PANAMA TREATY REPORTED TO
THE SENATE FOR ITS ACTION

Washington, Jan. 19.-While the
Panama canal question has been before
the Senate on general principles during
the greater part of the present session,
the Panama canal treaty was not re-
ported until yesterday. 1t had no
sooner been reported favorably to the
Senate in executive session than it be-
came the subject of heated controversy.
Senator CullOm made the report in
favor Of the treaty, whereupon Senator
Morgan, as member of the commit
tee, at once entered formal protest
against the acceptance of the report,
On the ground that when the committee
decided to report the treaty, an
amendment was still under considera-
tion and that he had not had time to
present an amendment looking to the
striking out of article % of the treaty
in which Panama renounces her right
to participation in the earnings of the
canal when built.
Senator Morgan supported his writ
ten statement with a brief speech, and
was Immediately followed by Senator
Daniel with resolution declaring
against the policy OF reporting any
treaty or bill until each member shall
have offered any amendments he de-
sired to present. Senator Daniel de-
clared that the course of the committee
had been both precipitate and unfair,
and urged that the treaty should be
recommitted for further consideration.
Replies were made by Senator'S Cul-

Or. Williamson Swears.

Yorktown, Ark, Jan. 1S.-Last week
a statement was published from Le-
land Williamson, NJ. D., of this place,
TO the effect that Dodd's Kidney Pills
are the best medicine for all Kidney
Diseases and that he uses them with
uniform success in his daily practice.
No one who knows DR.. Williamson
viii doubt for a moment the complete
truth of his fearless declaration, but
to completely clinch the matter in the
minds of those who may not have the
pleasure of personal acquaintance
with this celebrated physician, DR..
Williamson has appeared before Mr..
H. T.. Greene, ]. p. for Montgomery
COUNTY, and made a sworn statement.
In this sworn statement the doctor
has cited a number of cases which
have been completely cured by Dodds
Kidney Pills. Here is case No. /:
Henry Hall, Sr., age As, an Ameri
can, attacked With Malaria Haema-
tur!a, or Swamp Fever; temperature
ranged from l0l to 100, highly coated
tongue constitpated bowels, hemor-
rhage or passage of blood from Kid
neys; used febrifuge and Dodd's Kid
ney Pills to relieve the Inflammation
and cons eted condition of Kidneys
and to render the urine bland and non

lon, Spooner and Allison. Speaking
as chairman of the committee on for
eign' relations, Mr.. Cullom said that
the treaty had been in committee for
almost month before it was taken up.
He conceded that during the greater
portion of this time Congress was not
in session, but said he had called the
committee TO meet on the first regular
meeting day after the Senate recon-
vened, and that at his instance 1t had
been holding daily sessions most of the
time since. He declared that careful
consideration had been given to all the
details connected with the treaty, and
said that instead of precipitancy being
manifested, the committee had given
the utmost consideration to all sugges-
tions for amendments and had adopt
ed some of them. He felt that the ma
jority had listened with great patience
to all the representations made, and
therefore had felt justified in putting
the motion, made by Senator Lodge in
committee, for the reporting of the
treaty without delay.
Senator Spooner spoke along the
same lines and went into detail to
show the consideration given by the
committee to the suggestions of Demo-
cratic members. Senator Allison sug-
gested that Democratic senators could
offer amendments at any stage of the
proceedings in the Senate and assured
them that all amendments would have
fair and deliberate consideration.

HABEAS CORPUS
CASE in COURT

Denver, JAN 19.-Judge Hallett has
been asked to have the United States
Court interfere in the trouble at Grip
pie Creek. Yesterday the attorneys for
Sherman Parker, held under arrest by
the state military officers in the gold
camp, applied in the Federal
Circuit Court for writ of
habeas corpus. Judge Hallett
asked them to notify the attorney gen.
eral of the state that the application
had been made, and said that he would
be ready to hear arguments at 10
o'clock this morning.
The petition filed by the attorneys
for MIR. Parker goes very fully into the
whole case. After the statement OF the
nature of the request, the complaint
gives in full each of the three procla-
nations issued by Governor Peabody in
connection with the Cripple Creek trou-
bles. Mr.. Parker was member OF the
executive committee of the Victor Min
ers' Union, and, in his complaint,
state sthat he was arrested first on
September 10, 1903, and was kept in the
custody of the state military until Sep
lellUGT Luth, "ucu uc do lSlSdSCd
der habeas corpus proceedings in the
Teller county courts. On November
21st he was arrested again and held
until some time in December. He ap-
piled for a writ of habeas corpus on
December 4th, and on December 9th
was delivered to the sheriff of Teller
county. In the meantime Governor
Peabody had issued two more procla-
nations covering the troubles in Grip
pie Creek, one on December 4th and the
other on December 5th. Those de-
clared the camp to be in state of in
surrection. and that the public peace
demanded that the military be placed
in supreme control.
MIR. Parker gave bail in $4,000 on
December 14th to appear to answer
criminal charges that had been filed
against him, and was released. Imme
diately thereafter he was taken in
charge by the military authorities and
has been held prisoner ever since. He
has been in the guardhouse, he states
detained by force Of arms"

GARDNER AND ROOT
IN A DRAWN BATTLE
Fight Six Fast Rounds at Chicago in
Which Both Are
Punished.

CHICAGO, Feb. 26.-Jack Root of
this city and George Gardner of Low
ell, Mass, fought a six-round draw
here tonight.
The fight was fast throughout and,
with the exception of the third round,
when Root had the better, and the
fifth, when Gardner evened up the
advantage Root had gained, the fight
was even.
Root played for the jaw and Gard
ner for the body all through. Root
landed frequently on the jaw in the
third round and at the close Gardner
was hanging on. In the fifth round
Gardner gave Root a severe pounding
on the body and sent him to his cor
ner badly weakened. Both men fought
desperately in the last round. Root
landed a hard right on the jaw that
forced Gardner to clinch. He recov-
cred quickly, however, and evened
matters up by a series of heavy body
blows. Both men were bleeding bad
~ at the finish.
