Considering the Panama Treaty.
(By the Associated Press.)

Washington, Jan. 1.-THE Senate Com
mittee on Foreign Relations today con-
tinued consideration of the Panama Canal
treaty.
Senator Morgan did not proceed with
his general review of the treaty, but the
document was taken up for consideration,
section by section. and when the COM
mittee adjourned at noon eight sections
had been read and discussed. The Demo
cratic members suggested number of
amendments intended for the purpose of
Strengthening and making more certain
and absolute the control of the United
States over the canal. None of these
changes was definitely acted upon. but
they were all noted, and the Republican
members indicated willingness to give
them careful consideration. There was
some discussion of the general policy of
amending the treaty and the Republican
members assured their Democratic col
leagues that the majority had no inten-
ton of standing out against alterations
where they might seem desirable. On the
contrary they declared their willingness
to make changes which would improve
the treaty. 1t is now believed that the
committee will be able to conclude con-
sideration of the convention and to report
it early next week.

forty-five minutes today jury found
Congressman Edmund H. briggs guilty of
accepting money to procure contract
between a private company and the gov
eminent while serving as member Of

said:
did Mr.. briggs tender services to the
Brandt Dent Company in connection with

if he was 4 Congressman-elect and re-
ceived compensation therefor. then
charge you that he is guilty"
The defense took exception to this
point.
After the jury had been discharged
Judge Thomas announced that counsel
could agree on day for sentence. He
said:
II wish 1 could infict a sentence with
out Imprisonment. but cannot under the
law. / shall make the sentence as light
as / possibly can. You, briggs, are free
to come and go as you please
Mr.. briggs in his testimony freely adj
mitted that he had placed $50 of the
cashier companies machines in various
departments of the postoffice at Washing
ton, and that he was paid $t2,500 by the
company. Mr.. briggs also admitted that
he gave money to George w. Beavers.
who was a superintendent in the Post
Office Department. He declared that at
the time he gave Beavers $1,000 in 1900,
i. was not for services rendered but
went toward campaign fund. At that
time Mr.. briggs was a candidate sor
president Of the borough of Brooklyn.
