
rapping on a tin pan. He hung up the

There were no eye witnesses to the
tragedy, although the housekeeper
Miss Dottie Jennings, was in the room
few minutes before.
Yesterday afternoon Garfield secured
possession of the woman's pocketbook
and refused to return 1t to her. A
violent quarrel followed, of which Miss
Jennings was witness. Garfield sud
