SITUATION IN COLOMBIA
SATISFACTION AT ELECTION OF
REYES TO THE PRESIDENCY.

An interesting report has been received
at the Department of State from United
States Consular Agent Granger at Quibdo
in regard to political conditions in Co
lombia. He says the election of Gen. Rafael
Reyes to the presidency Of Colombia has
caused widespread satisfaction. General
Reyes was In Washington during the polit-
lcal upheaval in Colombia which resulted in
tho establishment of the republic of Pan
anna. Mr.. Granger says that General Reyes
friends assert that 'he is the broadcast.
minded. most energetic practical and pro-
gressfve man that has ever held the chief
magistracy of the country General Reyes
knows Colombia as perhaps no other man
knows 1t, and in view of his extended ex-
perlence IN Europe. the United States and
Mexico, 1t Is believed that he will carry out
his program of peace and progress on as
sured lines. The natural results of the con-
hdence in the government even by former
political enemies of President Reyes, are
trade extension and the development of
new industries. Here. in the Choco region,
the imports and exports have increased to,
such an extent as to tax to the utmost the
existing transportation facilities, which will
have to be greatly increased.on the opening
of mule roads, now under construction, to
the neighboring department of Antioquia
and the north of the Cauca valley. 1t is
therefore advisable for American manufac-
turers and exporters to keep their attention
fixed on Colombia rich country whose in
habitants, after passing through the cruel
BILE of civil war and it's attendant semi
.anarchic conditions. are determined to place
their republic in line with modern progress
sive nations.
Although the United States is favored
geographically and byf existing lines OF
communication, Germany is a great COM
petitor. The Germans, besides having
agencies established in most of the trade
centers, send out by far the best travelling
men that come to South America; men who.
besides knowing their lines to perfection,
are masters not only of their own language
but of English and Spanish, and. what is

tai. Chairman Burrows, after brief discus
sion between counsel ruled that arguments

five hours on each side with leave to file
extractions from the testimony 1t had
been expected by the defense to use Sena-
tor-elect George Sutherland as witness,
but after a consultation. before the COM
mittee convened. it was decided TO close
at once. The decision took Judge Tayler
by surprise. and he was not ready TO De
gin his arguments, but said he could begin

chairman agreed to see every member per
sonally and urge them to attend Mr..
Worthington suggested that Judge Tayler
file his brief, and then that the defense be
given time to answer but Judge Tayier
said that if that plan was followed, there
would be no disposition of the case at the
present session of Congress.
1t was finally agreed that Judge Tayler
should open the arguments, and be fol-
lowed by counsel for the defense. Judge
Tayler will then be permitted to close.

Yesterday Afternoons Session.

After The Stars report of proceedings in
the Smoot case was concluded yesterday
afternoon Judge Tayler examined Mr..
Stephens concerning notable instances of
church interference in politics. He gave
the cases of Moses Thatcher's can
didacy when church influence against
Thatcher resulted In the election of Sena-
tor Rawlins: later when President Snow, in
1900 favored the republican electors and
still later when church influences resulted
in the election of Senator Kearns. The wit
ness gave it as his opinion that majority
of Mormons voted intelligently.
Mr.. Worthington put into the record
list of the officers of the church. The
names of those who were admitted to be
polygamists were marked with asterisks.
The list was prepared by church officials
and approved by the first presidency.
At $50 pm. the examination of Senator
Smoot was concluded and he resumed his
seat back of his counsel, which he has
occupied throughout the investigation.
MarOni Gillespie, patrolman in Salt
Lake. Utah, testified that Angus NJ. Can
non. who testified in relation to the alleged
marriage of Abram Cannon and Lillian

house oaths, had been arrested on the
charge of drunkenness. Gillespie said he
was present III court Wnen w dlIlS pledOeu
guilty Wallis had testified when he was
before the committee that he had never
been arrested. In reply to Chairman Bur-
rows the witness refused to divulge the
endowment oath.
William Langton of Salt Lake was re-
called. He was a witness several days ago
and testified that James Wallis, ST., wit
ness who told of the endowment house
ceremonies. could not be believed under
oath. After much argument between coun-
sci, Chairman Burrows permitted the wit
ness to state his reasons for declaring that
Wallis could not be believed. Langton
then said that Wallis had charged him,
for the purposes of eXtortion. with setting
fire to his store, and afterward confessed
that he made the charge because he had
been in communication with the devil. The
statement was made to further discfedit
the testimony of Wallis
David Eccles of Ogden testified that he
had not married Margaret Geddes, who was
on the stand several weeks ago. Charles
Mostyn Owen had testified that Mr. Ec-
cles was reputed to be Mrs. Geddes' hus-
band.
