TROUBLE WITH COSTA RIGA.
American Banana Company Asks
Uncle Sam to Settle 1t.

Mobile, Ala. Jan. 1.-THE Amer.
lean Banana company through L. H
Mcconnell of Mobile, has asked the
state department at Washington to
intervene in their behalf on account
of alleged interference by the Costa
Rican government with the fruit COM
pany's planting, railroad building and
other operations in the territory now
belonging to Panama, but at one time
under the jurisdiction of Costa Rica,
and have asked for damages in the
sum of $2s21O,O0O.
The matter is now before the state
department at Washington. The trou-
BILE dates back to the summer of 1908,
when ths- Costa. Rican governmen ent. it
is alleged, slightly interfered with the
surveying of the cOmpany's railroad
route, but when the United States gov
ernment at that time instructed its
ministed to Costa. Rica. to use his good
Offices to prevent any further inter
ference, Costa Rica- it is understood,
denied having interfered and dis
claimed right of jurisdiction subject
to the rendering Of the Loubet award
on September II, 1900. Prior to that
date the territory had for a number
of years been in dispute between the
republics of Colombia and Costa, Rica,
but under terms of a special agree
ment was under temporary jurisdic-
ton of the latter. That dispute was
submitted to President Loubet of
France for arbitration and his award
14Ae0 ILLS lCII1LO4y dS OOiOIAOld
After Costa Rica had in November,
1903, disclaimed the right of jurisdic-
ton and under that disclaimer Mr.
Mcconnell continued his work by
planting fruit and preparation for
building the railroad and improving
the port of Gandocan. The latter
part of July, 1904, the Costa Rica
government, it is alleged, sent an arm
ed force to Gandocan and intercepted
a valuable cargo of railway supplies,
and after permitting the discharge of
the greater portion of the cargo, con-
fscated the portion so discharged and
stopped all railroad and other work
at Gandocan.
The Costa Rican government is still
in control of the territory and con-
tinues to prevent the progress of
work. it is said, although the Panama
which succeeded to this
territory, through its cession from
Colombia, has declared it's sovereign
ty' and right of jurisdiction and has
since in an official communication to
Mr.. Mcconnell submitted his right of
possession.

lola and Eugene Bramlet of Mineral.
the legislative committee of the State
Society of Labor are meeting in the
city, and some of the members of the
committee will probably be here until
the close Of the session, looking after
bills in which the society is interested.
The society viii have a child labor
law, an arbitration law. and several
laws concerning thes safety provisions
at the coal mines.
H. W. Grass. of Rush county. is the
author of an important bill calculated
TO give the independent or farmers
elevator people a fair show in compe
tition with the railroad elevators. AS
are often unable to secure sidetracks
to their elevators, because the railroad
companies refuse to locate switches,
and also refuse to allow the elevator
to be built on their right of way.
The Grass bill requires that the rail-
road company shall, upon written ap-
plication, designate the place where
a sidetrack may be located at any
point where an elevator of not less
than 5000 bushels capacity may be
located not more than one-fourth mile,
from regular way station. If the
company does not desire to do this, it
upon its right of way, and shall re-
ceive fair compensation therefor.
The bill makes the board OF railroad
commissioners the arbitrators be-
an elevator and the railroad COM
panies.
An immense amount of work is rep
resented IN the bill introduced by J.
W. Montee of Crawford county, on the
subject of state road commissioner.
The bill proposes to create the Office
of state road commissioner at a salary
of $4,000 a year and travelling ex-
=penses, whose duty it shall be to con-
suit with and advise farmers and 9TH
ers in regard to the best methods of
road construction The bill is long
one, and goes into detail as to the
work which the commissioner is ex-
pected to do.
The ways and means committees of
the two branches of the legislature
will hold a joint session within a
short time for the purpose of talking
over the appropriations for the state
institutions. The two committees pro-
pose to get up the miscellaneous ap-
preparation bill early in the session
SO that Governor Hoch will have time
to check it over and make some sug-
gestions if necessary.
A. G. Meade of Mitchell county
will present bill taking all the school
lands off the market. This is in line
with the recommendations in Gov
ernor Hoch's message.

C. A. McCredy Declares Murdered Woman
Drew No Money from Bank.

Charles A. McCredy. the brother Of Miss Cath
crime McCredy. who murdered in her villa at
Caserta on February 25 intimated to Tribune re-
porter yesterday that the belief Of the average
Italian peasant that all American visitors are
wealthy and carry money about with them might
furnish motive for his sisters death. Aside from
his reading in the newspapers. he knew nothing
Of the reported arrest OF barber named Innico in
connection with the case. Mr.. McCredy added:
Contrary the reports. Miss McCredy had not
withdrawn any $1,000 from the bank short time
before her death, and il is probable she had about
her only a few dollars, sufficient for her i'm
mediate needs. base this assertion on the state
ment I have received from the Naples bank Of her
account The matter is in the hands Of the
Italian government and the United States Consul
at Naples 1t is probable that the State Depart
ment will receive any news there may be before
