CONFERENCE CONCERNING
STATUS OF THE CANAL
President Bo Assures Ambassador
Porter that Transfer Can Be
Made by April IS.
SUITS NOT IN THE WAY

PARIS, March Sowing to the reports
of hitch in the Panama canal negotiations
Ambassador Porter invited President Bo
to call at the embassy, wheEe they held a
long conference to-day. NJ. 30 maintained
that there is not the slightest obstacle TO
the completion of the transfer of the canal
company's property to the United States
He added that when Messrs. Cromwell and
Russell arrive here the company's expert,
who recently returned to Paris from Pam
anna and is familiar with all the cOmpany's
property there, will be assigned TO join
them, go over the inventories fully and ex-
ecute the details of the transfer. NJ. 30
particularly emphasized the need for con-
Guiding the transfer before April %, say
ing that every formality. legal and other
wise, would be effected before that date.
Concerning the suits against the company
Nj. Bo explained that the one involving
Colombia's right TO hold shares in the COM
pany was wholly question between COlom-
bia and the company. the United States not
being directly or indirectly Interested. Rela-
tive to the suit seeking to prevent the COM
pany from transferring its concessions, on
the ground that Colombia has not given her
ment of securing Colombia's assent ceased
when her sovereignty over the canal route
passed from Colombia to Panama. Fur
thermore, NJ. Bo said the governmental and
legal authorities were ready TO cooperate
and facilitate the transfer.

ARGUMENT UNDER WAY
IN THE CANAL SUITS

PARIS, March 9.-The case of Colombia
against Panama Canal Company came up
again to-day before the first chamber of
the Tribunal of the Seine, NJ Ditto presid-
ing. There are two cases before the court,
the first seeking TO prevent the transfer
of the canal concession to the United States
and the other relative to the right of Col
lombia to hold shares in the company.
The arguments to-day were upon the first
case. Both sides were represented by
strong array of counsel. The opening ar
gument in behalf of Colombia was made by
Maitre CASTOR Brunei. He cited the orig
inal concession requiring the express au-
thorization of Colombia before any trans
Panama did not now exist as a free and
Independent state but was simply revO-
lutionary organization. Moreover, the
rights which Colombia acquired under the
terms of the original concession were in
alienable and could not be taken up by
Panama, even If a regular government ex-
listed. Maitre Du Butt, one of the fore
most advocates in the Humbert proceed
ings, argued for the company. He insisted
on the regularity of the organization of the
government Of Panama. declared all the
rights of Colombia had been extinguished
and said the company was bound to recog-
nize the condition of superior force which
transferred the sovereignty over the canal
route from Colombia TO Panama.

DECISION OF REFEREE
IN DODGE-MORSE SUIT
He Holds that Personal Summons
Was Served on Dodge in the
Original Divorce Action.
EFFECT OF THE RULING

NEW YORK, March civilian G. Da-
vies, the referee appointed to take tesu-
mony in the DOdge-MOrse divorce investi-
cation and to report his opinion as to
whether the summons was served on Dodge
in the original suit, and whether Dodge
authorized Mortimer Ruger to appear for
him as counsel, filed his decision to-day in
which he holds that personal summons was
served on the defendant in New York and
that the attorney appearing was duly au-
thOrzed by the defendant.
Acting on this opinion. Samuel Inter
meyer. counsel for Charles w. Morse, made
an application to-day before Justice Truax
to be heard Friday next to confirm the
referees report.
The decision, if confirmed by the court
will reinstate the Dodge divorce and con-
firm Mr.. Morse's marriage with Mrs. Dodge
This will be followed by an application to
vacate the decree annulling the marriage
between Mr.. Morse and Mrs. Dodge and
their relations as husband and wife will
thus be fully re-established.
The question of whether a person who is
not party to a suit has any standing in
court to make an application as Mr.. Morse
has now made, is novel one. 1t had been
supposed until this decision that only the
parties to the action could be heard. Mr.
Morse, however, interviewed on the ground
that, although not party to the suit his
marital relations were seriously affected by
what was transpiring, and that he was,
therefore, entitled to an opportunity to be
heard
