Mobile. Ala Jan. 1.-THE American Ranana

Damages in the sum OF S2.21000o have been
asked for by the company.
Tho trouble dates back to the summer OF 1903,
when the Costa Rican government. it is alleged.
Slightly interfered with the surveying of the
company's railroad route. When the United
States government at that time instructed it's
minister to Costa Rica to use his good offices
10 prevent any further interference Costa Rica,
IL is understood. denied having interfered and
oisclaimed right of jurisdiction, being subject
TO the rendering OF the Loubet award of Sep

had for a number of years been in dispute be-
tween the republics of Colombia and Costa Rica,
but under terms OF a special agreement was un-
Ger temporary jurisdiction of Costa Rica.
The dispute submitted to President Lou
oet OF France for arbitration. and his award
liked this territory Colombia's.

GETS WRIT FOR AMMON,
Counsel Seeks Release Because of
ALLEGED Defectire Sentence.

Hudson n. Y. Jan. IA writ OF habeas
corpus directing the warden of Sing Sing Prison
10 produce Robert A. AnInon before him on
next Saturday granted to-day by Justice
Cochrane. in the Supreme Court. on application
of Ammon's counsel. Ammon is now serving a
sentence of four years and six months in Sing
Sing for his connection with the Franklin Syn
dicate.
The purpose of Ammons counsel IL to make
an application to Judge Cochrane for the pris-
oner's release on the ground of an alleged de-
fective sentence. Ammon received an indeter-
inmate sentence, with maximum term of four
years and six months and a minimum term of
four years. He has served fourteen months.
Under his sentence he can apply for his parole
at the end of four years, but his Communication
for good behavior on the maximum sentence of
four years and six months would bring his
lease before his minimum term expired. He
would therefore be entitled to release before he
can be released under the maximum sentence
should he receive Communication on the maximum
term He would also be released in the winter
months which is contrary to the provisions OF
the Penal Code. His counsel holds that Am
mon cannot now be resentenced, and the
ground of these alleged irregularities he will
ask for his immediate release.

CROUDS SEE SESSION.
Premier's Vehement Speech in De-
fence of the Ministry.
Bv ma. Associated Press }

Paris Jan. 14-It was generally expected that
the session Of the Chamber of Deputies to-day
would ~ulr mate in the overthrow of the Min
istry of Premier Combes, and the floors and
gallery were packed by those who desired TO
witness the f1nal struggle The contest against
the Ministry had been slowly gaining ground.
The principal elements of opposition were. first
those combating the policy of Premier Comoes
for separation of church and state; second. those
denouncing the governments collection of secret
reports regarding the lives OF army officers and,
third those complaining of the tardiness OF the
Ministry in passing law creating an income
tax
These various elements sapped the strength OF
the majority until Premier Combes to-day found
himself confronted by rebellion in his own
ranks His speech in closing the three days
debate on the policy of the government was a
vehement defence of his Ministry and denun-
citation of his detractors.
'They are the same men who sought to pro-
tect Esterhazy, who glorihed Colonel Henry and
who now seek 10 arouse the army to the pitch
of attempting coup d'etat." said NJ. Combes
The Premier referred to the celumnies which
had not spared his white hairs He wished time
10 complete the work against the religious as
socations and If the Ministry was retained. he
said. it would proceed to consider the income
tax. workngmen's pensions and the separation
of church and state but that the latter would
be modified so to avoid any spirit OF intoler-
ance. In closing. Premier Combes said:
Il hope tho majority will be maintained IN
order TO carry out this policy. If there is to be
another Ministry it will be of reaction. The
Chamber must choose between marching for
ward aor lending itself to reaction.
