PANAMA AND COSTA RIGA
ARRANGE FOR ARBITRATION
Agents of Two Nations Sign Protocol
on Which Chief Justice Fuller
Will Settle the Boundary
Dispute

WASHINGTON March 20-A pro-
tocol containing a statement of facts
upon which chief Justice Fuller Of the
United States supreme court will ar
bitrate the boundary differences be
tween Costa Rica and Panama has
been signed by Louis Anderson, rep
resentinE Costa Rica and Bellsarlo
Perras, representing Panama.
The credit for the settlement Of this
long standing controversy is due to
Secretary Knox and other officials Of
the state department.
Ever since Colombia and Costa Rica
became Independent Of Spain there has
been a boundary dispute between them.
After many fruitless endeaYors to
reach an agreement a treaty was made
between Costa Rica and Colombia in
1886 submitting the question to the ar
bitration of the king of Spain and upon
his death to the president of France.
The case was brought before President
Faure and after his death was decided
hy President Louhet in September 1900.
Almost Immediately it transpired,
because of the lack of accurate maps,
there was much uncertainty about the
line that had been established. Neith-
er party was satisfied with this award
and the matter remained some time in
allegiance.
In November, 1903, Panama separat-
ed from Colombia ard Of course be-
came heir to the dispute.

FlREMEN's STRIKE SETTLEMENT
STILL FAR OFF, SAYS CARTER

CHICAGO, March 20.-Prospects for
the settlement by federal mediation
of the controversy between $1,000 fire
men on forty-seVen western railroads
and the railroad managers are said
by w. S. Carter, president of the fire
mems union, to be remote.
I'VE have had four days of argu-
ment and we seem to be no nearer a
settlement than when we began" said
Mr.. Carter. THE railroads still re-
fuse to arbtrate the points in dispute
which they say are questions only of
discipline and authority, and are not
arbitrable. When we agreed to lay
our case before the federal mediators
it was with the distinct understanding
that action would be swift and we
hoped to have an adjustment within
forty-eight hours. We declared at that
time that our vote to strike was not
annulled and we still stick to that
view. We have the power to call a
strike unless something is done soon"
United States Commissioner Of La
Dor Neill heard arguments from the
men today and it is expected will hear
more arguments tomorrow.

WAY TO END LIFE
Old Man Who Seeks Death in San
Diego Is Believed to Be from
Los Angeles
Especial to The HeraldI

SAN DIEGO, March 2O.-After re-
moving all traders, marks and papers
which would identify him, sJhn Ben
son or ToWneson, 60 years of age, suf-
foring from partial paralysis, starya-
tion and a nervous disorder, walked to
the bay front at the foot Of l. street
this afternoon with the intention Of
casting himself into the bay.
Exhausted from his efforts he col
lapsed within few feet Of the water
and was turned over to the police, who
later arranged for his care in the Help
ing Hand home.
Unable to speak as a result of the
paralysis the man wrote the name of
John Towneson. changing it later to
Benson, but refused to state where his
home was. BY signs he indicated that
he chose drowning in preference to
cutting his throat because of his weak
cncd state which might prevent the
successful termination of the latter
course. 1t is believed by the police
that nc is from Los Angeles as he
was first noticed here three days ago,
shortly after the arrival of the train
from the north. Benson is 3 feet 4
inches tail, heavy set, with sparse gray
hair, gray beard and mustache.

VARIOUS FACTORS
DISTURB MARKET
TIGHTER MONEY AND LABOR
TROUBLES POTENTIAL
Decrease in Europe's Visible Supply
of Copper Is Helpful to the
Sentiment in That
Trade
LAssociated Pressl

NEW YORK. March 20.-Last weeks
money and stock markets were un-
settled by number of disturbing fac
tors, principal Of which were the tight
ening money market and the threats
of labor troubles. The rise in money
rates has its special Importance for the
New York stock market at this time,
owing to the large numbers of new
bond issues coming on the market.
subscriptions for the bonds already
issued have their place in causing the
rise in money rates.
The weeks advance in the Bank Of
England rate to 4 per cent has other
causes back of it, especially the money
needs of India by reason of trade eX-
pansion and the disordered British gov
ernment finances.
The effect of the rise in the bank
rate. is dreaded in New York for the
possible interference with foreign sub
scriptions to American bond issues.
The country's foreign trade for Feb
ruary showed an excess value of i'm
ports for the first time in that month
since 1895. In order to overcome this
advantage, it may be necessary to
scale down offered prices on new Sc
curities to attract foreign investment,
with depressing sympathetic effect on
existing securities, or to lower prices
of our commodities in order to turn
the balance of foreign trade in our
favor again.
The strike order issued to firemen
and enginemen on western railroads in
duced considerable selling of stocks
until steps were taken to enlist the
mediation of the government The re-
covery that followed in the stock
market was accompanied by profess
sions Of confidence among operators in
stocks that the forthcoming decision
of the supreme court i'm the American
Tobacco case would be in favor of the
corporation
The amount of winter damage to the
wheat crop was the subject of compu-
tation, with growth of favorable
opinion on the promise of the crop as
a whole.
Another decrease in the European
visible supply Of copper helped senti-
mcnt in that trade.

SAN FRANCISCO, March 20.-When
the police stopped the worlds cham
pionship Marathon dance here this af-
ternoOn, after six of the contestants
had been dancing fifteen hours and six
minutes. a storm of protest arose from
the 5000 spectators in the pavilion, and
a riot was prevented only by the de-
teTmined manner in which the Dlue-
coats handled the crowd.
The worlds long distance dancing

Doctors. who were in the audience,
advised the police against 1t. Lieu
tenant of Police Helms and Corporal
Moriarity stepped into the ring and
ordered a halt. The orchestra stopped
playing, but the feet of the contestants
kept moving.
Corporal Moriarty and Joseph Hart
man. one OF the participants in the
dance. engaged in an alteration and
Hartman was elected from the hall.
This brought the boots of the crowd
and hundreds surged into the ring.
Helms and his men cleared the dane
ing platform and the five remaining
dancers were carried away to the
dressing rooms.
and three couples finished. The dancing
began three minutes after the midnight
hour last night and the official record
shows that the event was over at nine
minutes past 8 o'clock this afternoon.
Probably the most remarkable fea-
tura of the performance was the forti-
tude of j. A. West, who is 50 years old
Although at times during the night it
seemed that his struggle to continue
was slowly killing him, he waved his
seconds aside when they asked him ia
stop and kept it up. Vests partner IN
the dance was Miss Eva Welch, 1f
years of age,
The others who finished are Esther
and Joseph Hartman, professional
Hungarian dancers, and Fred Bandicci
and Pearl GRAND.
Ida Meccha, who was forced to re-
tire when she had danced twelve hours
and forty-four minutes, was found Ia
have a pulse beat Of $50.
IT is likely that tho authorities will
prohibit ropotitions of tho contests.
