The Public Ignorant Of 0spina

LITTLE IS SAID OF KNOX
A Panama Settlement Is Greatly De

Bogota, Colombia, Feb. 22.--The action
of General Pedro Mel Ospina, Colombian
minister to the United States, in notify
ing the state department at Washington
that the visit to Colombia of Secretary
of State Knox would be inopportnne
owing to the fact that Colombia's claims
in connection with Panama had not yet

An Investigation is Considered
Inevitable
CONGRESS DECIDES TOACCEPT
Prize Notwithstanding Committee to
Conduct Inquiry-Action Might
Tend to Clear Financial
Situation.

Washington, Feb. 22.--Congress has
adjusted itself to the idea of having an
investigation of the system of credit
which, it is claimed, gives the control OF
the 'money trust" into the hands of a
few. Those members who two months
ago were ridiculing the resolution intro
duced by Representative Lindbergh last
July are of the opinion that an inves-
tigation would clear the air, educate the
public and in the long run prove to be
the best recommendation which the Al
drich scheme could have. Representative
Weeks, one of the trainers of the cur
rency bill, has thus summarized the sit
uation:
On Saturday the Puio resolution will
be reported to the House, and as things
appear at present, the House will then
take final action. The resolution will
provide for hearings held by the commit
tee on banking and currency, who eX-
press themselves as "desirous" OF in
formation relative to the alleged money
trust. 1t is pointed out by those who
were disappointed at the failure OF the
Lindbergh and Henry resolutions to OBJ
tain the approval of the Underwood
forces that the Pujo draft does not con-
fer any unusual power upon the COM
nfittee charged with the Investigation,
that the committee is not instructed to
report to the House, that in short, there
is nothing but the force of public opin-
ion to insure a thorough and exhaustive
inquiry.
In the interval between now and Sat
uxday, efforts will be made to urge the
files committee to change the cbarac-
ter of the resolution by inserting a
clause making more drastic the provisos,
1t is expected that the bitter feeling
now progressing under cover will be car
ried to the floor of the House, provided.
of course, the steam roller" which has
proved so efficient this session in shut
ting off undesired debate, is not called
into service.

Baltimore, Md, Feb. 22.-That the

threatened this country last summer, 80
quietly was the work of prevention Of

here. meteorological examination of
steerage passengers from infected ports
resulted in the discovery of thirty-fve
persons afflicted with cholera and TWEEN
ty-seven cholera bacillus carriers. "Had
they not been discovered said DR.. Kerr,
they would in all probability have es-
tablished foci of infection and thus have
given rise to a serious epidemic" Sur
geon-General Rupert Blue made Il plea
for increased federal appropriations to
enable the public health service to ex-
tend its activities in relation to the
control of preventabe diseases.

Conservation of Natural Gas.

The much discussed waste of natural
gas is stated by the United States geo.
logical survey to be rapidly decreasing.
The problem of conserving the natural
gas supply may be considered as having
been satisfactorily solved in Pcnnsylya-
mia. throughout the Appalachian and the
Lima Indiana fields, and in Kansas. The
greatest waste is in Oklahoma and in the
Caddo field of Louisiana, owing in Okla
homa to probable looseness in enforce
ment of the laws and in Louisiana to
lack of market. 1t is noteworthy that
one of the two wild wells in Louisiana
that have been sensational examples of
waste have been successfully closed and
the gas thus conserved for future use.
