 Knowing the benefit of a certain amount of military training to a nation and that in the United States such training can only be obtained by vol untary effort, and that the great ma 1ority of young men are unable to afford this training as given in the various military schools and colleges, the secretary of war has decided to establish four students military in struction camps during the coming summer, to which students IS years

 These camps are of great value not only to the students from a physical and educational standpoint, but 10 the citizens a considerable amount of sound military information and in creases by just that much the number of partially trained men who would be available and greatly needed in times of emergency"

New York, April 1o.-Chairman Howard Elliott of the New York, New Haven and Hartford Railroad com pany said tonight before leaving for Boston: '@The Billiard company mat ters, which are now under investiga- tion by the Commerce Commission, re- late to happenings several years ago. before I was connected with the New Haven company.

NEW TREATY WITH
 WITH COLOMBIA
Gives That Country Free Use of Pan-
 anna Canal For Warships.

Washington. April 10-Free use of the Panama canal by Colombia men, of-war troop ships and army and navy supply vessels is proposed in the new treaty between the United States and Colombia signed at B0gata on Tuesday to heal the breach between the two countries over the separation of Panama. This was announced to- night by Secretary Bryan, with the eX- planation that the clause in the con- Vention was identical with the one in the Colombia treaty negotiated by Sec retary Root in 1909, with the approval of Great Britain and ratified by the United States senate though never ac- cepted by Colombia.
 Mir. Bryan's statement followed a long conference at the state depart ment with Senator O'Gorman, chair man of the Senate Canals commits sion, which has under consideration the administration bill repeating the clause of the Panama Canal act ex- empting American coastwise shipping from canal tolls
 Senator OGorman who is leading the democratic opposition to President Wilson's repeal policy, went back to the capitol carrying new ammunition for his fight. He would not discuss the matter himself, but other op- ponents of exemption repeal pointed to the fact that Great Britain had agreed to preferential treatment for ColoIn- bian vessels, because of Colombia De- culiar relation to the canal as evj- dence that Great Britain and President Wilson now are putting a new con struction on the words "A1l Nations" in the clause of the Hay-Pauneefote treaty, guaranteeing equal treatment to the vessels of the nations using the canal. Their claim is that these words were not intended to apply to the United States, the owenr of the canal and they will urge the admission of Greta Britain in the Colombian matter as proof.
 MT. Bryan said the treaty signe.. at Bogota employs the language of the Root-Corts ship canal treaty grant ing the use of tue waterway to '"Tne Troops mater ials fer war and ships of war of the rrpuoiie of Co;ombia without paying any duty to the United States; even in case of an internation- al war between Colombia and another country,
 When the new treaty has baaH rat- flied, MT, Bryan explained, 1t will be necessary to conclude a treaty between Colombia and Panama He would not say whether the acceptance by al con- cerned of the tri- -partite treaties would solve of the problems pending be- tween Panama. Colombia and the United States nef would he give any further hint of the provisions of the latest Colombian treaty, which will be made public next Wednesday.

Mellen's management, with the Billiard company. had been legal, and whether any sums improp- erly diverted from the New HaN en could he discovered. Because the foundation for their testimony could not be laid without the records, they were not called upon to testify.
 Attorneys for the commission de- clared 'hac they expected to show from the books and from certain wit neSses details of the Billiard cOmpany's oruanization; its financial relations with the New Haven and it's subSi- diaries; that immense profits had heen made by certain individuals officially i --tihed with the New Haven and with the Billiard company through unique transactions in finance between the two companies, and that much of this money was recoverable to the New Haven.
 Just what the Billiard company is was not disclosed at today's hearing. \o witness except Samuel Morehouse of New Haven would admit that he had any connection with the company, either as a stoclIholder or as an off cer. although the presumed president, treasurer and some stockholders were on the witness stand.
