CITY OF PANAMA. Dec. S.-This
sun-wraped land never before wit
messed anything to compare with the
furious six-day celebration of the
nations first birthday. BY day and
night the whirlwind OF patriotic
demonstration continued unrestrained
In the cities of Colon and Panama.
Neither the scorching sun nor floods
of rain daunted.
The police were ordered to make
no arrests except for grave offenses
and the natives set wild gait which
grew apace until the flags were low
cred on the governors palace to note
tne end of the fete.
Wierd and strangely medieval were
the daylight demonstrations in the
streets and positively barbaric were
the savage night orgies. Still, the
ceremonies had the touch of civiliz>
alton and republican patriotism about
them, but this was queerly blended
with the customs of ancient Spain,
wild Indian ways and negro ribaldry.
Hardly an inhabited building along
the line of the old railroad or in the
cities lacked decoration. EVERY

terations even where the error is ap-
wronged can get their rights only by
making formal contests.
Probably the busiest institution in
the country is the Colorado supreme
court. The judges assumed direct
jurisdiction Of the election. and as a
result have been overwhelmed with
business. Questions of all sorts have
come to them from all sections. In
one case the rush was so great that
the judges had to long-distance tele-
phone their decision to an interior
county.
A Judge in this county set out to
make a ruling in connection with the
election returns. There was no time
to get out writs and things, and the
court simply sent word by a lawyer,
informing the judge that he had no
authority to act in election matters.
II don't believe" said the Judge,
that the supreme court is sending
oral messages to other courts. Any
properly authenticated message will
be observed, but I will not assume
that the court does business that
way"
His assumption was wrong. He
was going ahead with the hearing
next day when he got another verbal
message. 1t was by telephone, and
the clerk of the supreme court did
the talking. He notified the county
judge to let go of the election case.
So the county judge let go. He shook
off the case as though it were a cent?
pede crawling up his sleeve.
This Denver situation is big enough
and complicated enough to keep the
supreme court busy long time. but
other counties are also being heard
from.

contests make it appear as though

night the scene might have been laid
along the banks of the Kongo.
A barbaric dance of the natives,
called 'cumbia," continued from
sunset until sunup daily. All classes
participate. but the custom is espec-
tally ugly among the poor who dance
in the dark streets.
Musicians take their stand in some
black spot where the ground is level
as soon as the cathedral clock tolls
seven. Then begins the monotonous
bang of a tom-tom, the plantive notes
of an accordion, and the rustic of
palm-leaf fans against thumbs keep
come focking half smothered in
masks and vari-colored dress. Every
man carries lighted candle.
"Yahoo! yahoo!' they shout amid
the fiendish cries of the women and
the dance is on. Soon it takes on
dance, of which 1t is a relic pre-
served through all the years of CIV
ilization. Circling around the musi-
clans goes the glistening human
dancers sway back and forth like
cocoanut palms driven by the trade
winds
The sodden sensuality of the step
and gymnastics of the dancer is
horrible beyond words. White teeth
fash in the candle light Hours go
by and there is not an instants
hating. 1t would seem that the
dancers would fall from sheer ex-
haustion. A rank and fetid odor
arises from the perspiring throng.
The music Is drowned out at times
by the gutteral shouts Of the men
and hair raising screams of the wo-
men,, The painted faces become tense
from excitement. 1t is not uncom-
mon for expert dancers of the cumbia
to dance without halt for 10
hours. Children carry bits of fish
or fruit to the dancers at times and
these are gulped down between
courtesies.
Whe the red sun peeps over the
hills the musicians suddenly move
away and the dropping circle fades
from view.
1t was a fitting demonstration Of
the paradoxical nature of the Pan
aman to hear his shouts for Ameri-
ca and at the next instant witness
his inherent suspicion of Americans
about him. While the shouts was
born of a knowledge that America
had made possible Panama's indie
pendence. the proud scoff of contempt
meant that really the black still hates
the average American cordially.
1t was considered expedient by
Gov. Davis TO have a small force of
marines within easy call from PAN
anna and strict ship duty was required
aboard the Dixie until the fete days
were over.
Just prior to the opening of the
celebration rumor spread from
coast to coast that large force of
Colombians was marching through
the interior upon Panama to inter-
rupt the celebration with a fresh
celebration. The usual panic at the
sight or mere thought of gunpowder
prevailed among the natives and was
not quieted until Gov. Davis had
proved the rumor false by ivestiga-
ton by zone detectives.
Gov. Davis took no part in the
celebration. He is not popular
among the natives, due to his strict
discipline and his disregard for
time-honored customs where they
conflict with his idea of law and
order in the zone. He is in mourn
ing over the death of his wife and
took no part in the ceremonies.
