Panama to Colombia, arrived here yes

mission is to negotiate peace between
Colombia and Panama. The president
here is opposed to such treaty.
Recent dispatches from Panama stated
that President Arosemena had asked
President Restrepo, of Columbia, If he
would receive a bearer Of confidential
commissioner from Panama, and that
the Colombia executive had responded
that he would be glad to do so. 1t was

Cecil S. Grace, the amateur aviator who

success. r
The only development this afternoon
was an uncomfrmed rumor current at
Amsterdam that an aeroplane had been
picked up in the North sea. 1t was said
to be without a pilot.
Grace had flown from Dover to Calais
and was heading back for the English
shore when, apparently, he lost his bear

ings and instead of continuing to Dover
steered his aeroplane to the northeas;
and over the North sea. Efforts to find
him on land or water have continued
ceaslessly since Thursday evening.
1t is feared the gasoline became ex-
hausted before he got his true reckonings
and. the aviator persisted in the sea.
There was still hope today that he had
been picked up by a passing vessel, but
if such was the case word of the rescue
should have been received by this time
and friends of Grace and the thousands
who are interested in his career as
sportsman fear the worst.
