The COLOMBIAN
TREATY MAY BE
OPPOSED IN THE
u. S. SENATE

Washington, April 19.-Indications
were manifest Saturday that the
treaty between Colombia and the Unit
ed States would encounter opposition
when submitted to the Senate for rat
itication. Publication Saturday OF what
purported to be the text of the treaty
created much criticism of the con-
yention.
Senator Perkins of California Sat-
urday, voiced vigorous criticism, ex-
pressing the belief that the Senate
never would ratify it.
Il do not believe said Mr.. Perkins.
that the Senate lever will agree to
ratify this treaty, which makes the
United States apologize to Colombia
and provides for the payment of $685.
100000 and for free Passage of Colon
bian war vessels through the Panama
canal. Colombia should apologize to
the United States and to pay Colombia
s25, 100000 is just $25,000,0o too much"
Senator Simmons of North Carolina
defended the treaty before the Senate
canals committee.
Mr.. Simmons sought to introduce the
record of the Panama tolls exempting
hearing correspondence between Great
Britain and the United States regard
ing the right of the United States to
grant tolls exemption to Colombian
warships proposed in treaty pending
in 1909 which dealt with Colombia
rights in the canal. When Senator
Bristow insisted that introduction Of
parts of the correspondence was not
wise, Senator Simmons withdrew it.
but after a conference with Secretary
Bryan made 1t public.
The correspondence disclosed that
Great Britain was about to protest
against exemption Of Colombian war;
ships as. in contravention of the Hay
Pauncefote treaty granting equality to
ships of all nations.
After a considerable exchange of
notes Great Britain announced she
would forego making a protest. Secre-
tary of State Root in a letter con-
tanned in the correspondence, based
the right Of the United States to grant
such exemption upon the special and
exceptional position of Colombia tow
ard the canal title thereto.

1t is thought by those close to the

Miss Wilson Goes to New York
When colonel and Mrs. House, and
Cleveland Dodge completed their visit
to the White House Saturday after
noon, Miss Wilson also left for New
York, where she will visit and COM
pletc arrangements for her trousseau.
She was accompanied by her fiance,
Secretary McAdoo.
AS Miss Wilson is to serve as brides
maid for Miss Maitland Marshall on
Tuesday, at her marriage to Paymas-
ter Knapp, it is probable that she will
return here on Monday.
Except for arranging the hour at
which the ceremony will be perform
ed and a few minor details. the ar
rangements for Miss Wilson's wedding
are complete. AS soon as Mrs. Wilson
and her daughters. Mrs. Sayre and
Miss Margaret Wilson, are able to

In New England the feature of the
week is the running of the eighteenth
annual marathon race of the Boston
Athletic Association. The history of
amateur marathon racing in the Uni
ted States dates back to September
IS. 1896. In the spring of that year
the first revival of the Olympic games
was held at Athens. A small but rep
resentatiye team of American ath-
letes entered and won majority
of the events but the marathon race
was won by Loues, Greek. The
American athletes on their return to
this country were loud in their praise
of this event and as result of their
missionary work the first marathon
was held under the auspices of the
Knickerbocker Athletic Club of New
York City on September 10 of that
year. The course was from SIAM
ford, Conn. to Columbia Oval, New
York City, and John ]. McDermott,
of the New York Pastime A. c. won
the twenty-five mils run in Shr 25m
SIS 3-5s.
The following spring saw the es-
adjustment of the Boston A. a. race
which quickly became the long dis
lance road classic of the year. Since
1897 more than a thousand runners
have competed in these races and
the winners have come from all parts
of the United States and Canada. The
present course is from Ashland to
the Boston A. A. clubhouse, a dis
lance Of twenty-five miles and the rec
ord is held by NJ. j. Ryan of the
Irish American A. C. of New York,
who covered the course in 2hrs 21m
is lbs in the 1912 race. The course
is one mile, 1865 yards short of the
Olympic marathon distance, the rec
ord for which was made by X. K.
Macarthur, the South African police
man at the Stockholm games in 1912,
when he ran the rs miles. 365 yards
in 2hrs Bonn Sass.
More than one hundred of the stur-
diest distance runners in the coun-
try are expected to compete and If
the weather is favorable quarter
of million people will line the course,
to witness the race which is held over
state roads with the start just out
side the village of Ashland, and the
finish opposite the Club House on Ex-
eter ST., Boston. For the first four
teen miles the course is gently undu-
lating and generally down HILL The
road leads through South Framing

Amateur Athletic Season of 1914
Will Open This Week With
Most Flattering of Prospects

Atkinson had just enough reserve 20
stagger across the line.
Since their arrival in this country
the Oxford representatives have been
training at Brown University, and will
leave tomorrow for Philadelphia for a
final tapering off in condition. Their
work at the Providence university
track has been both fast and consist
ent and while the American college
entrants have all been training hard
for the race there does not appear at
this time any practice records to war
rant the belief that the oxford four
will be defeated. Should any of the
teams entered arise to the occasion
as American athletes have habit of
doing, it will be one of the most not
able victories of the 1914 season of
sport.
