Although President Huerta, In an offi cial statement to Nelson O'Shnugh nessy, the American Charge d)AffaIres, has apologized for the unusual zeal ousness of the Mexican commander nt Tampico, there exists here great un easiness because Admiral Mayo Is re ported to have demanded that the Gov ernment authorities at Tampico salute the American colors.

"If the Investigation which is to be made should develop greater rcsponsi' btlity on the part of Colonel Hlnojosa, a corresponding penalty will be iuv posed upon him by the authorities legally competent in the case."

AUTO PLUNGES INTO ELIZABETH RIVER Two Men Drowned and Five Are Rescued. to m COL OIIA CANAL I OE SAILORS FORM HUMAN CHAIN Treaty Signed at Bogota Agree ing on $25,000,000. Car was On Way From Portsmouth Jail When It Leaped Through An Open Draw Chauffeur Goes Down With Car. Norfolk, Va. Two men were drown ed, and four others had a narrow escape here when an automobile, bear ing five of tho Jamestown bookmakers who were released from the Ports mouth Jail, plunged through an open draw into the Elizabeth River. The four who were rescued from the Icy waters are at SU Vincent's Hospital here. So sudden was the accident that none of the occupants had an oppor tunity to leap for their lives, and they snnk into the river before tho eyes of a score of witnesses. Only quick action on the part of a number of sail ors who wero standing nearby, the first to regain their presence of mind, saved the four, who were struggling against a strong tldo. Four of those In the machine were bookmakers, who were among the 13 arrested at Jamestown several days ago, charged with book making. They had been in the Portsmouth Jail, which is not far distant from Norfolk, and an automobile had been employed to take them from the Jail to this city after the necessary papers for their re lease had been procured.

With the draw wide open they continued across the bridge, while a scoro of terrified persons looked on. Too late to stop, tho chauffeur saw the open spuco with the Icy waters below. He mad a frantic effort to stop, but the machine shot clear across the open spare, and to those looking on, seemed to piling straight down Into the water. With a sickening hiss, caused by the hot engine coming In contact with the water, it snnk be neath the surface, carrying with It its human burden.

Man Convicted On Charge Of Violating White Slave Law. Fort Worth, Texas. Tudio Arnold, of Blytheville, Ark., accused of having 1G wives, wns sentenced In the Federal Court here to 10 years' Imprisonment on a technical charge of violating the Mann White Slave act. Seven of Arnold's alleged wives testified against him. Washington, I). C. Undisguised gratification is felt by administration officials hero at the prospect of finally healing the breach between the United States and Colombia through the treaty Just signed at Bogota. If this conven tion Is ratified by the Senates of the two countries, as the officials are con fident It will be, it will close amicably a bitter controversy, brought on by the secession of Panama in 1903 and the granting to the United States the Canal Zone and which has cast a blight upon the relations between the United States and all Latin America. The principal article of the treaty provides for tho payment to Colombia of $25,000,000 six months after ratifica tions have been exchanged between the two countries, as Indemnity for the losses she has sustained. This Is granted in a lump sum, and the treaty does not attempt to specify how much of this amount is in reparation for the loss of Panama or how much for the loss of the Panama Railway rights. Colombia Is granted the right to ship coal, salt and petroleum from her At lantic to her Tactile ports, either through the canal or across the Pan ama Railway, without any charge other than the cost of freight, no duty being assessed. These articles are not pro duced along the Pacific side of the country and there Is no easy communi cation over land through Colombia on account of the high Andes Mountnlns. Fixes Boundary Line. A third article fixes the boundary line between Colombia and Panama and restores to the latter a strip of ter ritory which has been claimed by Pan ama. This line is tho same as that which was provided in the Cortes Arosomena trenty between Colombia and rannma, one of the tripartite treaties never ratified by Colombia, ex cept that it fixes definitely the point on the Pacific Coast where the boundary terminates, which Is to be mid-way between Tolnts C'oconllta and Ardita. The former trenty left this point to bo settled by a trlbunnl of arbitration to be appointed. Even after tho approval of the present treaty by the Colombian and American Senates, a treaty be tween Colombia and Panama will be necessary before this boundary settle ment Is final. The United States agrees to use Its good offices with Pan ama In tho matter. Another article expresses the hope thnt friendly relations between the United States and Colombia may con tinue from this tlino forward. No rights for a new Intereeonnlc canal across Colombia by the Atrnto River route, and no coaling privileges on San Andreas and Trovidencla Is lands, off the Colombian coast, it was added, wero contained In the treaty. While the Colombian minister, Senor Betancourt, received a cnble from his foreign office, Informing him of the signing of the agreement, tho State Department was still awaiting word from Mr. Thompson. The Colombian Congress will be called In special session to pass on the treaty before It is submitted to the Senate hero. Washington, D.
