OPPOSED TO TRIPLE TREATY.
Attitude of Colombian Congress Small
Hope OF European Canal building.

Special CdH> Despatch 10 THR SUN.
PANAMA, June A. Reliable reports from
Bogota are to the effect that a ma iority
OF the members Of the coming Congress
favor the rejection OF the treaty between
Colombia. the United States and Panama
az presented by the Government There
is also a stron tendency in favor OF having
European nations practically participate
in the achievement Of the popular project
for the construction Of the Atrato inter-
oceanic canal planned by Engineer
Undurrage.
1t is generally believed that President
Reyes's suggestion that the discussion
of the tripartite treaty be held in abey-
ance until the Congressional session Of
1910 is inspired by American influence.
Senior Undarrsja. who has just returned
from England. appears disconnected and
considers the carrying out Of his canal
project impracticable under present cir
cumstances. He seems to be inclined to
desist from the furtherance of his propo-
sition He reports that the state of the
present political equilibrium OF European
nations is such that the powerful Amer
lean influence, which is not affected there
by. may determine the balance either

MISS GRIGSRY NEEDN'T PAY
Hut the Appellate III, ision Gives Varying
Reasons for II.

USusOsiN N
Fonr out OF FIVE Justices Of the Appel
late Division OF the Supreme Court gave
different reasons yesterday for affirming
a determination in favor of Emile
Grigsby in the action brought against
her by Milton Schnaier d Co.. plumbing
contractors. to foreclose mechanic g
lien for $S98 for work alleged TO have been
performed in the Park avenue house
presented to Miss Grigsby by the late
Charles T. Yerkes.
The plumbers got Judgment in the
Supreme Court, but it was reversed by
the Appellate Term on the contention
for Miss Grigsby that the plumbers AZ a
corporation were not licensed to do busi-
ness. The plaintiffs got permission to
take the case to the Appellate Division
by stipuating that they would abide by
the judgment entered there
The Schnaier firm pleaded that the law

Justice Patterson. says that this is set
forth in the Building Code and that as
II is merely an ordinance the Court cannot

OF the case.
Justice lngraham says that the plum
bers failed to allege facts sufficient to
constitute cause OF action, because they
didn't say in their complaint that they
had properly registered under the Build
ing Code regulations.
Justice Laughlin agrees with Justice
Scott. but says he doesn't think il was
necessary to plead the provisions OF the
Building Code.
Justice Clarke agreed that it was the
duty Of the corporation to support its
