COLOMBIA AGAIN PROTESTS
Objection Taken to Roosevelt's 5
Self Justification.

Washington. Nov 25.-The Presidents OF
all the South AScrican republics have re-
ccivcd copies of resolution adopted by
the Colombian Congress. protesting
against the recent public declaration OF
former President Roosevelt In Buenos
Ayrcs, that his action I'm 1903 I'm the CO.
lombia-P Panama matter had been right.
The resolution declares that the Colon
bian Congress interpreting public opin-
ion and on guard for the rights OF the
nation. protests against any public ap-
proval given 20 the loss OF the Colombian
province Of Panama, done in 1893 by Pres
ident Roosevelt, according to his own con-
fession."
This protest" the declaration adds, lis
based upon such public approval being
unjust. az II supports manifest violation
OF the law OF nations and IL is unworthy.
as II authorizes an enormous attack by
n government extremely powerful against
a nation which lacks such strength. II
Is imprudent because IT justihes "A policy
contrary to the interests and rights OF
Latin American nations, and mischievous
for the action OF justice. as II stands In
opposition TO the actual attitude OF the
government and people of the United
States. who profess to be animated by the
very different sentiments of equity and
international friendship"

TELEPHONE MERGER
PLAN TO END WAR
Violation of Pledges by Bell
System Declared to Have
Ended Negotiations.

Chicago, Nov. 25.-An immense sum-
in telephone profits has been lost to the
telephone companies of this country by
obstructive competition" between inde-
pendent systems and the American Tele-
phone and Telegraph Company. The pub
lie has prohted by the warfare. and II
was TO put an end to this situation that 4
800 100000 merger was proposed by the
American company. backed by the Nor
gan financial power.
This was the substance of the testi-
mony here to-day of Ernest B. Fisher.
secretary OF the Citizens Telephone Com
pany, OF Grand Rapids. Mich, at the
hearing I'm the government antitrust suit
against the American company. Mr.
Fisher said the merger proposition was
put into words by Theodore ~ Vail.
president of the American company, and
that II. u. Dawson. of the firm OF j. +.
Morgan & Co. told the sixty or seventy
Independent telephone men gathered to
hear IL that ''the house of Morgan was
prepared to guarantee the financing of
any proposition made by the American
company.
Mr. Fisher said he had opposed the
proposition as improper" and financially
bad. Telephone rates rise to unjustified
proportions as soon as competition is
eliminated, he said.

Bill Would Bar All Stale
Foodstuffs from Inter-
state Commerce.
TRUST BLAMED FOR
HIGH LIVING COST
Representative Mcclellan Would
Prevent Storage of Products
More than Ninety Days.
fFrom The Tribune Bureau.l


Washington. Nov 25-With the conven-
ing OF the regular session on Monday
pressure will be brought upon the House
Committee on Interstate and Foreign
Commerce to begin an immediate investl-
cation of the cold storage trust and
the cost OF living problem. Representa-
tive McKellar, who has introduced Dill
to bar from interstase commerce all food
stuns kept in cold storage longer than
ninety days, announced to-day that he
had arranged for an early hearing on his
bill
Several House members who have bills
to regulate the shipment Of cold stored
products will Join Mr.. McKellar in his
demand for a probe. which will take the
form of general inquisiton not only
into the prices of eggs and meats, but
into the entire questions OF high prices
and expensive living.
Representative Mcclellan. who asked
the Department Of Justice to get busy
thinks there should be a Congressional
inquiry. He said:
THE way to beat down the prices on
the necessities of life is to beat the game
Of the cold storage operators, who cor
ner the market by holding eggs and other
foodstuffs for months at time. Ninety
days should he the limit. and ] believe |
shall make such showing before the
House Committee that legislation Will
result"
The attack on cold storage dealers by
the Department Of Justice and Congress
brought many letters and kilograms TO
Attorney General McReynolds's Office to-
day urgently requesting that the dealers
be granted hearing before the depart
ment takes the matter into the courts
The departments inquiry started Satur-
day and has progressed only far enough
for the agents TO learn something OF the
task before them.

DEMOCRATIC CAUCUS
TO BE HELD TO-DAY
Will Try to Prevent OBJECTIONS

Bank Plan Advocated.
From The Tribune Bureau. !


Washington, Nov. 25.-The difference
between the two currency bills presented
to the Senate by the two factions OF the
Banking and Currency Committee was
portrayed to-day by Senator Hitchcock as
the difference between success and
failure" With eight regional banks. the
smallest number to which the President
would agree, the proposed currency sys-
tenn will not he put into operation, said
Mr.. Hitchcock. With the plan for twelve
banks. provided by the House bill, half
the number would never be able TO per-
feet their organization. he declared
Both Senator Hitchcock and Senator
owen called attention To the fact that
the country is already feeling the effect OF
currency legislation. even though the
passage of the bill is not yet definitely i'm
sight. Senator owen estimated that the
business Of the country was suffering
loss of s5.COOooo a day. Banks are al
ready accommodating cash" said Senator
Hitchcock, "and calling their loans in
anticipation of the passage of the bill.
and the effect is being felt already all
over the country"
The Democratic conference will be held
tomorrow to map out a plan of action
and to prevent defections from the ma
jority ranks. II possible. There was
disposition among the Democratic lead
ers to-day to accept as far as possible
the amendments proposed by the Hitch
cock faction of the Banking and cur
rency Committee to obviate controversy
and possible revolt on the floor Of the
Senate.
The decision to hold the conference was
the result OF talks between the President
and party leaders I'm the Senate.
ON the question Of the number of re-
gional banks. the most serious point OF
difference. Senator Hitchcock said to-day:
zone OF the most obvious defects in tho
House bill is the proposal to establish
twelve regional reserve banks. This de-
feet is so plain that both wings Of the
committee have recognized IL. Most OF
the reserve banks so established would in
evitably be so weak IN capital and de
posits as to be- entirely useless. II II were
possible to organize them they would
hardly ray operating expenses, and would
be- source Of danger, instead Of strength.
"1n all probability, however. half OF
them would never be able to perfect their
organization. Recognizing the necessity
Of reducing the number. Senator owens
section Of the committee has reduced II
10 eight and the section Of the commit
tee represented by me has reduced the
number TO four. This presents the FIRST
sharp difference in committee, and 1t IS
an important issue In the Senate While
there is no difference in principle. there
is a vast difference in effect To my
mind it is the difference between success
and failure"
Senator Shafroth insisted that fewer
than eight regional banks would leave the
country without adequate protection IN
case of panic. because Of the Inability OF
remote country banks to get money
quickly from the reserve banks.

Fletcher's Trip to Tuxpam
Due to Inquiries by
Great Britain.
ALL ADVICES REPORT
QUIET IN OIL FIELD
Assurance Given by Rebel Com"
mander That Foreign Prop
erty Will Be Protected.

Uosbippton Nov. 25.-The sending
of Rear Admiral Fletcher, accompanies
nv John Lind, the Presidents personal
commemorative in Mexico, 10 Iamploo
and Tuxpam to investigate conditions
In those great oil centres. was the re-
suit il was learned to-day, OF brltiS"
concern in the danger which threat
ened the oil properties.
1t appears that the British Consul
at Tampico heard a report that Amel-
can marines would be landed at Tux
pam to protect foreign property lie
Immediately reported to Sir Lionel
Garden. the British Minister In Mexico
CITY. Sir Lionel got into touch with
Nelson O'Shaughnessy, the American
charge d'affaires, who knew nothing OF
the report but telegraphed 1t to the
State Department.
Sir Lionel evidently telegraphed the
alleged news to the British Embassy
here, and on Sunday night Sir Cecil
Spring-Rice, the British Ambassador.
sent Sir William Tyrrell, private secre-
tary TO the British Minister for For
eign Affairs, now visiting in Washing
ton, to see President Wilson and III
ouire what the United States intended
TO do at Tuxpam. England has war
ships of her own in Mexican waters
and If British interests are to be pro-
tected England probably wants to as
sist in that protection with her own
marines and bluejackets.
When the reports of all this agitation
reached Washington the administration
was stirred 10 action. Sir William
Tyrrell was told that there was no in
tention of landing marines at Tuxpam
at this time The situation did not re-
auire it. The same thing was tele-
graphed 10 Mr. O'Shaughnessy.
Then, according to the narrative told
to-day, the administration decided it
would be a good thing to have Rear
Admiral Fletcher make a personal in
vcstigation of conditions. So, on Sun
day night the Secretary of the Navy
instructed him to proceed to TuXpam
and Tampico, and he is probably al
ready at TuXpam. The entry of John
Lind into the matter Is not made
entirely clear, but it is known that
he has accompanied Rear Admiral
Fletcher.
just why this investigation should
bc made is far from fully explained.
Advices received at the State and Navy
departments are all TO the effect that
quiet reigns in the vicinity of Tux
pam, and it is known by The Tribune
correspondent that assurances have
been received by the administration
from both federal and rebel leaders COM
manding the armed forces in that vi
cinity that foreign property will not be
damaged.
