NO OMNIBUS ACT
THE CLAIMS BILL WILL NOT BE
 PASSED.
Democrats and Republicans are Aroused Oyer Jeopardy of Measure--Mr. s-.+ Burnett Presents New Court BiIi.

Washington. May. 4-tS )-Much doubt is expressed today regarding the passage this, session of the omnibus" claims bill, in which the South has a decided interest.
 Chairman Fulton of the Claims Com mittee has made the proposition in spite of an adverse stand taken by the Republican steering committee. that the measure shall pass If Senators will agree to offer no further amendments, but no agreement along th eee lipcs seems now probable, for many Senators say they would just as soon have the bill go over until next winter when amendments probably will be accepted without much, If any, opposition.
 As the bill passed the House. Ala bama was allowed twelve claims and the Senate Committee added eleven additional 0Nes for the States.
 Senators Bankhead and Johnston have about as many more they would like to have included in the bill.
 The talk today is that the public buildings bill will probably not be permitted to pass the House this sss- sion. The situation has caused quite a commotion among members of both parties. and they are said to be devising means to bring pressure upon the Re- publican leaders to permit the meas ure to go through.
 Representative Burnett introduced to- day a bill providing for the establish ment of the Middle Division of the Northern Judicial District Court of Alabama. to be composed of the coun- ties of Oh erokee. DeKalb, Marshall, Eto- wah, St. Clair and Blount. and that terms of the Circuit and District Courts of the proposed Middle District shall be held at Gadsden; provided, h. 1aS FfaA Aan commodations shall be furnished free to the Government untilta public build ing shall be provided by Congress.

Prohibition Appears to Have Deereas
 

Birmingham, May 4.-(Special.)--Th jail record for the month of April shows the effect of prohibition in Jef- ferson County.
 According to figures compiled by Ed ward Newman. the day warden at the jail. there were 126 less prisoners put behind the bars during the month just passed than the same month last year, These figures apply only to State and county prisoners every month finding from six to a dozen Federal prisoners behind the bars.
 On April 1, 1907. there were 273 pris- oners in the county jail. On April 1. this year, there were 177 prisoners in jail. These figures speak for them selves hut the records show that noth ing like as many were arrested and those familiar with the sheriff's office know that the army of deputies is all ways on the lookout for violators of the law. In April. 1907. there were ssi prisoners admitted to the prison and during April, this year. only sss were locked up.

BOUNDARY DISPUTES
COLOMBIA AND PANAMA ARE AT
 OUTS
President Reyes of C0lOmbIa ia at Santa Marta and JuradO Is Now Occupied by COlOmb bian
 TrOaua

New York, May 4.-PAssAngers who have just arrived In New York from Savlnalla. Colombia, bring news of the presence of President Reyes at Santa Marta, a Colombian seaport on the Goajida peninsula, over toward the Venezuelan frontier line.
 During the absence of General Reyes from Bogota, his broth CT -in-law, Gen eral Angulo, Is acting as President of the republic. The newa of the gem erals presence on the coast came as a surprise to Colombans in New York. for in spite of reports from Bogota and Panama that he had left the capi- tai, it was not believed that he would dare to venture away. The fact that he has come down to the coast Is taken to mean that he is very confident with regard to the maintenance of peace of Colombia as otherwise he would not have left the administration of affairs In the hands of General Anguilo, who is not a popular man. Just why Gem eral Reyes has come down to the coast cannot be stated with auth ority, but he doubtless has been impelled to take this step by reason of considerable Inn portance His presence at Santa Mar ia Is said to be connected with the Ju- rado incident. the occupation of this little town claimed by both Colombia and Panama and recently occupied by Colombian troops.
 Two boundary disputes enter into the situation that appears to be develop ing on the southern shore of the Car rlbbean, Castro wants a strip of Co., lonbian territory on the east and Pan anna. according to the Colombians who came into port today, is seeking to de- spoil Colombia. of which republic she was a State before the successful revo- lution of 1903, of certain territory along the Atrato river which includes the town of Jurado Venezuela's claim. or rather demand. is that Colombia cede hsr a very material part of the Joajira neninsuIa down the center of which the present boundary now runs. as well as a ter.ain area in the vicinity af Cucuta to Encentrados wnere connec- running northly to Maraeaibo.

RAWHIDE WANTS ROAD
into The MASON
VALLEY

Toe Holland, the genial Wabnska bon
;f,ce is spending a few days in Reno
looking for help. The facinations of
Wabuska soon pail on the lover of the
heanties of nature, and the grandeur of
the scenery in that part of Nevada is so
GREAT and the loneliness of landscape so
manifold. that even the most ardent adj
uirer of the picturesque becomes sur
feited with the excuses of the feast of
the eye.
Toe says that the thing which most en-
crosses the attention of the Wabuskans
at present is the building of road TO
Rawhide The people of that camp are
fairly pining for an outlet into Mason
Valley, and if they don't get it, trouble
l. bound to ensue They prefer Mason
Valley to Schurz for malIy reasons. but
one in particular is that Schurz being sit
mated on the Indian reservation. whisky
is not permitted there, and the men of
Rawhide, being natural born miners,
always travel with a thirst that
proves an excellent substitute for suit
case. sometimes accommodating heav-
Ter load than any normal suitcase could
carry.
Mr.. Holland has visited Rawhide sew
eral times and SAYS that it is without a
doubt one OF the most wonderful camps
ever thrown down on the footstool.
Superior TO Goldfeld at this or any
other age, Is the way he puts it. And
this, despite the fact that the mines Of
Rawhide are only down 50 feet at the
deepest Reno Journal.
