TREATY IS BEING FRAMED
Negotiations Being: Carried On in
JYlendly Way-night to Use of
Canal on Equal Terms Is
Part of Demand.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 10. Colombia,
places other considerations above
monetary indemnity in the settlement
of the long standing: controversy with
the United States over the separation
of Panama from the South American
country, according: to Julia Betancourt,
the Colombian minister In Washington.
In the treaty of settlement that Is
being: negotiated, but which has not
finally been agreed to. Minister Betan
court said today financial recompense
tor the loss of Panama was held by his
government secondary to stipulations
which deal with the recognition of the
Colombian law fixing the boundary be
tween that country and Panama and
the right of Colombia to have the. same
rights to use the Panama Canal as the
United States. Until the details of the
two questions are finally agreedto. It
was said the amount of money to be
paid to Colombia by this Government
would not be determined although $20.
000,000 has been reported as the ap
proximate amount. Another report has
fixed the Indemnity at $25,000,000.
"As for the supposed $25,000,000 as
the salient feature of the agreement,"
Minister Betancourt said, "the legation
wants it known that in the settlement
of so Serious a matter Colombia con
siders the amount of money a sec
ondary matter. The question of honor
involves matters higher than mere dol.
lars. The negotiations are being car
ried on In a friendly way at Bogota
and at Washington, but pending the
absence . from Colombia of American
Minister Thompson, it is too early to
talk of a final settlement."
Colombia feels, it is said, that the
granting to her of tbe right to use the
canal on the same terms as the United
States, Just as though the canal were
still in Colombia territory, is a prac
tical recognition to the nations of the
world that this country thus repays the
Inheritance right which the South
American country has In tbe canal, as
would have been the case if Panama
had never revolted.
Mr. Thompson, who returned to this
country because of hts wife's ill health,
expects to sail for Colombia early
next month to resume the negotia
tions for the treaty which was nearlng
final settlement when he left Bogota
recently.

SAVE SUET, SAY EXPERTS
Cookbooks Mislead Housewives as to
" Use of Valuable Food.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 10. American
housewives waste valuable food and
increase the cost of living when they
throw away suet or use It for soap
making says the Department of Agri

Suet, the experts contend, contains
the same food value as lard, and is a
satisfactory substitute for frying pur
poses and shortening. Cookbooks have
misled the housewives, they say.

Ckrlitnuu Drawing at Madrid Con
ducted With Elaborate Precau
tions for fairness.
MADRID, Jan. 10. The climax of the
state lottery season was reached in the
drawing for the Christmas lottery,
when novel precautions were taken to
Insure honesty. The three prizes at
stake amounted to 11,000,000 pesetas,
or about $2,200,000.
The drawing for the winning num
bers was done in a large hall of the
Casa de la Moneda In the presence of
a delegate of the government and other
state functionaries, with the public
filling up the benches In the body of
tbe hall.
The numbers of each of the tickets
sold were placed in separate metal
balls. After being mixed they were
poured Into a gigantlo transparent bar
rel, in which they were further agi
tated by a mechanical contrivance. The
same process was gone through with a
barrel of smaller dimensions, contain
ing balls in which were placed the
figures of the various prizes.
At the moment of drawing there was
dead silence In the hall. Interrupted
now and again by whisperings and Joy
ous exclamations. Two children from
the State Orphanage drew first a win
ning number then a ball denoting the
amount of Its prize. When the biggest
prize of 6,000,000 pesetas was drawn
the reporters rushed for their automo
biles In a body, and In a few moments
special editions of the papers were on
the streets announcing the winner, who
was a resident of Madrid.
The tickets for the Christmas lottery
cost $200, but it was possible to buy a
hundredth or even a thousandth part of
ticket, and often whole communities
of poor people are thus rendered afflu.
ent at Christmas by their share of a
ticket bought by the few cents which
they have saved up.
OIL TOO RICH FOR USE
Motor fillip Finds Excess of Asphalt
in California Product.
SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 10. Califor
nia crude oil is too rich in asphaltum
to be a success for internal combustion
engines. Captain C. Jensen, of the
Danish motor ship Slam, the first to
visit the Pacific Coast, which took on
a trial tankfull of oil at San Pedro, re
ported today that the oil was so thick
he could not start his engine with it.
After they had been well warmed up
the oil would burn, but even then it
showed a tendency to gum the valves.
On her. voyage from Copenhagen to
San Pedro the Slam burned oU from
Borneo.
