from Denver There, it is said he sent
TO another uncle in Mexico letter which
included a separate one, which was
mailed by the uncle to friend in Bos-
ton In this manner it was generally
believed Davie was in Mexico.
Davies mother declared tonight that
she knew nothing whatever about the
report that her son was coming back.

alleged that she had been swindled out
of more than $1,000 by him.
Bankruptcy proceedings have already
been started against him, and there are
other legal entanelements he must face.

ALIENS RIGHT IN PANAMA
Government Would Regret Acquisition
of Timber Lands bY Foreigners.

Washington. Dec. 23.-In answer to an
inquiry by the State Department as to the
exact effect Of recent legislation in Panama
regarding foreign ownership of lands in
the republic, it is learned that the decree
simply removes a prohibition on the hold
ing Of lands by aliens whose governments
do not permit Panamans to hold lands in
their countries. AS many American states
prohibit alien landlordship, Americans un-
DER the old law would be una bic to secure
title to lands in Panama This situation is
met by the new legislation.
There is no information at the State De-
partment TO indicate the existence of a
plan for the wholesale acquisition Of land
in Panama by foreigners. The depart
ment. however, has let II be known 70 the
government of Panama that it would view
with regret any wholesale and inconsider-
ate disposal of the timber lands in the re-
public to foreign syndicates. The objec-

NEW RESCUE BY GRESHAM
Revenue Cutter Has Unknown
Schooner in Tow.

Vineyard Haven, Mass, Dec. S--The
revenue cutter Gresham to-day took in
tow from Great Point. Nantucket. an un-
known schooner with which she proceeded
north headed probably for Boston. Efforts
to communicate with the Gresham by wire
less were futile up to midnight, although
fragments of conversation by the
Gresham's operator were picked up at
various wireless stations along the coast.
From none of these points could the
identity of the schooner which the
Gresham has in tow be learned. 1t is not
improbable that she is the schooner
Thomas B. Gasland. which ran aground at
Great Point during the blizzard of week
ago. the crew of which was taken off by
life savers.
