A NIGHT SESSION.
Federal Justice Hears Arguments on
Presidents Right to Discharge Soldiers.

New York, May 4.-For more than
three hours tonight, Judge Hough in
the United States district court liS-
tened to arguments bearing upon the
right of President Roosevelt to sum-
marily dismiss the battalion of negro
soldiers of the 25th Infantry for al
legged participa ton in the Brownsville
riot
The argument was on a demurrer to
a portion of the answer of the gov
ernment in the action begun by Pri-
vate Oscar w. Reid to recover $122,
which represented his wages as SOL
dier from the date of his dismissal
without honor and the date of the eX-
piration of his enlistment. The suit
was commenced in the federal courts
of this district. To the complaint filed
in behalf of Private Reid, United
States District Attorney Simpson re-
turned q general denial and as an ad-
ditional defence, contended the Pres
ident has right to dismiss the SOL
diers and referred to the reports of
the various army inspectors recon-
mending such action. These reports he
had made portion of the record of
the case. It was to this part of the
governments answer that Chase Mel
len. counsel for Private Reid, de-
INJURED. ..
Counsel Mellen held that the enlist
ed men were protected by constitution
al rights which the President had not
the power to ignore, even as COM
mander-in- chief of the army and navy.
the enlistment operating legally az a
civil contract between the soldiers and
the government. The power of removal,
the attorney contended, was actually
vested in Congress, which created the
army and navy and the President as
commander in chief possessed in times
of peace only the power to approve the
congressional act. United States Dis
trict Attorney Stimson insisted that
the power had been vested in the ma
tional Chief Executive to dismiss COM
missioned officers of the army and
navy since the government began. He
said that he could not see therefore,
how enlisted men could be surrounded
by such constitutional safeguards that
even the commander i'm chief could
not act against them if he deemed it
proper for the betterment and moral
good of the service.
Briefs are to be submitted by the
attorneys in the case by Wednesday,
and Judge Hough said he would take
the matter UP at the end Of the week.

Washington. May 4.-Secretary Met

Carthagena. Colombia. May 4.-The
government of Colombia has reason to
believe that the government at Pan
anna is intriguing with Venezuela to
declare war upon this country. 1t is
known that the occupation of Jurado,
which is on the Atrato river. the boun-
Diary line between Panama and Colon
bia, has angered the Panama govern
nnnt
The occupation of Jurado was, done
on the advice of the American govern
ment which held that it was clearly
within Colombian territory The atti-
-tude of the government of Panama
has given the United States a good
deal Of solicitude. One of Sec. Taft's
chief missions to Panama is to try and
adjust the matter 1t is believed that
the American government is aware of
the effort Of Panama to induce Vene-
Zuela to make war upon Colombia.

TROUBLE IN STORE?
Venezuela and Panama Cast Longing
Eyes At Colombian Territory.

New York, May 4.-Passengers who
have Just arrived in New York from
Savinalla, Colombia, bring news of the
presence of President Reyes at Santa
Marta, a Colombian seaport of the
Goajira peninsula, over toward the
Venezuelan frontier line. During the
absence of General Reyes, his brother
ir-law, General Angulo, is acting as
President of the republic.
News of the generals presence on
the coast came as surprise of the Co
lombians in New York, for despite re-
ports from Panama that he had left
the capital it was ont 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 conf
dent with regard to the maintenance of
peace in Colombia, for otherwise he
would not have left the administration
of affair in the hands of General An
gulo, who is not popular man. has
few friends and cannot control either
the country or the political parties and
factions with the strong hand that
Gen. Reyes has applied SO successful
ly since coming to the Presidency.
Two boundary disputes enter into
the situation that. appears to be de-
veloping on the southern shore of the
Caribbean. Castro wants a strip of Co
lomban 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 rev.
olution of 19O3 of certain territory
To rsv x.,I,i inl, iy,os 1ns.
the town of Jurado. Venezuela's claim
Or rather demand, is that. Colombia
ceded her material part Of the Goajira
peninsula, down the center of which
the present boundary now runs, as
well as a certain area in the vicinity
of Cucula. She wants to get possession
of railroad which runs from Cucula
to Encontrados, where connection is
had with the Venezuelan line running
northerly to Maraciabo.
On the other hand, Panama is claim
ing an extension of her boundary.
While this state was still a component
part Of the. Republic of Colombia, the
boundary between the states ran from
Cape Tiburon sottherly down the
crest of the Serre Nique, the Sierre
Malt and the Cordillera De Los Andes
to the Pacific. This was the boundary
line in 1903. The Atrato river and Ku-
RADIO lie to the east of it; in other
words according to this boundary
they belong to Colombia. Panama, it is
declared, desires to extend her terri
tory holdings to embrace a section of
the Atrato river and an area of terri
tory which includes Jurano. Panama,
it is declared, would like to embroil Co
lcmbia with Venezuela on the eastern
frontier. for such an outcome would
give her better chance to force her
claims for territorial extension on the
western frontier.

The Only Laxative
Used by Those Who Know

People never use harsh physic after
they know what it does.
That gripping and pain are symptoms
that the bowels are irritated.
You have come to think, perhaps, that
such effects are necessary, else you
would never endure them.
But they are not; they are wicked.
That irritation of the stomach is the
cause of nearly all dyspepsia.
That irritation of the bowels-causing
the lining to callous-is the cause
of constipation.
Cascarets bring the same results with
out injury.
They never gripe-never pain. They
are as harmless as laxative foods.
Salts and pill cathartics increase the
trouble that you seek to cure.
