about the advantages of the Is
land. II surely can stand lot
of dry weather, as we had long
er dry spell than at any time in
our II years of living here, and
we thought we wouldn't have
very much garden, but it flour
ished and grey in spite of dry
weather. There must be water
below that helps out, / expected
no pears, beans, or many tomatoes
this year but had plenty as us
ual We canned as many toma-
toes as in other years. so it is
remarkable the drought the Is
land can stand. And fruit; the
trees were all loaded and it seems
pity to see 50 much lying on the
ground decaying.

Bureau of the Budget will begin

MINISTER DENIES
U. S. interference
Colombian Envoy Says American
Economists Did Not Advise Dis
position of Panama Fund.

DR. Enrique Olaya. Colon bian Min
lister here, yesterday issued a state
ment denying that the financial mis-
sion of American economists. appoint
ed by the government of Colombia
to study possible financial reforms
for Colombia, had advised on the dis
posal of the SIS 100000 which Colom-
in virtue of the treaty ratified in
1922.
The statement says the measures
advised by the mission are "of q. gen.
eral character destined to reorganiZe
the budget, the banking system and
the taxes on a scientific basis" 1t
was issued as a reply to assertions
of Samuel Guy Inman, who had
charged the United States Govern
ment with economic Imperialism in
Latin-America at the Williamstown
Institute of Politics.
'It is not true" the statement says.
that the fact that Colombia engaged
a group of American experts in
financial and economic matters signi-
fies American financial control, much
less political control, over the life of
Colombia. The Department of State
at the request of my government, in
a friendly way, suggested the names
of technical economists who, because
could successfully carry on the bank
ing and fiscal studies which Colombia
desired.
my government freely contracted
with these experts and freely well
coined the measures that were sug-
gested by them and which appeared
adequate for promoting the develop
ment of the country and the stability
Of it's finances. The opinions of the
mission were carefully analyzed by
the press of Colombia and it's projects
were the subject of unhampered
public debate in Congress, which then
adopted those measures which ap-
peared useful and well planned.
There was not, nor is there, finan-
cial control or compulsion of any
kind. The services of the members
of the mission were given with COM
plete integrity and in way that de-
serves praise for their scientific prep
aration- This has been recognized by
all who are acquainted with the work
OF tho mission"

SEE ENCKE'S COMET
NEARING THE EARTH
Wanderers Return to Point
Within Telescope Range
Is Announced.

While the planet Mars and it's
Mystery has been for some weeks
the subject of intense astronomical
discussion and the objective point in
the southeastern heavens for tele-
scopic observation, the periodical
return of Encke's comet is announced
and again the wanderer comes within
the reach of telescopes and astrono-
mers are able to CLEAN many inter-
esting facts from it's travels in space
The return of Enckes comet and
it's position in the heavens is an
nounced from the Yerkes Observa-
tory, and it's perihelion passage
that point in the orbit of a comet
nearest the earth-wil be reached on
or about October 81. The comet is
now visible to ordinary telescopes
commencing the last week in August
Makes Circuit Every Three Years.
Enckes comet makes the circuit
of the heavens once in three years.
1t was discovered in 1913 and has
long since been recognized by as
tronomers as a member of the earths
system and a teacher of marvellous
power, for on it's movements are con-
tanned impre ssive evidence as to the
way in which celestial phenomena
are founded on the law of gravita-
tion.
Encke found from observations that
his comet returned to the sun once in
1910 days, which was then a startling
announcement. At that time no other
comet of short period had been de-
tected, SO that this new addition to
the solar system awakened the live
liest interest. In fact, it was the
first cometary addition to the solar
system.
Astronomers regard Encke's comet
by it's long wanderings and by it's
frequent visits, as indeed pregnant
with information on various other
points relating to the solar system.
The distance of the earth from the
sun is a matter which affects Encke's
comet: the earths distance from the
sun must be among the numerous
elements of the question of it's posi-
ton in space. Unless the right dis
tance be chosen in the calculations
the observed place will not corre-
spond with the calculated space.
Held Sumcient by Astronomers.
This consideration is sufficient for
the mathematician and astronomers.
They can actually disentangle the
earth's distance from the other
quantities involved.
The approach of Encke's comet
within the range of telescope OBJ
servation may give to the scientific
world more satisfactory and prac-
tical results of physical research,
especially in the exhibition of the
laws of universal gravitation and

quash the indictments against him
charging murder. robbery and assault,
with intent to commit murder in con-
nection with the shooting of Mrs.
Theresa Mors, August 81, were denied
in the Superior Court yesterday. The
motions were based on errors in the
preparation of the indictments and
failure to include the name of Mrs.
Jennie Thomas, Kid McCoy's sister,
as a witness.
Further arguments on the legality
Of the indictments were heard.
Frank Heron, foreman of the grand
jury which indicted Mccoy, and j.
Witherspoon. secretary, were called
to the witness stand by the defense
attorneys.
Omission Was Error.
Heron explained the absence Of
Mrs. Thomas name from the indict-
ment list of witnesses. He told the
court that her testimony had been
taken at another time, while the
grand jury was celebrating on other
indictments. He declared the absence
of the name an oversight.
Superior Judge Charles S. Grail Or
dered Mrs. Thomas name added to
the list and overruled all motions
of the defense. Next Tuesday was
the date set for McCoy's plea
