BOGOTA, Colombia, February 22.-Gen.
Pedro del Ospina, Colombian minister to
the United States, was recalled by the
Colombian government this morning.
The action of the Colombian govern
ment was taken because neither it nor
the Colombian people uphold the posi-
tion taken by the Colombian minister at
Washington in notifying the State De-
partment that the visit to Colombia of
Secretary of State Knox would be inop-
perfume. owing to the fact that ColOm-
bias claims in connection with Panama
have not yet been arbitrated.
The notification given by the Colombian
government today says that Gen. Ospina
is Separated from his post at Washing
ton and that the incident between Colom-
Dia and the United States is thus closed.
Colombia. it continues, will maintain
her international policy.

LOOKED like A WHITE
SLAYER TRICK; BAtkED

Winona, August 15.-What is be-
lieved to have been an attempt to
lure a young woman to Chicago,
there to become a white slave, was
frustrated by a Northwestern rail.
road conductor.
According to the story told by a
passenger who witnessed the affair,
Mrs. Eunice Dot, young woman
OF twenty and her infant child,
were on their way from Lewiston,
this county, to Norwalk, where she
was going for visit with her grand
parents, whom she had not seen
since she was five years old.
Somehow she ran out of funds
and did not have money enough to
pay her fare to Norwalk, SO she ex-
planned her plight to the conductor
and he agreed to let her stay on the
train until she reached that village.
While she was telling her story the
conductor noticed a well dressed
young fellow in the seat just behind
the woman who seemed to be taking
a lively interest in the recital of her
trouble, but nothing was thought of
it at the time.
An Offer of Aid.
Coming through the car some
time later the conductor noticed
that the fellow had engaged the
woman in conversation, and he ar.
rived opposite them just in time to
see the man attempt to force a roll
of bills into the young woman's
hands. AS he had taken a kindly
interest in the girl because of her
plight, he stopped and asked her
what was going on. She then told
the conductor that the fellow had
insisted on talking to her and was
urging her to 60 to Chicago with
him, offering to provide her with all
the money she wanted, and insisted
that she take the roll of bills.
The conductor having noticed a
Norwalk man on the train whom he
knew-Elmer Mem, an automobile
dealer and well known business man
of that village, went to him and ask.
ed him if he was acquainted with
the young wOman's grandparents
He said that he was, and agreed to
see that she reached their home.
Shaken Up BY Conductor.
When the train reached Norwalk
and the woman started to leave the
car, the man who had endeavored
to entice her to go to Chicago with
him attempted to keep her from get
ting off and even grabbed her by
the arm in an attempt to hold to
her, but the conductor had come in
to the car for the purpose of seeing
her safely off, and he handled the
fellow rather roughly.
1t was the train officials intention
to have. the man arrested when he
reached the end of his run, but the
fellow slipped off at one of the sta
tons along the way without being
noticed. His name was not learned.
