NO RIVAL CANAL;
GRANT ABANDONED
Lord cowdray Surrenders oil
Concessions Obtained by
British interests.

| LONDON, Nov. 26.-The oil and
Murray of Elibank in the Republic
of Colombia, where he went on be-
half of the Pearson concern, have
been surrendered by Lord Cowdray,
who decided today to abandon all ef-
forts to carry through the proposed
exploitation.
In confirming the report of the
abandonment of the oil and other con-
cessions in Colombia, Lord Cowdray
today said to the Associated Press:
''Our application for a Colombian
oil concession has been withdrawn by
Lord Murray. Of Elibank. He took
this action when he saw that the re-
quest for a concession was being used
to stir up American opposition to the
Pearson interests. I have just been
informed of this action, which was
taken on Lord Murray's own initia-
tive. Our withdrawal is definite and
absolute"
WASHINGTON. Nov. 26.-The con-
cessions sought from the Colombian
government, but which were not
finally granted, as they had not re-
ceived the sanction of the Colombian
Congress, apparently would have
given the Pearson concern indiscrim-
mate right to construct harbor works
and canals, in connection with the ex-
ploitation of Colombian oil deposits.
The contract was signed by Lord
Murray in Bogota, April "a last, and
was approved by President Reetrepo
and his cabinet.
1t was intimated that the grant
would give the British interests,
closely allied with the British govern
ment itself, a right to build an inter-
oceanic canal by way of the Atrato
and Cupica rivers. 1t was also as
serted that the American government
would consider the building of such a
canal as a violation of the Monroe
doctrine. The state department has
been Investigating the extent of the
proposed concession.
Some officials attached Significance
to such negotiations between Colom-
bia and a British concern at time
when the United States and Colombia
were involved in dispute over the
partition of Panama. Roberto An
CHAR. who recently arrived here as
secretary of the Colombian legation,
announced recently that Colombia
would hereafter grant no monopolis-
tic concessions Of any sort.

formation that nearly one thousand

none of their trains and few, If any
cannon, and that General Salvador
Mercado, the commander, Is arranging

That the rebels defending Juarez

from the federals as past, was evi-

Unsettled Weather for

Promise of FOrecaster

Unsettled weather was the best
Principal William Wiener, Of the Gen.
tral High School, could promise for
Thanksgiving Day.
1.-THE chances are that it will clear
up and be fair" he said this after
noon, "but it is hard to say. There
is every likelihood of unsettled wealth
er. If 1t rains hard during the night,
Thanksgiving will be clear, but the
wind isn't very strong"
Snow is very remote possibility
and there is little prospect that to-
morrow will be an old-fashioned
Thanksgiving. The temperature will
probably be mild with occasional
showers. Light to moderate west to
north winds will prevail.
The temperature at 3 a. m. today
was 80 degrees, at o'clock, 40, and
at noon, so. The humidity was high,
rising from 58 at z to 70 at noon.
Yesterday the highest temperature
was as and the lowest 3S. A year
ago today the maximum was A and
| the minimum 80.
