I SIGN NEW TREATY
- VNITBD STATES TO PAY COLOMBIA
FOR GA11HINO OFPAN AM A.
: MUST NOW BE RATIFIED
^tentative Agreeeinnt is Tlint This
w
Country Pay Twenty-Five Million
p
Dollars for the Participation of
Panama and tlie Acquisition of the
Canal Zone.
Twenty-Jive million dollars is the
amount the United States agrees to
pay to Colombia for the partition of
. fan am a ana the acquisition of the
canal zone in the treaty signed Wednesday
in Bogota by American Minister
Thompson and the Colombian
authorities. No rights for a new interoceanic
canal across Colombia by
the Astrato river route and no coaling:
privileges on Providencia Islands
of the Colombia coast, it was added,
were contained in the treaty.
Tho boundary between Colombia
and Panama is to follow the lino laid
down in an earlier treaty which was
signed but never approved by the
Colombian congress. One important
demand which the South American
country had been insisting upon, tho
free passage of her merchant vessels
through tho canal, was given up because
of President Wilson's attitude
In favor of repeal of the tolls exemptions.
That had been a stumbling
block in the way of final agreement.
The Colombian congress will ,be
called in special session to pass on
the treaty before it is submitted to
the United States Senate. Acceptance
of the latest, treaty will end 10
years of negotiation and friction between
the United States and Colombia
and relieve strained diplomatic
relations which have been watched
with tho keenest interest by UatinAmerican
republics.
Colombia has insisted that the
United States either pay a lump sum
for the canal zone it acquired when
tho Republic of Panama was set up
over night with guarantees of integrity
from AVashington, or that the
whole question be submitted to The
Hague for arbitration. The last negotiations
took place at the close of
President Taft's administration when
"Minister Dubois under instructions
or Secretary Knox offered a settlement
on this basas:
Ratification by Colombia by the soij&llod
tri-partie treaty of 1909 by
which Panama agreed to apportion
with Colombia the annual payment of
$250,000 which she receives from the
United States as rent for the canal
UBone for a suflicient period to liquidate
any claim of Colombia's up to
$10,000000.
Payment of $1 0,000,000 to Colombia
,by the United States for the option
on the Atrato routes and military
sites at St. Andrews and old
Providencia. An offer of the friendly
influence of the United States to
bring about a settlement with Panama.
An offer to arbitrate reversionary
rights in Panama.
Before going out of office President
Taft transmitted a letter to Congress
containing Secretary Knox's report
of the negotiations, saying that
Colombia by refusal had "closed the
door to any future overtures by the
United States". Secretary Hay had
previously declined to submit Colombia's
claims to arbitration on the
ground that they were political and
not justifiable.
The text of tlio treaty is not to be
published officially until after Easter,
Representative newspapers declare
the treaty is very concise and contains
the following1 provisions:
I. The restoration of friendly relations
between the United States and
Colombia.
II. An indemnity of $25,000,000
to bo paid to Colombia six months
after the ratifications have been expanded
between the two countries.
III. Certain privileges for Colombian
commerce by way of the Panama
canal.
IV. The Colombian Panama boundary
to be based on the law of Juno
1855, demarcating the former SoloWbian
State of Panama.
V. The United States to lend her
{good offices for the settlement for
pending questions between Columbia
and Panama.

Gen. Carranza, tlio Constitutlonalis
chief, urging him to modify the or
der of Gen. Villa expelling Spaniard
, from Torreon. The situation is glv
ing grave concern to authorities a
Washington. The United States hat
undertaken to extend to Spaniards ii
Mexico the same protection it afford
Americans resident there, and Am
bassador Riano has been assured tha
nothing will bo left undono to assun
for the unfortunates at Torreon ever:

Spain proposes to exhaust ever:

made plain Tuesday, when Rear Ad
miral Mayor, at Tampico, called tin
navy department that the command
ing ofllcer of tho British cruiser Her
moine had been instructed to cart
for Spaniards at that port.
Tho State department, as well a:
the Spanish embassy at Washington
is embarrassed in dealing with the
Torreon situation by a lack of exacl
information as to the extent of the
expulsion decree and how far it has
been executed. It is understood Villa,
in a public speech, told the Spaniards
of Torreon they were to be deported
en masse; that a commission
would he appointed to examine intc
each individual case and that such
of them as could establish tho tact
that they have rendered no aid to

The gravity of the problem has
been increased by unofficial, but credible
information, that this policy ol
expulsion of the Spaniards is to bo oi
general application; that as rapidly
as the Constitutionalists extend their
control they intend to drive out the
Spaniards and seize their property.
Foreseeing the gravest international
complications if the Constitutionalists
should undertake to apply this
doctrine of wholesale expulsion ol
aliens to other than Spaniards, the
state department is expected to laj
this subject before Gen. Carranza sc
plainly that he will exercise his fill
power to prevent further interfer

r ten years and the operations of many
sawmills havo made great inroads
into the available supply of timber
3 in the Palmetto State. There are
several large tracts of timber now on
3 the market in South Carolina and if
_ these are cut off, as they are quite
. likely to be within the next two years,
3 South Carolina's timber interests will
have boon considerably lessened,
j Some of the largest tracts in the
State have been purchased by north[
ern and western capital and the
L dressed lumber shipped outside the
, State to markets where it would
5 bring the highest prices. If you keep
. in touch with conditions and events
you will note that when forests are
. cut down by these lumber operators,
L the small trees, which are valueless,
( are also swept away and the ground
, made desolate, so to speak, instead
of cleaning out the larger trees and
, leaving the young saplings to grow
and bring later revenue. This is one
of the evils of the "timber hog",
i South Carolina has for years re
garded her timber rights with little
! regard. These seemed to be enough
' in sight and ample timber to take
' care of immediate needs. So, why
worry? The average man paid little
s heed or had no concern in the future
cost of timber for construction pur.
poses fifteen or twenty years from
. now. Wood sufficient for his flre?
place seemed the only issue when
f considering the timber question.
5 But not so the men who have the
r interests of State and nation at heart.

\ become of paramount importance.

pounding on the front doors of our
legislative halls for recognition, and
crying out against the shameful
wastes of timber lords and hogs who
y recognize no man's rights but their
own personal gain.
Our pine forests have become dei
pleted and by carelessness, many vali
liable tracts have been almost de0
stroved by fire. In some parts of the
- State where long leaf pine yas plenli1
ful five years ago, there is hardly a
i hundred trees visible. Forest fires
- over uncared-for tracts of timber
1 land prove costly. One woman in
d eastern North Carolina had a large
f tract of long leaf pine for which she
r refused $75,000 and six months later
r a negro, after ho had been discharg5
ed, set fire to the forest and it was
3 sold later for $5,000.
0 This only illustrates the extent of
. damage by fire possible, and further
- emphasized the importance of caring
- for valuable tim,ber tracts so that ex
tensive and damaging fires will be
t impossible. By proper trimming hero
and there and cleaning up or burning
1 debris the amount of fire risks would
- have been reduced to a minimum.
Of course, in thousands of int
stances, land has been cleared of
- trees and stumps and converted into
a profitable farming acreage, whereas it
a produced nothing beforo but a thirdgrade
of lumber. But the point is,
not enough emphasis of importance
is placed upon the value of restocking
our forests or providing for the fu
v lure. In Germany, for instance, a
certain area is replanted with young
trees every year to replace the natural
yearly consumption of timber
through regular channels. If a man
\ desires his son to be a rich man, at
- the child's birth ten or twenty acres
' of land arc planted with bland walnut
and at the age of 21 years the young
* man is indeed wealthy. This is a
1 system of conservation or providing
0 for the future entirely foreign to the
0 average American.
r Our farm journals and agricultural
papers aro filled with column after
n column devoted to tlio subjects of
good seed, moro power for the farmer,
county fairs and such subjects,
but not a line do you find as to the
1 value of timber to any State and the
11 need of restocking our waste areas
with some good quality of timber.
h Prof. Charles A. Koffer says: "The
farmer man or boy, woman or girl,
who knows only the work of the
farm, can not be as happy in his or
her living as the one who knows well
0 tllO life surroundinc him* wild hlrda
11 and fishes ought to ho very much a
8 part of the society of him whose home
8 is in the country."
Prof. Keffer is right. Every farmer,
and his boys should study trees,
the different wood, park, branches
. and development. With nursery
:1 stock so cheap and the possibilities of
a orchards becoming moro and more
- apparent, ihere is no reason why proi
fitable orchards could not be planted
on the acreage loft by woodchoppurs.

GOVERNOR IN TEARS
GLYNN REFUSES RARDON TO
TUB NEW YORK GUNMEN.
?
Puts Aside the Sympathy of His ^
Heart in Order That Justice May
K~ r? -
l?3 J JO lit?. ' ^
An impassioned and dramatic appeal
by five Jewish clergymen of New
York for a stay of the execution of
the four gunmen convicted of killing
Herman Rosenthal was denied by
Gov. Glynn late Thursday. The convicted
men now must die in the electrie
chair at Sing Sing next Monday. ?
The plea, which was made in the
executive chamber, was based on the A
possibility of new evidence develop- ^ j
ing in the second trial of former
Police Lieut. Becker. It so complete- I
ly unnerved the executive that he had I
to retire to his private ofilee for a J
time before ho couid resume his duties.
The clergymen are all officers or
members of the Union of Orthodox 4L
Jewish Congregations of America.
Each was permitted to make this
plea. The governor meanwhile stood,
nervously twitching his watch chain ?
His face was drawn and white, his
lips quivered and tears were in his
eyes.
At times the governor interrupted,
tlie evidence beforo him did not warrant
a change of his decision not to
grant the prisoners' plea for executive
elemonov
"If it were my heart alone that <
was considering (his case," ho said,
"you know what I would do. If It
was a choice between sentiment and
justice and I had to side with jus- ^
tice, I would have given every cent t *
possess hot to have had to pass upon
this case finally."
The governor summed up his decision
thus: "I am conviced that it
would ho a miscarriage of justice to
grant a commutation and an improper
exercise of executive power to .
grant a reprieve." M
Declaring himself "unable to discover
any reason that would justify
the granting of a reprieve," Mr.
Glynn quotes the unanimous opinion
of the court of appeals in sustaining
the verdict against the gunmen,
as well as District Attorney Whit- . ^
man and Trial Justice Goff, to subEtantiate
his contention that the gun- H[
men's case "does not in the least depend
upon the result in the Becker
case."
Until late Monday night, when
Gov. Glynn had finished reading w
every scrap of material bearing on
the trial and conviction of the gun- % m
men, the belief prevailed he would
grant a respite. The governor several
times declared to newspaper men
that if he followed the dictates of his 9
heart he would put off the execution
until after Becker had been tried
again. Mr. Glynn seemed to fear .
that something might develop at H
Becker's second trial that would put ?
an entirely different aspect on the
part played by the gunmen in the *
murder of Rosenthal. v
The matter of deciding the fate of
the gunmen was the most nerve- 1
racking task that the governor has I
had before him. "For four days,"
said one of his friends, "this affair *
has been on the governor's mind during
every minute of the day. A man
of generously sympathetic nature,
the governor found it hard to bring wt
himself to sign an order that would VM
carry out next week the death sentences
of the gunmen." J
