WILL TRY TO RESUME.
American Street Car Line in Bogots
Put Out of Business.

Information mas reached the State De-
partment that another effort will be made
by the American company controlling q
street railway i'm Bogota. Colombia, TO
operate its lines. Some months ago the
residents Of that city became incensed
against the railroad management and at
tackled it's property. Several riotous
demonstrations were made against the
company and its operatives. These
proved so serious that the local authori-
ties were not able to cope with them
and the street car system temporarily
went out of business.
Appeals for protection against the mobs
were made to the Colombian government.
The company declared that unless ample
protection was furnished by the govern
ment it would expect adequate compen.
sation by the repurchase OF the fran
chise.
The fact that the company has decided
again to attempt to operate its lines is
believed here to indicate that satisfac-
tory arrangements have been made with
the authorities at Bogota and that the
rolling stock and other property OF the
company will be safeguarded.
