information reached this government
through copy of a letter fron. the am
bassador to his government. The bearer
was an American citizen, named Archi

mitted that he employed Archibald to
bear official dispatches from him to his
government.
"By reason Of the admitted purpose
and intent Of Mr.. Dumba to consplre to
cripple legitimate industries OF the peo-

PANAMA
Graft Case AgitateS The 18TH
mus

Washington, Sept. 10--According
to reports from Panama, Ricardo Ber
mudez, former governor of Colon who
has been indicted at Indianapolis,
charged with Illicit transactions with
John Burke while the latter was
manager of the canal commissary de.
partment, is getting strong backing
from the Panamanians to his protest
authorities. Bermudez claims that he
was kidnapped. Adjoining the city of
Panama is a strip of territory known
as Las Sabanas that formerly belong
ed to the Canal Zone but later was
ceded to Panama in exchange for
harbor rights at Colon. 1t appears
that Bermudez, while in Las Sabanas.
was arrested by the American police
who took him to Ancon, where he
gave bail before the district court for
his appearance in New York where
he was first indicted.
The American police claim they
had the right to seize Bermudez in
Las Sabanas, Panama having not at
that time taken possession. Even If
they were wrong in arresting him,
they allege, Bermudez waived his
rights when he accepted jurisdiction
of the American courts by giving bail
The question will be settled at the
federal court in Indianapolis next
winter, but meanwhile it has created
a heated controversy on the isthmus

States government, despite the con-
veyances. Thereupon, one of the
purchasers of the property swore out
a warrant for the arrest of the par
ties, who, he charged, had sold prop
erty twice in violation of the law
The men were arrested as they were
about to board vessel for jamaica
after having pocketed the purchase
price given by the government.
The defendants admitted they had
executed both deeds, the one to the
complainant and the other to the gov
ernment. Accordingly they were held
for trial. When the cases were call
ed, the district attorney, Charles r.
Williams, informed the court that IL
he prosecuted the defendants It
would make the government party
to the crime, and, as the government
attorney, he could not logically take
such stand.
1t was further claimed by the dis
trict attorney that the deeds to the
complainant were not deeds, because
it had been held by the joint land
commission that when President Taft
signed the law to purchase all private
property in the canal zone, the title
thereto Immediately passed from all
owners to the government, the former
retaining nothing more than claim
for damages.
When the district attorney refused
to prosecute, and the self-confessej
perpetrators OF the dual sale were al
lowed to go free, the action created {
sensation upon the isthmus. This
was increased by charges made
against theN district attorney by one
of the defrauded purchasers. Thes'
accusations have been sent to Wash
ington, the war department having
jurisdiction over the canal.

1t doesn't take such a vivid i'm
agination to grasp the generalities Of
| the situation which confronts a
young girl suddenly set down in a
New England village, when the girl
speaks no English and the villagers
speak none but their own language
But, to grasp the details and to real

That Lili's rescuer is young Am

to the interest OF the story, but the
fact that he is as badly broke" as
she is when he rescues her, adds
more than humOr. 1t furnishes the
opportunity for some quantity anus
ing situations such as a charming
young actress as Miss Martin can
make the most of. Miss Martin, with
her delicate bits of almost pathetic
comedy, and her pure, girlish char
acterization of the part of Lii, car
res the interesting story through to
finish that gives a final touch to
true-to-life tale of modern love and
adventure.

proval of the most exacting critics o..

of this famous comedy, presented by
the Famous Players Film company on
the Paramount Program, at the Royal

worth six cents have gone up to ten

HELP LURLKE TO
Make SPEED

Granting swine, gobbling turkeys.
neighing horses and several hundred
bales Of hay down in the hold gave
the Matson steamer Lurline quite a
rural atmosphere this morning, when
she locked at Pier Is at $3.50, delayed
an hour by her heavy cargo, which
made her speed less than usual.
Capt. Arthur L. Soule of the Hilo-
MAN brought the ship in on his first
trip as commander Of the Lurline.
Whether he will retain captaincy of
the steamer permanently is not
known: Purser P. H. .Levey reported
that although the contract has been
let, the keel of the new Matson steam
er which is to duplicate the Matsonia,
had not been laid by the Union Iron
Works when the Lurline left the
coast.
Following winds and seas enabled
the Lurline to maintain her schedule
time closely but delayed the Manoal
considerably. The latter steamer
was passed by the Lurline at 6:15
last Saturday morning, IL hours late.

PASSENGERS were brought in by the
