more, depositions of witnesses on the
part of the defendant had to be taken
in Kansas, and this required time.
These will be taken on November 5th
when the county and prosecuting at.

but little expense connected with the
adjournment. as the members of the
jury are not under pay during the re-
cess of the court.
Anxious to Try Cases.
There were also important civil
cases set after election at my request,
and for about the same reason and be-
u the witnesses could not be oD-
tanned until then. Judge Carpenter to
knowledge, was anxious to try
these cases at once, and consented to
an adjournment Of them simply at the
request Of counsel. 1t will be noted
that such action Is customary in cleo.
ton times. Judge Blair, of blessed
memory, did the same thing once at
the suggestion of attorneys, and l was
m Of them. 1 am informed reliably
that Judge Craig did likewise at the
present term of his court in Carbon
county, and undoubtedly at the request
Of counsel.
Attorneys Did Not Object.
None OF these postponements were
objected to by any of the attorneys,
and no blame can be imputed to Judge
Carpenter on that account. In making
this statement, l do not indulge in any
political controversy, as all Of the can
didates for the judgeship are men Of
probity ana character. and I would not
assail the motives Of any of them.

To the Editor OF The Republican.
The following item appears in the
Boomerang of last Saturday evening:
Carpenter causes the county need
less expense.
"a jury was called in Albany county
on September 81, 1908, for the trial of
criminal and civil cases, at great ex-
pense to the county, both In the way
of mileage and per diem. A few I'M
important criminal cases were tried
and the jury was dismissed and inform.
ed that 1t must come in again on Nov
ember 9 to finish trying said docket.
Thus bringing in the jury twice to try
cases which might have been disposed
Of at one time, is needless expense.
Can it be that District Judge Car
penter considers 1t more important tc
do electioneering for himself than to
perform his duties? Is that the rea
son most OF the cases were postponed
until after election?"
Unjust to Judge Carpenter.

is certainly unjust to Judge Carpenter

DEBATE ON ROADS
AGRICULTURAL BILL PASSES THE
 HOUSE.
Mir. Harrison, Democrat of New York, Attacks Policies of John Sharp Williams, Saying They
 Are S0cialtstic. Ur

Washington, April 2.-Debate on the l agricultural bill was resumed ihne' | diately after the House met today, the subject of governmental aid 10 otats roass arousing a spirited discussion. 1 Mir. Harrison (N. r., DemD, to the apparent surprise of his collea gues. put | to the delight of the Republicans placed himself in rebellion against MT williams, the minority leader. He m weigh ed against the proposition or MT Williams to expend the treasury sur. plus in the construction and repair of roads. maintaining that there was no surplus in the treasury so long as a national debt existed. There was, he said, surplus or daily balance. but no real surplus. MT. Harrison predicted that if MT. Wil- liams's socialistic policy were to pc pursued, the State soon would be ask ing the Federal Government to do eV- erything for them, down to feeding and clothing them."
 Mir Sheppard (Tex.) took issue with MT. Harrison's views that the propo- sition of MT. Williams represented departure from Democratic principles. He cited a bill offered by John c. Cal houn in support of his contention. and as regarded the vetoes of, Presidents Madison and Monroe, he said. they never questioned thd. naked appropria% tion, but their vote was based on the fact that the bill empowered Congress to go further than the act of appro- priation and to participate in the ac- tuaI construction of roads.
 An amendment by MT. Sheppard au- tn orizing the Secretary of Agriculture to cooperate with the Postofiice De- partment :n suggesting methods for the maintenance and improvement Of rural route roads was lost.
 MT. Burleson (Tex.) spoke in sup port of his measure prohibiting gamb- ling in cotton. He read from letters from members of the New York Cotton Exchange and others admitting. should his proposition be enacted into the law, the Exchange would go out of busi- ness.
 The reading of the agricultural ap- propriation bill then was concluded, whereupon MT. Scott. Chairman of the Committee on Agriculture, gave notice that he would ask a separate vote on the amendment increasing by $163, 460 the appropriation for soil investiga- tions. Debate on that subject was re- opened.
 MT. Scott made a vigorous attack on the. chief of the bureau of soils and charged that with all the arts and ar tifices of an expert lobbyist and log roller" he had in his over -zealousness propriation increased.
 The increase having been obtained through an amendment by Mir. Humph- reys (Miss.) that gentleman denied that 1t was the result of any log roll ing" with him. His action in offering the amendments. he declared, was based solely on his own conviction that tho bureaus work should be en- larged.
 The Democrats forced the veax ana nays on Mir. Scott's proposition and fine roll was called. The vote resulted. ayes, 142; nays. 126. The amendment accordingly was retained In the bill.
 As amended the bill was then pass ed. The total amount carried by if is $l1.5oS,So6. being $77.4sO more than as originally reported.

coL0MBIANS HAVE TAKEN POSSES,

GoTernnsept Regards This Action a. |. Cpsus beiii and Trouble Between The Two Countries is

Panama. April 2-Advices received hsre this evening reported that CoIom- bian troops. on March 2s. had invaded the town of Jurado, on the frontier of Panama and Colombia. taking possess sion Of the place, which has always been under Panama's Jurisdiction.
 The advices stated that no resistance has been offered to the Colombians and Jurado was guarded by only five Pan- amanian policemen.
 There is no telegraphie communica- ton between that town and Panama and confirmation of the report of it's invasion by Colombian troops is not possible at present.
 Ricardo Arias, Secretary of Foreign Affairs, said tonight regarding the re- port:
 "Qur government would consider the occupation of Jurado by Colombia as a casus belli."
 On several previous occasions a simi- lar report regarding an invasion by Co., lombian troops had been circulated and tonight, ason the other occasions. citizens of Panama expressed indigna- tion and declared their readiness to sup port the government in whatever act ion 1t deemed necessary.
 meeting will be held tomorrow, called at the instance of the adminis- 'tfation to decide upon what immediate steps are to be taken to dislodge the Colombians from Jurado. if the report proves to be correct. .
 The news has oecasioned more ner- vousness on the part of Colombians re- siding here than to the citizens of this Republic, the former fearing that they may be the first to suffer.

THREATENED MAD DOG
 IS NOW OFFICERS PEI

..r,er. is A mad dog at 21S South 0acatur Street." was the gist of a tele- hone message received at police head- pusrfers at 2:SO o'clock yesterday ar ternoon. The note of pleading Tn the trembling voice was irreslstiole anu Crenarations were immediately made to send an officer to the locality threat sned where irrestrained. the dread ca nine was terrorizing the entire nelsn- borhood.
 Accordingly Of1cer !. l.. Taylor was Aisnafched on the mission of extermi. nating the maddened brute. It Is re- norted that Officer Taylor wanted to Eide in the Lucille to the scene of the alarm. eouipped with fishing hook and line From through the wirework of the enclosing sides of the Lucille. 1t was thought that the unreasoning brute might perhaps be tempted to bite down upon the hook after which 1t would be an easy matter to draw him m the cage of the Lucille and then shoot him through the meshes. The brute would thus be satisfactorily killed and no harm would be done even if he did bite the Lucille. This report has not, however, been verified, and 1t is known that the officer did not go to the threatened locality in the ve- hicle.
 It was a mournful and most socis ble little shepherd dog that Ohhcer Taylor found upon his arrival at 213 Decatur Street All had fled save him alone. That the feelings of the creature were
