CONCHA REMOVED Chief Obstacle to Panama Canal Treaty Out of ' tha Way ;'" Washington, Dec. 1. Something in the nature of a sensation occurred in official and diplomatic circles this morning by the announcement that Se nor Don Jose Vincent Concha, Colom bian minister to the United States, had been relieved from duty by the Co lombian government and would proba bly be succeeded as minister by Thom as Herran. secretary of legation, who is now acting as charge d'affalrs. The change is of the utmost importance as bearing upon the possibilities of a ca nal treaty covering the Panama route. Somehow it has come to be understood that Minister Concha, while not averse to any .treaty, had assumed an attl- tude that "made it impossible to ex- pect any agreement with him upon any convention that would be accepta- . letter of the Spooner law, and the ear- !Unal point of that act was the re-i quirtmeni mai uniiea Eiaies snouia have perpetual control of the strip wherein the canal was to be dug.

In reference to President Roosevelt's letter to a South Carolinian on the appointment of ne groes to office in the south, Henry Watterson says: "The President has tissued another statement from the white house not- withstanding the fact that the Ink of the latest preceding statement from the white house' was hardly dry. It is m the form of a letter to" somebody in South Carolina, and though mark- ed ."personal" was given to the public bv the Dresident before it could have Roosevelt has views on . most things, secure a. re-election t the presidency. at -t&e White House policy did not bring them .rhlte votes. as they hoped and th6ught It would do, but rather won them the contempt of right thinking people, who had no tolerance for their base treachery to wards the men who had elevated them,' to office and who had furnished three fourths of the voting strength of their party. . v "These proceedings against Demo cratic registrars is the Republican way of conciliating the negro and currying favor with Roosevelt.- They hope to make the Democratic registrars scape srnut. Thev will nnt unccpcil hut tha.t fact does not relieve their effort to doK by implication what they have not the courage to do openly on account of their pusillanimity.

"The Democratic party believes that the registrars have discharged their duty faithfully and honestlv. Thev j speneer Blackbar "Don'lThlnk" Congressman E. Spencer Blackburn has little faith in the sincerity ln the movement for the prosecution of Demo cratic registrars who are charged with denying to educated .negroes, qualified as electors, the right to registe" In the recent -campaign. When asked what be thought about the proposed indict ment of registrars, Mr. Blackburn said: "I don't think about this subject at all. I. see no reason for bringing the federal court and its officers into disrepute by playing with violators of the law, only long enough to arouse the public mind and then turn around and not prose cute them, to please 1l few pretended adherents to the Republican caiise. It will simply mean a further expenditure o? the people's money to defend election officers who violate the law under the direction:-of their leaders."

The -Republican party is either, some thing, or nothing. It it is only a foot ball to be kicked from one party to an other and have no settled policy, tuen it-behooves every one to cling to what ever broken spar he can find." Relations still ;r.llal Senator Pritchard made his much an ticipated visit to the White House to day. The conference lasted some min utes. After leaving the president, the senator said his interview was most pleasant and that his relations with Mr. Roosevelt were most cordial. . He stated that he went over the, fen tire southern situation with the' pres ident, and more particularly the North Carolina situation. The senator broke the very interest ing news that he demanded the remo val of Samuel H. Vick, the negro post master at Wilson, N. C. This means that the senator has faced the , issue between the president u and himself. Senator Pritchard says he is jtlll satis fled with the action of the North Car olina Republicans in eliminating , the negro from the. Republican party in North Carolina and has no apologies to make for his course. "That we were right in our action," said Sena tor Pritchard;1 "Is shown by the vote in the November election.. We polled a bigger white vote than ever known question in a very brief period of time, and this naturally makes Requisite a greater celerity and frequency in the Issuance of statements explanatory and defensive. Nothing like It was ever known before in the .history, of the white house. No wonder it has been deemed necessary, since Mr. Roosevelt's domiciliation therein, to enlarge the mansion. If the business of issuing statements to the people Is to go on at the present rate the addi tions to the structure wlllr no doubt still prove inadequate." PRONOUNCED ACCIDENTAL Doctors Agroe In Regard to tht Death of Mrs. Gore Paris, Dec 1. Mr. Gowdy, the Amer ican consul general Issued a statement today to the effect that Doctors Mag pin, Whitman, Gros and Tanner, the American physicians appointed by him to investigate the death of Mrs. Ellen Gore ln the rooms of the Russian sing er, De.Radzewski, had handed In their report. The report which signed by all four physicians Is in harmony with the outopsy of Dr. Socquet who stated that Mrs. Gore's death was the result of an accident. V "' Mr. Gowdy hoped to be able to make his report to the state department at Washington tomorrow but because of numerous letters and documents found, in Mrs. Gore's apartments and those in possession of the Judge d'fnstruc tion It will be impossible for him to go over the ' entire affair for several dan. in the state. Despite the disfranchise ment of 125,000 negroes, which 'the Democrats admit had always been cast with the Republicans, the Demo cratic majority ln the state a month, ago was only 67.C00. about the same as when the .negroes were voting." The senator stated also that he will prepare a statement, ' probably today, which he will show to the president and give out for publication. This statement, it is said, will give the sen ator's views on the political conditions ln the state. Senator Pritchard and Senator Han na retired to one of the senate lounges after adjournment and were engaged ln conversation for ten minutes. It Is thought that Pritchard gave Hanna, his version of the movement that re sulted in the formation of the lily white Republican organization of the south. Nearly all the members of the state delegation were ln their seats today when congress convened. There were demonstrative scenes on each side of the house prior to the hour of meet ing. Members were busy greeting each other and shaking hands. It was a cheerful scene In the extravagant display of flowers on desks Tar Heels were remembered. Senator Pritchard received a handsome bouquet, though It was not of white lilies as had been suggested. Congressman Blackburn was concealed from view by an Im mense basket of flowers that measur ed "several feet in height. Congress man Bellamy was rewarded with a modest bouquet of roses. Congressmen Loud and Mercer, both of whom" were defeated, received the most beautiful floral offerings ln the house. Congressman Moody Is detain ed at home by several Important cases in ' court and Congressman Claude Kitchin will arrive tonight. Jor Prsprt r Iislalat1a Little legislation will be attempted at this session of Congress outside of the appropriation bills, and North Carolina Congressmen have small hope of get ting through measures of local intrest that were so persistently urged at the last . session. Congressman W. W. Kitchin says he has not given up hope for the Winston public building bill, and that If the Committee on Publ'o' Buildings holds a meeting he will carry thematter before it. Congressman Small wttr be nabfe to do anything with his' Inland water route project, for the reason 'that "he w'ill havl to await the report of the army engi neers, who are conducting an inves tigation. Congressman Thomas .will endeavor to. secure the passage of his bill for a new revenue cutter at New Bern. Congressman ; Brownlow of Tennes see, . who Is one of the most urgent champions of, the measure for the es tablishment of an Appalachian Park, said that a strong effort would be made, to secure the passage . of the bill. "A, conference of the friends of the bill will be held at an early date," he said today, 'and I believe we can pass it at this session." The State delegation will be quar tered In hotels during the short ses sion. , The Riggs House gets thef lion's share, where Senator Simmons and Messrs. Pou, Small and Thomas nrp quartered. Senator Pritchard is at the Ebbitt, Bellamy at the Normandle, Blackburn . at the Raleigh, Kluttz, Kitchin and .Moody at the National. ( -.
